An independent director has no business or family tie to the company, its promoters or its managers beyond the seat. Listed boards counts the boards of listed companies the director sits on, this one included, and "as independent" how many of those seats are independent ones. Committee seats are audit and stakeholder committee seats across those companies. Months as independent is filed for independent directors only, whose terms the rules cap. Disqualified is the company's own mark that a director may not serve under company law.

  • Ratification of the “Employee Stock Option Plan 2025” of Orkla India Limited
    Against Angel One Mutual Fund, Edelweiss Mutual Fund, LIC Mutual Fund
    • Angel One Mutual FundThe Company has not disclosed the Exercise Price/ Pricing Formula. The intent behind SEBI mandating disclosure of exercise price in the Notice, is that the shareholders could estimate the economic benefit proposed to be transferred to its employees during the course of time. Non-disclosure or authorizing Nomination & Remuneration Committee to decide such price defeats the purpose of SEBI requiring Companies to disclose such information. Further, The Nomination & Remuneration Committee has been given the discretion extend to Exercise period, which may result in situations where the exercise period is not uniformly applicable to all employees. Governance Concern: Potential maximum benefit that may be granted to a single employee appears to be excessive.
    • Edelweiss Mutual Fund, LIC Mutual FundNon-Compliant under SEBI SBEB Regulations 2021: The Company has not disclosed the Exercise Price/ Pricing Formula. The intent behind SEBI mandating disclosure of exercise price in the Notice, is that the shareholders could estimate the economic benefit proposed to be transferred to its employees during the course of time. Nondisclosure or authorizing NRC to decide such price defeats the purpose of SEBI requiring Companies to disclose such information.
