Nuvama Wealth Management has intimated the stock exchanges regarding the publication of advertisements in newspapers intimating the dispatch of its Postal Ballot Notice. The advertisements were published on July 2, 2026, in The Financial Express (all India editions) and Navshakti (all editions). The notice seeks shareholder approval for the Nuvama Wealth Management Limited Employee Stock Appreciation Rights Scheme 2026 (ESAR 2026) and special resolutions to revise the remuneration of Mr. Ashish Kehair, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Shiv Sehgal, Executive Director.
The ESAR 2026 aims to incentivize eligible employees across the company, its subsidiaries, and associate companies by granting up to 1,37,00,000 ESARs, representing approximately 7.5% of the current outstanding paid-up share capital. The settlement is linked to the appreciation component rather than the full value of the underlying equity shares, with an estimated dilution of approximately 3.0% to 3.5% based on an assumed annual share price appreciation of 25%. The grant horizon is approximately 4 to 5 years, with vesting periods ranging from 1 to 6 years and an exercise period of 1 to 5 years.
The pricing formula for the ESARs will be equal to the market price of the equity shares, subject to a discount of up to 10% as determined by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. The scheme is compliant with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Share Based Employee Benefits and Sweat Equity) Regulations, 2021.
