While, SES understands that it may not be the intention of the board or NRC to grant such significant portion to a single individual,
however, a theoretical possibility cannot be ruled out. SES is of the opinion that the company should place an absolute cap on the
maximum options to an Individual employee.

SES is of the view that, stock option schemes without absolute cap on the maximum limit of options to be granted to a single employee,
leave room for excessive allotment and disproportionate economic benefit to a single person in an ESOP Scheme.

Further, Shareholders may note that:

SES does not identify an issue in extending the scheme to the employees of its subsidiaries as there exists control of the Company and
the contribution of the subsidiaries are consolidated in the Company’s performance.

However, as SES has identified issues in the approval of Original Scheme in Resolution #3, as there is a theoretical possibility on
extension of potential excessive benefits to an individual employee.

Therefore, in view of the above issue, SES is raising concern on resolution #3. & #4.
