• Approval of ‘Dr. Lal PathLabs Employee Restricted Stock Unit Plan 2025’

  ›Against Axis Mutual Fund, HDFC Mutual Fund, Invesco Mutual Fund, Kotak Mahindra Mutual Fund, Mirae Asset Mutual Fund, Quantum Mutual Fund

  • Axis Mutual FundDr. Lal PathLabs Employee Restricted Stock Unit Plan 2025 (RSU 2025) will result in a dilution of ~0.4% on the expanded capital base (due to fresh issue). The units will be granted at face value, which reflects a ~99.7% discount to the current market price. When the exercise price is at a significant discount to market price, we expect mandatory vesting of all units to be linked to predefined performance criteria that must be disclosed with targets. As per the notice, vesting of atleast 50% options will be based on achievement of certain performance criteria like revenue and profitability indicators. These criteria are broad and do not provide visibility on achievement parameters. Further, balance 50% may vest solely on continuation of employment. We expect companies to provide granular clarity on performance criteria along with the targets, or a commitment to disclose such targets subsequently in the annual report after the vesting of options.In the current case (RSU 2025), not all units may vest based on performance, and even for the 50% options that have a performance-linked vesting, the disclosures are not sufficiently detailed. We do not support the resolution.
  • HDFC Mutual FundESOPS/RSUs are being granted at a deep discount to market price. We do not support the resolution.

We do not support the resolution
  • Kotak Mahindra Mutual FundWith regard to the maximum options that may be granted under the Scheme, the Company has stated that the number of Options that may be granted per employee and in aggregate for such employee shall not exceed 75,000 (Seventy-Five Thousand) Options. Considering the Exercise Price under the Scheme is face and maximum option issued per employees at 75,000, the maximum potential benefit would be ~ 23.48 crores. As per the notice, vesting of atleast 50% options will be based on achievement of certain performance criteria like revenue and profitability indicators. These criteria are broad and do not provide visibility on achievement parameters. Further, for the balance 50% or less, it is unclear whether vesting will be solely on continuation of employment or it will have some factor of performance as well. In the absence of clarity, we would not be able to support it. Hence we do not favour it.
  • Mirae Asset Mutual FundESOP pricing at significant discount to market price (high discount implies non-alignment of potential future growth for shareholder and ESOP holders)
  • Quantum Mutual FundFor the following Governance reason we vote against the Resolution.The company is seeking shareholder’s approval for Dr. Lal PathLabs Employee Restricted Stock Unit Plan 2025 (RSU 2025). The exercise price is set at face value. The scheme provides for vesting of 50% on continued employment and the remainder will be based on achievement of certain performance criteria like revenue and profitability indicators. We are of the view that the RSUs should not be time based in nature and should be completely performance linked. Further, there is lack of clarity on performance parameters to be considered for the vesting of RSUs. In the absence of clarity, we do not favour the resolution.
