ITEM No. 1 & 2:
The Equity based compensation is considered to be an integral part of employee compensation across sectors which enables alignment of personal goals of the employees with organizational objectives by participating in the ownership of the Company through stock-based compensation scheme. Previously, your Company had implemented employee stock option program in the year 2006 and 2010 with an objective to reward employees for their contribution in the Company’s growth and attracting & retaining key talents. The employee stock option pool under both the schemes has been exhausted.
Your Company’s intention is to implement a broad-based employee stock ownership program namely ‘Wabag Centenary Stock Option Scheme 2023’ (“Scheme” or “ESOS 2023”) as a strategic initiative aimed at rewarding employees for their dedicated service in celebration of its Centenary year of brand “WABAG”. It aims to reinforce employees’ commitment, acknowledge their dedication, and align their interests with the long-term success of the Company as it embarks on the journey beyond its
10
Centenary year. Also, the Company actively engages in diverse projects across its Group, further bolstering its overall growth trajectory. Consequently, the Board of Directors of the Company, based on the recommendations of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee (“the Committee”) deems it beneficial to extend the Scheme’s benefits to employees not only within the Company but also within its Subsidiary(ies), Associates, and its Group companies (existing and future). This inclusive approach aims to attract and retain key talents within the organization.
Wabag Centenary Stock Option Scheme 2023 will comprise of mega Grant for accomplishing Centenary year by the Company as well as periodic Grants which may be determined by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee (“Committee”) from time to time. The criteria to select employees for Grant would be determined by the Committee based on factors such as length of service, grade, individual performance ratings over past few years, present contribution, potential contribution, conduct, etc. as it may deem relevant. At the same time, the Company is aware that any discount should be compensated with appropriate vesting conditions based on achievement of mandatory corporate performance conditions such as revenue, earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization, cash inflow, order book, etc.
As per provisions of Regulation 6 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Share Based Employee Benefits and Sweat Equity) Regulations, 2021 (“SBEB Regulations”), the Company seeks Members’ approval for the implementation of the Scheme.
