The discussion also details that 1% is allocated for Non-Executive Directors (NEDs) and Independent Directors (IDs), with a 3% overall limit for NEDs/IDs when there's no MD/WTD. The overall maximum managerial remuneration is capped at 11%, with special resolutions required for exceeding these limits or in cases of inadequate profits.
