Auditor Appointment and Governance

Pursuant to Reserve Bank of India (RBI) guidelines for NBFCs with asset sizes exceeding ₹15,000 crore, Northern Arc Capital must appoint joint statutory auditors. The company proposes appointing M/s.

The appointment is for a three-year term commencing from the conclusion of this AGM until the 21st AGM in FY29-30.

Executive Remuneration Revisions

Additionally, shareholders are asked to ratify a Special Discretionary Payout of ₹2.10 crore for FY25-26, recognising his contribution to achieving 22% YoY growth in lending AUM and 33% YoY growth in Profit After Tax.

ESOP Plan Implementation Change

A special resolution will amend the Northern Arc Employee Stock Option Plan 2016 to shift implementation from the Trust Route to the Direct Route. This procedural change aims to reduce administrative burdens and operational delays associated with share allotment through the Northern Arc Employee Welfare Trust. Under the direct route, equity shares will be allotted directly to eligible employees upon exercise of options. The total ESOP pool remains at 94,78,967 options, with 7,05,267 ungranted options available for future grants.
