ICICI Bank Ltd Chairman Speech

During fiscal 2022, ICICI Bank stayed committed to its articulated strategy of targeting risk-calibrated growth in core operating profit, while ensuring resilience against potential risks and being well- poised to capitalise on market opportunities.

Fiscal 2022 was marked by a strong recovery in economic activities, bringing to the fore the inherent strengths in the Indian economy. Despite the setback from the Covid-19 pandemic earlier, and with variants of the virus and localised lockdowns during the year, the Indian economy was resilient and saw a strong rebound and progress towards normalcy. The recovery in the Indian economy was broad-based, and supported by the rollout of the vaccination programme. Amidst these positive developments, however, the year ended with new challenges of high energy prices and inflation, geopolitical tensions, supply side disruptions and a likely slowdown in global growth. Nonetheless, we remain optimistic on India's potential.

During fiscal 2022, ICICI Bank stayed committed to its articulated strategy of targeting risk-calibrated growth in core operating profit, while ensuring resilience against potential risks and being well-poised to capitalise on market opportunities. The strong financial performance and portfolio quality that the Bank has delivered in the last three years demonstrates the efficacy of the strategy. The healthy growth in core operating profit and profit after tax in fiscal 2022 reflect the strong underlying performance of the business. The Bank grew its market share across key segments, while maintaining credit discipline and a robust balance sheet. The decline in credit costs during the year was a further pointer to the effective risk management framework adopted by the Bank over the last few years.

A key focal point for business growth is to create value for customers. The Bank is pursuing this through a customer-centric approach, underlined by the principles of 'Fair to Customer, Fair to Bank' and 'One Bank, One ROE'. These value drivers lend confidence to the Bank's focus on 'customer-360' and becoming a trusted financial partner for its clients. However, the dynamism, creativity and commitment of our employees are a key driver of the Bank's success. Working as one team to serve customers and facilitating cross-functional collaboration will differentiate the Bank and enable value-unlocking of our franchise.

A core enabler to meet the Bank's strategic objectives is technology. The initiatives in developing a strong technology architecture, the focus on platforms and digitisation, and continuous investments in innovations and security features are enabling the Bank to respond to the needs of customers with agility. The Bank's mobile applications, iMobile Pay and InstaBIZ, have now become universal and open architecture, enabling the Bank to expand the number of people and businesses that it can serve. In today's dynamic environment, it is imperative to be responsive to new technologies, digital processes and design customer digital journeys with speedy time-to-market. The Bank's competencies will only strengthen as it progresses on transforming from Bank to Bank^Tech.

The Bank made further progress in the area of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG), with the adoption of a Board-approved ESG policy and formalising Board oversight on ESG by including it within the remit of the Risk Committee. Further, to understand the ESG considerations of stakeholders, the Bank undertook a survey to identify ESG issues believed to be material for the Bank by our stakeholders. The top five issues that emerged were compliance with regulations and other laws, digital innovation/transformation, data privacy and cybersecurity, corporate governance & business ethics, and transparency & disclosures. An approach to integrate ESG and climate change risks in the Bank's lending and risk management has also been developed. The Bank will remain cognizant of the structural shifts in a decarbonising world, and will aim to build mitigants while capitalising on the opportunities that would emerge within India's national goals and commitments.

The Bank endeavours to promote long-term sustainable growth in the economy through responsible corporate citizenship. The dedicated focus of ICICI Foundation on creating a positive social and environmental impact has led to several projects being undertaken across the country. The efforts made in the areas of healthcare and environmental sustainability, especially in rural and remote areas, have yielded positive impact.

The Board is committed to maintaining highest standards of corporate governance and will continue to review and strengthen these practices. During the year, the Board approved the Risk and Compliance Culture Policy, anchored on five key principles. The Board and its Committees conducted regular reviews to assess the Bank's response to opportunities and challenges and evaluating the impact on the business and loan portfolio. Ensuring organisational resilience and responsiveness to the evolving technological developments and cybersecurity are priority areas of focus. The Board will continue to maintain integrity, fairness and transparency in our engagement with all our stakeholders.

