Rationale for the variation of the ESOP Scheme:
-

The revised ESOP Plan would help the Company in incentivizing, hiring and retaining the critical human resources to meet the emerging business requirements of the Company. The amended Jubilant Pharmova Employees Stock Option Plan is also in alignment with the provisions of the SEBI ESOP Regulations 2021.
-
(ii) The proposed amendments also contain certain editorial changes.
-
(iii) The proposed amendments are not detrimental to the interests of the current grantees of the Company.
Details of the employees who are beneficiaries of such variation:
All eligible employees to whom the Options have been granted or will be granted under the ESOP Scheme would benefit from such variation.
The Plan shall continue to cover the Eligible Employees of the Subsidiary Companies of the Company which would require approval of the Shareholders of the Company in terms of Regulation 6(3) of the SEBI ESOP Regulations 2021 and applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.
