Explanatory Statement pursuant to Sections102 and 110 of the Companies Act, 2013 Resolutions 1 and 2 The equity shares of your Company are listed and actively traded on the National Stock Exchange of India Limited and BSE Limited, and ADS are listed and actively traded on New York Stock Exchange. With a view to encouraging the participation of small investors by making equity shares of the Company affordable, increasing the liquidity of the equity shares and to expand the retail shareholder base, the Board in its meeting held on April 25, 2017 considered and approved a bonus issue of one equity share for every one existing equity share held, and a bonus issue (viz., stock dividend on ADS) of one ADS for every one existing ADS held, respectively, as on a record date to be determined by the Company. The ratio of equity shares underlying the ADS held by an American Depositary Receipt holder would remain unchanged. The bonus issue of equity shares would, inter alia, require appropriate adjustments with respect to all the stock options/RSUs of the Company under Wipro Employee Stock Option Plan 2000, ADS Stock Option Plan 2000, Wipro Restricted Stock Unit Plan 2004, ADS Restricted Stock Unit Plan 2004, Wipro Restricted Stock unit Plan 2005, Wipro Employee Restricted Stock Unit Plan 2007 and Wipro Equity Reward Trust Employee Stock Purchase Plan 2013, pursuant to the SEBI (Share Based Employee Benefits) Regulations, 2014 and any amendments thereto from time to time, such that all stock options/RSUs which are available for grant and those already granted but not exercised as on record date shall be proportionately adjusted. Presently, the Authorised Share Capital of your Company is Rs. 610,00,00,000/- (Rupees Six Hundred and Ten Crores) divided into 291,75,00,000/- (Two Hundred and Ninety One Crores and Seventy Five Lakhs) equity shares of Rs.21- (Rupees Two) each, 2,50,00,000 (Two Crore Fifty Lakhs) preference shares of Rs. 10/ (Rupees Ten) each and 1,50,000 (One Lakh Fifty thousand) 10% optionally convertible cumulative preference shares of Rs.100/- (Rupees One Hundred) each. It is proposed to increase the Authorised share capital to Rs.1126,50,00,000/- (Rupees One Thousand One Hundred and Twenty Six Crores and Fifty Lakhs) by creation of additional 258,25,00,000 (Two Hundred and Fifty Eight Crores and Twenty Five Lakhs) equity shares of Rs.2/- (Rupees Two) each. The increase in Authorised share capital as aforesaid would require consequential amendments to the existing Clause V of the Memorandum of Association of the Company. The increase in Authorised Share Capital and amendments to relevant clauses of the Memorandum of Association of the Company and issue of bonus equity shares, the stock dividend on ADS, are subject to Members’ approval in terms of Sections 61 and 63 of the Companies Act, 2013 and any other applicable statutory and regulatory approvals. Accordingly, the resolutions 1 and 2 of the Postal Ballot Notice seek Members’ approval for increase in Authorised share capital and consequential amendments to Memorandum of Association of the Company and capitalization of the amount standing to the credit free reserves for the purpose of issue of bonus equity shares/stock Dividend on ADS on the terms and conditions set out in the resolution. No Director, Key Managerial Personnel or their relatives are in any way concerned or interested in the Resolutions 1 and 2 of the Notice except to the extent of their shareholding and outstanding stock options/RSUs in the Company. The Board recommends the resolutions 1 and 2 for approval of the Members. By Order of the Board For Wipro Limited M Sanaulla Khan Company Secretary Date: April 25, 2017 Place: Bangalore