Looking ahead, uncertainties have resurfaced as economies will have to tackle issues of inflation, monetary policy actions and tightening global liquidity conditions. A slowdown in global economic growth seems inevitable in the immediate period, with likely spill over to India. The Bank will focus on remaining strong and resilient while seeking to maintain sustainable, risk-calibrated and profitable growth in business.

We would like to thank all our stakeholders and look forward to your continued support.

With best wishes,

Girish Chandra Chaturvedi

Chairman

The Bank prepares its financial statements in accordance with the applicable accounting standards, RBI guidelines and other applicable laws/regulations.

This assessment is initiated subsequent to the finalisation, completion of audit and publication of audited financial statements for a financial year and typically occurs a few months after the financial year-end. As a part of this assessment, RBI separately reviews asset classification and provisioning of credit facilities given by the Bank to its borrowers. The divergences, if any, in classification or provisioning arising out of the supervisory process are given effect to in the financial statements in subsequent periods after conclusion of the exercise.

UPDATE ON COVID-19

The Covid-19 pandemic resulted in a nation-wide lockdown in India in April-May 2020, which substantially impacted economic activity. The subsequent easing of lockdown measures led to gradual improvement in economic activity and progress towards normalcy from the second half of fiscal 2021. The second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic in April-May 2021 led to the re-imposition of localised/ regional lockdown measures in various parts of the country. The lockdown measures were lifted gradually, as the second wave subsided from June 2021 onwards. The impact of the third wave of Covid-19 pandemic in December 2021-January 2022 was mild, though it had led to re-imposition of some localised/regional restrictive measures. During fiscal 2022, there was significant progress in the vaccination programme, with 1.84 billion vaccine doses administered till March 31, 2022, including 23 million precautionary doses. Currently, while the number of new Covid-19 cases have reduced significantly and the Government of India has withdrawn most of the Covid-19 related restrictions, the future trajectory of the pandemic may have an impact on the results of the Bank and the Group.

In these challenging times, the Bank's employees have shown strong resilience and the ability to adapt to changing circumstances. The health and well-being of employees and customers was of utmost importance to the Bank. A focused programme to vaccinate all employees and their dependent family members was undertaken by the Bank in association with hospital partners during fiscal 2022. Additionally, for small district and hub locations, local tie-ups for an in-hospital vaccination drive were also established. The planned drives included not just ICICI Bank employees and their dependents, but also service partners including security guards and IT support personnel.

The Bank continues to see opportunities to grow and strengthen its franchise. A range of digital products and services were launched during fiscal 2022. The Bank launched 'ICICI STACK for Corporates' which offers comprehensive solutions to corporates and their ecosystem comprising channel partners, dealers, vendors, employees and other stakeholders. The Bank introduced "Merchant STACK" which offers an array of banking and value-added services to retailers, online businesses and large e-commerce firms. InstaBIZ, the Bank's mobile banking app for small and medium enterprise customers, was made interoperable, that is, all benefits of the app are now available to all merchants including those who do not have a current account with the Bank. Further, through the InstaBIZ app, non-ICICI Bank account holders can avail instant sanction of overdraft facility and instant opening of current account digitally through video KYC. There was a significant increase in adoption of iMobile Pay from customers who do not have an account with the Bank.

As part of corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives, the Bank focussed on strengthening the health infrastructure at hospitals by providing equipment and machines and other health amenities. The Bank and ICICI Foundation worked extensively in supporting the efforts to fight against the pandemic, and spent an amount of Rs 1.00 billion during fiscal 2022.

Remuneration disclosures as required under RBI guidelines

The RBI circular on "Compensation of wholetime Directors/Chief Executive Officers/Risk takers and Control function staff etc." requires the Bank to make following disclosures on remuneration on an annual basis in their Annual Report:

COMPENSATION POLICY AND PRACTICES

(A) Qualitative Disclosures

a) Bodies that oversee remuneration.

