It also helps in creating ownership culture, and to retain, motivate and attract talents considering growing business.

With a view to motivate employees, seek their contribution to the corporate growth, to create an employee ownership culture, to attract new talents, to retain them for ensuring sustained growth, to reward for loyalty and to link interests

of employees with shareholders, it is thought expedient to implement performance-linked employee stock option scheme wherein employee stock option will be granted to the eligible employees with predefined mandatory performance conditions. Accordingly, the Company now proposes to come out with an Employee Stock Option Scheme to the eligible employees.

Based on the recommendation of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (NRC), the Board at their meeting held on Thursday, October 03, 2024, has approved the ‘Reliance Power Employee Stock Option Scheme 2024’ (“the Scheme”), subject to the approval of Members, to or for the benefit of the employees who are in the employment of the Company or group company(ies) including its subsidiaries, associates and holding company (present and future, if any) across all cadres and as eligible in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Share Based Employee Benefits and Sweat Equity) Regulations, 2021 (“SEBI (SBEB) Regulations”) (“Eligible Employees”), under the Scheme in accordance with the SEBI (SBEB) Regulations and other applicable laws.

Under the Scheme, the Eligible Employees shall be granted Stock Option which will be exercisable into equity shares of ` 10/- (Rupees Ten only) each of the Company. The Scheme shall be implemented by NRC which has been designated as ‘Compensation Committee’ in terms of the provisions of SEBI (SBEB) Regulations..

The Scheme shall be called as ‘Reliance Power Employee Stock Option Scheme 2024’. The Scheme contemplates grant of Stock Option to the employees of the Company and its group company(ies) including its subsidiaries, associates and holding company (present and future, if any).

After vesting of Option, the Eligible Employees earn a right, but not obligation, to exercise the vested Option within the exercise period and obtain equity shares of the Company subject to payment of exercise price and satisfaction of any tax obligation arising thereon and other terms and conditions of the Scheme. The NRC, acting as the Compensation Committee shall implement, administer and monitor the Scheme. All questions of interpretation of the Scheme shall be determined by NRC and such determination shall be final and binding upon all persons having an interest in the Scheme.

The Option to be granted under the Scheme shall not be treated as an offer or invitation made to public for subscription of securities of the Company.

b) Total number of Stock Option to be offered and granted

22,00,00,000 Options exercisable into an aggregate of 22,00,00,000 Equity Shares in the Company of face value of ` 10/- each fully paid-up, would be available for grant to the, Eligible Employees in one or more tranches.

The new Equity Shares to be issued and allotted by the Company to the Eligible Employee under the Scheme shall rank pari passu in all respects with the then existing Equity Shares of the Company and the Equity shares to be allotted shall be listed on the stock exchanges where the existing equity shares of the Company are listed, subject to the receipt of necessary regulatory permissions and approvals

In case of any corporate action(s) such as rights issue, bonus issue, merger, demerger, sale of division, expansion of capital, change in capital structure and others, if any including preferential allotment of shares or qualified institutions placement, additional Stock Option of the Company are to be issued to the Employees for the purpose of making a fair and reasonable adjustment to the Stock Option issued to them, the above ceiling in terms of number of equity shares shall be deemed to be increased in proportion to the additional equity shares issued in the aforesaid corporate action(s).

In case the equity shares of the Company are either consolidated or sub-divided, then the number of Equity shares to be issued by the Company and the price of acquisition payable by the Stock Option grantees under the Scheme shall automatically stand augmented or reduced, as the case may be, in the same proportion as the present face value of ` 10 (Rupees Ten only) per equity share shall bear to the revised face value of the equity shares of the Company after such consolidation or sub-division, without affecting any other rights or obligations of the said grantees and the ceiling in terms of number of shares specified above shall be deemed to be adjusted accordingly.

Once granted, the Exercise Price of the Option may be varied by NRC to account for any rights issues, mergers, stock splits, bonus issue or share consolidations etc.

The said statement is not applicable to the Company since the Company is opting for the Fair Value Method.

t) The specified time period within which the employee shall exercise the vested option in the event of a proposed termination of employment or resignation of employee and the conditions under which option vested in employees may lapse
