General Information: Nature of Industry - Microfinance offers poor people access to basic financial services such as loans, savings, money transfer services and micro insurance, according to the Consultative Group to Assist the Poor, or CGAP, an independent policy and research organization. The industry emerged to alleviate poverty on the premise that poor people, like everyone else, need a diverse range of financial services to run their business, build assets and reduce vulnerability to fluctuations in their income. Their needs for financial services have been traditionally met through a variety of financial relationships, mostly informal. Foreign investments - As on March 31, 2012, 66.9% of the paid up share capital was held by foreign investors. II. Information about the appointee: Background details - Mr. M. Ramachandra Rao has been the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of SKS Microfinance Limited with effect from October 4, 2010. Joining the Company as Chief Operating Officer (COO) on October 24, 2006, Mr. Rao was promoted as Deputy Chief Executive Officer with effect from September 7, 2010. 4

Past Remuneration - Prior to assuming the office of MD & CEO, Mr. Rao was Chief Operating Officer of the Company. Remuneration paid as COO was Rs. 117.35 Lakhs for 2009-10. Recognition or awards - Mr. Rao has played a pivotal role in the rapid growth of the Company with the client base from 2.02 lakh borrowers in five states to 73.07 lakh borrowers in 19 states in 2010, within five years of assuming office. During the said period, the number of branches increased from 80 to 2,379. Job profile and his suitability - Mr. Rao, is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Company. He is a Post Graduate in Management Studies (specialization in marketing) from BITS Pilani and has 25 years of experience in retail financial services. Prior to joining the Company, Mr. Rao was associated with ING Vysya Life Insurance, American Express and Esanda Finanz & Leasing Ltd. Remuneration proposed The remuneration proposed to be may to Mr. Rao is as follows: 1. Fixed remuneration - Rs. 123.30 lakh p.a. 2. Car lease - Rs. 2.70 lakh p.a. 3. Other benefits - Rs. 0.02 lakh p.a. (i.e. Health, Accidental & Life Insurance). In addition to the above, Mr. Rao will also be eligible to participate in the Company s variable compensation plan; wherein his target variable pay will be Rs. 54.00 lakh p.a. This payout will be determined by the Board of Directors based on his performance/ achievements. Comparative remuneration profile with respect to industry, size of the company, profile of the position and person - SKS Microfinance is the only listed microfinance Company on BSE and NSE. Pecuniary relationship directly or indirectly with the company, or relationship with the managerial personnel, if any - Mr. Rao does not hold directorship in any other Company and does not have any pecuniary relationship directly or indirectly with the company, other than as disclosed above, or relationship with any other managerial personnel of the Company. III. Other information: Reasons of loss or inadequate profits - The Microfinance industry had its share of uncertainty with the Andhra Pradesh Government promulgating the Microfinance Institutions (Regulation of Money Lending), Ordinance 2010 in October 2010. Subsequently, to the regulatory changes in the Andhra Pradesh without being able to hold centre meetings in which the customers were usually required to repay their loans, MFIs were unable to recover their loans. Recovery rates that were as high as 99.0% plummeted to as low as 10.0%. There was no effective way by which the MFIs could enforce repayments and this became a major concern for the MFI sector in Andhra Pradesh. Steps taken or proposed to be taken for improvement - The Company s business strategy is to increase lending activity in states other than Andhra Pradesh to meet unmet demand-supply gap, diversification of revenue streams and cross selling of products / services; and optimize cost structure. Expected increase in productivity and profits in measurable terms - In July 2011, the Central Government released the Draft MFI Bill for public comment. The Draft MFI Bill was subsequently replaced by the MFI Bill 2012. The MFI Bill 2012, which was presented before the Indian Parliament on May 22, 2012, states that its provisions shall be effective notwithstanding anything inconsistent contained in any other law. If the MFI Bill 2012 is not enacted into law by the Indian Parliament, there exists the possibility of other Indian state governments enacting laws and regulations similar to the A.P.-MFI Ordinance or the A.P.-MFI Act to regulate MFI operations in their respective states. Once this happens, our operations may be subject to even greater regulatory uncertainty, which may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business and prospects. IV.
