SEBI Informal Guidance in the Matter of KCP Limited

KCP Vietnam Industries Limited (‘KCP Vietnam’), incorporated in Vietnam, is a ‘material subsidiary’ of KCP Limited (‘KCP’). The governing body of KCP Vietnam is a members’ council instead of a board of directors. Under the SEBI LODR, it is mandatory that at least one independent director on the board of a listed entity in India will be director on the board of an unlisted material subsidiary, including a material subsidiary incorporated outside India. Accordingly, SEBI, in its informal guidance dated January 9, 2020 clarified that KCP would be required to appoint one of its independent directors on the members’ council of KCP Vietnam.
