Infosys: Sebi seeks details on board meeting

Infosys did not disclose the nature of the information sought by Securities and Exchange Board of India.

"Sebi has sought certain clarifications from us relating to the Board meeting held on June 1st and we have provided the same.
"We will fully co-operate with Sebi and provide all necessary information in this matter," Infosys said in the statement to Reuters on Friday.
Murthy returned to Infosys as executive chairman on June 1, 11 years after he was chief executive of the company, to help turn around the outsourcing services provider after two years of disappointing results.
