Dear Sir,
RE:  SCRUTINIZERS’ REPORT

I, Alwyn D’Souza of Alwyn D’Souza & Co, Company Secretaries appointed as Scrutinizer by the Board of Directors of ICICI Bank Limited (Bank) for scrutinizing the Postal Ballot process including e-voting for seeking approval of the shareholders on the resolutions as mentioned in the Notice dated September 29, 2014 for sub-division of equity shares and consequential amendments to the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Bank and wish to submit my report as hereunder:

The Bank has appointed National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) to provide e-voting facility to its members.

 
2.
The Postal Ballot Notice was sent to the Members whose names appear on the Register of Members as on the relevant date of September 26, 2014. The dispatch of the Postal Ballot Notice including Postal Ballot Form and Business Reply postage prepaid envelope was completed on October 16, 2014 for the Members whose e-mail IDs are not registered with the Bank. For the Members whose e-mail IDs are registered with the Bank, the Postal Ballot Notice was sent through electronic means. A Public Notice to that effect was released in Business Standard - all editions, Vadodara Samachar - Vadodara Edition, Indian Express - Vadodara Edition (English Language) and in Vadodara Samachar - Vadodara Edition (Regional Language-Gujarati) newspapers on October 18, 2014.

 
 

 
 
 
3.
The e-voting period commenced on 18th October, 2014 from 9.00 AM and concluded on 17th November, 2014 at 6.00 PM.

 
4.
Voting rights of members have been reckoned in proportion to their share of the paid up equity share capital of the Bank as on September 26, 2014. Section 12(2) of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 caps the voting rights of a shareholder of the Bank upto 10% of the total voting rights of all shareholders. In line with the same, the shareholding of Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (Depositary to the ADS holders) which was 33,67,45,242 equity shares and which formed 29.10% of the total equity shares (1,15,71,55,035 equity shares) as on the relevant date i.e. September 26, 2014  was reckoned only to the extent of 11,57,15,504 equity shares i.e.10% of the total equity shares for the purpose of electronic voting.

 
5.
Particulars of all the postal ballot forms received from the members at the address of the Registrar and Share Transfer Agents (RTA) viz. 3i Infotech Limited, Tower #5, 3rd Floor, International Infotech Park, Vashi Railway Station Complex, Vashi, Navi Mumbai 400 703 as provided in the self-addressed postage prepaid Business Reply Envelope upto the cut off time of 6 p.m. on November 17, 2014 have been entered in a register separately maintained for the purpose and were considered for the purpose of my scrutiny.

 
6.
The votes received through e-voting upto 6 p.m. on November 17, 2014 were downloaded from the NSDL website and unblocked.

 
7.
The postal ballot forms received upto 6 p.m  on November 17, 2014 were considered for my scrutiny.

 
8.
The names of the members, their shareholding and Specimen Signatures on the physical postal ballot forms have been verified with the data and specimen signature records maintained by the RTA/as provided by the depositories.

 
9.
In respect of members who have cast their votes through both physical ballot and e-voting, the votes cast through e-voting have been considered as valid.

 
10.
I have not found any mutilated Postal Ballot Forms.

 
 

 
 
 
11.
In general and for your information, I carried out such scrutiny as I considered necessary for the purpose of Postal Ballot including e-voting.

Based on all the above, I have compiled the results of the voting by postal ballot/e-voting and the same is furnished as under:
