Thanking you, Yours faithfully, For KPIT Technologies Limited Ashish Malhotra General Counsel & Company Secretary KPIT Technologies Limited O +91 20 6770 6000 Registered & Corporate Office: Plot No. 17, Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park, MIDC-SEZ, E info@kpit.com Phase-III, Maan, Taluka-Mulshi, Hinjawadi, Pune-411057, India. W kpit.com CIN: L74999PN2018PLC174192 Clarification on Resolution No. 5, 6, and 9 as set out in the Notice of the 9th Annual General Meeting We refer to the Proxy Advisory and Corporate Governance Report issued by Stakeholders Empowerment Services (“SES”) in relation to the 9th Annual General Meeting (“AGM”) of KPIT Technologies Limited (the “Company”). The Company appreciates SES’s engagement and sets out below its response to the AGAINST recommendations on Resolutions 5, 6 and 9 as set out in AGM Notice. At the outset, the Company respectfully submits that each concern is addressed by the disclosures in the AGM Notice and the clarifications below. The proposals do not create an entitlement to remuneration beyond the stated limits and applicable law. 1. Resolution 5 – Payment of Remuneration to Non-Executive Directors SES’s concern. SES has raised a transparency concern regarding the historical distribution of commission among Non-Executive Directors (“NEDs”), noting that late Mr. S. B. (Ravi) Pandit received ₹1.98 crore in FY 2025-26 compared with an average of approximately ₹0.59 crore for the other NEDs. SES has also noted that the proposal does not set an absolute cap for each NED and has sought clarity on whether Dr. Nirmala Pandit will receive similar differential remuneration. Company’s response. Resolution 5 does not increase the remuneration limit. It seeks to maintain the existing limit of 2% of the Company’s net profits, in addition to sitting fees, for a further five-year period commencing FY 2026-27. The same 2% limit was approved by the Members at the 2021 AGM for FY 2021-22 to FY 2025-26. For the avoidance of doubt, Dr. Nirmala Pandit will be remunerated on the same basis as the other Independent Directors. The Notice under Resolution 10 expressly states that she will be entitled to sitting fees and commission in the same manner as any other Independent Director. No special or differential remuneration is proposed for her by reason of her status as a promoter NED or otherwise. The historical payment to late Mr. S. B. (Ravi) Pandit reflected his exceptional contribution to KPIT. He was a Co-Founder and Chairman and had been associated with the Company for more than 37 years. The commission paid to him was intended to recognise his extraordinary contribution, strategic guidance and stewardship of the Company; it was not a differential practice proposed for promoter NEDs generally. The Company acknowledges that Resolution 5 does not prescribe a separate absolute cap for each NED. The proposal instead maintains the existing aggregate 2% ceiling, which has not been fully utilised in the past, and does not create an automatic entitlement to that amount. More importantly, the Company confirms that no differential practice is proposed for any promoter NED going forward. KPIT Technologies Limited O +91 20 6770 6000 Registered & Corporate Office: Plot No. 17, Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park, MIDC-SEZ, E info@kpit.com Phase-III, Maan, Taluka-Mulshi, Hinjawadi, Pune-411057, India. W kpit.com CIN: L74999PN2018PLC174192 Accordingly, the historical circumstances relating to Mr. Pandit should not be treated as an indication of the remuneration proposed for Dr. Nirmala Pandit or any other promoter NED. The Company believes that the Notice and these clarifications address the transparency concern while preserving a remuneration framework that recognises the contributions of NEDs. 2. Resolution 6 – Remuneration Limits for Executive Directors SES’s concern. SES has treated the proposal as an umbrella approval that increases the limits from 5% to 8% for an individual Executive Director (“ED”) and from 10% to 15% collectively, without disclosing a maximum amount for each ED. SES has also noted that past remuneration remained within statutory limits and has stated that it does not support umbrella approvals. Company’s response. Resolution 6 does not seek an increase to the limits already approved by shareholders. The 8% individual and 15% collective limits were approved at the 2021 AGM for FY 2021-22 to FY 2025-26, and the present proposal seeks only to maintain those same limits for a further five years commencing FY 2026-27. The references to 5% and 10% are the statutory thresholds; they are not new limits being sought by the Company at this AGM. The related overall maximum managerial remuneration limit of 11% follows from the same framework and remains subject to the Companies Act and SEBI (LODR) Regulations. The reason for maintaining this flexibility is operational, not to authorise unbounded remuneration. KPIT is executing a transformation from a pure services company to an AI-led Products & Platform Company. This requires a separate leadership structure for the product organisation and may require the Company to onboard seasoned international business leaders and domain experts as EDs or NEDs, including individuals based outside India. Their compensation may be set by local market conditions, foreign-currency benchmarks and long-term incentive structures such as ESOPs. The Company also needs flexibility to assign EDs to and recruit leadership for its global operations. ED responsibilities extend to the consolidated KPIT Group rather than only the standalone Company. The scale of that responsibility is reflected in consolidated revenue of ₹6,455 crore compared with standalone revenue of ₹2,608 crore. A ceiling calculated solely by reference to standalone profits does not fully reflect the scope, scale and complexity of the Group’s operations. Resolution 6 is not a substitute for shareholder approval of individual remuneration. The remuneration of the proposed ED reappointments is separately placed before shareholders under Resolutions 8 and 9 as ordinary resolutions, with the relevant remuneration terms and caps disclosed and within applicable legal limits. Shareholders therefore retain direct oversight of each proposed ED’s remuneration; existing terms for the other EDs have already been approved in dedicated shareh [Showing first 8,000 characters — download PDF for full document]
