Explanatory Statement pursuant to Sections 102 and 110 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with the Companies (Management and Administration) Rules, 2014

Item No. 1 & 2

Pine Labs Limited (“Company”) values employees who are committed to building a successful organization and in order to incentivize, induce, reward and motivate the employees to contribute effectively towards the future growth and profitability of the Company. The Board of Directors of the Company (“Board” which expression shall also include the nomination and remuneration committee of the Company (“NRC”), which also acts as the Compensation Committee, in line with the SEBI (SBEB & SE) Regulations) at its meeting held on June 17, 2025, had recommended/ approved, Pine Labs Employee Stock Option Plan 2025 (“ESOP Scheme”) in terms of the Companies Act, 2013 (“Act”) and the applicable provisions of Companies (Share Capital and Debentures) Rules, 2014 (“Rules”) and Securities and Exchange Board of India (Share Based Employee Benefits and Sweat Equity) Regulations, 2021 (“SEBI (SBEB & SE) Regulations”). The same has been approved by the members by passing the special resolution at the Extra-ordinary General Meeting held on June 24, 2025.

Subsequent to listing of equity shares of the Company on BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited (collectively referred to as “Stock Exchange”), the Board vide resolution dated December 17, 2025, subject to the approval of the members, has approved the proposal for ratification of ESOP Scheme.

Further, based on the approval of the Board on December 17, 2025, and subject to the approval of the Members, certain amendments are proposed to be made to ESOP Scheme.

In terms of Regulation 12(1) of Securities and Exchange Board of India (Share Based Employee Benefits and Sweat Equity) Regulations, 2021 (“SEBI (SBEB & SE) Regulations”), no company is permitted to make any fresh grants which involves allotment or transfer of shares to its employees under an employee stock option plan formulated prior to listing of its shares unless such plan is in conformity with the SEBI (SBEB & SE) Regulations and is ratified by its members after the listing of the shares of the Company. Approval of the Members is being sought for ratification of the ESOP Scheme and the grant, issue, reissue, creation and allotment of employee stock options (“ESOPs”) to the eligible employees as determined by the NRC in accordance with the ESOP Scheme.

Further, as per proviso to Regulation 12(1) of SEBI (SBEB & SE) Regulations, the ratification under Regulation 12(1)(ii) may be done any time prior to grant of new options or shares under any such pre– listing schemes. As on 1[st] January 2026, out of the total pool of 10,20,98,072 ESOPs under ESOP Plan, only 1,57,79,088 ESOPs are available for further grants.

The Company had completed its initial public offer (“IPO”) of its equity shares, and the shares were listed on the Stock Exchanges on November 14, 2025. Therefore, the Pine Labs Employee Stock Option Plan 2025 (“ESOP Scheme”) is required to be approved and ratified by the members of the Company in terms of Regulation 12(1) of the SEBI (SBEB & SE) Regulations, prior to making any fresh grants under ESOP Scheme and accordingly, the same is recommended by the Board to the Members for ratification. The particulars as required under SEBI (SBEB &SE) Regulations are provided below. The NRC shall administer the ESOP Scheme in accordance with the applicable laws.

==> picture [446 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

Additionally, in terms of Regulation 6 of SEBI (SBEB & SE) Regulations, approval of the members by way of separate special resolution is also required for granting ESOPs to the eligible employees of holding companies, subsidiary companies or group companies (including associate companies and joint venture companies). Accordingly, as the Company had in the past granted and is desirous of granting ESOPs to the employees of its subsidiary companies, separate approval is proposed to be obtained from the Members of the Company by way of passing a special resolution.

The resolutions contained at Items No. 1 and 2 also seek to obtain the Members’ approval to authorize the Board to grant ESOPs, issue and allot equity shares upon exercise of ESOPs from time to time in accordance with the ESOP Scheme to the employees of the Company and its subsidiary company(ies) under the ESOP Scheme and undertake such action as may be necessary for the administration of the ESOPs.

Scheme.
  • b) Rationale for variation of the ESOP Scheme: The Company had completed its IPO of its equity shares, and the shares were listed on the Stock Exchanges on November 14, 2025. Therefore, the ESOP Scheme is required to be approved and ratified by the members of the Company in terms of Regulation 12(1) of the SEBI (SBEB & SE) Regulations, prior to making any fresh grants under ESOP Scheme and further certain amendments are proposed which are operational in nature.

  • c) Details of the employees who are beneficiaries of such variation: All the existing option holders and the future option holders under the ESOP Scheme starting from the date of approval of this ESOP Scheme by the shareholders and the date of in-principle approval by the Stock Exchanges. Additionally, the amendment will extend to and include the existing and new employees of the subsidiary companies of the Company as well, in the manner set out above.

As per the provisions of section 180(1)(a) of the Companies Act, 2013, a company shall not sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the whole or substantially whole of the undertaking of the Company or where the Company owns more than one undertaking, of the whole or substantially the whole of any such undertaking unless approval of members is obtained by way of special resolution.

In connection with the loan/credit facilities to be availed by the Company, as and when required from various sources for business purposes, the Company might be required to create charges on its assets by way of hypothecation, mortgage, lien, pledge etc. in favour of lenders up to the limit approved by the Board of Directors of the Company for securing the loan/credit facilities extended by them to the Company.

Further, upon occurrence of default under loan/facility agreements and other documents as may be executed by the Company with its lenders, the lenders would have certain rights in respect of the assets provided as security including right of sale/disposal and such enforcement of assets by lenders might amount to sale/disposal of whole or substantially whole of the undertaking under section 180(1)(a) of the Act.

In view of the borrowing limit of Rs. 1500/- Crore, as approved by the Board of Directors at its meeting held on September 2, 2025, the Board proposes to seek Members’ approval to mortgage, hypothecate, create charge provided that such mortgages, charges, and hypothecations at any time do not exceed Rs. 1500 Crore (Rupees Fifteen Hundred Crores Only).
