He will be completing his first term of appointment as an Independent Director on January 27, 2026 and is eligible for re-appointment for another term of five consecutive years.

The Company had received notice from a Member under Section 160 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”), proposing the re-appointment of Mr. Mark D. McDade as an Independent Director.

Mr. Mark D. McDade has consented to act as an Independent Director and confirmed that (i) he is neither disqualified under Section 164(1) & (2) of the Act nor debarred to hold the office of a Director by virtue of any order passed by Securities and Exchange Board of India (“SEBI”) or any other authority; (ii) he meets the criteria of independence as provided under Section 149(6) of the Act and Regulation 16(1)(b) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (“SEBI Listing Regulations”) and he is eligible to be re-appointed as an Independent Director of the Company; (iii) he is not aware of any circumstance or situation, which exist or may be reasonably anticipated, that could impair or impact his ability to discharge his duties with an objective independent judgment and without any external influence; and (iv) he has registered himself on the data bank of Independent Directors maintained by the Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs and is exempted from passing the online proficiency self-assessment test.

Based on the performance evaluation, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee (“NRC”) recommended the re-appointment of Mr. Mark D. McDade after considering his vast experience, expertise, understanding of the Company’s business and skills possessed in the areas of Corporate Governance, Leadership & General Management, Healthcare Pharma/Science & Technology, Manufacturing, Quality & Supply chain, Risk Management, ESG, Information Technology and Mergers & Acquisition. These areas of skills have been identified by the Company as relevant for its operations. Accordingly, the Board based on the recommendation of the NRC, approved his re-appointment as an Independent Director for a second term of five consecutive years commencing from January 28, 2026 to January 27, 2031.

Pursuant to Regulation 17(1A) of the SEBI Listing Regulations, no listed entity shall appoint a person or continue the directorship of any person as a Non-Executive Director who has attained the age of seventy-five years unless a special resolution is passed to that effect. During the tenure of second term, Mr. Mark D. McDade will be attaining the age of 75 years in May 2030. Accordingly, approval of Members is also being sought for the same by way of Special Resolution in terms of Regulation 17(1A) of the SEBI Listing Regulations.

The Members may note that there was no change in Fixed CTC for a period of 5 years, and altogether there was a growth in the Fixed CTC of Mr. Nilesh D. Gupta from ₹70,021,060/- in 2018 to ₹84,697,476/- in 2025, translating into an annual increase of 2-3% over a period of seven years, well below the inflation rate.

The Members may also note that due to external headwinds faced by the Company in the past, Mr. Nilesh D. Gupta, volunteered for a Fixed CTC pay reduction of 50% for the period May 01, 2022 to June 30, 2023, as against Fixed CTC approved by the Members at the 36[th] AGM of the Company held in 2018.

c. Peer Benchmarking

Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu India LLP (“Deloitte”) has carried out a peer benchmarking analysis in July 2025. The benchmarking compared the remuneration of MD/CEOs of India headquartered pharmaceutical companies whose operations are comparable in scale and scope to Lupin (these include Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Glenmark, Zydus, Torrent, Alkem, Cipla, Jubilant etc.). The Members may note that the Fixed CTC of Mr. Nilesh D. Gupta is significantly lower (in the bottom 20% of the market range) when compared with the Fixed CTC of incumbents across these companies. Further, considering historical annual performance incentive patterns, the total remuneration (Fixed CTC plus performance incentive) of Mr. Nilesh D. Gupta is also one of the lowest amongst the peers considered (in the bottom 10% of the market range).

In view of the above, considering his performance, responsibilities being shouldered, valuable contributions in the growth of the Company, directorships held in the Indian subsidiary companies and based on peer benchmarking carried out by Deloitte, the recommendation of the NRC and approval of the Audit Committee, the Board of Directors at its meeting held on August 05, 2025, subject to the approval of the Members, approved the revision in remuneration payable to Mr. Nilesh D. Gupta with effect from October 01, 2025, till the remaining tenure of his term up to August 31, 2028, as follows:

A. Remuneration:

i. Salary and Allowances:

  • a) Basic Salary of ₹72,000,000/- per annum; and

  • b) Other Allowances and Flexi benefits of ₹25,096,800/- per annum. Other Allowances and Flexi Benefits include Management Allowance and Leave Travel Allowance.

ii. Retirals:

Contribution towards Provident Fund (12% of Basic Salary), Superannuation Fund (15% of Basic Salary) and Gratuity as per the policy of the Company.

  • a) Leave with full pay encashment as per the rules of the Company.

  • b) Mediclaim, accident and life insurance coverage as per the rules of the Company.

  • c) The aggregate remuneration as specified above, in any financial year, shall not exceed the overall ceiling stipulated under Section 197 and Schedule V of the Act and provisions of the SEBI Listing Regulations including any amendments and re-enactment thereof as may from time to time be in force.

In the event the Company has no profits or its profits are inadequate, the Company may subject to receipt of the requisite approvals, if required, pay him the above remuneration as the minimum remuneration by way of salary, allowances, retirals, perquisites, annual performance incentive and other benefits as specified herein above or as further last revised by the Board and/or NRC from time to time, in compliance with provisions of Schedule V of the Act.

All other terms and conditions of his appointment, as approved by the Members at the AGM held on August 03, 2023, shall remain unchanged for the remaining tenure of his appointment up to August 31, 2028.

The Board is of the opinion that the proposed revision in remuneration of Mr. Nilesh D.
