is headquartered in Chennai, India. It manufactures active pharmaceutical
ingredients (APIs), their intermediates and enteric coating excipients with a
significant presence in some key generics. Shasun has created a strong
product portfolio, building on its R & D Expertise, regulatory capabilities
and multi scale production capacities. Shasun has also emerged as a key
player in various service segments in the pharmaceutical field besides APIs
and intermediaries, and is strengthening its offer of contract research,
custom synthesis, contract manufacturing and contract formulation services
to clients.

Today, Shasun is one of the largest producers of Ibuprofen worldwide. The


company offers derivatives of Ibuprofen like Ibuprofen Sodium, Ibuprofen
Lysinate and S+Ibuprofen. It is also one of the major producers of
Ranitidine and Nizatidine in the world. Its products are exported to countries
across North America, Europe, Asia and Latin America.

Shasun in its endeavour to become a true one-stop shop for global pharma
companies, is evolving its business model to become a complete service
provider, offering services right from the discovery stage to manufacturing
formulations.

1
The company has recently added finished formulations capability as
forward integration, and has invested in large facility to cater to the
international regulated market. It has tied up with multinational companies
in the formulations space wherein it will be developing and supplying
products for the US market.

The recent acquisition of the business and facilities of Rhodia Pharma


Solutions by Shasun's wholly owned subsidiary Shasun Pharma Solutions
Ltd (SPSL), UK equipped the company to evolve as a technology based
service provider than as a contract manufacturing and research provider. Its
services include innovative process research and development, rapid
response small scale manufacture for clinical trial supply and full scale
commercial manufacture of advanced intermediates and API’s, all with
seamless technology transfer with and without cGMP. The formulation unit
at Puducherry has been approved by US FDA.

By integrating its facilities in India and UK, the company is trying to offer
the benefits of operations in both the countries to its clients. The company
has aligned its facilities so that while research can be conducted in India,
development and manufacturing in kilo labs and pilot plant can be
conducted either in UK or India and the optimal mix could be decided based
on the regulatory, IP and cost. The company is planning to set up a multi-
product pilot plant facility at Vizag, Andhra Pradesh, focusing on Contract
Manufacturing Services business. In FY06, CRAMS business revenue has
reached INR 3430 million.

SECRATARIAL DUTIES

. The Company Secretary in today's world is a senior corporate officer with


wide-ranging responsibilities, who serves as a focal point for communication
with the board of directors, senior management and the company's
shareholders, and who occupies a key role in the administration of critical
corporate matters. The Company Secretary is often confidant and counselor
to the Chief Executive Officer and other members of senior management,
especially on corporate governance affairs. The work done by the secretarial
department in SHASUN CHEMICALS AND DRUGS LTD are as follows

BOARD AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS


Being responsible for the smooth operation of corporate meetings requires
planning and attention to detail, ranging from assuring that agendas are
logically ordered and not overcrowded for the time available, to knowing
how to find directors and committee members on short notice when special
meetings are needed. To do it well, the Company Secretary needs a good
working knowledge of the corporate, legal and regulatory matters which

10
may come up at a meeting, and of the business of the corporation and its
operations.
The Company Secretary plays a significant role in determining the agenda of
meetings, especially in alerting the Chief Executive Officer, or board and
committee chairmen, to topics which should be brought to the attention of
the board or committee. And the Company Secretary's knowledge of
corporate, legal and regulatory matters is frequently called upon during
board or committee deliberations.
The company Secretary also drafts and distributes minutes of board and
committee meetings. Minute taking and drafting is an art, requiring excellent
writing skills, an understanding of what is important to record, and a
sensitivity to issues that require special attention and particularly careful
treatment.

ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS [AGM]


The company Secretary plays a major role in the annual meeting of
shareholders - a very significant event for most large public corporations.
Preparation and distribution of the proxy statement and notice of meeting (as
well as preparation of the directors' and officers' questionnaires needed to
prepare the proxy statement) usually are some of the major functions. The
Secretary may also be involved in preparing and distributing the Annual
Report. Production of these documents requires a knowledge of federal and
state law, and of the rules of the stock exchanges on which the company's
stock is listed. It also requires a high level of skill in coordinating input from
lawyers, personnel and finance groups, as well as directors and senior
officers; the knack of dealing with transfer agents, printers, and mailing
houses; and the ability to remain calm despite inevitable last-minute changes

11
that threaten to ruin "do-or-die" production schedules, not to mention
budgets. Negotiations with shareholders regarding shareholder proposals are
also frequently the responsibility of the Corporate Secretary. These
negotiations involve meetings with proponents, discussions with
management and the board, and working with the Securities and Exchange
Commission through the "no-action" process.
The Secretary works closely with the Chairman and senior management, as
well as with the Chairman's speech writer, in preparing the script and agenda
for the annual meeting. Another essential function for the Corporate
Secretary is to help directors and management prepare to respond to
shareholder questions at the meeting by creating briefing materials and
alerting directors and management to "hot-button" issues. The Secretary is
also generally responsible for coordinating security arrangements, thinking
through and briefing the Chairman on how to handle disruptive or
emergency situations at the meeting. The Secretary is usually involved in
soliciting proxies, either directly or by working closely with the
corporation's proxy solicitors, to help achieve a quorum and deliver the vote.
And the Secretary is also responsible for assuring that the vote is properly
and impartially tabulated, and that results are duly reported in the minutes of
the meeting.

