In the opinion of the NRC and the Board, Mr B Sriram, fulfils the conditions specified under the Act, 2013 and the rules made thereunder and Listing Regulations, 2015, for the appointment as a NE-ID of the Company and he is independent of the management of the Company.

NRC at its meeting held on 11[th] January 2023, evaluated qualification, skills, experience, integrity and knowledge of Mr B Sriram and felt that it would be sufficient / satisfactory to recommend his appointment as a NE-ID on the Board, as per the Nomination and Remuneration (NR) Policy of the Company. He has also enrolled himself with the database for Independent Directors as specified under the Section 150 of the Act, 2013.

In terms of Regulation 25(2A) of Listing Regulations, appointment of Mr B Sriram as a Non- Executive Independent Director (NE-ID) requires approval of the members of the Company. In terms of proviso to Regulation 25(2A) of the Listing Regulations where a special resolution for the appointment of an independent director fails to get the requisite majority of votes but the votes cast in favour of the resolution exceed the votes cast against the resolution and the votes cast by the public shareholders in favour of the resolution exceed the votes cast against the resolution, then the appointment of such an independent director shall be deemed to have been made under this regulation. Further, in terms of Regulation 17(1C) of Listing Regulations, 2015, the appointment of NE-ID is required to be approved by the members of the Company, within a period of 3 months from the date of appointment or next General Meeting, whichever is earlier.

Mr B Sriram was appointed as a Non-Executive Independent Director (NE-ID) of the Company to hold office for a term of five consecutive years from 24[th] January, 2023 and not liable to retire by rotation during his tenure of appointment, subject to approval of the members of the Company.

Mr B Sriram had attended one Board Meeting during the Financial Year 2022-23 up to the date of this Notice. The Company has also received a notice from a member under Section 160 of the Act, 2013, proposing the candidature of Mr B Sriram for the office of director of the Company.

The Company has received a consent in writing from Mr B Sriram to act as a Director in Form DIR-2, intimating to the effect that he is not disqualified to be appointed as a director, declaration in writing that he meets the criteria of independence and he is not aware of any circumstance or situation, which exists or may be reasonably anticipated, that could impair or impact his ability to discharge his duties with an objective independent judgment and without any external influence as provided under Section 149(6) of the Act, 2013 and also under the Listing Regulations, 2015.

The draft letter of appointment setting out the terms and conditions of appointment of NE-ID will be available for inspection without any fee by the members at the Registered Office of the Company, No. 12, "Chaitanya", Khader Nawaz Khan Road, Nungambakkam, Chennai - 600 006, Tamilnadu, India, during office hours as stated above and shall also be uploaded on the website of the Company at www.tvsmotor.com.

Except Mr B Sriram, None of the Directors or any Key Managerial Personnel or any of their relatives is, in anyway, concerned or interested, financially or otherwise in the above resolution as set out in item no 1 of this notice. He does not hold any share in the Company (including shareholding as a beneficial owner). He is not related to any Director of the Company.
