Corporate

Infosys was incorporated in Pune, in 1981, as Infosys Consultants Private Limited, a private limited company under the Companies Act, 1956. In 1983, the corporate headquarters were relocated to Bengaluru. The name of the Company was changed to Infosys Technologies Private Limited in April 1992 and to Infosys Technologies Limited in June 1992, when the Company became a public limited company. We made an initial public offering in February 1993 and were listed on stock exchanges in India in June 1993. Trading opened at ₹ 145 per share, compared to the IPO price of ₹ 95 per share. In October 1994, we made a private placement of 5,50,000 shares at ₹ 450 each to Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs), Financial Institutions (FIs) and body corporates.

In March 1999, we issued 20,70,000 American Depositary Shares (ADSs) (equivalent to 10,35,000 equity shares of par value ₹ 10 each) at US$ 34 per ADS under the ADS Program, and these ADSs were listed on the NASDAQ National Market.

The above data is unadjusted for stock split and bonus shares. In July 2003, June 2005 and November 2006, we issued secondary-sponsored American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) of US$ 294 million, US$ 1.1 billion and US$ 1.6 billion respectively.

During fiscal 2012, the name of the Company was changed from Infosys Technologies Limited to Infosys Limited to mark the transition from being a technology services provider to a business transformation partner to our clients.

During fiscal 2013, we delisted our ADSs from NASDAQ, and listed them in the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), Euronext London and Euronext Paris. In March 2018, the Company announced its intention to voluntarily delist its ADSs (ISIN US4567881085) from the Euronext Paris and Euronext London exchanges. The primary reason for seeking the proposed delisting is the low average daily trading volume of Infosys ADSs on these exchanges, which is not commensurate with the related administrative requirements. During the five-year period of the Company’s listing on Euronext Paris and Euronext London, the average daily trading volume of the Company’s ADSs was significantly lower than its average daily trading volume on the NYSE. The proposed delisting is subject to approval from Euronext Paris S.A. and Euronext London Limited. There will be no change in the Infosys share / ADS count, capital structure and float as a result of the proposed delisting from the above exchanges. Infosys ADSs will continue to be listed on the NYSE under the symbol ‘INFY’ and investors can continue to trade their ADSs on the NYSE as before.

Subject to the approval of the proposed delisting by Euronext Paris S.A. and Euronext London Limited, a sale facility will be provided by the Company to the holders of ADSs trading on the Euronext Paris and Euronext London exchanges. ADS holders who opt for it will be able to sell their ADSs on the NYSE in accordance with Euronext Paris and Euronext London rules. ADS holders who do not opt for it can continue to retain their ADSs and will be able to trade their ADSs on the NYSE. Further, until the date of completion of the proposed delisting, the ADS holders can continue to trade their ADSs on the Euronext Paris and Euronext London exchanges.

Dematerialization of shares and liquidity

Infosys shares are tradable in the electronic form only. We have established connectivity with the National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) and Central Depository Services (India) Limited (CDSL) through Karvy Computershare Private Limited, our registrars and share transfer agents. The International Securities Identification Number (ISIN) allotted to our shares under the Depository System is INE009A01021.

As on March 31, 2018, 99.82% of our shares were held in dematerialized form and the rest in physical form.

We were the first company in India to pay a one-time custodial fee of ₹ 44.43 lakh to NSDL. Consequently, our shareholders do not have to pay depository participants the custodial fee charged by NSDL on their holding.

Shares held in demat and physical mode as on March 31, 2018 are as follows :

Category	Number of		% to total equity
	cases(1)	shares
Demat mode	7,78,721	218,01,57,710	99.82
Physical mode	397	39,56,547	0.18
Grand total	7,79,118	218,41,14,257	100

(1) The total number of cases will not tally with the number of shareholders, since shareholders can have multiple demat accounts with the same PAN.

We request shareholders whose shares are in the physical mode to dematerialize their shares and update their bank accounts with the respective depository participants to enable us to provide better service.

Investor awareness

We have provided a synopsis of the rights and responsibilities of shareholders on our website, https://www.infosys.com/investors/shareholder-services/faqs.html. We encourage you to read the details provided and seek answers to questions that you may have regarding your rights as a shareholder.

The Company is committed towards promoting effective and open communication with all the stakeholders, ensuring consistency and clarity of disclosure at all times. We aim to communicate with investors throughout the year by providing frequent interaction through a variety of forums including meetings, earning calls, investor conferences and management presentations. We strive to be accessible to both institutional and other investors, and proactively encourage all shareholders to participate at Annual General Meeting (AGM). Every quarter, the Company holds results briefings for investors. The Company also participates in investor conferences held both in India and overseas, in an ongoing effort to communicate directly with investors.

In order to educate the shareholders and with an intent to protect their rights, the Company also sends persistent reminders to the shareholders to claim the unclaimed dividend / shares before it is transferred to Investor Education and Protection Fund.

During the year, the Company engaged a third-party consultant to gather investor feedback towards the Company’s objectives of enhancing its corporate governance standards.

Secretarial audit

Pursuant to Section 204 of the Companies Act, 2013 and rules thereunder, the Board of Directors of the Company appointed Parameshwar G.

The Secretarial Audit Report confirms that the Company has complied with all applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013, Depositories Act, 1996, and all the Regulations and Guidelines of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), as applicable to the Company. The audit also covers the reconciliation on a quarterly basis, the total admitted capital with NSDL and CDSL, and the total issued and listed capital. The audit has confirmed that the total issued / paid-up capital is in agreement with the aggregate total number of shares in physical form and the total number of dematerialized shares held with NSDL and CDSL. Further, the Company complies with the applicable Secretarial Standards issued by the Institute of Company Secretaries of India.
