ITEM no. 9

With the objective of attracting, motivating, rewarding and retaining employees of the Company for their high levels of individual performance and for their efforts to improve the financial performance and their loyalty to the Company, your Company instituted Employees Stock Option Scheme - 2017 (ESOS - 2017) pursuant to the special resolution passed by the Shareholders in Extra-Ordinary General Meeting held on May 24, 2017. The Company had granted 1,60,00,000 shares to its employees under the Scheme. Out of the same, 40,00,000 options which vested after year 1 of grant have been vested and exercised by the employees.

Further, for the outstanding 1,20,00,000 options as on January 18, 2019 , the Company had revised the Exercise Price from Rs. 28 per option to Rs. 15 per option due to inherent volatility in the stock market and fall in the market price of the Equity Shares of the Company, vide special resolution passed by the shareholders on March 14, 2019 . Out of those outstanding 1,20,00,000 options, 40,00,000 options which vested after year 2 of grant were not exercised and lapsed on August 9, 2020 and are available for grant. Further, for 80,00,000 options that vested pursuant to year 3 and year 4 of grant, the same were exercised pursuant to re-pricing of the exercise price from Rs. 15 per share to Rs. 10 per share. The said re-pricing was approved by members of the Company on September 08, 2020.

Now, for the outstanding 40,00,000 options which got lapsed and are available for grant, the Nomination and Remuneration committee of the Board has considered it prudent to change the vesting schedule/period from the existing 25%, 25%, 25% and 25% of the total options to vest on completion of 1(one) year, 2(Two) years, 3(Three) years and 4(Four) years respectively from the date of grant of such options to 100% vesting after 1(one) year of grant of options. The management is of the view that these 40,00,000 lapsed options available for grant were to be exercised by August 09, 2020. However, due to market conditions at that time, these 40,00,000 options could not be exercised and hence it would be prudent to allow these 40,00,000 options to vest 100% after 1 (one) year itself from the date of grant. Further, the members of the Company have already approved a new ESOP Scheme "ESOS 2020" and vesting of the options granted under the same will start in the year 2023, it is prudent to let these remaining 40,00,000 options under ESOS 2017 to vest before the vesting of options under ESOS 2020 begins. However, there will not be any change or modification in the exercise period/schedule or any other term of the scheme except for vesting schedule/period and to comply with Securities and Exchange Board of India (Share Based Employee Benefits and Sweat Equity) Regulations, 2021. The proposed modification/change in vesting schedule would be beneficial to all employees who are entitled to participate under the Scheme and such modification/change is not detrimental to the interest of the employees and is in accordance with the Acts, Regulations and Guidelines issued by Relevant Authority, including the Securities and Exchange Board of India.

The total number of ESOS's for which vesting schedule would be modified/changed is 40,00,000.

All other terms and conditions applicable for the grant of options shall remain unchanged except for the modification/change in vesting schedule/period as stated above and to comply with Securities and Exchange Board of India (Share Based Employee Benefits and Sweat Equity) Regulations, 2021. The Board recommends the Special Resolution of the Item set forth in the Notice for approval of the Members.

The proposed modification/change in vesting schedule will be in compliance of SEBI Regulations and would be beneficial for the employees.

The Company shall comply with the accounting policies specified in the requirements including the disclosure requirements of the Accounting Standards prescribed by the Central Government in terms of section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (18 of 2013) including any guidance note on accounting for employees share based payments ('Guidance Note') or Accounting Standards as may be prescribed by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) from time to time, including disclosure requirements prescribed therein.
