Institutional Investor Advisory Services
Dear Sir / Madam,
SEDEMAC Mechatronics Limited (“Company” or “we”) are in receipt of the proxy advisory report
from Institutional Investor Advisory Services (“IiAS”) dated August 05, 2026 (“Report”) setting out
your voting recommendations in relation to the resolutions proposed to be passed through postal
ballot notice dated July 16, 2026 (“Notice”).
We note that you have recommended voting ‘AGAINST’ the following resolutions:
1. Ratification of SEDEMAC Employee Stock Option Plan 2014 (“ESOP 2014”) of the Company;
2. Ratification of SEDEMAC Mechatronics Employee Stock Option Scheme - 2025 (“ESOS
2025”) of the Company.
In relation to the same, we would like to submit the following clarifications / comments:
I. Resolution No. 1 relating to ratification of ESOP 2014
1. We note that you have recommended voting ‘AGAINST’ this resolution on the ground that
employee stock options (“Options”) under the ESOP 2014 may be granted with an exercise
price at a deep discount (greater than 20%) to the prevailing market price, and IiAS does not
favour schemes where the exercise price exceeds a 20% discount to market price at the time
of grant, as such structures reduce the ‘pay at risk’ nature of employee stock options and
misalign employee and investor interests.
2. In relation to your concern on the grounds of possibility of grant of Options at a deeply
discounted rate to the prevailing market price, we would like to submit that as per the
applicable law relating to Options (i.e., Section 62(1)(b) of the Companies Act, 2013 (“Act”)
read with Rule 12(3) of the Companies (Share Capital and Debentures) Rules, 2014 (“Share
Capital Rules”) (applicable to unlisted companies) and Regulation 6(2) of the Securities and
Exchange Board of India (Share Based Employee Benefits and Sweat Equity) Regulations,
2021 (“SEBI SBEB & SE Regulations”) read with Regulation 17 of the SEBI SBEB & SE
Regulations (applicable to listed companies)), the Company was previously authorized /
continues to be authorized to determine the exercise price for Options under the ESOP 2014
(subject to conforming to the accounting policies). Relevant extracts of Rule 12(3) of the Share
Capital Rules (applicable to unlisted companies) and Regulation 17 of the SEBI SBEB & SE
Regulations (applicable to listed companies) are set out below.
Rule 12(3) of the Share Capital Rules:
“The companies granting option to its employees pursuant to Employees Stock Option
Scheme will have the freedom to determine the exercise price in conformity with the
applicable accounting policies, if any.”

Regulation 17 of the SEBI SBEB & SE Regulations:
“The company granting options to its employees pursuant to an ESOS shall be free to
determine the exercise price subject to conforming to the accounting policies specified in
regulation 15 of these regulations.”
3. As per the ESOP 2014, the exercise price of Options can be determined by the NRC to be as
follows:
““Exercise Price" means the price set out in the Letter of Grant that shall be paid by a Grantee
to exercise the Options vested in him/her by such Letter of Grant. The Exercise Price for each
Option shall be a price between 30% to 60% of the applicable Last Round Securities Price,
unless otherwise determined by the Administrator. Subject to Applicable Laws, the
Administrator may determine the Exercise Price to be the Fair Market Value on the date of
grant or an amount higher or lower than such Fair Market Value, provided that if the
Administrator specifically decides to provide for a lower price, such lower price shall not be
lower than the face value of the Shares. Post Listing, the Exercise Price shall be in
compliance with the SBEB Regulations as applicable from time to time.”
4. We request you to note that:
(i) Regulation 17 of the SEBI SBEB & SE Regulations, which is applicable to the
Company does not mandate a specific exercise price or a specific percentage of
discount on the prevailing market price in terms of determining the exercise price of
Options, but only requires that the exercise price or pricing formula (as determined by
the Company) to be in accordance with the applicable accounting policies. There is no
restriction on granting the nomination and remuneration committee (“NRC”) the
authority to determine such exercise price.
(ii) The NRC of the Company has been constituted by its board of directors (“Board”) in
accordance with regulations issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India and
has the discretion to determine the exercise price for Options under the ESOP 2014.
(iii) Further, ESOP 2014 provides that the exercise price cannot be lower than the face
value of the shares of the Company as on the date of grant, but can range between the
face value of the equity shares of the Company and an amount higher than the ‘Fair
Market Value’ (as defined in the ESOP 2014), and the NRC may determine it to be at a
discount of 30% (thirty percent) to 60% (sixty percent) on the applicable ‘Last Round
Securities Price’ (as defined in the ESOP 2014) / the ‘Market Price’ of the equity
shares of the Company (as defined
