STATEMENT OF MATERIAL FACTS PURSUANT TO SECTION 102(1) OF THE COMPANIES ACT, 2013
Item No. 1 :
At present, the Company's Registered Office is situated at the “National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi”. For operational and administrative convenience, the management is contemplating a change in the Registered Office of the Company from the “National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi” to the “State of Gujarat”.
The management is quite hopeful that the shifting of the Registered Office as aforesaid will be in the best interests of the Company, its shareholders and all other concerned stakeholders. The proposed shifting of the Registered office is not prejudicial to the interest of any stakeholder of the Company.
Pursuant to the provisions of Section 13 of the Companies Act, 2013, the shifting of Registered Office of a company from one State to another and consequent alteration of the registered office clause of Memorandum of Association pertaining to the place of the registered office of the Company requires approval of shareholders by way of a Special Resolution. Further, the alteration of Memorandum of Association relating to the place of registered office from one State to another shall not have effect unless approved by the Central Government (Powers delegated to the Regional Director).
Approval of the shareholders is, therefore, sought for shifting of Registered Office of the Company from the “National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi” to the “State of Gujarat” and consequential amendment to Memorandum of Association of the Company.
The Board of Directors of your Company, therefore, recommends the resolution to be passed as a Special resolution by the members. None of the Directors or Key Managerial Personnel (KMPs) of the Company and/or their relatives are, in any way, concerned or interested, whether financially or otherwise, in the passing the proposed resolution set out at item no.1 of the notice for the approval of the members through Postal Ballot.
Copy of all the documents mentioned herein above shall be open for inspection at the Registered Office of the Company on all working days (except Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays) from 9.00 a.m. to 06.00 p.m. upto the date of declaration of the postal ballot results.
