The Board was informed that the reason for such re-classification is that the Outgoing Promoters are no longer associated with the business of the Company in any manner, and do not exercise any control over the Company, directly or indirectly, or have any influence over the business and policy decisions made by the Company. Further, the Outgoing Promoters are not engaged in the day-to-day affairs of the Company.

The Board was also informed that the Outgoing Promoters satisfy all conditions specified in sub-clauses (i) to (vii) of clause (b) of sub-regulation (3) of Regulation 31A of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (“Listing Regulations”).

Further, as required under Regulation 31A(3)(c) of the Listing Regulations, the Board also noted that:

  • a. the Company is compliant with the minimum public shareholding requirements as required under regulation 38 of the Listing Regulations;

  • b. trading in the equity shares of the Company have not been suspended by the stock exchanges where the equity shares of the Company are listed (“Stock Exchanges”); and

  • c. the Company does not have any outstanding dues to the Securities and Exchange Board of India, the Stock Exchanges or the depositories.

However, the approval of the Board is subject to the further approval of the shareholders of the Company, and BSE Limited and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited, and any other consents and approvals which may be required in this regard.

The Board was also informed that none of the Directors of the Company are interested in this resolution.

The Board considered the matter and passed the following resolutions:
