As the tenure of Mr. Kamath as approved by the shareholders as well as RBI would conclude before the AGM in 2014, the Board at its Meeting held on April 26, 2013 considered the re-appointment of Mr. K. V. Kamath as Chairman for a further period of five years from May 1, 2014 to April 30, 2019. Mr. K. V. Kamath has been associated as a Director with the ICICI Group (Group) since 1996 and under his leadership and guidance, the Group transformed itself into a diversified, technology driven financial services group having leadership positions across banking, insurance and asset management in India as well as a growing international presence. He has made an immense contribution to the growth and development of the Bank and the Board felt it imperative that the benefit of his expert guidance continue to be available to the executive management as well as to the Board in terms of strategic leadership and governance.

Hence, the Board of Directors, at its Meeting held on April 26, 2013 (based on the recommendation of the Board Governance, Remuneration & Nomination Committee) subject to the approval of RBI, shareholders and such other consents or permissions as may be required to be taken approved the re-appointment of Mr. K.

In terms of Section 257 of the Companies Act, 1956, the Company has received a notice in writing along with deposit of Rs. 500, from a Member signifying the intention to propose the candidature of Mr. K. V. Kamath for the office of director on conclusion of his term on April 30, 2014.

The Board felt that it would be appropriate to decide on a maximum scale for the next five years within which the annual remuneration can be revised.

The Board accordingly, subject to other approvals as already highlighted earlier, approved a revised remuneration threshold of upto Rs. 5,000,000 per annum within which remuneration as approved by the Board from time to time may be paid to Mr. K. V. Kamath with effect from May 1, 2014. Any revision in remuneration even within this limit would require the prior approval of RBI.

Mr. K.

He was elevated to the Board in February 2009 as an Executive Director and is responsible for Human Resources, Customer Service & Operations. He is responsible for nurturing key institutions such as The Institute for Finance, Banking & Insurance and ICICI Manipal Academy for Banking & Insurance.

The Board was of the view that the vast experience of the above Directors across the Bank's and the Group’s businesses and functions would be invaluable in providing stability while at the same time charting the Bank's future strategic course in the emerging global environment.

Hence, the Board of Directors, at its Meeting held on April 26, 2013 (based on the recommendation of the Board Governance, Remuneration & Nomination Committee) approved the re-appointments of the above directors as detailed below:

1.
Re-appointment of Ms. Chanda Kochhar as Managing Director & CEO for a period of five years effective April 1, 2014 to March 31, 2019.
2.
Re-appointment of Mr. N. S. Kannan as Executive Director (designated as Executive Director & CFO) for a period of five years effective May 1, 2014 to April 30, 2019.
3.
Re-appointment of Mr. K. Ramkumar as Executive Director for a period of five years effective February 1, 2014 to January 31, 2019.

In terms of Section 257 of the Companies Act, 1956, the Company has received notices in writing from some members alongwith a deposit of Rs. 500 for each Director as mentioned above signifying their intention to propose the candidature of the above directors on the conclusion of their respective terms in the respective designations with which they are conferred with currently.

The Board at its above Meeting also noted that the salary range within which the remuneration was being paid to Directors had been approved by the shareholders at the time of their respective appointments in the year 2009. The current salary ranges for the positions of Managing Director & CEO and Executive Directors have remained the same since 2007 when the salary range for the Managing Director & CEO was set as Rs. 700,000 - Rs. 1,350,000 per month and the salary range for an Executive Director was set as Rs. 300,000 - Rs. 1,000,000 per month. The Bank follows the practice of seeking approval of the shareholders for a minimum and maximum salary range within which the Board is conferred with the authority to approve the monthly salary as well as decide the annual increments to be given to the directors. On an average the level of annual increments recommended by the Board in the basic salary is in the range of 15% over the last two years.

The Bank being governed by the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 as well as RBI guidelines is subject to a stringent regulatory framework whereby any benefit conferred whether in monetary or non-monetary form would be subject to approval of RBI. The Bank accordingly seeks the approval of RBI as and when the Board recommends increments, allowances, performance bonus, stock options and any other remuneration component, even within the ranges already approved by the shareholders.

Considering the time period of almost six years since 2007 when the salary ranges were last revised, the Board (on the basis of the recommendation of the Board Governance, Remuneration & Nomination Committee) at its Meeting held on April 26, 2013 had recommended a revision in the remuneration (including supplementary allowance) payable to Ms. Chanda Kochhar, Mr. N.

The Bank’s approach to compensation is intended to drive meritocracy within the framework of prudent risk management. Compensation is linked to corporate performance, business performance and individual performance considering also the developments in the operating environment. The structure of remuneration for wholetime Directors seeks to ensure that fixed pay is reasonable, taking into account all factors including industry practice, and remuneration is reflective of risk outcomes. The fixed cash compensation levels are also benchmarked with other Indian private sector banks. The above revisions are in line with the compensation for comparable positions in other Indian private sector banks and are significantly moderate relative to the compensation for comparators in the non-banking industry and for directors in similar positions.

The Directors recommend the adoption of the Resolutions at Item Nos. 11-13 of the Notice. The information contained in the Notice and the Explanatory Statement appended thereto may be treated as an abstract under Section 302 of the Companies Act, 1956.
