EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
Pursuant to Section 102(1) of the Companies Act , 2013 read with Rule 22 of the Companies (Management and Administration) Rules, 2014 and Additional Information as required under the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements), Regulations, 2015 and Circulars issued thereunder.
Item No. 1
The Company implemented the “Exicom Tele-Systems Limited- Employees Stock Option Scheme 2023” (“Scheme” or “ETSL ESOP 2023”), with the approval of the shareholders of the Company by way of a special resolution on September 16, 2023 i.e. before the IPO of the Company, to attract, retain, motivate and reward the key talents working with the Company. The Company had also taken the approval of the shareholders of the Company on the same date to extend the benefits of ETSL ESOP 2023 to the employees of its subsidiary company(ies). Thereafter, the ETSL ESOP 2023 has been ratified and amended by the shareholders in the Annual General Meeting of the Company held on September 27, 2024, in compliance with Securities and Exchange Board of India (Share Based Employee Benefits and Sweat Equity) Regulations, 2021 (hereinafter “SEBI (SBEB & SE) Regulations”). The in-principle approval was obtained from National Stock Exchange of India Limited (‘NSE’) on October 18, 2024 and BSE Limited (‘BSE’) on October 22, 2024.
The Scheme initially approved by 48,62,960 (Forty Eight Lakhs Sixty Two Thousand Nine Hundred Sixty only) Employee Stock Options (“Options”), entitling grantees to exercise an equivalent number of equity shares of ₹ 10/- (Rupees Ten only) each. Out of these, 9,99,151 (Nine Lakhs Ninety Nine Thousand One Hundred Fifty One) Options were granted to the eligible employees under the ETSL ESOP 2023. Further, over course of its operation, out of the granted Options, 1,79,924 (One Lakh Seventy Nine Thousand Nine Hundred Twenty Four) Options have been lapsed and added back to the pool along with the 38,63,809 (Thirty Eight Lakhs Sixty Three Thousand Eight hundred and Nine) ungranted Options as per the ETSL ESOP 2023. As on the date of this notice, 40,43,733 (Forty Lakhs Forty Three Thousand Seven Hundred Thirty Three) Options remain ungranted and unvested under ETSL ESOP 2023.
As per Clause 26 of the ETSL ESOP 2023, the Nomination Remuneration and Compensation Committee (“Compensation Committee”) has the right to modify /amend the Scheme in such manner and at such time or times as it may deem fit, provided that any such amendment shall not be detrimental to the interest of the Grantees/Employees.
To ensure a structured and targeted equity incentive framework, it is now proposed to:
-
Re-deploy/reallocate the 40,43,733 (Forty Lakhs Forty Three Thousand Seven Hundred Thirty Three) Ungranted Options to the Exicom Tele-Systems Limited- Employees Stock Option 2025 (“ETSL ESOP 2025”), subject to the approval of the shareholders and
-
Reduce the total number of Options under ETSL ESOP 2023 to 8,19,227 (Eight Lakhs Nineteen Thousand Two Hundred Twenty Seven) Options.

This decision is taken in line with best corporate governance practices and ensures that the dilution impact is strategically managed.
Further, there is no impact on existing Option holders i.e. no change in terms and conditions of existing Options granted and vested or to be vested, to eligible employees is sought under the ETSL ESOP 2023 and the proposed amendment shall only be brought into effect for Options, and equal number of shares, not granted or lapsed as on date and therefore clause 6.2 under the ETSL ESOP 2023, will be amended and read as follows:
“If any Option Granted under the ETSL ESOP 2023 lapses or is forfeited or surrendered under any provision of the ETSL ESOP 2023, such Option will not be added back to the pool and shall not be available for further Grant under the ETSL ESOP 2023 unless otherwise determined by the Committee, in accordance with Applicable Law.”
Upon implementation of this amendment:
-
The maximum dilution due to amendment in ETSL ESOP 2023 will be limited to 8,19,227 (Eight Lakhs Nineteen Thousand Two Hundred Twenty Seven) equity shares.
-
The newly introduced ETSL ESOP 2025 will separately define its allocation to align with business needs.
-
There is no retrospective impact on granted or vested Options under ETSL ESOP 2023.
This amendment is in compliance with Regulation 7 of SEBI (SBEB & SE) Regulations, which requires shareholders approval for modifying the scheme that alters the total pool size.
The proposed amendment does not introduce any additional dilution beyond previously approved ESOP limits, ensuring transparency and fairness.
The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors of the Company (“Board”) approved these amendments in their respective meetings held on February 5, 2025 and now seek shareholders approval pursuant to SEBI (SBEB & SE) Regulations, via Special Resolution.
None of the Promoters and Independent Directors of the Company and their relatives are concerned or interested, financially or otherwise in the Resolution stated at Item No. 1.
Other Directors and Key Managerial Personnel(s) may be deemed to be interested in the above resolutions to the extent of their respective shareholding in the Company and number of Stock Options which have been granted to them, if any, pursuant to implementation of the ETSL ESOP 2023.
The Board recommends the Special Resolution set out at Item No. 1 of the accompanying Notice for approval by the Members.

Item No. 2 and 3
In today's competitive talent market, ESOPs have become an essential tool for attracting top external talent and retaining high-performing employees. Many recruits from other organizations expect similar benefits. Recognizing the increasing importance of equity-based incentives, Exicom TeleSystems Limited (the "Company") is introducing the Exicom Tele-Systems Limited Employees Stock Option Scheme 2025 ("ETSL ESOP 2025" or "Scheme"). This new Scheme aims to enhance employee participation, strengthen alignment with organizational objectives, and maintain competitiveness against industry peers.
The introduction of ETSL ESOP 2025 is based on comprehensive review by the Nomination, Remuneration and Compensation Committee (“Compensation Committee”), which recommended the Scheme in its meeting held on February 5, 2025, and subsequently approved by the Board of Directors (“Board”) in their meeting held on the same date, seeking to cover eligible employees which deem to include Directors of the Company and its Subsidiary Company (ies) under the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Share Based Employee Benefits and Sweat Equity) Regulations, 2021 (herein after “SEBI (SBEB & SE) Regulations”).
Given that Companies in the similar business also offer ESOPs, the Company believes that its existing ETSL ESOP 2023 may not be sufficiently competitive. As stated in item no. 1, the new Scheme redeploys 40,43,733 (Forty Lakhs Forty Three Thousand Seven Hundred Thirty Three) Options, representing approximately 3.34% of the current paid-up equity capital as on the date of this Notice, thereby maintaining the overall ESOP allocation at 4.02% of the total paid-up share capital when combined with ETSL ESOP 2023.
The ETSL ESOP 2025 will be administered by the Compensation Committee constituted pursuant to the provisions of Section 178 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the “Act”).
Pursuant to Regulation 6 of the SEBI (SBEB & SE) Regulations read with Section 62(1)(b) of the Act, the Company seeks the approval of the members to approve ETSL ESOP 2025 and its implementation and the grant of Options to the eligible employees of the Company and its Subsidiary Company(ies), whether incorporated in India or outside India, as decided from time to time, as per the provisions of the ETSL ESOP 2025 read with the provisions of SEBI (SBEB & SE) Regulations.
The salient features, relevant disclosures and key details of the ETSL ESOP 2025 are set out as below:
a) Brief description of the ETSL ESOP 2025:
The objective of the ETSL ESOP 2025 is to attract, retain, motivate, and reward the eligible employees for their association, dedication, and contribution to the goals of the Company and to catapult the quality of life of hard working, high performing, honest and loyal employees, and their families. The Company views Employee Stock Options (“Options”) as a long‐term incentive tool that would enable the employees not only to become co‐owners, but also to create wealth out of such ownership in future thereby bringing a sense of association with the Company and its growth.
