- Voting Rights: Prudential will abstain from voting on special resolutions that do not adversely impact its rights during the transition period.
- Board Representation: Prudential will arrange for the resignation of its nominee director upon approval of the reclassification application and will not nominate a replacement until the transaction closes or the IRDAI directs otherwise.
- Future Appointment: Once reclassification is effective, the Bank agrees to vote for the appointment of a director nominated by Prudential, provided Prudential holds 10% shareholding and does not hold promoter status in another Indian life insurance company.
- Branding: Prudential will support the Company in changing its name to remove "Prudential" if required and will coordinate on brand and domain usage.
