The following statement sets out all the material facts relating to the businesses mentioned under Resolution Nos.1 and 2 of the accompanying Notice along with the disclosures as required under Regulation 6(2) of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Share Based Employee Benefits and Sweat Equity) Regulations, 2021 (‘SBEB Regulations’).

Item Nos. 1 & 2

The Company believes that equity-based compensation Scheme are an effective tool to reward the talents working with the Company. Further, equity-based compensation is considered to be an integral part of employee compensation across sectors, which enables alignment of the rewards with the long-term value creation for the shareholders. Further, it helps in creating ownership culture, and to retain, motivate and attract talents in light of growing business.

The Company is currently witnessing growing market opportunities, business growth including addressing of business competitions which has resulted in consistent demand for talents for critical roles. Apart from this, emergence of new skillsets relevant for the Company’s growing business has resulted in changed dynamics of the talent market. This has necessitated in bringing out a meaningful reward strategy for attraction of new talents and retention of both existing and new critical resources in leadership positions, or holding critical roles as required in businesses.

In view of the above and in order to enable the employees (including that of subsidiaries and associates, if any) to participate in the long-term growth and financial success of the Company, the Company proposes to implement a “Goldiam ESOP Scheme 2024” (‘the Scheme’), however, the criteria to select employees for grant would be determined by the Nomination & Remuneration Committee (Committee) based on factors such as length of service, grade, individual performance ratings over past few years, present contribution, potential contribution, conduct, etc. as it may deem relevant.

Accordingly, the Nomination & Remuneration Committee and the Board of Directors of the Company at their respective meetings held on February 8, 2024, had approved the Scheme 2024, subject to approval of the Shareholders.

Accordingly, the approval of shareholders is being sought for implementation of “Goldiam ESOP Scheme 2024” to the eligible employees of the Company and its subsidiaries and associates, if any, as per the terms of the Scheme.

In terms of Section 62(1)(b) of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Rule 12 of the Companies (Share Capital and Debentures) Rules, 2014, Regulation 6(2) of the SBEBSE Regulations, the salient features of the Scheme are given as under:
