A. The instructions for shareholders voting electronically are as under:

  • (i) The voting period begins on August 10, 2024 (9.00 a.m. IST) and ends on September 08, 2024 (5.00 p.m. IST). During this period, shareholders of the Company, holding shares either in physical mode or in dematerialised mode, as on August 02, 2024 (Cut-off date), may cast their vote electronically. The e-voting module shall be disabled by CDSL for voting thereafter. Members whose names appear on the Register of Members as on August 02, 2024 (Cut-off date) are considered for the purpose of e-voting. A person who is not a member as on cut-off date should treat this notice for information purpose only.

  • (ii) Pursuant to SEBI Circular No. SEBI/HO/CFD/CMD/CIR/P/2020/242 dated December 09, 2020, under the Regulation 44 of SEBI LODR Regulations, listed entities are required to provide remote e-voting facility to its shareholders, in respect of all resolutions. However, it has been observed that the participation by the public non-institutional shareholders/retail shareholders are at a negligible level.

This necessitates registration on various ESPs and maintenance of multiple user IDs and passwords by the shareholders. In order to increase the efficiency of the voting process, pursuant to a public consultation, it has been decided to enable e-voting to all the demat account holders, by way of a single login credential, through their demat accounts/ websites of Depositories/ Depository Participants. Demat account holders would be able to cast their vote without having to register again with the ESPs, thereby, not only facilitating seamless authentication but also enhancing ease and convenience of participating in e-voting process.

  • (iii) In terms of SEBI Circular no. SEBI/HO/CFD/CMD/CIR/P/2020/242 dated December 09, 2020, on e-Voting facility provided by Listed Companies, Individual shareholders holding securities in demat mode are allowed to vote through their demat account maintained with Depositories and Depository Participants.

Explanatory Statement pursuant to Section 102 of the Companies Act, 2013

Item no. 1 and 2: Increase of Authorised share capital & consequent alteration of Capital Clause of the Memorandum of Association (MOA) of the Company and Issue of Bonus Shares to the Equity Shareholders of the Company.

The Equity Shares of the Company are listed and actively traded on BSE Limited (Bombay Stock Exchange) and National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE). The Board of Directors at its meeting held on August 08, 2024 has recommended the Issuance of Bonus Shares in the ratio of 1:4, i.e, One (1) New Fully paid Equity Share for every Four (4) Fully paid existing Equity Shares held by the members as on the Record date (to be determined by the Board), in a view of rewarding the existing shareholders by allotting new shares without the requirement of them having to pay for the same, capitalising some of the accumulated free reserves and retained earnings of the Company and to increase the liquidity of Equity Shares of the Company, subject to Members’ approval.

As per Article 39 and 40 of the Articles of Association of the Company, capitalisation of any part of Company’s free reserves and retained earnings are permitted upon Board’s recommendation and subsequent approval from the members of the Company. As per Section 63 of the Companies Act, a Company may issue fully paid up Bonus shares to its members out of its Free Reserves, Securities Premium Account or Capital Redemption Reserve. The Members may note that the Bonus Equity Shares so issued shall rank pari-passu in all respects with the existing fully paid-up Equity Shares of the Company.

The bonus issue of equity shares would, inter alia, require appropriate adjustments with respect to all the stock options which have been granted to employees of the Company under Mindteck Employees Stock Option Schemes 2005, 2008 and 2014, pursuant to the SEBI (Share Based Employee Benefits and Sweat Equity) Regulations, 2021 and any amendments thereto from time to time such that the number of stock options which are available for granting and those already granted but not exercised as on Record Date shall be appropriately adjusted.

The proposed Bonus issue would result in increased paid up capital and in order to accommodate the Bonus issue, the Authorised Capital has to be increased. Accordingly, as per the provisions of Section 13 and 61 of the Companies Act, 2013, the Board has recommended the increase in Authorised share capital of the Company from Rs. 33,00,00,000/- (Rupees Thirty-Three Crore only) divided into 2,80,00,000 (Two Crore Eighty Lakh) Equity Shares of Rs. 10/- each and 5,00,000 (Five Lakh) Cumulative, Non-convertible, Redeemable Preference Shares of Rs. 100/- each to Rs. 40,00,00,000/(Rupees Forty Crore only) divided into 3,50,00,000 (Three Crore Fifty Lakh) Equity Shares of Rs. 10/each and 5,00,000 (Five Lakh) Cumulative, Non-convertible, Redeemable Preference Shares of Rs. 100/- each, along with subsequent alteration to the existing Clause V of Memorandum of Association of the Company, subject to Shareholders’ approval through Special Resolution.

The existing and proposed Authorised Share Capital is as given below:
