Item No. 8

 

The original decision to establish the Registered Office of the Bank in the State of Gujarat (Vadodara) was pursuant to Reserve Bank of India (RBI) norms of licensing then prevailing. On December 12, 2019 the Bank had requested the RBI to grant approval for shifting of the Registered Office from the State of Gujarat to State of Maharashtra and No Objection under Section 49C of the Banking Regulation Act,1949 for alteration of the Memorandum of Association of the Bank. Based on the application made, the Reserve Bank of India being the principal regulatory authority, has granted its No Objection to the proposal to shift the Registered Office of the Bank vide its letter No. DOR.PSBD No. 8060 /16.01.128/2020-21 dated April 23, 2020, subject to compliance with the guidelines, directions and statutory provisions as applicable in this regard.

 

The Board of Directors at their Meeting held on May 9, 2020 after duly recording the above communication from RBI also recorded that the shifting of the registered office from the State of Gujarat to the State of Maharashtra will provide administrative convenience and would also rationalise the Banking operations and is not in any manner detrimental to the interest of the pubIic, shareholders, creditors,employees,or other stakeholders in any manner whatsoever.

 

The Company's existing Registered Office is located at ICICI Bank Tower, Near Chakli Circle, Old Padra Road, Vadodara 390 007, Gujarat which is within the local limits of Gujarat. The Company proposes to shift the Registered Office to its Corporate Office at ICICI Bank Towers,Bandra Kurla Complex, Mumbai 400 051, Maharashtra which is within the local limits of Maharashtra.

The decision of the Board is well supported by the following facts:

 

The Key Managerial personnel and majority of the Senior Management personnel of the Bank function from the Corporate Office in Maharashtra and the meetings of the Board/Committees are also mostly held in Mumbai,Maharashtra.

 

The significant increase of shareholders across India becoming shareholders of the Bank due to the enabling nature of holding shares in dematerialised form as against concentration of shareholders when a larger proportion of shares were physically held. Presently 99.7% of shares of the Bank are held in electronic form. In terms of city with highest concentration of shareholders of the Bank, Mumbai city ranks the highest and the shareholder servicing also happens from Mumbai.

 

The advent of the Companies Act, 2013 and introduction of aspects such as electronic voting and now culminating in enabling provisions under regulation allowing participation of shareholders across India in meetings of the shareholders through the Audio Visual Mode. In 2019, the Bank had commenced webcast facility to enable the shareholders across India to view the proceedings of AGM. In the current year,on account of Covid-19 scenario and enabling MCA Circulars, the Bank is arranging for VC/OAVM for the shareholders to participate in the AGM.This enables the shareholders to participate in the AGM irrespective of his/her geographical presence.

 

Shareholder queries, clarifications and requests are now being electronically catered to and answered agnostic to shareholder location. Moreover, our 5284 branches across India are equipped to support the shareholders for any service related matter. For the shareholders based in Gujarat, 378 branches are operational where the shareholders may walk in and get assistance. In Vadodara City itself there are 27 branches where the shareholders can obtain assistance for any matter.

 

Corporate actions such as dividend payment and electronic credit and all aspects of shareholder servicing are also performed largely through electronic means.

 Annual Report 2019-20

 

 

NOTICE

 

 

In sum every activity that could be performed by visiting the Registered Office is now being performed electronically and is now open to all shareholders across India, without having to necessarily visit the Registered Office for fulfilment.

 

Given the above, the shift would enhance administrative and operational efficiency significantly. Further, it is to noted that this shift of the registered office will not impact the nature of the business being conducted or the staff working in Gujarat.

 

The RBI has granted No Objection vide its letter dated April 23, 2020 for shifting of Registered Office of the Bank from the State of Gujarat to the State of Maharashtra. As per the provisions of Sections 12, 13 and other applicable provisions, if any, of the Companies Act, 2013 and rules made thereunder and subject to the approval of Central Government (power delegated to Regional Director) and/ or such regulatory approvals/permission/sanctions as may be necessary or required under any law for the time being in force,such shifting of Registered Office requires the Bank to alter its Memorandum of Association (MOA) and to obtain necessary approval of the Members by way of special resolution.

 

In view of the MCA General Circular dated May 5, 2020 regarding conduct of AGM through VC/OAVM, where it has been advised that other than ordinary business,only those items of special business which are considered to be unavoidable by the Board may be transacted. It may be noted that the Bank had already initiated the process for shifting of registered office in December 2019 when the Bank submitted an application to RBI for its No Objection in this regard. RBI granted its No Objection vide letter dated April 23, 2020.

 

The shifting of registered office from one state to other is a prolonged process and if the Bank choses to take up this item in the AGM scheduled in the year 2021, there would be a further delay of one more year from the receipt of the RBI's No Objection and Bank approaching the members. To avoid this time lag,it has been thought prudent to take up the same in the current year notice and seek Members approval.

 

In light of the above facts, the approval of the Members is sought for shifting of the Registered Office of the Bank from the State of Gujarat to the State of Maharashtra and consequently for substituting Clause II of the MOA.

 

A copy of the proposed amended MOA and the approval granted by RBI would be available for inspection in electronic mode.

 

The Board recommends the Resolution at Item No. 8 of the accompanying Notice for approval of the Members of the Bank.

 

None of the Directors, Key Managerial Personnel of the Bank and their relatives are concerned or interested, financially or otherwise, in the passing of this resolution except to the extent of their shareholding, if any, in the Bank.

Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, the Depositary (the “Depositary”), has not reviewed the enclosed, and expressly disclaims any responsibility for, and does not make any recommendation with respect to, the Bank or the matters and/or transactions described or referred to in the enclosed documentation. Furthermore, neither the Depositary nor any of its officers, employees, directors, agents or affiliates controls, is responsible for, endorses, adopts, or guarantees the accuracy or completeness of any information provided at the Bank's request or otherwise made available by the Bank and none of them are liable or responsible for any information contained therein.

 

Registered Holders have no voting rights with respect to the Shares or other Deposited Securities represented by their American Depositary Shares. The instructions of Registered Holders shall not be obtained with respect to the voting rights attached to the Shares or other Deposited Securities represented by their respective ADSs. In accordance with the Governmental Approval, the Depositary is required, at the direction of the Board of Directors of the Bank (the “Board”), to vote as directed by the Board.

 

The matters referred to in the attached are being made with respect to the securities of an Indian company. The proposed action is subject to the disclosure requirements of India, which are different from those of the United States.

 

It may be difficult for you to enforce your rights and any claim you may have arising under the U.S. federal securities laws, since the issuer is located in India, and some or all of its officers and directors may be residents of India. You may not be able to sue an Indian company or its officers or directors in an Indian court for violations of the U.S. securities laws. It may be difficult to compel an Indian company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a U.S. court's judgment.

 

Capitalized terms used in this notice but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Deposit Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2000 (as amended) between the Bank, the Depositary and all Registered Holders and Beneficial Owners from time to time of Receipts issued thereunder.
