Item No. 4 & 5
The Equity Shares of your Company are listed and traded on BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited. The need was felt to appropriately sub-divide/split the equity shares of the Company into smaller denominations to encourage wider participation of small investors thereby enhancing liquidity of the equity shares of the Company in the Stock Market.
Accordingly, the Board of Directors of the Company at their meeting held on August 13, 2024 considered and approved the proposal and recommended to sub-divide/ split the existing 1 (One) equity share of the Company of face value of Rs. 10/- each fully paid up into 5 (Five) equity shares of face value of Rs.2/- (Rupee Two Only) each fully paid, ranking pari-passu in all respects with effect from such date as may be fixed for this purpose by the Board (“Record Date”), subject to approval of the Members and other statutory and regulatory approvals, as applicable.
Further, the sub-division of shares as aforesaid would also require consequential amendments to the existing Clause V of the Memorandum of Association (“MOA”) of the Company to reflect the change in face value of each Equity Share of the Company from existing Rs.10/(Rupees Ten only) each to proposed Rs.2/- (Rupee Two Only) each. Hence, the Board in its Meeting held on August 13, 2024 also considered and recommended for amendment in the existing Clause V of the MOA to reflect the change in proposed face value of each Equity Share of the Company. The proposed sub-division/ split of equity shares will not result in any change in the amount of authorized, issued, subscribed and paid-up share capital of the Company.
The authorized, issued, paid-up and subscribed share capital of the Company pre and post the proposed sub-division / split is given below:
| Partculars | Pre Sub-division | Pre Sub-division | Post Sub-division | Post Sub-division |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| No. of shares | Face Value(Rs.) | No. of shares | Face Value(Rs.) | |
| Authorized Share Capital | ||||
| EquityShares | 5,50,00,000 | 10 | 27,50,00,000 | 2 |