• Name, composition and mandate of the main body overseeing remuneration

The Board Governance, Remuneration and Nomination Committee (BGRNC/Committee) is the body which oversees the remuneration aspects. The functions of the Committee include recommending appointments of Directors to the Board, identifying persons who are qualified to become Directors and who may be appointed in senior management in accordance with the criteria laid down and recommending to the Board their appointment and removal, formulate a criteria for the evaluation of the performance of the whole time/independent Directors and the Board and to extend or continue the term of appointment of independent Directors on the basis of the report of performance evaluation of independent Directors, recommending to the Board a policy relating to the remuneration for the Directors, Key Managerial Personnel, Material Risk Takers (MRTs) and other employees, recommending to the Board the remuneration (including performance bonus, share-linked instruments and perquisites) to wholetime Directors (WTDs) and senior management, approving the policy for and quantum of variable pay payable to members of the staff including senior management, key managerial personnel, material risk takers and formulating the criteria for determining qualifications, positive attributes and independence of a Director, framing policies on Board diversity, framing guidelines for the Employee Stock Option Scheme (ESOS) and deciding on the grant of the Bank's stock options to employees and WTDs of the Bank and its subsidiary companies.

• External consultants whose advice has been sought, the body by which they were commissioned, and in what areas of the remuneration process

During the year ended March 31, 2022, the Bank employed the services of a reputed consulting firm for market benchmarking in the area of compensation, including executive compensation.

• Scope of the Bank's remuneration policy (eg. by regions, business lines), including the extent to which it is applicable to foreign subsidiaries and branches

The Compensation Policy of the Bank, as last amended by the BGRNC through resolution dated July 12, 2021 and the Board at its meeting held on July 15, 2021 covers all employees of the Bank, including those in overseas branches of the Bank. In addition to the Bank's Compensation Policy guidelines, the overseas branches also adhere to relevant local regulations.

• Type of employees covered and number of such employees

All employees of the Bank are governed by the Compensation Policy. The total number of permanent employees of the Bank at March 31, 2022 was 103,010.

b) Design and structure of remuneration processes

• Key features and objectives of remuneration policy

The Bank has under the guidance of the Board and the BGRNC, followed compensation practices intended to drive performance within the framework of prudent risk management. This approach has been incorporated in the Compensation Policy, the key elements of which are given below.

o Effective governance of compensation: The BGRNC has oversight over compensation. The Committee defines Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for WTDs and equivalent positions and the organisational performance norms for variable pay based on the financial and strategic plan approved by the Board. The KPIs include both quantitative and qualitative aspects defined with sub parameters. The BGRNC assesses organisational performance and based on its assessment, it makes recommendations to the Board regarding compensation for WTDs, senior management and equivalent positions and variable pay for employees, including senior management and key management personnel.

• Alignment of compensation philosophy with prudent risk taking: The Bank seeks to achieve a prudent mix of fixed and variable pay, with a higher proportion of variable pay at senior levels and no guaranteed bonuses. Compensation is sought to be aligned to both financial and non- financial indicators of performance including aspects like risk management, other assurance areas and customer service. The Bank's employee stock option scheme aims at aligning compensation to long-term performance through stock option grants that vest over a period of time. Compensation of staff in audit, compliance and risk control functions is independent of the business areas they oversee and depends on their performance assessment.

• Changes, if any, made by the remuneration committee in the firm's remuneration policy during the past year, and if so, an overview of any changes that were made

During the year ended March 31,2022, the Bank's Compensation Policy was reviewed and amended by the BGRNC and Board on April 21, 2021 to align with the revised RBI circular on 'Guidelines on Compensation of Whole Time Directors/ Chief Executive Officers/Material Risk Takers and Control Function staff' dated November 4, 2019.

