Kirloskar Oil Engines has scheduled investor interactions for August 28, 2026. The company will conduct one-on-one meetings with two major mutual fund houses to discuss its business outlook.

The engagements are part of the firm's compliance with disclosure norms. Management will meet ICICI Pru Mutual Fund in the morning session. A virtual meeting with Franklin Templeton Mutual Fund is scheduled for the afternoon.

Meeting Schedule

The company disclosed the schedule under Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The interactions are subject to change due to exigencies.

Farah Tehmton Irani, Company Secretary and Compliance Officer, confirmed the details in a filing dated August 25, 2026.

Kirloskar Oil Engines has issued a postal ballot notice seeking shareholder approval to increase its employee stock option grant pool ceiling by 1,00,000 options. The amendment expands the total limit from 14,00,000 to 15,00,000 equity shares under the Kirloskar Oil Engines Limited – Employee Stock Option Plan 2019 (KOEL ESOP 2019).

The company disclosed that the existing grant pool of 14,00,000 stock options has been fully utilized. Shareholders holding shares as on the cut-off date of August 14, 2026, are eligible to vote via remote e-voting through National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL). The voting window commences on August 22, 2026, at 9:00 am and concludes on September 20, 2026, at 5:00 pm.

Key Details of the Proposal

The increase in the ESOP pool is designed to help the company attract and retain talent by aligning employee interests with shareholder value. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee recommended the amendment to the Board of Directors.

Eligible beneficiaries include employees working in India or abroad, non-promoter directors, and employees of subsidiary companies, excluding those engaged in financial services such as Arka Fincap Limited. Promoters, directors holding more than 10% equity, and independent directors are excluded from the scheme.

Scheme Features

The KOEL ESOP 2019 involves a new issue of shares upon exercise of options, with no trust involvement. Key terms of the plan remain unchanged except for the increased ceiling:

• Vesting Period: Minimum of one year and maximum of four years from the date of grant.
• Exercise Price: Granted at a discount of up to 40% to the latest available closing price on the stock exchange.
• Exercise Period: Commences from vesting and expires no later than three years from the date of vesting.
• Lock-in: No lock-in period applies to shares allotted upon exercise, subject to insider trading regulations.

The company appointed Mrs. Manasi Paradkar, Practicing Company Secretary, as the scrutinizer for the postal ballot process. Results will be declared on or before September 22, 2026.
