Ý CORPORATE SOCIAL
RESPONSIBILITY

In today's evolving business landscape, corporations are

wider responsibility and remains steadfast in its commitment

DATA PROTECTION AND

CYBERSECURITY

The Company recognises that in an increasingly digitised
financial services landscape, the protection of investor data
and the resilience of digital infrastructure are fundamental to
fiduciary responsibility. During the FY 2025-26, the Company
has made substantial progress in strengthening its cybersecurity
posture, data protection framework, and operational resilience,
as detailed below:

(i) Governance Maturity & Global Benchmarking

Company's security governance has been elevated to a
maturity-centric model during the FY 2025-26, ensuring
that the Company's defence framework is simultaneously
aligned with global best practices and fully responsive to
local regulatory expectations.

a) ISO 27001:2022 Certification: During the
FY 2025-26, the Company successfully transitioned
and got certified its Information Security Management
System (ISMS) to the ISO 27001 :2022 standard.
The control environment has been comprehensively
optimised across all four prescribed themes —
Organisational, People, Physical, and Technological
— positioning the Company to address the
contemporary threat landscape with confidence.

b)    Cybersecurity Capability Index Growth:

As part of the ongoing commitment to continuous
improvement, a measurable enhancement in
Company's Cybersecurity Capability Index
(CCI), reflecting the effectiveness of the Board-
approved governance investments made in
strengthening the Company's cyber controls. The
Company continues to strive for higher benchmarks in
cybersecurity resilience, proactively identifying areas
of enhancement and ensuring that the controls evolve
in line with the ever-changing threat landscape.

c)    Regulatory Leadership: The Company has
fully integrated the SEBI Cybersecurity and Cyber
Resilience Framework (CSCRF), thereby maintaining
a proactive compliance posture well within the
regulatory timelines.

(ii) Strategic Cloud Transformation & Infrastructure
Security

During FY 2025-26, the Company successfully executed
a secure digital transformation programme, migrating
mission-critical business functions to hardened, cloud-
native environments without any security incident or service
disruption.

a)    Secure Cloud Migration: In February 2026,

the Company successfully migrated the entire
Tableau application suite from legacy on-premises
infrastructure to a secure Salesforce Cloud
environment, thereby enhancing data availability,
scalability, and the security posture of analytics
workloads supporting business decision-making.

b)    Zero-Trust Architecture: The enterprise-wide
deployment of Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA)
and Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) has fully
replaced traditional perimeter-based security with
a robust "never trust, always verify" identity-centric
architecture, significantly reducing the attack surface
and enabling a secure hybrid working environment
for employees.

c)    Advanced Endpoint & Data Governance:

The Company has successfully integrated the EDR
on both Endpoints & Servers and Cloud-Native DLP
solutions into the new infrastructure. This unified
defensive fabric provides seamless threat detection
and prevents unauthorized data exfiltration across
both on-premises and cloud-native workloads

(iii) Proven Operational Resilience & Ransomware
Defence

The Company has placed strong emphasis on operational
resilience, recognising that uninterrupted service delivery to
investors is a non-negotiable obligation. The Company's
"Always-On" philosophy has been rigorously validated
through real-world testing during the FY 2025-26.

a) Live Disaster Recovery Validation: In March
2026, the Company executed a 48-hour live Disaster
Recovery drill, achieving 100% fail-over capability
across all critical systems and conclusively validating
the resilience of the underlying infrastructure during
a simulated total outage — a level of preparedness
that few institutions in the industry have demonstrated
at this scale.

b)    Ransomware Resilience:    Through the

implementation of Immutable Back-ups, the
Company has engineered a fail-safe data recovery
layer that protects critical investor information against
encryption-based attacks, thereby assuring the
recoverability in worst-case ransomware scenarios.

c)    Independent Threat Validation: Bi-annual
Red-Teaming exercises conducted by external
specialists provide the Company with continuous,
adversarial assurance of the Company's detection
and response capabilities, ensuring that defences are
tested against real-world adversarial tactics.

d)    Cyber Insurance: As part of a holistic resilience
strategy, the Company maintains a comprehensive
Cyber Liability Insurance policy. This acts as a final
layer of financial protection, covering incident
response costs, legal liabilities, and business
interruption, thereby safeguarding the Company
against residual cyber risks.

(iv) Human-Centric Security & Stakeholder Trust

The Company acknowledges that technology controls
alone are insufficient and that the "human firewall"
remains a critical line of defence. The Company has,
therefore, invested significantly in cultivating an enterprise¬
wide culture of security awareness.

a) Empowered Security Culture: Continuous
sensitisation initiatives including phishing simulations,
automated red teaming, and real-time threat
intelligence dissemination. These have measurably
enhanced employee vigilance and embedded
security as a shared organisational responsibility
rather than the remit of the IT function alone.

BOARD EVALUATION

Pursuant to Section 1 78 of the Act and Regulation 1 7 of the SEBI Listing Regulations, the Company has formulated a 'Policy for
Evaluation of Performance of the Board of Directors'. This Policy seeks to define the process and lay down the criteria for assessing
the performance of the Board as a whole, its Committees, and each individual Director, with the broader objective of strengthening
and enhancing the overall effectiveness of the Board. As per Regulation 46 of the SEBI Listing Regulations, the policy is available on
the Company's website athttps://www.utimf.com/amcshareholders/code-and-policies.

ESG INITIATIVES AND PROGRESS OF THE COMPANY

At UTI AMC, the integration of Environmental, Social, and Governance ('ESG') principles into business operations is a strategic
imperative — not a compliance obligation. As a trusted asset management institution with a legacy spanning more than six decades,
the Company recognises that the same principles of governance, accountability, and sustainable conduct that it advocates in its
investee companies (through UTI MF schemes) must be equally reflected in how it manages its own operations and discharges its
institutional responsibilities.

As stakeholder expectations rise and environmental and social risks intensify, Company's proactive integration of ESG principles
positions the Company to deliver resilient performance, foster inclusive growth, and uphold sound governance. Over the past year,
the Company has continued to advance its ESG journey by embedding it deeper into Company's business strategy and operational
framework, aligning with emerging regulatory expectations, global standards, and the evolving priorities of Company's stakeholders.

Since FY 2021-22, the Company has reported ESG progress through Annual Sustainability Report and, in compliance with SEBI
Regulations, through the Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report ('BRSR'), aligned with the National Guidelines for
Responsible Business Conduct ('NGRBC'). In FY 2023-24, the Company improved its ESG disclosures by conducting a Double
Materiality Assessment across the UTI Group. Building on this, an ESG Risk Analysis spanning 12 departments and 35 material risks
was completed in FY 2025-26, with findings integrated into the Company's business risk register and mitigation plans established for
each identified risk.

Responsible Investment Policy:

UTI AMC has adopted a Responsible Investment Policy (For UTI MF Schemes), which serves as the strategic framework for systematically
incorporating material ESG factors across the investment lifecycle — from initial screening and due diligence through ongoing
monitoring and active stewardship engagement with investee companies.

As a committed signatory to the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment ('UN PRI') since 2020, and to Climate Action
100+ since November 2023, the Company aligns its investment practices with globally recognised standards of transparency,
accountability, and responsible stewardship. The Company's due diligence has been strengthened through a partnership with SES ESG

driven model, enabling real-time risk monitoring and faster
containment of threats.
