EXPLANATORY STATEMENT CONTAINING MATERIAL FACTS PURSUANT TO SECTION 102 OF THE COMPANIES ACT, 2013
Item No. 1 – To approve modification in STL Networks Limited – Employee Stock Option Scheme 2025 (“SNL ESOS 2025”/ “Scheme”)
The Company recognizes equity-based compensation as an effective tool for rewarding and retaining the talent within the Company or its subsidiary companies. Such schemes are widely regarded as an integral component of employee compensation across various sectors, as they facilitate alignment between employee rewards and the long-term value creation for shareholders. Additionally, equity compensation fosters an ownership culture, enhances the Company’s ability to attract and retain top talent, and motivates employees to drive the business forward and align employee interests with the Company’s long-term strategic goals and value creation.
In view to reward and retain the key talents in the leadership team of the Company and subsidiary company(ies) for their association and high performance as well as to motivate the work force seeking their contribution to the overall corporate growth and profitability of the Company an Employee Stock Option Scheme namely ‘STL Networks Limited – Employee Stock Option Scheme 2025’ (“SNL ESOS 2025” or “Scheme”) was implemented by the Company by passing members’ special resolution in the Annual General Meeting dated September 30, 2025.
The Management thought that the existing vesting conditions under the SNL ESOS 2025 require modification to align with the strategic objectives of employee retention and promotion of long-term association with the Company. By increasing the proportion of options that vest based on continued employment, the Company aims to enhance the long-term commitment of employees and recognize their continuous contribution to the organization’s success. Therefore, it is expedient to amend the scheme to modify the vesting conditions under the SNL ESOS 2025.
At the same time, retaining a portion of vesting linked to corporate performance ensures that employees remain aligned with the Company’s broader business goals and value creation for shareholders. The revised vesting mix therefore strikes a balanced approach between rewarding individual loyalty and acknowledging collective performance, fostering a stronger sense of ownership and long-term alignment between employees and the Company.
Given this background, it is proposed to amend the sub-clause 7.2 (B) (c) of the SNL ESOS 2025. The details of amendments in the Scheme are as below:
| Clause reference |
Existing clause | Proposed amended clause | Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clause 7.2 (c) |

By increasing the proportion of options that vest based on continued employment, the Company aims to enhance the long-term commitment of employees and recognize their continuous contribution to the organization’s success. Therefore, it is expedient to amend the scheme to modify the vesting conditions under the SNL ESOS 2025. At the same time, retaining a portion of vesting linked to corporate performance ensures that employees remain aligned with the Company’s broader businessgoals and value creation |

Further, the proposed amendment shall be applicable and effective on the entire pool of ungranted Options comprising 1,95,00,000 (One Crore Ninety-Five Lakhs) Options, under the SNL ESOS 2025.
Accordingly, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee (“Committee”) and the Board of Directors (“Board”) of the Company, at their respective meetings held on Friday, November 7, 2025 had approved the aforesaid proposed amendments, subject to the prior approval of the shareholders of the Company. As per the above rationale, the proposed amendments are not prejudicial to the interests of the employees. The beneficiaries of these amendments shall be the eligible employees who may be granted Options in future under the SNL ESOS 2025.
In this background, the Scheme is placed before the members for amendment in terms of the aforesaid SBEB Regulations after which your Company would be able to grant Options and issue Shares under the SNL ESOS 2025.
In terms of Section 62(1)(b) of the Companies Act, 2013 (the “ Act ”) and Rules made thereunder read with Regulation 6 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Share Based Employee Benefits and Sweat Equity) Regulations, 2021 (“ SBEB Regulations ”), features of the amended SNL ESOS 2025 are given as under:
a) Brief description of the Scheme:
The proposed scheme, SNL ESOS 2025, is designed to reward the eligible employees of the Company and its subsidiary company(ies) for their performance, and to encourage their continued contribution towards the Company’s growth and profitability. The Company also aims to leverage this Scheme as a talent retention tool, viewing stock options as a means for employees to share in the value they help create and to align their individual goals with the long-term objectives of the Company. Each stock option granted under SNL ESOS 2025 shall entitle the holder to convert it into one equity share of Company. After vesting of Options, the eligible employees earn a right (but not obligation) to exercise the vested Options 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. The eligible employees are expected to receive benefits based on their contribution to creating value for shareholders.
The SNL ESOS 2025 shall remain effective until (i) it is terminated by the Committee and/or the Board or (ii) the date on which all of the Stock Options available for issuance under the SNL ESOS 2025 have been issued and exercised, whichever is earlier.
b) Total number of options, shares or benefits, as the case may be, to be offered and granted

A maximum of 1,95,00,000 (One Crore Ninety Five Lacs) Stock Options (‘ESOP Pool’) may be offered and granted
under the SNL ESOS 2025 to the Eligible Employees of the Company and its subsidiary companies, which on exercise would entitle not more than 1,95,00,000 (One Crore Ninety Five Lacs) fully paid-up Equity Shares of the Company of ₹2/- (Rupees Two only) each. Further, SBEB Regulations require that in case of any corporate action(s) such as rights issue, bonus issue, merger, sale of division etc., a fair and reasonable adjustment need to be made to the Options granted. In this regard, the Committee shall adjust the number and price of the Options granted in such a manner that the total value of the Options granted under the Scheme remain the same after any such corporate action. Accordingly, if any additional Options are granted by the Company, for making such fair and reasonable adjustment, the ceiling of aforesaid shall be deemed to be increased to the extent of such additional Options granted.
If any Stock Options granted under the SNL ESOS 2025 are lapsed/forfeited/surrendered, then such Stock Options shall be added back to the ESOP Pool and shall be available for further grant under the SNL ESOS 2025 as per the discretion of the Board and / or Committee.
