EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR BOTH THE RESOLUTIONS PURSUANT TO SECTION 102(1) AND 110 OF THE COMPANIES ACT, 2013

The Scheme shall be called as 'Cyient Limited - Associate Restricted Stock Units Scheme 2020 ('the Scheme'). Cyient Limited acknowledges that its growth may be attributed to the direction and contributions of the associates and would therefore like to provide them the option to participate and share in the wealth created similar to other stakeholders i.e. clients, investors, governments and society. As a gesture aligned to this objective, this Scheme is proposed to issue Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) for eligible associates.

As per provisions of Regulation 6 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Share Based Employee Benefits) Regulations, 2014 ("SEBI Regulations"), the Company seeks shareholders' approval for the Scheme and grant, vesting and allotment of RSUs to the eligible Associates of the Company and its subsidiaries thereunder, which Board has approved at its meeting held on 16 January 2020. The key features of the Scheme are as under:

a) Brief description of the Scheme:

The Scheme contemplates grant of Restricted Stock Units ("RSU or units") to the eligible Associates of the Company and its subsidiaries, as may be determined in due compliance of SEBI Regulations and provisions of the Scheme. After vesting of RSUs, the eligible Associates earn a right (but not obligation) to exercise the vested units within the limited period as may be determined and obtain equity shares of the Company subject to payment of grant price and satisfaction of any tax obligation arising thereon.

The Leadership, Nomination and Remuneration Committee (Compensation Committee) of the Company shall supervise and administer the Scheme. All questions of interpretation of the Scheme shall be determined by the Compensation Committee and such determination shall be final and binding upon all persons having an interest in the Scheme.

The authority being provided to the compensation committee is to cater to any exigencies and more in the nature of an enabler.

The rationale of the RSU scheme is to encourage senior associates to participate in the company's growth with a slightly longer term horizon and is predominantly based on the associates' choice of RSU participation in lieu of existing variable compensation outflows. This minimizes the impact to the company Profit and Loss Account.

Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, the scheme:

  • Entails associates opting to take a percentage of their current actual variable pay in the form of RSUs. The eligible percentages are 25% in Year 1 and 50% in Year 2 of the variable pay
  • Will cover associates in Level 13/Band G and above only (Less than 100 as of today)
  • Will result in enhanced leadership buy-in and alignment to Company's medium term results with minimal impact on Profit and Loss Account or dilution of equity for existing shareholders
  • Aligns the goals to the shareholders interest
  • Adds 25% of the value opted as an upside with a view to incentivise the associates' commitment and deferment of a short-term bonus into a long term incentive.

b) Total number of RSUs to be granted:

The total number of units to be granted under the Scheme shall not exceed 4,18,000 (Four Lakhs Eighteen Thousand only) units to the associates of the Company and 6,32,000 (Six Lakhs Thirty Two Thousand only) units to the associates of company's subsidiaries. Each unit when exercised would be converted into one Equity Share of Rs. 5 (Rupees Five only) each fully paid-up of the Company.

In case of any corporate action(s) / change in control, the Compensation Committee/Board, shall do the necessary adjustments at its sole discretion. However, in the event of adverse effect due to any 'Corporate Action' or 'Change in Control' on the Associates, the Compensation Committee or Board may choose either to continue with the scheme or may allow to cash out by immediate vesting, depending upon the adversity.

c) Identification of classes of Associates entitled to participate in the Scheme:

Associate means

  • (i) a permanent Associate of the Company working in India or out of India; or
  • (ii) Director of the Company whether whole-time or not, and

d) Requirements of vesting and period of vesting:

In case of death or permanent disability of Associate during the period of his service, then all units granted to him under the Scheme till such date shall vest in the legal heirs or nominees of the deceased eligible Associate or to himself subject to the provisions of SEBI Regulations and other applicable laws.

e) Maximum period within which the units shall be vested:

In doing so, the committee will be ably aided and assisted by the management. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, the scheme will cover associates in Level 13/Band G and above only (Less than 100 as of today)
