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.

    Against Axis Mutual Fund, HDFC Mutual Fund, Kotak Mahindra Mutual Fund, Motilal Oswal Mutual Fund, Nippon India Mutual Fund
    • Axis Mutual FundThe company proposes to extend the ESOS 2013 scheme to its subsidiary companies. Our view is linked to our recommendation for resolution #9.
    • HDFC Mutual FundThere is lack of disclosure/clarity on the pricing formula/exercise price at which the ESOP will be granted
    • Kotak Mahindra Mutual FundThe company clarified that share grant will be offered at face value and has also disclosed vesting period based on performance criteria s. However the company has not disclosed the maximum number of options that can be granted to an employee. Hence voting against on transparency concerns.
    • Motilal Oswal Mutual FundNon-compliant with SEBI SBEB Regulation: Exercise price inadequately disclosed. Governance concern: Potential Excessive benefits per employee
    • Nippon India Mutual FundInadequate disclosure

    Against Axis Mutual Fund, HDFC Mutual Fund, Kotak Mahindra Mutual Fund, Motilal Oswal Mutual Fund, Nippon India Mutual Fund
    • Axis Mutual FundThe company seeks approval to grant an additional 5.7 mn stock options under the existing ESOS 2013 scheme. As per the scheme the exercise price will be at the discretion of the NRC. Between FY17 and FY23, out of the total options granted ~37% were RSUs at face value. Also, it is likely that RSUs are subject to time-based vesting given that out of the total options and RSUs granted; 75% were subject to time-based vesting and 25% to performance-based vesting. We do not favour ESOP schemes where the exercise price is at a significant discount to market price. ESOPs are ‘pay at risk’ options that employees accept at the time of grant. Here the downside risk is protected by issuing the stock options at a significant discount. Hence, we do not support the resolution

    Against Bank of India Mutual Fund, DSP Mutual Fund
    • Bank of India Mutual Fund, DSP Mutual FundMithun K Chittilappilly, 40, belongs to the promoter family and has been the MD of the company since 2012. In FY21 Mithun Chittilappilly received a remuneration of Rs. 52. 4 mn. His estimated proposed remuneration of Rs 61. 1 mn for FY22 is higher than peers and in comparison, to the size and scale of business. Further, he has received around 1. 3% of the standalone PBT as commission for the past three years: which is high. The company must disclose the performance metrics on basis of which his variable pay is determined. Also, we understand that his remuneration is being set as minimum remuneration in case of inadequate profits: the company must seek approval via special resolution for not more than three years to set his pay as minimum remuneration, providing the details required under regulations. Mithun Chittilappilly is not liable to retire by rotation. While we do not support board permanency, we recognize that because Mithun K Chittilappilly is being appointed for a specified term, shareholders will have an opportunity to vote on his reappointment.

    Against Bank of India Mutual Fund, DSP Mutual Fund, Nippon India Mutual Fund
    • Bank of India Mutual Fund, DSP Mutual FundMs. Joshna Johnson Thomas is part of the promoter group and has resigned from the board with effect from 1 April 2021. She is the wife of Mithun Chittilappilly, MD and an HR professional in her own right. Ms. The company seeks approval to pay commission of Rs. 7. 4 mn for FY21, which exceeds 50% of the total remuneration payable to all non-executive directors. Her attendance at board meetings has been consistently low over the past three years. She attended 1 out of 8 board meetings held in FY21 and 6 out of 19 meetings (32%) in the previous three years, which is well below our thresholds. We consider board meeting attendance as a measure for contribution to the board – given her poor attendance levels, we do not support the resolution. The NRC must disclose the basis of its decision (including but not limited to her FY21 performance evaluation) to pay her commission.
