Vedanta Limited has executed a Seventh Deed of Variation to the Trust Deed of the Vedanta Limited ESOS Trust, effective May 1, 2026. This variation, approved by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, pertains to the Vedanta Limited Employee Stock Option Scheme - 2016.
The deed addresses amendments to various clauses of the original trust deed to align with the company's demerger of business verticals, as approved by the National Company Law Tribunal on December 16, 2025. The demerger resulted in the creation of four new entities: Vedanta Aluminium Metal Limited, Malco Energy Limited (to be renamed Vedanta Oil and Gas Limited), Vedanta Iron and Steel Limited, and Talwandi Sabo Power Limited (to be renamed Vedanta Power Limited).
The primary objectives of the variation are to ensure continuity of employee incentives post-demerger and to preserve the economic value of equity-based incentives granted to pre-demerger option grantees. This will be achieved by granting proportionate employee stock options by each of the post-demerger companies under their respective schemes, implemented through secondary acquisition of equity shares by the Trust.
The deed also formalizes the appointment of new trustees: Mr. Rahul Arora, Ms. Preet Sethi, and Mr. Manmeet Singh, effective April 29, 2026. The variation clarifies definitions, purposes of the trust, and obligations related to the scheme of arrangement and post-demerger companies, ensuring that each post-demerger company's obligations remain separate and independent.
