Item No. 10

 

The Non-Executive Directors in private sector banks were hitherto permitted to be paid only sitting fees and reimbursement of expenses for participation in the Board and other meetings. Reserve Bank of India (RBI) issued guidelines on June 1, 2015 regarding compensation of non-executive Directors (excluding part-time Chairman) of private sector banks and permitted the payment of profit-related commission upto ₹1,000,000 per annum to Non-Executive Directors. The guidelines clearly articulate the fact that there is a need to bring in professionalism to the boards of banks and in order to enable banks to attract and retain professional directors, it is essential that such directors are appropriately compensated. The guidelines also stipulated that the Board of Directors, in consultation with its Remuneration Committee,

should formulate and adopt a comprehensive compensation policy for the Non-Executive Directors (other than the part-time non-executive Chairman) and while formulating the policy, the Board shall ensure compliance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013. It may be noted that the non-executive part time Chairman of private sector banks are entitled to receive a fixed remuneration subject to approval of RBI.

 

With the advent of the Companies Act, 2013 (‘the Act’), introduction of new Corporate Governance norms and SEBI (Listing obligations and Disclosure Requirements), Regulations, 2015 the roles and responsibilities of the Non-Executive Directors have undergone significant change requiring enhanced time and attention required from the Non-Executive independent directors.

 

Considering all of the above, the Board at its Meeting held on September 16, 2015 (based on the recommendations of the Board Governance, Remuneration & Nomination Committee), approved the payment of profit related commission of ₹ 1,000,000 each, per annum to each non-Executive Director of the Bank other than part-time Chairman and the Director nominated by the Government of India), in addition to sitting fees and reimbursement of expenses for attending the meetings of the Board of Directors and/or other meetings, subject to approval of Members and such other regulatory approvals as may be required. The Board also amended the Compensation Policy (Remuneration Policy) framed in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act, 2013 as well as RBI guidelines to align with the requirements of the aforesaid guidelines.

 

Approval of the Members is sought subject to availability of net profits at the end of each financial year for payment of commission upto ₹ 1,000,000 each, per annum to each non-Executive Director of the Bank other than part-time Chairman and the Director nominated by the Government of India from the financial year ended March 31, 2016 onwards. The total commission payable shall be within the limits as prescribed under Section 197 of the Companies Act, 2013 and shall not exceed one percent of the net profits of the Bank computed in accordance with the manner laid down in Section 198 of the Companies Act, 2013.

 

Your Directors recommend the Resolution at Item No. 10 of the accompanying Notice for approval of the Members of the Bank.

 

All the Non-Executive Directors (other than the Non-Executive part-time Chairman and Government Nominee Director) of the Bank and their relatives are concerned/interested in passing of this resolution. None of the other Directors, Key Managerial Personnel of the Bank and their relatives are in any way concerned or interested, financially or otherwise in the passing of the Resolution at Item No. 10 of the accompanying Notice.

 

A copy of the RBI guidelines dated June 1, 2015 and the Remuneration Policy of the Bank would be available for inspection at the Registered Office of the Bank on all working days from 11:00 a.m. IST to 1:00 p.m. IST from the date hereof upto July 11, 2016 and also at the Meeting.

 

As per the requirements of Secretarial Standard 2 issued by the Institute of Company Secretaries of India, please find appended in Annexure II details of the Non-Executive Independent Directors who are entitled for commission for FY2016.

 

Item No. 11

Section 42 of the Companies Act, 2013 and its underlying rules viz Companies (Prospectus and Allotment of Securities) Rules, 2014 (including any modification(s) or re-enactment(s) thereof) provide that a Company shall make a private placement of its securities only if the proposed offer of securities or invitation to subscribe to securities has been previously approved by the Members of the Company, by a Special Resolution, for each of the Offers or Invitations. It further provides that the explanatory statement annexed to the notice for the general meeting shall disclose the basis or justification for the price (including premium, if any) at which the offer or invitation is being made. It also provides that in case of offer or invitation for non-convertible debentures, it shall be sufficient if the company passes a prior special resolution once in a year for all the offers or invitation for such debentures during the year.

 

At the Annual General Meeting held on June 29, 2015, the Members had approved a limit of ₹ 50,000 crore for borrowings by way of securities including but not limited to bonds and non-convertible debentures on private placement basis. The Bank has borrowed ₹ 6,500 crore (Rupees six thousand five hundred crore) by way of issue of non-convertible debentures (NCDs) on private placement basis since the last AGM till May 13, 2016. Considering the same, the Bank has assessed its fund requirements and it is proposed that the borrowing limits for the purpose of Section 42 read with

 

9

 

Notice

 

 

the rules relating to this Section for borrowing by way of non-convertible securities including but not limited to bonds and NCDs be reduced for the current year and fixed at ₹ 25,000 crore (Rupees twenty five thousand crore). This would form part of the overall borrowing limits under Section 180(1)(c) of the Companies Act, 2013 of ₹ 250,000 crore (Rupees two hundred and fifty thousand crore) approved by the Members at the AGM held on June 30, 2014. The resolution under Section 42 will be valid for a period of one year from the date of passing this resolution. The pricing of the non-convertible securities including but not limited to bonds and non-convertible debentures (NCDs) depends primarily upon the rates prevailing for risk free instruments, rates on other competing instruments of similar rating and tenor in the domestic market, investors’ appetite for such instruments and investor regulations which enable investments in such instruments. Accordingly, during the validity of this resolution, the Bank proposes to issue non-convertible securities including but not limited to bonds and non-convertible debentures (NCDs) by way of private placement at upto 300 basis points (bps) above the rates prevailing for risk free instruments as represented by the respective tenor rupee sovereign bonds for issuances in rupee market. The pricing for each of the issuance/program would be approved by the Board or a Committee of Board.

 

Your Directors recommend the Resolution at Item No. 11 of the accompanying Notice for approval of the Members of the Bank.

 

None of the Directors, Key Managerial Personnel of the Bank and their relatives are in any way concerned or interested, financially or otherwise in the passing of the Resolution at Item No. 11 of the accompanying Notice.
