  ›Against Angel One Mutual Fund, DSP Mutual Fund, Edelweiss Mutual Fund, Helios Mutual Fund, Jio BlackRock Mutual Fund, Navi Mutual Fund, PGIM India Mutual Fund

  • Angel One Mutual Fund, Edelweiss Mutual Fund, Helios Mutual Fund, Navi Mutual Fund, PGIM India Mutual FundNon-Compliance and Governance Concern: Mr. Vijay Ananth K's earlier tenure as Executive Director expired on 7th February 2025, and he has been continuing on the Board as a whole-time director and was paid remuneration in such capacity, without requisite approvals, resulting in his existing position as Non-Compliant with the Companies Act, 2013 and SEBI Listing Regulations. The Company has not clarified the legal basis under which he continued to hold office of whole-time director after the expiry of his approved tenure.
  • DSP Mutual Fund, Jio BlackRock Mutual FundVijay Ananth K., 49, has been associated with the company since September 1998 and has been serving on board since 8 February 2022. Vijay Ananth K. received a remuneration of Rs. 10.2 mn in FY26. We support his reappointment as Whole Time Director. However, we raise concerns regarding the lack of clarity on his overall remuneration structure. While his fixed pay is proposed at Rs. 11.4 mn per annum, performance-linked variable pay, profit-linked commission and long-term incentive are left to the discretion of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee (NRC). We recognize that there has been no commission payout to Vijay Ananth K. in the past. However, the resolution does not disclose the performance metrics governing variable pay or cap or guidance on variable pay and commission long-term incentive, we are unable to estimate his overall remuneration. The company should have provided guidance and cap on his variable pay, commission and long-term incentive. In the absence of such clarity, we are unable to support the resolution.

  • Edelweiss Mutual Fund, Helios Mutual Fund, Navi Mutual Fund, PGIM India Mutual FundCompliant with law. Governance Concern: Mr. Menon is the NRC Chairperson, and he has failed in his duties / responsibilities to maintain proper compliance on the Board as he has approved re-appointment of a Non-Compliant position.

  ›Against Angel One Mutual Fund, Edelweiss Mutual Fund, Helios Mutual Fund, Navi Mutual Fund, PGIM India Mutual Fund

  • Angel One Mutual FundGovernance Concern: Ms. Sharma being Nomination & Remuneration Committee Member, has failed in her duties / responsibilities to maintain proper compliance on the Board as she has approved re-appointment of Non-Compliant position.

• Re-designation/Appointment of Mr. Mathew Cyriac (DIN: 01903606) as an Independent Director.

  ›Against Angel One Mutual Fund, DSP Mutual Fund, Edelweiss Mutual Fund, Helios Mutual Fund, HSBC Mutual Fund, Jio BlackRock Mutual Fund, Navi Mutual Fund, PGIM India Mutual Fund, SBI Mutual Fund

  • Angel One Mutual FundGovernance Concern: No cooling-off period served from his transition/appointment as Non-Executive Director to Independent Director. Low attendance at aggregate Board meetings in last three financial years. Mr. Mathew being Nomination & Remuneration Committee Member, has failed in his duties / responsibilities to maintain proper compliance on the Board as he has approved re-appointment of a Non-Compliant position.
  • DSP Mutual Fund, Jio BlackRock Mutual FundMathew Cyriac, 56, is the Designated Partner at Florintree Capital Partners, LLP and serves as a Non-Executive Non-Independent Director. He has been serving on the board since 4 June 2021. He attended three out of five (60%) board meetings in FY26 and ten out of sixteen (62%) board meetings over a three-year period. We recognize that he represented Florintree Capital Partners LLP’s 10.7% stake in the company as a nominee director. Florintree Capital Partners LLP sold its entire stake in the company on 16 February 2024 and Mathew Cyriac was redesignated as a Non-Executive Non-Independent Director from 17 April 2024. We note that his aggregate tenure on the board would exceed ten years during the proposed term. Further, we expect directors to attend a minimum of 75% of the board meetings held during the last three years. We do not support the resolution.
  • Edelweiss Mutual Fund, Helios Mutual Fund, Navi Mutual Fund, PGIM India Mutual FundCompliant with law. Governance Concern: No cooling-off period served from his transition/appointment as NED to ID. Low attendance at aggregate Board meetings in last three financial years. Mr. Mathew being NRC Member, has failed in his duties / responsibilities to maintain proper compliance on the Board as he has approved re-appointment of a Non-Compliant position.
  • HSBC Mutual FundA vote AGAINST the nominee is warranted because: There is lack of clarity regarding the redesignation of Mathew Cyriac as independent director, given that he was appointed as non-independent non-executive director previously.
  • SBI Mutual FundMathew Cyriac, 56, is the Designated Partner at Florintree Capital Partners, LLP and serves as a Non-Executive Non-Independent Director. He has been serving on the board since 4 June 2021. He attended three out of five (60%) board meetings in FY26 and ten out of sixteen (62%) board meetings over a three-year period.

  • SBI Mutual FundSrinivasagopalan Rangarajan, 67, is part of the promoter group and the Chairperson and Managing Director. He has over 26 years of experience in leading the company in the high-technology defense and aerospace electronics sectors. He attended all six board meetings in FY25 (100%). He received a remuneration of Rs. 11.0 mn in FY25. We are unable to reliably estimate his overall remuneration. We raise concern that the remuneration terms include a performance-linked variable pay as well as a profit-linked commission. These payouts are at the discretion of the NRC. While we recognize that there has been no commission payout to Srinivasagopalan Rangarajan in the past, there is no past trend on the payouts of the performance linked variable pay.The company must consider capping both these payouts in absolute amounts. Currently the variable pay is open-ended and consequently the entire remuneration structure is open-ended. Apart from the performance-linked variable pay and the profit-linked commission, the terms also mention a long-term incentive as per the long-term incentive policy, which is a new addition to the structure. This too, is at the discretion of the NRC. In the absence of any trend on past payouts, we are unable to make a reliable estimate. The company must disclose performance metrics which will be used to determine the variable payout. While we support his reappointment to the board as Chairperson and Managing Director, given the lack of clarity on the variable pay components, we are unable to support this resolution.
