SCRUTINIZER’S REPORT

June 05, 2021

The Chairman

Wipro Limited

Regd. Office: Doddakannelli, Sarjapur Road,

Bengaluru- 560 035

Sir,

 

1.

The Board of Directors of the company at its meeting held on April 15, 2021 appointed me as a Scrutinizer for scrutinizing the postal ballot voting including e-voting process.

 

2.

I submit my report as under:

As per the General Circular Nos 14/2020 dated April 8, 2020, 17/2020 dated April 13, 2020, 22/2020 dated June 15, 2020, 33/2020 dated September 28, 2020, and 39/2020 dated December 31, 2020 in relation to “Clarification on passing of ordinary and special resolutions by companies under the Companies Act, 2013 and the rules made thereunder on account of the threat posed by COVID—19” issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Government of India (the “MCA Circulars”) and due to difficulty in dispatch of Postal Ballot notice, Postal Ballot form/self-addressed envelope etc., by post or courier, on account of threat posed by COVID-19 pandemic situation, the Company has sent the Postal Ballot Notice dated April 15, 2021 on May 05, 2021 by email only to the members whose email ids were available with the Company / RTA.

 

   Page 1 of 3    LOGO


The notice of postal ballot was sent to the members whose name(s) appeared on the Register of Members / list of Beneficial Owners as received from National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) / Central Depository Services (India) Limited (CDSL) as on cut-off date i.e., Friday, April 30, 2021.

 

2.1

Particulars of votes cast through electronic means only have been entered in the register separately maintained for the purpose.

 

2.2

Since there was no voting by physical postal ballot form, the question of keeping them under my safe custody before commencing the scrutiny does not arise.

 

2.3

The votes cast through electronic means were unblocked on Friday, June 04, 2021 at 5.04 P.M.

 

2.4

Votes cast through electronic means were scrutinized and the shareholding was matched/confirmed with the Register of Members of the company/list of beneficiaries as on Friday, April 30, 2021.

 

2.5

Votes cast through electronic means up to 5.00 PM of June 04, 2021 being the last time and date fixed by the company for voting through electronic means were considered for my scrutiny.

 

2.6

Since the voting on Postal Ballot process was conducted only through e-voting, reporting on number of envelopes containing postal ballot form received after due date and up to the date of this report does not arise.    

 

2.7

Since the voting on Postal Ballot process was conducted only through e-voting, reporting on number of envelopes containing postal ballot forms returned undelivered also does not arise.

 

   Page 2 of 3    LOGO


2.8

Since the voting on Postal Ballot process was conducted only through e-voting, reporting on finding of defaced or mutilated ballot paper too does not arise.

 

3.

A summary of votes cast through electronic means is given in Annexure I.

 

4.

I have emailed all the e-registers and records relating to e-voting for the safe custody to the Company Secretary.

 

5.

You may accordingly declare the result of e-voting done by the members of the Company on the resolution mentioned in the Postal Ballot Notice dated April 15, 2021.

Thanking you,

For V. Sreedharan & Associates
