Turtlemint Fintech Solutions approved the appointment of M/s. SG & Associates as its secretarial auditor and ratified modifications to its employee stock option scheme during a board meeting on August 31, 2026. The resolutions require shareholder approval at the upcoming annual general meeting.
The company appointed SG & Associates, a Mumbai-based firm holding Peer Review Certificate No. 7492/2025, for a five-year term covering financial years 2026-27 through 2030-31. The Audit Committee recommended the appointment, which also includes the fixation of remuneration.
ESOP Scheme Modifications
The board ratified and modified the "Turtlemint Fintech Solutions Limited Employees Stock Option Scheme - 2025". Key changes include extending eligibility to employees of group companies, including subsidiaries and associate companies. The total number of options that may be granted under the scheme shall not exceed 1,21,93,045.
The amendments introduce several operational adjustments:
- Eligibility now extends to employees of the company’s group companies, subsidiaries, and associate companies.
- The Committee, upon recommendation by the CMD and COO, will approve eligible employees for grants.
- Acceptance of grants is deemed automatic unless an employee rejects it within 30 days.
- The exercise period begins after vesting and continues until employment ends, with no option vesting before one year from the grant date or four years from listing.
- Nominees of deceased employees can exercise options within 365 days, extended from the previous 180-day limit.
The scheme mandates compliance with SEBI (Share Based Employee Benefits and Sweat Equity) Regulations, 2021, using the fair value method for accounting. Compensation costs will be booked over the vesting period.
Annual General Meeting
The company will convene its 11th Annual General Meeting on September 24, 2026, at 4:00 pm via video conferencing or other audio-visual means. The AGM notice will seek approval for the secretarial auditor appointment and the modified ESOP scheme details.
