Infosys<\/a> signed a binding agreement with former board members R Seshasayee<\/a>, Jeffrey Lehman<\/a> and John Etchemendy<\/a>, when they decided to quit last August, to prevent future disclosures about or disparagement of the company, according to the annual filings made by the software services exporter.The so-called mutual release of claims, which was signed after the resignation of the three directors, was disclosed in the company\u2019s annual report released on Monday. A former Infosys director termed it as \u201cunprecedented.\u201d
\u201cI am not aware of any such precedent of independent directors signing such an agreement in the past,\u201d V Balakrishnan, a former Infosys CFO and board member, told ET. The NYSE-listed company had also signed a similar agreement with its former CEO Vishal Sikka<\/a>, following his abrupt exit from the company after months of public wrangling over alleged corporate misgovernance. Infosys declined comment. Seshasayee did not reply to ET\u2019s queries.
<\/div><\/div>\u201cUsually when an employee separates from a company, both sign such an agreement and mutually agree that no party will raise any claims in future,\u201d said Balakrishnan.
\u201cSuch a binding agreement with board members (is) unprecedented,\u201d he added.
Seshasayee \u2014 the chairman of the Infosys board when Sikka was the chief executive \u2014 had defended Sikka\u2019s decisions including the purchase of the Israeli technology company Panaya as well as the severance payout of Rs 17.38 crore to its former chief financial officer Rajiv Bansal.
The board had come under heavy fire from Infosys founder NR Narayana Murthy<\/a>, who questioned these decisions and alleged that they were indicative of grave lapses in corporate governance.
The resulting furore led to large-scale management changes including the exits of the board members and Sikka, paving the way for the return of cofounder Nandan Nilekani<\/a> as non-executive chairman at the end of a tumultuous fortnight in August 2017. Nilekani reviewed the independent investigation\u2014by law firm Gibson, Dunn and Crutcher \u2014 over the allegations of corporate misgovernance, and said there was \u201cno wrongdoing.\u201d
EXPERT VIEWS <\/strong>
Experts are of the view that mutual release of claims between the company and its erstwhile directors would be beneficial to both parties. \u201cThe agreements of mutual release would likely contain clauses for non-disparagement and non-disclosure that protect the interests of the company as well as the erstwhile directors,\u201d Shriram Subramanian, managing director at InGovern Research Services, said. \u201cThe agreement will also indemnify directors of any liabilities due to any actions taken by them in the normal course of their duties as director,\u201d he added.

<\/div><\/div>For existing directors, Infosys continues to indemnify them against repercussions arising from their role on the company\u2019s board. This year, it also said that it would also meet expenses related to public relations consultations, if required, due to issues arising from their board role.
Earlier this month, Ravi Venkatesan, who was also part of Seshasayee\u2019s board at Infosys, quit to take up what the company said would be an \u201cexciting new opportunity.\u201d ET has reported that he a likely contender for a leadership position at the Indian unit of online retail giant Amazon.
Venkatesan is the first board member to leave after the return of Nilekani at the helm of Infosys. Nilekani has also put his stamp on the responsibilities allocated to board members.
While Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw<\/a> was elevated as the lead independent director, Roopa Kudva and Punita Kumar-Sinha had to step down from some committees. Kudva, who also faced Murthy\u2019s ire, stepped down as chairperson of the audit committee to be replaced by D Sundaram. The company\u2019s finance and investment committee, which Kumar-Sinha chaired, was dissolved in April. Both Kudva and Kumar-Sinha remain part of the audit committee, stakeholders\u2019 relationship committee and corporate social responsibility committee.
\u201cRoopa Kudva ceased to be chairperson of the committee effective October 24, 2017 but continued as a member of the committee,\u201d the company said in the report. Her remuneration dropped from Rs 1 crore in FY17 to Rs 97 lakh in FY18. In July, Kudva and Kumar-Sinha stepped down from the risk and strategy committee. Kumar-Sinha\u2019s term on the board ends in 2021, while Kudva\u2019s role on the board ends in 2020.
Infosys management has considered shareholder activism as a potential risk to performance of both the company and its shares. \u201cAttempts to fully address concerns of activist shareholders may divert the time and attention of our Management and Board of Directors and may impact the prices of our equity shares and ADSs,\u201d the company wrote in its annual report 2017-18.
