EXPLANATORY STATEMENT – ITEM NO. 1 & ITEM NO. 2 (AS STATED ABOVE)

The Company appreciates the critical role, its key employees play in the organizational growth. It strongly feels that the value created by its key employees should be shared with them. To promote the culture of employee ownership and as well as to attract, retain, motivate and incentivize senior and critical talents in line with corporate growth and creation of shareholders' value, the Company implemented an employee stock option Scheme namely "Employees Stock Option Scheme 2019" ("ESOS 2019") for employees including directors of the Company and group company(ies) including subsidiary company(ies) and associate company(ies) (other than promoters and persons belonging to the promoter group, independent directors and directors either himself/herself or through his/her relative or through any body corporate holding directly or indirectly more than 10% (ten percent) of the outstanding equity shares of the Company), as eligible and defined under the scheme. In view of above, the Board of Directors and Members of the Company had approved the Scheme prior to the listing of the Equity Shares of the Company.

In terms of Regulation 12(1) of Securities and Exchange Board of India (Share Based Employee Benefits and Sweat Equity) Regulations, 2021 ("SEBI SBEB Regulations"), no company is permitted to make any fresh grant which involves allotment or transfer of shares to its employees under an employee stock option or stock appreciation right scheme formulated prior to listing of its shares unless such scheme is in conformity with the SEBI SBEB Regulations and is ratified by its members after the listing of the shares of the Company. Approval of the Members is being sought for ratification of the ESOS 2019 and the issue of employee stock options ("ESOPs") to the eligible employees as may be determined by the Board of Directors/Nomination and Remuneration Committee in accordance with the ESOS 2019.

The said proposal of ratification of the Scheme was duly considered and approved by the Board of Directors ("Board") of the Company in their meeting held on August 30, 2024.

Upon vesting, the eligible employees gain the right (but not the obligation) to exercise the vested Options within the designated exercise period. This allows them to acquire equity shares of the Company, which will be allotted subject to the payment of the exercise price and fulfillment of any applicable tax obligations.

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee ("Committee") of the Company will oversee and administer the Scheme, in accordance with the powers delegated by the Board or as provided under applicable laws.
