EXPLANATORY STATEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 102 OF THE COMPANIES ACT, 2013

In terms of the provisions of Section 102 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the Act), Secretarial Standard on General Meetings (SS-2) and the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (SEBI Listing Regulations), the following statement sets out the material facts relating to Agenda items as set out in this Notice.

Item No. 1

The Board of Directors of the Company at its meeting held on February 18, 2020, had approved the ‘Quess Stock Ownership Plan 2020’ (‘QSOP 2020’). The said Plan was effective from the date of shareholders’ approval i.e. March 31, 2020.

The QSOP 2020 was introduced to:

(i) strengthen alignment between value creation for the Company’s shareholders and long-term wealth creation for employees in the leadership role;

(ii) attract, reward and retain top talent in the Company and its Subsidiary Company(ies) in key leadership roles, through a promise of significant wealth creation opportunity over a 6 (six) year period, linked to the individual and Company performance, thereby catching up to market norms on overall compensation;

(iii) build a mutually rewarding partnership for Employees in the leadership role and ensure ‘skin in the game’ for higher performance, thereby ensuring continuity and predictability of the organization performance and protection of shareholders’ interests.

As per Clause 15 of the QSOP 2020, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee (hereinafter referred to as ‘Committee’) may at its sole discretion, revise any of the terms and conditions in respect of existing or any new Grant of Options, provided that the variation is not prejudicial to the interest of the Employees.

Further, it states that the Options not Vested due to non-fulfilment of the Vesting Conditions, Vested Options which the Grantees have expressly refused to Exercise, Options (Vested and not Exercised and Unvested) which have been surrendered and any Options Granted but not Vested or Exercised within the stipulated time due to any reasons, shall lapse and these Options or the underlying equity shares will be available for grant by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee to any Employee(s) as it may deem fit in its absolute discretion, whether under the present Scheme QSOP 2020 or any amendment thereto or under a new scheme, as a fresh grant, subject to compliance with the provisions of the Applicable Law.

The shareholders of the Company had approved an aggregate of 36,50,000 (Thirty-Six Lakhs Fifty Thousand) Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) to grant under the QSOP 2020, exercisable not more than 36,50,000 (Thirty-Six Lakhs Fifty Thousand) equity shares of the face value of ₹ 10/- (Rupees Ten) each fully paid-up. Over the course of its operation, 18,27,032 (Eighteen Lakhs Twenty-Seven Thousand and Thirty-Two) RSUs have been granted to the eligible employees. Out of which 14,45,730 RSUs have been exercised and allotted to the employees, and the balance 3,81,302 RSUs are to be vested and exercised by the eligible employees in due course of time as per the QSOP 2020. The remaining 18,22,968 (Eighteen Lakhs Twenty-Two Thousand Nine Hundred and Sixty-Eight) RSUs are unallocated and proposed for the re-deployment from QSOP 2020 to QSOP 2026.

11 | P a g e

It is now proposed that the QSOP 2020 shall be limited to 18,27,032 (Eighteen Lakhs Twenty-Seven Thousand and Thirty-Two) RSUs by re-deployment of 18,22,968 (Eighteen Lakhs Twenty-Two Thousand Nine Hundred and Sixty-Eight) RSUs under the proposed Quess Stock Ownership Plan 2020 (‘QSOP 2026’ or ‘the Plan’) by way of amendment in the QSOP 2020. It is proposed that the objective of the Company is met under the proposed plan QSOP 2026. Hence, it is sought to have the ungranted and unvested number of Options, and equal number of underlying equity shares, reduced from the total number available for grant under the QSOP 2020 and have a total number of Options and equity shares under the QSOP 2020 post amendment be 18,27,032 (Eighteen Lakhs Twenty-Seven Thousand and Thirty Two) RSUs, each exercisable into one equity share having face value of ₹ 10 each fully paid up. No change in terms of existing RSUs granted to employees is sought under the QSOP 2020, and such amendment shall only be brought into effect for RSUs, and an equal number of shares, not granted or lapsed as on the date.