CORPORATE RECORDS

When working with corporate records, the company Secretary must know
what documents and records need to be created and what matters they
should, or should not, contain. It is the Secretary who needs to consider "Are
the proper delegations of authority in place?" "How should this be recorded
in the minutes (or should it)?" "Does this action conflict with or supersede a
prior action or policy?", etc.

12
With respect to record maintenance, the Secretary must assure not only that
records are filed and protected and, where applicable, indexed and kept up-
to-date, but also that they are accessible. A considerable amount of a
Secretary's time is spent organizing, retrieving, explaining and certifying
corporate documents. In addition, the Secretary is often required to certify
officer signatures, affix the corporate seal to various corporate documents,
and attest to their legitimacy. The Secretary must also assure that important
corporate records are retained in accordance with applicable law and sound
business practice. s a senior corporate officer, the Secretary must execute a
significant number of documents on behalf of the corporation, and may have
liability for the matters contained therein. The Secretary must therefore
understand the significance and substance of a wide variety of matters, and
may need to develop procedures to assure the accuracy of many different
types of documents.The company Secretary may also be Secretary to the
corporation's subsidiaries, and be responsible for their corporate records. In
corporations with a large number of subsidiaries, managing these records
adds a great deal of complexity to the job.

STOCK TRANSFER
Maintaining shareholder records, and providing for the transfer or
replacement of stock certificates, is ultimately the responsibility of the
Corporate Secretary. In most major corporations, however, this function is
handled by a separate unit or by an outside transfer agent, with the Corporate
Secretary acting as the corporate liaison.

SECURITIES MARKETS
The Corporate Secretary normally serves as the corporate liaison with the
various securities markets on which the company's shares are listed, and he
or she may be responsible for assuring corporate compliance with stock

13
market requirements. The Corporate Secretary may also be heavily involved
in preparing listing or other market agreements, notices, and other
documents and reports which the corporation must send to various securities
exchanges or markets.

DIRECTOR, OFFICER, AND SHAREHOLDER


CONCERNS
With their prominent role in so many corporate matters, the Corporate
Secretary is a central person to whom directors, officers and shareholders
turn for practical assistance as well as guidance. Much of a Corporate
Secretary's time is spent working with directors, officers and shareholders on
a wide variety of matters, and these constituencies expect a great deal of
attention from the Corporate Secretary's office.

Directors

The Corporate Secretary is the primary liaison between the corporation's


directors and management. As such, a Corporate Secretary may need to:
• help orient new directors to the corporation and the board;
• advise and keep directors informed of corporate and legal
responsibilities;
• assist with compliance issues;
• coordinate and organize the flow of information to directors;
• obtain from directors information needed for legal and regulatory
compliance;
• assist directors with travel arrangements to and from meetings;
• advise management on director compensation;

14
• advise the Chairman of the Board on committee assignments for
directors;
• keep management informed of director views and preferences;
• provide resources for and coordinate board evaluations;
• assist the Chairman on the selection of new directors;
• advise management and directors on potential director interlock
issues.

Officers

The Corporate Secretary provides services to senior officers similar to those


provided to directors: advising and keeping senior officers informed of
corporate legal responsibilities; assisting with compliance issues; obtaining
information needed for legal and regulatory compliance; assisting with travel
arrangements to and from corporate meetings; advising the Chairman or
Chief Executive Officer on management committee assignments for officers;
keeping the Chairman or Chief Executive Officer informed of senior officer
views and preferences; alerting senior officers to matters which should be
brought to the attention of other officers or the board or board committees;
and providing advice and counsel to officers preparing presentations and
memoranda to be presented to the board or committees. In addition, in many
corporations, the Corporate Secretary administers the corporation's stock
option and other compensation programs for executives.

Shareholders

The Corporate Secretary is often responsible for shareholder relations. The


shareholder relations function usually involves responding to shareholder
inquiries; directing or assisting in preparing and distributing reports and
other materials and shareholder communications; maintaining statistical

15
information on the shareholder base; developing programs for large
individual or institutional shareholders; and alerting the board and senior
management to shareholder concerns. The Corporate Secretary is the
principal corporate contact for most shareholders, and may be able to
influence how shareholders view management's responsiveness.
In some organizations, the Corporate Secretary is primarily responsible for
individual or small institutional shareholders, and large institutional
investors are handled by an investor relations group reporting to Finance,
Corporate Communications or some other department. The Corporate
Secretary may be responsible for the company's stock watch programs,
alerting management to unusual trading in the company's securities.

COMPLIANCE

Depending on the corporation and the background of the Corporate


Secretary, he or she may be responsible for or play a major role in preparing
and filing registration statements and reports to the Securities and Exchange
Commission, insider trading reports, filings and amendments of state
corporate documents, documents related to qualifications to do business, and
other regulatory or legal filings. The Corporate Secretary is often the person
responsible for pre-clearing purchases and sales of the corporation's
securities by directors and officers. The Corporate Secretary may also play a
role in preparing corporate communications on matters of significance to the
corporation, including essential disclosures.
In some corporations, the Corporate Secretary is also responsible for
compliance with state escheat laws and, occasionally, for general legal
compliance for the company as a whole. Some Corporate Secretaries are
involved in administering their corporation's code of corporate conduct and

16
developing and administering other corporate-wide policies and policy
manuals.
