Shareholder information

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. On July 5, 2018, we voluntarily delisted ADSs from Euronext Paris and Euronext London and ADSs were removed from the operation of Euroclear France on July 10, 2018. The primary reason for voluntary delisting from Euronext Paris and Euronext London was the low average daily trading volume of Infosys ADSs on these exchanges, which was not commensurate with the related administrative expenses. Infosys ADSs will continue to be listed on the NYSE under the symbol “INFY” and investors can continue to trade their ADSs on the New York Stock Exchange.

Unclaimed dividend

Section 124 of the Companies Act, 2013, read with Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority (Accounting, Audit, Transfer and Refund) Rules, 2016 (“the Rules”), mandates that companies transfer dividend that has remained unclaimed for a period of seven years from the unpaid dividend account to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF). Further, the Rules mandate that the shares on which dividend has not been paid or claimed for seven consecutive years or more be transferred to the IEPF.

The following table provides a list of years for which unclaimed dividends and their corresponding shares would become eligible to be transferred to the IEPF on the dates mentioned below :

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 Fintech 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, 2019, 99.86% 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 (folio-based) as on March 31, 2019 are as follows :

(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. The number of shareholders based on PAN as on March 31, 2019 is 9,19,720.

We request shareholders whose shares are in the physical mode to dematerialize their shares and update their bank accounts and email IDs 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 in the 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 IEPF.
