10 for0 against- To appoint a Director in place of Ms. Zahabiya Khorakiwala (DIN: 00102689), who retires from office by rotation and, being eligible, offers herself for re-appointment.
Against Angel One Mutual Fund, DSP Mutual Fund, Edelweiss Mutual Fund, HSBC Mutual Fund, Jio BlackRock Mutual Fund, Navi Mutual Fund, SBI Mutual Fund
- Angel One Mutual FundGovernance concern: Low attendance and holds two full time positions in entities which do not hold substantial stake in one-another and are engaged in unrelated businesses.
- DSP Mutual Fund, Jio BlackRock Mutual Fund, SBI Mutual FundMs. Zahabiya Khorakiwala, 43, part of the promoter group, Managing Director of Wockhardt Hospitals Ltd and has served on the board since October 2017. During FY26, she attended four of six (67%) board meetings and eleven out of fifteen board meetings (73%) held in the last three financial years. We expect directors attend all board meetings: we have a threshold of 75% attendance of the board meetings in the three-years prior to re-appointment. While her reappointment is in line with statutory regulations, we are unable to support the reappointment given her low attendance. We do not support the resolution.
- Edelweiss Mutual Fund, Navi Mutual FundCompliant with law. Governance concern: Low attendance and holds two full time positionsin entities which do not hold substantial stake in one-another and are engaged in unrelated businesses.
- HSBC Mutual FundA vote AGAINST the nominee is warranted because: • The nominee has failed to attend at least 75 percent of board meetings in the most recent fiscal year, without a satisfactory explanation.
3 for7 against - Ratification of remuneration payable to the Cost Auditors for the Financial Year 2026-2710 for0 against
- Revision of the remuneration payable to Dr. Habil Khorakiwala (DIN: 00045608), Executive Chairman
Against DSP Mutual Fund, HSBC Mutual Fund, Jio BlackRock Mutual Fund
- DSP Mutual Fund, Jio BlackRock Mutual FundDr. Habil Khorakiwala, 83, is the promoter and Executive Chairperson. In FY26, he was paid a fixed remuneration of Rs. 50.0 mn. His proposed pay for the remaining period of his tenure is expected to range between Rs.100.0 to Rs.150.0 mn. Although we note the improvement in the overall performance of the company with FY26 EBITDA rising to Rs. 6.8 bn (20.0% margin) from Rs. 4.5 bn (14.6% margin), a trend expected to sustain given a healthy revenue outlook driven by the continued scale-up of the formulations business as well as anticipated growth in biosimilars and NCEs. However, we raise concerns over the fixed remuneration structure and timing of the revision. An increase of over 100% in remuneration is significant and should be aligned to company performance. Furthermore, the proposed quantum is high relative to the size and scale of company's operations and industry peers. We also highlight concerns regarding Dr. Khorakiwala's membership on the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, which creates an inherent conflict of interest. We support the resolution.
- HSBC Mutual FundA vote AGAINST this resolution is warranted in view of the following concerns in the executive's remuneration: • If this proposal is approved, executive will be paid remuneration even in the event of loss or inadequate profits of the company. • The resolution entails giving discretion to the board to revise the remuneration by up to 50 percent of the proposed remuneration. • The estimated pay of the executive is competitively positioned compared to market peers. • The executive serves as a member of nomination and remuneration committee.

- Groww Mutual Fund, Motilal Oswal Mutual FundCompliant with law. Governance Concern: Clubbed resolution and inadequate disclosures for certain RPTs proposed.
- ICICI Prudential Mutual FundThe AMC has voted against the resolution as the AMC believes that the resolution is not supported by adequate disclosure and does not provide clarity with respect to the size of the transactions with Wockhardt Bio AG.
- Invesco Mutual FundThe resolutions between Wockhardt and its subsidiaries, and between the subsidiaries and the step-down subsidiaries, are enabling with transaction limits higher than the company’s revenues. The transactions with KHIPL is for financial support upto Rs. 15 bn, at rates that are similar to KHIPL’s cost of funds or GSec rates of similar tenure plus a spread not exceeding 1%. We do not support the resolution on account of lack of clarity on the size and tenure of the proposed transactions. Further, Wockhardt has demonstrated an ability to raise funds from the market, therefore the need to rely on promoter entities for financial support is unclear

- ICICI Prudential Mutual FundThe AMC has voted against the resolution as the AMC believes that the rationale for increase in remuneration of Dr Habil Khorakiwala by 37% remains unclear while the profitability of the company continues to remain depressed with the company making a net loss of Rs 466 crs in FY2024.
- Invesco Mutual FundHabil Khorakiwala, 81, Promoter and Executive Chairperson has been on the board since 1999. Under the promoters’ leadership, the company’s performance over the past five years has remained depressed and profitability continues to remain under pressure. We raise concern over the promoters’ ability to turn around the business, given that the company has been reporting losses for several years. We believe the company needs professional management. Furthermore, Habil Khorakiwala has been a member of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee since 2014, which raises concerns over potential conflict of interest. For FY24, he was paid a remuneration of Rs. 36.5 mn, an increase of 26%, despite the company continuing to post a net loss. His proposed remuneration is capped at Rs. 50.0 mn. The past remuneration has not been linked to company performance and proposed remuneration is high for the size and performance of the business
