The details required in the explanatory statement for the provision of such money/ providing financial assistance, under Section 67 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Rule 16 of the Companies (Share Capital and Debentures) Rules, 2014, as amended, are as follows:

  1. The class of employees for whose benefit the Plan is being implemented and money is being provided for purchase of or subscription to shares:

The class of employees who are beneficiaries under the Plan and as specifically stated in Clause 3 above (explanatory statement). The details regarding implementation of the Plan and money being provided are stated in Clause 13 above.

  1. The particulars of the trustee in whose favor such shares are to be registered;

Not applicable, as the Plan is directly being implemented by the Company (and not through the trust route).

  1. The particulars of trust and name, address, occupation and nationality of trustees and their relationship with the promoters / promoter group, directors or key managerial personnel;

Not applicable, as the Plan is directly being implemented by the Company (and not through the trust route).

4. Any interest of key managerial personnel, directors or promoters in the Plan or trust and effect thereof:

None of the key managerial personnel, directors and promoters are interested in the Plan except to the extent of Options/ RSUs as may be granted to them and to the extent of their shareholding of the Company.

5. The detailed particulars of benefits which will accrue to the employees from the implementation of the Plan:

The Company shall make provision of money by way of loan or any other financial assistance to the employees which shall be utilized by the employees for the purpose of payment of exercise price and purchase of equity shares of the Company. Upon exercise of Options/ RSUs, the eligible employees, will be entitled to receive equity shares of the Company, in accordance with the Plan, subject to the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013, SBEB & SE Regulations and such other laws as may be applicable.

6. Details about who would exercise the voting rights and how in respect of the shares to be purchased under the Plan would be exercised:

Employees who become shareholders of the Company upon exercise of the vested shares shall be entitled to exercise the voting rights independently.

The rationale for extending the options/ RSUs to employees of the group companies (including the subsidiary and/ or associate company) is to ensure uniformity and consistency in the

22

employee benefits schemes across the group and to promote a sense of belonging and loyalty among the employees of different entities.

As the Company’s equity shares are listed on stock exchanges in India and are currently frequently traded on the leading stock exchanges in India, it intends to synergies the benefits across the group to incentivize the employees at group level along with aligning their interest with the success of the Company and attract and retain talent across the globe.

In addition to the above, as per Regulation 26(6) of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (“ SEBI LODR Regulations ”), no employee including key managerial personnel or director or promoter of a listed entity shall enter into any agreement for himself/ herself or on behalf of any other person, with any shareholder or any other third party with regard to compensation or profit sharing in connection with dealings in the securities of such listed entity, unless prior approval for the same has been obtained from the Board of Directors as well as public shareholders by way of an ordinary resolution.

The Plan is proposed to be adopted by the Company and there is no agreement directly between (i) the employees, key managerial personnel or promoter and (ii) any shareholder or any other party and therefore the requirement of Regulation 26(6) of SEBI LODR Regulations is not directly applicable. However, as the vesting and exercise of some of the options/ RSUs may be subject to the majority shareholder exit linked conditions, the Company proposes to adopt the Plan only if a majority of the public shareholders voting have approved the Plan. One of the other objects of the Plan is to reward key employees of the Company and its group companies (including subsidiaries/associate companies) for their performance and their contribution in delivering strong returns and creating value with respect to the investments made by the promoter in the Company and to incentivize them in the future growth and profitability of the Company.

The draft copies of the Plan are made available at the registered office of the Company for inspection or can be inspected electronically by any shareholder during the voting period by witting an e-mail at [email protected].

The Board recommends the resolutions set out in Item Nos. 1 and 2 of the Notice, for the approval of the members by means of special resolutions.

The Directors (excluding Independent Directors) or Key Managerial Personnel of the Company, may be deemed to be concerned or interested in the Resolution to the extent of the Options/ RSUs which may be granted to them under the Plan.