The policy was amended through BGRNC resolution dated July 12, 2021 which was approved by the Board at its meeting held on July 15, 2021 in order to align the rules of deferred cash bonus payment, incase of demise or permanent disability of an employee, with the Employee Stock Option Scheme and also to align the policy with the RBI Circular dated April 26, 2021 on 'Corporate Governance in Banks - Appointment of Directors and Constitution of Committees of the Board'.

• Process followed by the Bank to ensure that the risk and compliance employees are remunerated independently of the businesses they oversee

The compensation of staff engaged in control functions like Audit, Risk and Compliance depends on their performance, which is based on achievement of the key goals of their respective functions. They are not assessed on business targets.

c) Ways in which current and future risks are taken into account in the remuneration processes.

• Key risks that the Bank takes into account when implementing remuneration measures

The Board approves the Enterprise Risk Management framework for the Bank. The business activities of the Bank are undertaken within this framework. The risk framework includes the Bank's risk appetite and the limits framework. The Bank's KPIs which are applicable to WTDs & equivalent positions as well as employees (excluding control functions), incorporate relevant risk management related aspects. For example, in addition to performance indicators in areas such as risk calibrated core operating profit (profit before provisions and tax excluding treasury income), performance indicators include aspects such as asset quality. The BGRNC takes into consideration all the above aspects while assessing organisational and individual performance and making compensation-related recommendations to the Board.

• Nature and type of key measures used to take account of these risks, including risk difficult to measure

The annual Key Performance Indicators and performance evaluation incorporate both qualitative and quantitative aspects including, asset quality and provisioning, risk management framework, stakeholder relationships, customer service and leadership development.

• Ways in which these measures affect remuneration

Every year, the financial plan/targets are formulated in conjunction with a risk framework with limit structures for various areas of risk/lines of business, within which the Bank operates. To ensure effective alignment of compensation with prudent risk taking, the BGRNC takes into account adherence to the risk framework in conjunction with which the financial plan/targets have been formulated. The Bank's KPIs which are applicable to WTDs and equivalent positions as well as employees (excluding control functions), incorporate relevant risk management related aspects. For example, in addition to risk calibrated core operating profit, performance indicators also include aspects such as asset quality. The BGRNC takes into consideration all the above aspects while assessing organisational performance and making compensation-related recommendations to the Board.

• The nature and type of these measures that have changed over the past year and reasons for the changes, as well as the impact of changes on remuneration.

The nature and type of these measures have not changed over the past year and hence, there is no impact on remuneration.

d) Ways in which the Bank seeks to link performance during a performance measurement period with levels of remuneration

• Main performance metrics for Bank, top level business lines and individuals

The main performance metrics include risk calibrated core operating profit (profit before provisions and tax, excluding treasury income), asset quality metrics (such as provisions in absolute terms and as a percentage of core operating profit), regulatory compliance, risk management processes, stakeholder relationships, customer service and leadership development.

• Methodology followed whereby individual remuneration is linked to the Bank-wide and individual performance

The BGRNC takes into consideration above mentioned aspects while assessing performance and making compensation-related recommendations to the Board regarding the performance assessment of WTDs and equivalent positions.

• The measures that the Bank will in general implement to adjust remuneration in the event that performance metrics are weak, including the Bank's criteria for determining 'weak' performance metrics

The Bank's Compensation Policy outlines the measures the Bank will implement in the event of a reasonable evidence of deterioration in financial performance. Should such an event occur in the manner outlined in the policy, the BGRNC may decide to apply malus/clawback on none, part or all of the relevant variable compensation.

e) Ways in which the Bank seeks to adjust remuneration to take account of the longer term performance

• The Bank's policy on deferral and vesting of variable remuneration and, if the fraction of variable remuneration that is deferred differs across employees or groups of employees, a description of the factors that determine the fraction and their relative importance

The variable compensation is in the form of share-linked instruments (including stock options) or cash or a mix of cash and share- linked instruments (including stock options). The quantum of variable pay for an employee does not exceed a certain percentage (as stipulated in the compensation policy) of the total fixed pay in a year. The proportion of variable pay to total compensation is higher at senior levels and lower at junior levels. At least 50% of the compensation is variable for WTDs, CEO and MRTs as a design. However, they can earn lesser variable pay based on various performance criteria. For WTDs, CEO and MRTs, a minimum of 60% of the total variable pay is under deferral arrangement (deferment). Additionally, at least 50% of the cash component of the variable pay is under deferment. If the cash component is under Rs 2.5 million, the deferment is not applicable.

• The Bank's policy and criteria for adjusting deferred remuneration before vesting and (if permitted by national law) after vesting through claw back arrangements

The deferred portion of variable pay pertaining to the assessment year or previous year/s (as defined in the policy) is subject to malus, under which the Bank prevents vesting of all or part or none of the unvested variable pay in the event of the assessed divergence in the Bank's provisioning for NPAs or in the event of a reasonable evidence of deterioration in financial performance or in the event of gross misconduct and/or other acts as mentioned in the policy. In such cases (other than assessed divergence), variable pay already paid out may also be subjected to clawback arrangements, as defined in the compensation policy.

f) Different forms of variable remuneration that the Bank utilises and the rationale for using these different forms

• Forms of variable remuneration offered. A discussion of the use of different forms of variable remuneration and, if the mix of different forms of variable remuneration differs across employees or group of employees, a description of the factors that determine the mix and their relative importance The variable compensation is in the form of employee stock options or cash or a mix of cash and stock options. The Bank pays performance linked retention pay (PLRP) to its front-line staff and junior management. PLRP aims to reward front line and junior managers, mainly on the basis of skill maturity attained through experience and continuity in role which is a key differentiator for customer service. The Bank pays performance bonus and stock options to relevant employees in its middle and senior management. The variable pay payout schedules are sensitive to the time horizon of risks as defined in the policy.

The Bank ensures higher proportion of variable pay at senior levels and lower variable pay for front-line staff and junior management levels.

SEBI issued an Adjudication Order on September 12, 2019, imposing a penalty of Rs 500,000 each (totalling to Rs 1.0 million) under Section 15HB of the Securities and Exchange Board of India Act, 1992 and Section 23E of the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956 on the Bank for delayed disclosure of an agreement made on May 18, 2010 relating to merger of erstwhile Bank of Rajasthan with the Bank. The Bank had filed an appeal against SEBI's Order with the Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT) and SAT vide its order converted the monetary penalty imposed on the Bank to warning.

Subsequently, SEBI had filed an appeal with the Supreme Court of India ("Supreme Court") against the SAT order pertaining to the Bank. Separately, the Bank had also filed an appeal with the Supreme Court against the SAT order. The matter was heard by the Supreme Court wherein the Supreme Court directed an interim stay on the operation of the SAT orders. The Bank subsequently filed counter affidavit before the Supreme Court. To bring closure to the matter, the Bank filed the settlement application on January 6, 2021, under SEBI (Settlement Proceedings) Regulations, 2018 pursuant to which the Bank has paid the settlement amount to SEBI. The Bank filed the applications seeking for disposal of the civil appeal matters pending before the Supreme Court which were heard on January 4, 2022 and Supreme Court vide its order dated January 4, 2022 disposed off all the appeals in view of the settlement between the parties. SEBI vide their email dated May 12, 2022 has communicated that in view of the Order of the Hon'ble Supreme Court, the matter stands settled in respect of the appeals as mentioned in the said order.

ii. The Reserve Bank of India, by an order dated May 3, 2021, imposed a monetary penalty of Rs 30.0 million on the Bank. This penalty was imposed under the provisions of Section 47A (1)(c) read with Section 46(4)(I) of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 for shifting certain investments from HTM category to AFS category in May 2017. The Bank had transferred two separate categories of securities on two different dates from HTM to AFS in April and May of 2017, which it believed was permissible as per Master Circular on Prudential Norms for Classification, Valuation and Operation of Investment Portfolio by Banks dated July 1,2015.

