EPL Limited has issued a Corrigendum to its Postal Ballot Notice dated February 23, 2026. This Corrigendum provides additional information regarding Item No. 3 of the original notice, specifically concerning the explanatory statement for the appointment of Mr. Hemant Bakshi.
The Corrigendum clarifies the details related to Mr. Bakshi's participation in employee incentive plans and stock option schemes. It specifies that Mr. Bakshi would be entitled to participate in employee stock option plans, including the Employee Stock Option Scheme 2020/2025, as determined by the Board or NRC. Importantly, it clarifies that this entitlement is to the limit of maximum stock options the Company can grant to any identified employee, which includes the 19,23,319 stock options already granted to Mr. Bakshi under the Employee Stock Option Scheme 2020 and the Employee Stock Option Scheme 2025.
The original Postal Ballot Notice sought approval for the appointment of Mr. Anand Kripalu as a Non-Executive, Non-Independent Director effective April 1, 2026, and the appointment of Mr. Hemant Bakshi as a Director and as the Managing Director & Global Chief Executive Officer, both effective January 1, 2026. The Corrigendum supplements the information related to Mr. Bakshi's appointment and his stock options.
The remote e-Voting period, which commenced on February 25, 2026, will be available until 5:00 PM (IST) on March 26, 2026. The Corrigendum will be available on the company's website and the websites of BSE, NSE, and NSDL. Members who have already cast their vote and wish to modify it based on the Corrigendum can do so by emailing the scrutinizer before the voting deadline.
