Explanatory Statement

(Pursuant to Section 102 and Section 110 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with rules made thereunder)

Explanatory Statement in respect of Special Business Item No. 1 & 2

Equity based compensation is considered to be an integral part of employee compensation across sectors which enables alignment of personal goals of the employees with organizational objectives by participating in the ownership of the Company through share-based compensation scheme/plan. Your Company believes in rewarding its employees, including directors of the Company as well as that of its subsidiary company(ies) for their continuous hard work, dedication and support, which has led the Company, its holding company and its subsidiary company(ies) on the growth path.

Further, as on the date of notice of postal ballot i.e. April 19, 2024, the Company currently has two ESOP Plans in place i.e. “Honasa Consumer Limited Employee Stock Options Plan 2018” and “Honasa Consumer Limited Employee Stock Options Plan 2021” and the ESOP Pool is common under both these ESOP Plans of the Company.

The overall ESOP Pool under both the ESOP (i.e. ESOP 2018 and ESOP 2021), on the date of adoption of ESOP 2018 Plan i.e. August 02, 2018 or any other ESOP plan that may be adopted by the Company in future, was fixed 1,000 options and against each vested options one equity shares of the Company will be allotted. Further, on May 11, 2022, the Company had issued and allotted bonus shares to the equity shares holders of the Company in the ratio of 1:12899 and therefore the original ESOP Pool of 1000 was also accordingly adjusted in the bonus issue ratio and the total ESOP Plan was adjusted to 1,29,00,000 options (pursuant to bonus issue adjustment).

Pursuant to the resolution of the Board passed on August 02, 2018, and members resolution passed at Extraordinary General Meeting dated August 13, 2018, the Company had adopted the Honasa Consumer Limited Employees Stock Option Plan - 2018” (herein after referred as “ESOP 2018”) for the benefit of the eligible employees of the Company and its Subsidiary Companies and further amended by members through Extra-Ordinary General Meeting dated December 17, 2022 and ratified by way of postal ballot notice dated December 22, 2023 post IPO of the Company.

In terms of Regulation 12 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Share Based Employee Benefits and Sweat Equity) Regulations, 2021 ( “SEBI SBEB & SE Regulations” ), no company shall make any fresh grant of ESOPs which involves allotment or transfer of shares to its employees under any ESOP formulated prior to its Initial Public Offer ( “IPO” ) and prior to the listing of its equity shares (PreIPO Scheme) unless (i) such pre-IPO scheme is in conformity with SEBI SBEB & SE Regulations; and (ii) such pre-IPO scheme is ratified by its members subsequent to IPO. Considering, that the Company came out with a Public Issue of its equity shares and listed at BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited with effect from November 07, 2023, accordingly, the Company’s ESOP 2018 is required to be ratified by the members of the Company pursuant to Regulation 12 of the SEBI SBEB & SE Regulations for making any fresh grant of ESOPs under this Plan. Accordingly, same is referred to the members for their ratification in terms of Regulation 12 and other applicable provisions of the