The Bank was levying charge of Rs 100/- plus a percentage of shortfall between the minimum average balance (MAB) required to be maintained and actual balance maintained in the saving account as agreed upon at the time of account opening. RBI has held that levy of charges for non-maintenance of MAB were not directly proportionate to the extent of the shortfall observed in the required MAB and actual balance maintained. The Bank has taken steps to align the charge levied for nonmaintenance of MAB with the above direction of RBI effective from November 2021.

Convertible instruments, conversion date and likely impact on equity

ICICI Bank has 659.28 million ADS (equivalent to 1,318.55 million equity shares) outstanding, which constituted 18.98% of ICICI Bank's total equity capital at March 31, 2022. There are no other convertible instruments outstanding as on March 31, 2022.

Commodity price risk or foreign exchange risk and hedging activities

The foreign exchange risk position including bullion is managed within the net overnight open position (NOOP) limit approved by the Board of Directors. The foreign currency assets of the Bank are primarily floating rate linked assets. Wholesale liability raising for foreign currencies takes place in USD or other currencies through bond issuances, bilateral loans and syndicated/club loans as well as refinance from Export Credit Agencies (ECA) which may be at a fixed rate or floating rate linked. In case of fixed rate longterm wholesale fund raising in USD, the interest rate risk is generally hedged through interest rate swaps wherein the Bank effectively moves the interest payments to a floating rate index in order to match the asset profile. In case of fund raising in non-USD currencies, the foreign exchange risk is hedged through foreign exchange swaps or currency interest rate swaps.

The extant RBI guidelines do not allow AD Category I Banks to take any market positions in commodity related activities. However, the extant guidelines allows Bank to import gold and silver in line with the RBI license and selling of imported gold/silver on outright basis to domestic clients or providing gold metal loan to jewellery manufacturers. ICICI Bank provides pricing and hedging of Gold Metal Loan to jewellery customers and such exposures are covered on a back-to-back basis with gold suppliers.

In view of the above, the disclosure pursuant to the SEBI Circular No. SEBI/HO/CFD/CMD1/ CIR/P/2018/0000000141 dated November 15, 2018 is not required to be given.

Till March 31, 2021, the Bank recognised cost of stock options granted under ESOS, using intrinsic value method. Pursuant to RBI clarification dated August 30, 2021, the cost of stock options granted after March 31, 2021 is recognised based on fair value method. The cost of stock options granted up to March 31, 2021 continues to be recognised on intrinsic value method. The Bank uses Black-Scholes model to fair value the options on the grant date and the inputs used in the valuation model include assumptions such as the expected life of the share option, volatility, risk free rate and dividend yield. The diluted earnings per share (EPS) pursuant to issue of shares on exercise of options calculated in accordance with Accounting Standard 20 (AS-20) for the year ended March 31, 2022 was Rs 32.98 compared to basic EPS of Rs 33.66.

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the key assumptions used to estimate the fair value of options granted.

Particulars	Year ended March 31, 2021	Year ended March 31, 2022
Risk-free interest rate	4.83% to 5.74%	5.34% to 6.53%
Expected life	3.45 to 5.45 years	3.55 to 5.55 years
Expected volatility	35.19% to 37.31%	35.38% to 39.41%
Expected dividend yield	0.26% to 0.30%	0.18% to 0.30%

The weighted average fair value, based on Black-Scholes model, of options granted during the year ended March 31, 2022 was Rs 227.75 (year ended March 31, 2021: Rs 125.44) and the weighted average exercise price of options granted during the year ended March 31,2022 was Rs 570.43 (year ended March 31, 2021: Rs 337.73).

Risk free interest rates over the expected term of the option are based on the government securities yield in effect at the time of the grant. The expected term of an option is estimated based on the vesting term as well as expected exercise behavior of the employees who receive the option. Expected exercise behavior is estimated based on the historical stock option exercise pattern of the Bank. Expected volatility during the estimated expected term of the option is based on historical volatility determined based on observed market prices of the Bank's publicly traded equity shares. Expected dividends during the estimated expected term of the option are based on recent dividend activity.
