However, it has been observed that the participation by the public non-institutional shareholders/retail shareholders is at a negligible level.
Currently, there are multiple e-voting service providers (ESPs) providing e-voting facility to listed entities in India. 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.

Statement pursuant to Section 102 of the Companies Act, 2013
Item Nos. 1 and 2
The equity shares of the Company are listed and traded on the BSE Limited.
The Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") at its meeting held on 28th May, 2026, had subject to the approval of Members of the Company and statutory authority(ies), if any, approved and recommended the sub-division/split of equity shares of the Company such that 1 (One) fully paid-up equity share of the face value of Rs. 10/- (Rupees Ten only) each is sub-divided into 5 (Five) fully paid-up equity shares of the face value of Rs. 2/- (Rupees Two only) each, fully paid-up, ranking pari passu with each other in all respects with effect from such date being the Record Date as may be fixed for this purpose by the Board of Directors of the Company (hereinafter referred to as the "Board").
The Board is of the view that the proposed sub-division/split will enhance the liquidity of the Company's equity shares in the stock market and encourage wider shareholding participation, particularly from retail investors, by making the equity shares more affordable. The sub-division/split will not in any manner affect the rights and obligations of the Members. It is purely arithmetic exercise to improve market accessibility of the shares and does not result in any dilution of shareholding.
The share capital structure before and after the proposed sub-division/split is as under:
| Type of Capital | Pre Sub-division/Split | Post Sub-division/Split | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| No. of equity shares | Face Value (Rs.) | Total Value | No. of equity shares | Face Value (Rs.) | Total Value | |
| Authorized Equity Share Capital | 1,00,00,000 | 10 | 10,00,00,000 | 5,00,00,000 | 2 | 10,00,00,000 |
| Issued, Subscribed and Paid-up Equity Share Capital | 81,99,247 | 10 | 8,19,92,470 | 4,09,96,235 | 2 | 8,19,92,470 |
Consequent to the sub-division/split, Clause 5 of the Memorandum of Association relating to Authorised Share Capital is required to be suitably altered to reflect the revised capital structure. No change shall occur in the authorised, subscribed, issued, or paid-up capital amount of the Company. Further, the subdivision shall not be construed as a reduction of share capital under applicable laws.
Accordingly, the existing Clause 5 of the Memorandum of Association is proposed to be substituted with the following:
"5. The Authorised Share Capital of the Company is Rs. 10,00,00,000 (Ten Crore) divided into 5,00,00,000 (Five Crore) equity shares of Rs. 2/- each.
The draft copy of the altered MOA of the Company will be available for inspection in electronic mode without any fee by the Members from the date of circulation of this Notice until the last date of e-voting i.e. Thursday, 2nd July, 2026. Members can inspect such documents by sending an e-mail from their registered e-mail address mentioning their names, folio numbers, DP ID and Client ID to the Company at [email protected].
Pursuant to the provisions of Section 13, 61 and other applicable provisions, if any, of the Act and the Rules framed thereunder, the Board recommends for approval of the Members the passing of the resolutions as set out at Item Nos. 1 and 2 of the Notice as Ordinary Resolutions.
None of the Directors and Key Managerial Personnel or the Promoter and Promoter group of the Company or their respective relatives are concerned or interested either financially or otherwise in the proposed resolutions at Item Nos. 1 and 2 of the accompanying Notice except to the extent of their respective shareholding, if any.
