Option Scheme called ZLL ESOP 2010 - AMENDED 2015
Scheme (ESOP Scheme) in accordance with the SEBI (Share
Based Employee Benefits and Sweat Equity) Regulations,
2021 for grant of stock options to its eligible employees
of the Company and its Subsidiaries. The Nomination
and Remuneration Committee of the Board of Directors
of the Company, inter alia, administers and monitors the
Employee Stock Option Scheme of the Company.

During the year under review, the Members of the
Company through Special Resolution passed at the Annual
General Meeting of the Company held on September 26,
2024, approved modification to the ESOP Scheme of the
Company. The modification consisted of enhancement of
ESOP Pool from 1,60,07,451 Stock Options to 2,28,26,490
Stock Options convertible into 2,28,26,490 equity shares of
face value of H 1 each, constituting 7% of the Paid-up Equity
Share Capital as on August 8, 2024 (i.e, 32,60,92,725 Equity
Shares of H 1 each), with each such option conferring a
right upon the employee to apply for one equity share of
the Company, in accordance with the terms and conditions
of such issue. The Scheme was further amended to enable
issuance of Options at exercise price equivalent to nominal/
face value or such other value as may be determined by the
Board of Directors or its Committees.

On November 11, 2024, 30,000 Stock Options were
granted to an employee of the Company pursuant to
the ESOP Scheme.

These options when vested as per the terms and conditions
of the Scheme, would entitle the option holder to apply for
and be allotted equal number of Equity Shares of face value
of H 1/- each at an exercise price of H 1 per option respectively.

The intrinsic value of the grant is Nil and hence there is no
charge to the Profit and Loss account. These options will
vest in a phased manner over a period of 3 years after
the expiry of 1 year from the date of the grant and may
be exercised within a maximum of four years from the
date of vesting, subject to terms and conditions of the
Scheme and the grant letter. The Directors believe that this
Scheme will help create long term value for shareholders

and operate as a long-term incentive to attract and retain