Given the nature of the proposed amendment, it is not detrimental to the interests of the existing option grantee and is to give greater benefit to the Company.

Accordingly, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee (‘Remuneration Committee’) and the Board of Directors of the Company, at their respective meetings held on February 23, 2026, and March 16, 2026, have approved the aforesaid amendments by way of reduction of the aggregated number of RSUs and equity shares under the QSOP 2020.

The foregoing amendments, being a variation in the total number of Options and equity shares, needs prior approval of the shareholders of the Company by way of special resolution, for effecting such amendments under the provisions of Regulation 7 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Share Based Employee Benefits and Sweat Equity) Regulations, 2021 read with Section 62(1)(b) of the Companies Act, 2013.

None of the director(s) and Key Managerial Personnel(s) or their relatives, are in any way, concerned or interested, financially or otherwise, in this resolution except to the extent of equity shares held by them in the Company or the RSUs to be granted under the Plan.

The Board recommends the resolution set out at Item No. 1 of this Postal Ballot Notice for the approval of the Members as a Special Resolution.

Item No. 2, 3 and 4:

The Company has in place the Quess Stock Ownership Plan 2020 (‘QSOP 2020’), which was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on February 18, 2020. The Plan was effective from the date of shareholders’ approval i.e. March 31, 2020. The Plan was introduced to attract, reward and retain top talent in the Company, its Subsidiary and/or Associate Company(ies) (where the Company has management and Board control) in key leadership roles, through a promise of significant wealth creation opportunity over a 6 (six) year period, linked to the individual and Company performance, thereby catching up to market norms on overall compensation. The Plan was designed to build a mutually rewarding partnership for Employees in the leadership role and ensure ‘skin in the game’ for higher performance, thereby ensuring continuity and predictability of the organisation's performance and protection of shareholders’ interests.

12 | P a g e

In order to continue to meet the above objective, and based on the recommendation of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, the Board at its meeting held on March 16, 2026, agreed to introduce ‘Quess Stock Ownership Plan 2026’ (hereinafter referred to as ‘QSOP 2026’ or ‘the Plan’).

The QSOP 2026 is designed to drive performance towards achieving common goals and delivering on key initiatives measured through Revenue, Profits, Cashflow and Shareholder Value Creation.

In terms of the provisions of Securities and Exchange Board of India (Share Based Employee Benefits and Sweat Equity) Regulations, 2021 (SEBI SBEB & SE Regulations) and Section 62 and other applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 (the Act), issue of shares to employees under a scheme of employees stock options, requires an approval of the Members by way of a special resolution and accordingly, the special resolution at Item No. 2 seeks your approval for the issue of further equity shares, under the Plan, to the employees of the Company, as may be determined by the Board of the Company.

The Plan shall be implemented through a trust route wherein the Company may issue shares to the trust by way of fresh allotment over a period of time or the trust may acquire the equity shares of the Company through market acquisition, in one or more tranches, over a period of time, for the purpose of implementation of the Plan. The Plan will be administered by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Committee’) of the Company. The Committee shall delegate its power to the trust to the extent it deems fit for proper administration of the Plan.

Further, as per Regulation 6(3)(c) of SEBI SBEB & SE Regulations, approval of the shareholders by way of separate special resolution is also required for the grant of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) to the employees of subsidiary and/or associate company(ies), hence the special resolution at Item No. 3 seeks your approval for the said purpose.

Further, as per Regulation 6(3)(a) of SEBI SBEB & SE Regulations, approval of the shareholders by way of separate special resolution is also required for secondary acquisition for implementation of schemes, hence the special resolution at Item No. 4 seeks your approval for the said purpose.

After vesting of RSUs/ Options, the eligible employees earn the right (but not obligation) to exercise the vested RSUs/ Options within the exercise period and obtain equity shares of the Company, subject to payment of the exercise amount and applicable tax obligation arising thereon.
