Exim Routes Limited has scheduled its first Extra-Ordinary General Meeting (EGM) for July 13, 2026, to seek shareholder approval for the appointment of an independent director and the ratification and modification of its employee stock option plan. The company aims to increase the option pool under the Exim Routes ESOP Plan 2025 from 5,51,296 options to 15,00,000 options to support talent acquisition and retention.
The Board of Directors appointed Mr. Shubham Khandelía as an Additional Director in the capacity of Independent Director (Non-Executive) on May 08, 2026. The EGM will seek approval for his appointment for a first term of five consecutive years, ending on May 07, 2031. Mr. Khandelía is a Chartered Accountant with expertise in forecasting, business-case evaluations, and performance monitoring.
Shareholders will also vote on the ratification of the pre-IPO ESOP scheme, which was initially approved on May 23, 2025. Following the company's listing, regulatory compliance requires ratification of the scheme under the SEBI (Share Based Employee Benefits and Sweat Equity) Regulations, 2021 before any fresh grants are made.
The proposed modification involves increasing the maximum number of Employee Stock Options available for grant. This expansion is intended to provide greater flexibility for rewarding existing employees and attracting new talent. The company confirms that the modifications are not detrimental to the interests of employees or option holders.
Another resolution seeks approval to extend the ESOP benefits to eligible employees of existing and future subsidiary companies, whether based in India or outside India. This move aims to foster employee ownership across the group structure. The Board of Directors recommends all special resolutions for approval by the members.
The EGM will be held through Video Conferencing (VC) and Other Audio-Visual Means (OAVM). Remote e-voting will commence on July 10, 2026, at 09:00 A.M. and conclude on July 12, 2026, at 05:00 P.M. The cut-off date to determine shareholder eligibility is July 6, 2026.
