Reason supporting the vote decision
03-Apr-17 Bombay Stock Exchange Ltd Postal Ballot Shareholder Appointment Of Mr. Roland Schwinn (DIN: 07728316) As A Shareholder
Director
For For In line with regulatory requirements
03-Apr-17 Bombay Stock Exchange Ltd Postal Ballot Shareholder Appointment Of Mr. Kuldip Singh Dhingra (DIN: 00048406) As A Shareholder
Director
For For In line with regulatory requirements
03-Apr-17 IFGL Refractories Ltd Court Meeting Management Approve reverse merger of IFGL Refractories Limited (holding company) with
its 51% subsidiary, IFGL Exports Limited
For For Consolidation of operations under on entity at attractive terms for shareholders.
06-Apr-17 Grasim Industries Court Meeting Management Approve a Composite Scheme of Arrangement between Aditya Birla Nuvo
Limited and Grasim Industries Limited and Aditya Birla Financial Services
Limited and their respective shareholders and creditors.
For For Aditya Birla Nuvo Ltd will merge into Grasim Industries Ltd and subsequently there will be partial demerger and
listing of financial service business into Aditya Birla Financial Services business.
The transaction provides following benefits to Grasim Industries: 1) Deployment of surplus cash generates every
year into growth business Grasim Industries has two key lines of business - Cement (held through subsidiary
Ultratech Cement) and VSF & Chemicals. Both these businesses are self-sufficient in terms of capital generation
and requirements. In fact, VSF & Chemicals businesses are generating surplus cash which cannot be entirely
deployed in existing business. Addition of Financial services business through the transaction provides
opportunity to utilize the capital into a rapidly growing business which would regularly require capital.
This step is quite similar to the one adopted earlier through acquisition of Ultratech cement from L&T in 2003
whereupon surplus cash from VSF business was utilized to build the largest cement business in India. This
strategy has created significant shareholder value in past. 2) Strong parentage to provide competitive advantage
to ABFS businesses A parent with strong Balance Sheet and surplus cash generating capability should help
strengthen rating profile of the NBFC business within ABFS businesses. This, in turn, would provide significant
advantage in a competitive market in form of lower borrowing costs et al. 3) Significantly improved liquidity and
enhanced weightage in prominent indices
The combined entity would have larger market cap and shareholder base which would improve liquidity in the
stock. In addition, large market cap would warrant higher weightage in prominent indices like NSE Nifty,
Sensex, MSCI India etc. which encourages higher institutional participation. Hence, we believe that this
transaction is in favour of long term investors in the stock, notwithstanding any short-term vicissitudes of the
markets.

10-Apr-17 Aditya Birla Nuvo Ltd Court Meeting Management To approve scheme of amalgamation between Aditya Birla Nuvo Ltd. and
Grasim Industries Ltd. and Aditya Birla Financial Services Ltd. and their
respective shareholders and creditors
For For Positive from long-term perspective. 1) Credit Rating improvement considering Grasim’s parentage. 2) Financial
Services segment needs equity capital for growth which can be pumped from Grasim at various time frame.3)
The proposed restructuring will provide an opportunity for ABNL shareholders to participate in Grasim’s steady
cash generating businesses with established leadership position in India, while enabling its growth businesses to
grow at a faster pace.4) Post listing, ABFSL will have flexibility to raise funds including independently from the
capital markets to meet its growth requirements. 5) The proposed restructuring will also lead to the consolidation
of similar businesses of Grasim and ABNL, namely chemicals and textiles. As a result, the presence in the
textiles value chain will expand.

through a tender offer, aggregate consideration not to exceed Rs 160 bn
For For The proposed buyback aggregates ~2.85% of issued and paid-up equity capital and will result in funds usage of
an estimated Rs. 160.0 bn, which is within the statutory limit of being less than 25% of the aggregate of the paid-
up share capital and free reserves as per the audited accounts of the Company as on 31 December 16. The

final amount is left to the discretion of the board. As a good practice, companies must provide a cap (in absolute
amounts) on the variable (long-term and short-term) components of the remuneration structure. However, the
current remuneration is in line with the performance of the company and commensurate with that paid to peers
in the industry. We expect the company to be judicious in its payouts as it has been in the past.

