Against Motilal Oswal Mutual Fund
- Motilal Oswal Mutual FundNon-Compliant under SEBI (SBEB & SE) Regulations: Non-disclosure of Exercise Price/ pricing formula since lower limit for grant of options has not been specified, hence range is too broad; Absolute Discretion to NRC to determine Exercise Price. 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. Governance Concern: Potential maximum benefit that may be granted to a single employee appears to be excessive.
