EXPLANATORY STATEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 102 OF THE COMPANIES ACT, 2013
Item No. 1
The Company had introduced the Employee Stock Scheme/Plan 2015 (“the Scheme 2015”) with effect from July 17, 2015 to reward the employees for their association with the Company and their performance as well as to motivate them to contribute to the growth and profitability of the Company.
In terms of the provisions of the Scheme as amended on October 25, 2018, the Company is authorised to provide loan(s) upto Rs. 1,500 Million (Rupees Fifteen Hundred Million Only) to Employee Welfare Trust (“Trust”) for purchase/acquisition of shares from the secondary market in one or more tranche(s). The said limit of Rs. 1,500 Million (Rupees Fifteen Hundred Million Only) has been utilised by the Trust. Owing to the significant increase in Company’s share price over the past few years and the longer duration of the 2015 Scheme, there is a shortfall of funds in the Trust to acquire shares for the employees exercising their options under the ESOP Scheme 2015. Hence, additional funding is proposed.
Therefore, pursuant to the recommendation of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the amendment to the Scheme by way of a resolution passed by circulation on April 12, 2024 for increasing the aforementioned limits for providing loan(s) to the Trust upto Rs. 2,800 Million (Rupees Twenty-Eight Hundred Million Only), subject to the approval of the Members.