26-Sep-17 Reliance Communications Ltd. Annual General Meeting Management Adopt new Articles of Association (AoA) to align with Companies Act 2013 For Abstain With the coming into force of the Companies Act, 2013, several provisions of the existing Articles of Association
(AoA) of the Company require alteration or deletion. Accordingly, the Company has proposed to replace the

26-Sep-17 Reliance Communications Ltd. Annual General Meeting Management Approve conversion of outstanding debt into equity to implement Strategic
Debt Restructuring (SDR)
For For The aggregate amount of outstanding loans was Rs. 348.4 bn on June 1, 2017 on a standalone basis. Under the
Strategic Debt Restructuring (SDR) scheme, lenders have a right to convert whole or part of their debt into equity
share of the company so as to collectively acquire 51% or more of the equity share capital of the company. The
price of equity shares to be issued to lenders upon conversion of loans is Rs. 24.71 per share. Assuming lenders
convert loans so as to acquire 51% of equity share capital of the company, all existing shareholders will get
diluted by 51%. Although the dilution is high, we believe that the proposal will reduce outstanding debt, which is
in the longer-term interest of shareholders.

For Against In 2016, the company implemented ESOS 2016: upto 14. 1 mn stock options, or 5% of the paid-up equity capital
on 31 March 2016. Glenmark Pharma has granted 0. 6 mn stock options till date at an exercise price of Rs. 800
per option. The company proposes to amend the size of the scheme to 1% of paid-up share capital as on 31
March 2017 – 2. 8 mn and re-price the exercise price of the outstanding options from Rs. 800 per option to Rs.
600 per option. ESOPs are ‘pay at risk’ options that employees accept at the time of grant. The inherent
assumption of an ESOP scheme is that there could be possible downside risks – and that employees may not
indeed gain from a stock price movement. By repricing, Glenmark Pharma is attempting to protect employees’
downside risk and ensure that they gain on the upside. Alternatively, the company could let the options lapse
and simply compensate the same employees with fresh options left under the 2016 scheme

In order to exercise better administrative, operational and economic control which will reduce overheads and

07-Oct-17 INFOSYS LTD. Postal Ballot Management Appoint Nandan Nilekani as a Director and Chairperson of the board For For Nandan Nilekani (DIN: 00041245) is one of the founder promoters of Infosys and its former CEO. His
appointment as Non-Executive Chairperson will provide stability to the board, which was thrust into a leadership
crisis after a public tussle with one of the promoters and the abrupt resignation of the CEO. Nandan Nilekani
enjoys the trust of all stakeholders, including the promoter group. Given his stature and gravitas, we believe he is
ideally suited to fit the pieces together and put the company back on strong footing.

competitive telecom landscape created by the entry of Reliance Jio. Further, while Vodafone is a relatively larger
entity than Idea, the transaction is positioned as a ‘merger of equals’ where Idea’s promoters have the option to
equalize their shareholding with Vodafone at a predetermined price. The deal contours clearly favour Idea as
evinced by Idea’s right to appoint the Chairperson and voting rights for both Idea and Vodafone being equal even
before equalization of shares. The valuation is in line with peers.

in NIIT Tech will be cancelled and equal number of shares (2. 2 mn) will be issued to the shareholders of PIPL and
GSPL i. E. To Pawar Family Trust and Thadani Family Trust. PIPL and GSPL will be dissolved, without winding up.
The merger will simplify the promoter’s shareholding structure and there would be no change in promoters’
aggregate shareholding. Hence, there would be no dilution for minority shareholders. Further, there is no
material financial implication on NIIT Technologies on account of the merger.
30-Oct-17 IFCI LTD. AGM Management Adoption of financial statements for the financial year ended 31 March17 For For No concerns identified.

