Item No. 9
In the present competitive environment and in the long term interest of the Company and its shareholders, it is necessary that the Company adopt suitable measures for attracting and retaining qualified, talented and competent employees.

The Members had at the 27th Annual General Meeting held on 26th September, 2019, approved Marksans Employees Stock Option Scheme 2019. However, the said Scheme has not been implemented yet and therefore, as a measure of abundant precaution; the Board is seeking fresh approval of the Scheme under the title "Marksans Employees Stock Option Scheme 2020".
The Board, therefore, proposes to introduce, formulate and create Marksans Employees Stock Option Scheme 2020 ("Marksans ESOS 2020").

(ii) Number of options shall be adjusted due to any corporate action(s) such as rights issue, bonus issue, buy-back of shares, split, consolidation of shares, amalgamation, sale of undertaking, etc. of the Company.
-
(iii) Each option when exercised would give the option holder a right to get one fully paid equity share of %1 each face value of the Company.
- (iv) The options which will lapse, expire or be forfeited, will be available for further grant to the eligible employees.
- Implementation of Marksans ESOS 2020
