EXPLANATORY STATEMENT PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 102 OF THE COMPANIES

ACT, 2013.

Item No. 1 of Special Business

In 2016, eMudhra Limited (“Company”) implemented the eMudhra Employees Stock Op�on Scheme 2016 (“ESOP”). Under the scheme, eMudhra Employee Stock Op�on Trust (Trust) has been created and 61,32,801 number of equity shares of Rs. 5 each has been allo�ed to the trust for the benefit of the employees. Of these 61,32,801 numbers of equity shares, ESOPs in respect of 1,12,500 shares have been exercised and 54,16,500 op�ons are granted and outstanding. Thus, there is a balance of 6,03,801 op�ons available for grant as on March 31, 2022.

The scheme has been amended from �me to �me and has been amended in the Extra-Ordinary General Mee�ng held on October 26, 2021 to comply with SEBI guidelines prior to our lis�ng. Further, M/s. KP Corporate Solu�ons Limited has been appointed as trustee for the employee stock op�on trust.