rotation
For For Ms. Kiran Sahdev is Executive Director, LIC. She has attended 10 of 12 or 83% of the board meetings in FY17 and
30/38 or 79% of the board meetings in the last three years. We expect directors to take their responsibilities
seriously and attend all meetings. She retires by rotation and her reappointment is in line with all statutory
requirements.
30-Oct-17 IFCI LTD. AGM Management Authorize the Board of Directors to fix the remuneration of the auditors for
FY18
For For The statutory auditors are appointed and rotated by the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) as per
Section 139(5) of the Companies Act, 2013. ASA & Associates LLP and KPMR & Associates jointly audited the
financial statements of the company in FY17. The company proposes to authorize the board of directors to fix
the remuneration of the auditors (KPMR & Associates have been appointed by the CAG as auditors for FY18). The
payment to auditors on a standalone basis was Rs. 4. 5 mn in FY16 and Rs. 5. 7 mn in FY17 which was
commensurate to the size of the company. We expect that the auditor remuneration will remain in the same
range.
30-Oct-17 IFCI LTD. AGM Management Issue securities (including bonds and non-convertible debentures) up to Rs. 50.0
bn on private placement basis

30-Oct-17 IFCI LTD. AGM Management Approval for amendment to Articles of Association For For SEBI circular CIR/IMD/DF-1/67/2017 dated 30 June 2017 allows corporates a maximum of 17 ISINs maturing in
any financial year. If fresh issuances maturing in a financial year need to be made in excess of the 17 ISINs
permitted in that year then prior issue(s) under one or more of the existing ISINs need to be consolidated and
reissued. However, to carry out such consolidation and re-issuance of debt securities, clause (a) of Regulation
20A of the SEBI (Issue and Listing of Debt Securities) Regulations, 2008 requires an enabling provision in the AoA.
The SEBI circular also stipulates that the enabling provision should be obtained within six months from 30 June
2017. Accordingly, IFCI seeks shareholder approval to alter in the AoA by insertion of a new article 79A after
Article 79 of the current Articles of Association.

Nepal to Torrent Pharmaceuticals Limited (TPL) via slump sale
For For The company seeks shareholders’ approval for transfer of its domestic formulations business to Torrent

formulations, API, contract manufacturing and contract research. Part of the proceeds from the sale will be
utilised to pay dividends.

08-Dec-17 HINDUSTAN UNILEVER LTD. Postal Ballot Management Appoint Srinivas Phatak as Whole-time Director for five years with effect from 1
December 2017 for five years and fix his remuneration
For For Srinivas Phatak will be designated Executive Director, Finance & IT and Chief Financial Officer with effect from 1
December 2017. There is limited clarity with respect to his remuneration. We expect his remuneration to range
closer to his predecessor in the same role – which aggregated Rs 74 mn in FY17. This remuneration level is
comparable to peers and commensurate with the size and complexity of his responsibilities. We expect the
company to remain judicious in its director remuneration. HUL must consider providing greater clarity on the
proposed remuneration structures going forward.
09-Dec-17 RELIANCE HOME FINANCE LTD. Postal Ballot Management Increase in authorised share capital and alteration in the capital clause of
Memorandum of Association
For For Reliance Home Finance Ltd. (RHFL) is exploring the possibility of raising equity by way of a Qualified Institutional
Placement to Qualified Institutional Buyers (proposed in Resolution #2). Hence, the company seeks shareholder
approval to increase its authorised share capital from Rs 6. 0 bn to Rs 8. 0 bn and a consequent amendment to its
Memorandum of Association.
09-Dec-17 RELIANCE HOME FINANCE LTD. Postal Ballot Management Issuance of securities by way of a Qualified Institutional Placement For For The proposed issue of equity by way of a QIP to QIBs may be made in one or more tranches such that the
aggregate amount raised would not lead to a dilution of more than 25% of the issued and subscribed capital or
20% of the post issue capital. With maximum dilution, RHFL will issue ~121. 3 mn shares and at current market
price can raise upto Rs 9. 1 bn. While we recognize that this is an enabling resolution, the company should have
disclosed a fixed quantum of securities to be issued and a well-defined objective for the issuance.
09-Dec-17 RELIANCE HOME FINANCE LTD. Postal Ballot Management Ratification of Reliance Home Finance – Employee Stock Option Scheme of
24.25 mn options issued at market price
For For RHFL has issued 1. 6 mn shares under the scheme at Rs 101. 0 per share prior to listing (these ESOS are currently
out of the money as CMP is Rs 75. 0). Future options will be issued at market price, which aligns employee
incentives to shareholder returns. Overall dilution of the entire scheme is expected to be 4. 8% on expanded
capital base.
09-Dec-17 RELIANCE HOME FINANCE LTD. Postal Ballot Management Ratification of grant of stock options to employees / directors of subsidiary and
holding company under the employee stock option scheme
For Abstain Paucity of data.
09-Dec-17 V-GUARD INDUSTRIES LTD. Postal Ballot Management Add 1.0 mn stock options to Employee Stock Option Scheme, 2013 (ESOS 2013) For For The cost impact of incremental options will be Rs. 125. 2 mn. Assuming a vesting period of five years, the
company will expense Rs. 25. 1 mn per year incrementally, which is 1. 65% of the FY17 net profit of the
company. While we do not favour stock options issued at a discount to market price, the cost of the scheme is
relatively low as compared to profits. The company has exhausted over 90% of the original scheme size and
needs additional headroom to continue granting options under the scheme. Notwithstanding, the company
should be more transparent in disclosing the basis on which it decides between issuing share options and RSUs
to employees and also the reasons for choosing to add options to existing scheme rather than initiating a new
scheme.
09-Dec-17 V-GUARD INDUSTRIES LTD. Postal Ballot Management Approve payment of commission upto 1% of net profit to Kochouseph
Chittilappilly as Non-Executive Chairperson for three years with effect from 1
August 2017
For For Considering the FY18 Reuters consensus analyst estimate of net profit of Rs. FY18, the net profit of the company
of Rs. 1. 76 bn, the maximum commission payable to non-executive directors (including Kochouseph
Chittilappilly) is ~Rs. 17. 6 mn, relatively high. Notwithstanding, as founder promoter, we believe the company
will benefit from his experience. We expect companies to fix the absolute amount of commission payable to non-
executive directors.
10-Dec-17 SREI INFRASTRUCTURE FINANCE LTD. Postal Ballot Management Alter the Articles of Association (AoA) to conform with provision of Companies
Act, 2013

