Background and Rationale for Re-designation

Mr. Arvind Uppal was appointed as an Independent Director of the Company with effect from 17th August, 2021, and has been on the Board since 2005. The explanatory statement notes that the Company is in a transitionary phase following the reduction of Whirlpool Corporation's shareholding through Whirlpool Mauritius Limited from a majority position, with Whirlpool Corporation currently holding 39.76% shareholding. In this context, the Company has constituted a Strategic Overview Committee to support the Board and management in addressing governance matters.

Given Mr. Uppal's extensive leadership experience of over 36 years and deep familiarity with the Whirlpool business and ecosystem, the Board noted that his envisaged role going forward includes closer involvement in matters requiring interaction with the single largest shareholder. Based on the recommendation of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, the Board at its meeting held on 6th May, 2026, approved — subject to member approval — the re-designation of Mr. Uppal from Non-Executive Independent Director to Non-Executive Non-Independent Director, whose office shall be liable to retire by rotation.
