Accordingly, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee (‘NRC’) formulated the Plan and approved the same at its meeting held on Wednesday, 15[th] April 2026, which was further approved by the Board of Directors at its meeting held on Wednesday, 22[nd] April 2026, subject to approval of the Members.

In accordance with Regulation 6 of the SBEB Regulations, the Company seeks your approval by way of Special Resolutions for adoption of ESOP 2026 and for extending the benefits and coverage of ESOP 2026 to the eligible employees of group company(ies) including subsidiary company(ies) or associate company(ies), as the NRC / Board may decide under the Plan in order to incentivize alignment and drive achievement of agreed performance metrics.