redeemable non-convertible debentures (NCDs) or debt securities
For For The proposed NCDs or debt securities will be issued within the overall borrowing limits.
12-Dec-17 ESSEL PROPACK LTD. Postal Ballot Management Adoption of new Articles of Association (AoA) that conform with the Companies
Act, 2013
For Abstain The company proposes to adopt a new set of Articles of Association (AoA) by deleting/ amending the references
to various sections and schedules and substitute them with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013. The
company has uploaded the draft AoA on its website. However certain clauses of the AoA are prejudicial to
minority shareholders and the company must revise its AoA modifying / deleting these clauses.
12-Dec-17 I T D CEMENTATION INDIA LTD. Postal Ballot Management Issue of equity shares or equity-linked securities aggregating upto Rs 3.5 bn
through QIP, private placement or preferential allotment
For For To raise Rs. 3. 5 bn, at current market price of Rs. 209. 6 per share, the company will need to issue 16. 7 mn
equity shares. This will result in equity dilution of ~9. 7% on the post–issuance share capital. ITD had an order
book of Rs. 81. 3 bn on 30 September 2017 and it will require capital for completion of existing and future
projects. The equity issuance will help ITD in maintaining or improving its capital structure.
12-Dec-17 SHRIRAM TRANSPORT FINANCE CO.
LTD.
Postal Ballot Management Amendment of Articles of Association by insertion of new Article 32A to carry
out consolidation and re-issuance of non-convertible debt securities
For For SEBI circular CIR/IMD/DF-1/67/2017 allows corporates a maximum of 17 ISINs maturing in any financial year. If
fresh issuances maturing in a financial year need to be made in excess of the 17 ISINs permitted in that year then
prior issue(s) under one or more of the existing ISINs need to be consolidated and reissued. However, to carry
out such consolidation and re-issuance of debt securities, SEBI’s (ICDR) Regulations requires an enabling
provision in the AoA.
13-Dec-17 PNB HOUSING FINANCE LTD Postal Ballot Management Approve ex-gratia payment aggregating Rs.62 mn by DEL-Mauritius to reward
certain senior management personnel of PNB Housing Finance
For For Destimoney Enterprises Limited, Mauritius (DEL Mauritius) earlier held a 49% stake in PNB Housing via its Indian
subsidiary, Destimoney Enterprises Limited, India (DEL- India), which it sold to Quality Investment Holdings,
Mauritius. It proposes to distribute a portion of its gains from the transaction to certain senior management
personnel of PNB Housing. The proposition aligns employee goals with the interests of non-promoter
shareholders. Further, the company will not bear the burden of such rewards. We raise concerns over the lack of
disclosure on the number of employees being covered under the scheme, the basis of their selection and the
method used to arrive at the amount of payment.

