The following Explanatory Statement relating to the accompanying Postal Ballot Notice sets out all material facts in respect of the Resolution:

Item No. 1:

In line with L&T's overall vision to augment its presence in the Services business, and to strengthen the Board of the Company which has embarked on a strategic business transformation into a retail asset focused fintech at scale, based on the recommendation of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, the Board at its Meeting held on February 28, 2022, has appointed Mr. S.N. Subrahmanyan (DIN:02255382) as an Additional Director (Non-Executive Director) in accordance with the provisions of Section 161 of the Act and the Chairperson of the Board effective February 28, 2022.

In accordance with the requirements of Regulation 17(1C) of the SEBI Listing Regulations, approval of the Members of the Company is being sought, by way of Postal Ballot through E-Voting facility.

The Company has received a notice in writing from a Member of the Company under Section 160 of the Act proposing the candidature of Mr. Subrahmanyan for the office of the Director of the Company.

Mr. S.N. Subrahmanyan is the CEO & MD of Larsen & Toubro and serves on the Board of Directors of this multibillion dollar conglomerate.

SNS, as he is popularly known, is also Vice Chairman on the Boards of Larsen & Toubro Infotech Limited, L&T Technology Services Limited & Mindtree Limited and Chairman of L&T Metro Rail (Hyderabad) Limited.

Prior to taking over the reins as CEO & MD in July 2017, SNS in his capacity as Deputy MD & President led L&T's infrastructure business to its position as the country's largest construction organisation and 14th in the world. He is now responsible for leading the breadth and width of L&T's considerable business interests to new growth levels, riding on the enormous benefits of digitalisation, big data, and predictive analysis that he drives internally with exceptional zeal. He places a premium on innovation, project management and talent development, particularly in leadership roles.

Hailing from Chennai, India, SNS commenced his professional journey with L&T in 1984 as a project planning engineer armed with a degree in civil engineering and a post-graduation in business management. Mentored by stalwarts, he took on roles of increasing responsibility across business verticals. With an entrepreneurial mindset, drive, and foresight, he began to rewrite the rules of the game. He led L&T's foray into the realm of executing developmental projects starting with the extremely successful HITEC City project in Hyderabad and the Bangalore International Airport, forging deals in the process without precedent in the construction space. Successfully setting up the Ready Mix business in India for the first time, bagging mandates to design & build all major international airports in India, venturing into untapped geographies like the Middle East, Africa & ASEAN to establish L&T's credentials and presence. Building long-term relationships came easy to SNS.

Under his leadership, SNS has transformed L&T into a company that executes a wide range of projects at Speed & Scale and, in the process, builds the tallest, largest, longest, smartest, and most complex structures. L&T which is among the three Indian companies to feature in the top 46 Most Honoured Companies according to the New York-based B2B publication, Institutional Investor, was recognised as the Company of the Year by Business Standard, a business publication in 2020 and has featured on the Forbes list as one of the world's best employers.

SNS was ranked 11th in the Construction Week Power 100 Ranking for 2021, that had previously recognized him as the Infrastructure Person of the Year for 2012. In 2020, SNS was ranked as the Top CEO (Sell Side) and the 3rd Best CEO (Overall) in the All-Asia Executive Team Survey conducted by Institutional Investor and recognised as the CEO of the Year by the leading Indian news channel, CNBC-Awaaz. He has been conferred the Emergent CEO Award at the CEO Awards in 2019 for his exemplary leadership and for delivering seamless growth for L&T. He has also been accorded the Leading Engineering Personality award by the Institution of Engineers (India) in 2014.

SNS holds positions of pre-eminence on various industry bodies, construction institutions and councils.

In February 2021, he was appointed Chairman of the National Safety Council (NSC) for three years by the Union Ministry of Labour & Employment. In this role SNS will guide the NSC, which has a major part to play to ensure safety in workplaces under the new Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020 (OSH Code, 2020).

The Company has received a declaration from Mr. S.N. Subrahmanyan that he is not disqualified to be appointed as a Director under the Act.

The Board is of the view that the Company would greatly benefit from the skills, knowledge and rich experience of Mr. S.N. Subrahmanyan and accordingly, recommends the Resolution set forth in the Notice for approval of the Members.

Save and except Mr. S.N. Subrahmanyan, who is being appointed, none of the Directors, Key Managerial Personnel and their relatives, other than to the extent of their shareholding in the Company, are concerned / interested, financially or otherwise, in the said Resolution.