13-Dec-17 PNB HOUSING FINANCE LTD Postal Ballot Management Pay upto 0.25% of net profit as commission to Independent Directors for five
years from FY18
For For The company proposes to pay up to 0. 25% of net profit as commission to Independent Directors annually for a
period of five years. PNB Housing has not paid any commission to the Independent Directors in past. The
proposed commission is reasonable compared to the size and complexity of the firm. We expect companies to
cap the absolute amount of commission payable to its Independent Directors.
14-Dec-17 NITIN SPINNERS LTD. EGM Management Issue 1.0 mn equity shares on preferential basis to promoter group entities at
Rs. 120.5 per equity share
For For The company in November 2017 raised Rs. 1. 08 bn, through a QIP, which reduced the promoters stake from 64.
3% to 53. 4%. The proposed issue promoters will raise another Rs. 120. 5 mn for an equity dilution of ~1. 8%. This
will help the promoters shore up their stake to 54. 2% and help NSL strengthen its capital structure.
15-Dec-17 CASTROL INDIA LTD. Postal Ballot Management Issue one equity share of Rs.5 each as bonus for each equity share held For For Post issuance, the paid-up equity share capital of the company will increase to Rs. 4. 9 bn comprising 989. 1 mn
equity shares of Rs. 5 each. The issuance will result in capitalization of not more than Rs. 2. 5 bn from the
reserves of the company. The bonus issue is expected to increase the liquidity of the equity shares with higher
floating stock and make the equity shares more affordable.
15-Dec-17 CASTROL INDIA LTD. Postal Ballot Management Approval to keep the register and index of members and debenture holders

15-Dec-17 CESC LTD. CCM Management To approve restructuring of CESC Limited’s main businesses (held directly and
through subsidiaries) by housing them into four separate companies with
mirror shareholding, which will be subsequently listed
For For CESC proposes to unlock value by creating four separate companies to house the power generation, power
distribution, retail, and information technologies businesses. The shareholding of these companies will mirror
that of CESC –10 shares held in CESC will receive 5 shares of the power generation business, 6 shares of the retail
business, and 2 shares of the information technology business. Power distribution business will be housed under
CESC. The businesses will be listed subsequently. The restructuring will facilitate enhanced focus on each
business segment, and provide flexibility in accessing capital, which is in the long-term interest of the businesses.
15-Dec-17 TATA METALIKS LTD. Postal Ballot Management Approve related party transactions upto Rs.3 bn with Tata Steel Limited
(holding company) in FY18
For For Tata Metaliks Limited proposes to procure ~40% of its coke requirement from Tata Steel Limited (holding
company) in FY18. The total value of the proposed transaction will be upto Rs. 3 bn. The quantity to be
purchased from Tata Steel Limited will be based on actual price of coal and conversion charge thereby reducing
the exposure to the volatility of coke price. The proposed transaction to be carried out is in the ordinary course
of business and at arms-length.
16-Dec-17 MAHINDRA & MAHINDRA LTD. Postal Ballot Management Issuance of one equity share of Rs. 5.0/- each as bonus for each equity share

18-Dec-17 AKZO NOBEL INDIA LTD. Postal Ballot Management Sale and transfer of the specialty chemicals business undertaking of the
company to its global entity, Akzo Nobel N.V., or an affiliate, via a slump sale,
for Rs.3.2 bn
For For This transaction follows Akzo Nobel’s global strategy to separate its specialty chemicals business from its paints
and coatings business to create two focused and separate businesses. It will be difficult to run the Specialty
Chemicals India business independently without the parent’s support. The company had paid relatively higher
valuation while acquiring the business from its parents and is now expected to sell it at a relatively lower price
when selling back to parent. However, the company has clarified that the specialty chemicals business acquired
in 2012 was primarily involved in manufacturing, whereas currently, almost 70% of the revenues of the specialty
chemicals segment arises from trading operations and the remaining from manufacturing. Consequently, the
business proposed to be transferred now is substantially different from the one existing in 2011, making them
non-comparable in the strictest sense. The sale is in line with the global strategy and will align the specialty
chemicals and paints business along separate verticals.
19-Dec-17 SHRIRAM CITY UNION FINANCE LTD. Postal Ballot Management Alter the Articles of Association (AoA) by inserting new Article 8.10 For For In order to comply with the SEBI circular for issued debt securities, the company needs to group and consolidate
the existing debt securities together. This will require an enabling provision, vide Article 8. 10 to be inserted in
the AoA of the company. The changes in the AoA are not prejudicial to the interest of minority shareholders.

For Abstain More clarity is required.
21-Dec-17 CDSL Postal Ballot Management Approve relevant clauses in the Articles of Association (AoA) which give sponsor

For For At the time of its listing, SEBI had directed Central Depository Services (India) Limited (CDSL) to seek shareholder
approval for clauses in its AoA which gives BSE Limited (BSE), Bank of India, Bank of Baroda and SBI right to
nominate directors on board: BSE can nominate directors in proportion to its shareholding (capped at 40% of
board). Bank of India, Bank of Baroda and SBI each can appoint one director as long as their equity share capital
exceeds Rs. 100 mn. The clauses, which are in line with market practices, will not significantly alter the current
board composition.
21-Dec-17 CDSL Postal Ballot Management To divest 48% of shares in CDSL Commodity Repository Ltd (CCRL) held by CDSL
to BSE Investments Limited and Multi Commodity Exchange of India Limited for
an aggregate consideration of Rs.240 mn
For For CCRL was floated to establish and run a commodity repository on the lines of a securities depository. CCRL began
operations on 30 September 2017. The company proposes to divest 48% in CCRL to BSE (through its subsidiary)
and MCX as strategic partners holding 24% each. The divestment will take place at book value, since the
company currently has marginal operations. CCRL’s aggregate capital is Rs. 500 mn: therefore, CDSL will raise Rs.
240 mn with this stake sale. We believe MCX and BSE as strategic partners will help CCRL grow.
21-Dec-17 CDSL Postal Ballot Management Appoint K.V. Subramanian (DIN 07842700) as Shareholder Director (Non-
Executive Non-Independent)
For For Standard Chartered Bank (SCB) is one of the sponsoring banks of CDSL and is currently holding 7. 18% of the paid-

27-Dec-17 DLF LTD. EGM Management Preferential allotment of 397.7 mn compulsory convertible debentures at
Rs.217.25 each and 138.1 mn warrants at Rs.217.25 each to promoters
For For The preferential allotment is subsequent to the promoter’s commitment to invest substantial proceeds from -
the sale of 33% stake in DLF Cyber City Developers Limited (DCCDL) and the proceeds received from tendering
compulsory convertible preference shares of DCCDL - into the company. Ordinarily, we do not support the
issuance of warrants to promoters as it allows promoters to ride the stock price for 18 months. We make an
exception in this instance because it is
the issuance in the form of warrants is part of an overall transaction that supports a cleaner holding structure.
27-Dec-17 DLF LTD. EGM Management Issuance of 173 mn equity shares on private placement/qualified institutional
placement basis
For For The promoters are required to infuse the sale proceeds of their 33% stake in DCCDL into DLF. To maintain the
25% minimum public shareholding and accommodate the capital infusion from promoters, DLF will necessarily
expand its capital base. Assuming current market price of Rs. 230 per share as the issuance price of securities,
DLF will raise Rs. 39. 8 bn through qualified institutional placement of equity shares. The dilution from the
issuance will be 9% on the extended capital base of the company. All shareholders will be diluted equally.

use the funds to pay Tata Power consideration for the slump sale of its power plants. There is no impact on the
economic interest of Tata Power’s shareholders.

may affect the company’s liquidity position as 75% of the funds earmarked for capex and other capital
requirements are forfeited. In this case, however, the warrants are being issued to non-promoters and the
conversion price of Rs. 186. 48 is at a premium of 17% over the CMP of Rs. 158. 9 on 20 February 2018. Had the
