Presently, the Authorised Share Capital of the Company is ₹ 6,00,00,000 (Rupees Six Crores) divided into 60,00,000 (Sixty Lakhs) Equity Shares of ₹ 10/- each (Rupees Ten). To facilitate issue of Bonus Shares and future requirements, it is necessary to increase the Authorised Share Capital of the Company to ₹ 12,00,00,000/- (Rupees Twelve Crores) consisting of 1,20,00,000 (One Crore and Twenty Lakhs) Equity Shares having face value of ₹ 10/- by creation of additional 60,00,000 (Sixty Lakhs) Equity Shares of Rs. 10/- (Rupees Ten) each.

The increase of Authorised Share Capital as aforesaid would require consequential alteration to the existing clause V of the Memorandum of Association of the Company.

The increase in Authorised Share Capital and alteration to Clause V of Memorandum of Association of the Company and issue of Bonus Equity Shares are subject to approval of members by way of passing Ordinary Resolution in terms of Section 61 and 63 and other applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.

Accordingly, the Board recommends the resolution set forth in Item No. 1 and Item No. 2 to be passed as Ordinary Resolution by the Members of the Company through Postal Ballot.

None of the Directors, Key Managerial Personnel or their relatives are in any way concerned or interested in the resolutions set forth in Item Nos. 1 and 2 of this Notice except to the extent of their Shareholding held by them in the Company.

Resolution No. 3:

As per SEBI (ICDR) Regulations, 2018 (as amended from time to time) the Company having the Paid – up Share Capital of more than ₹ 10 Crore but upto ₹ 25 Crore and whose shares are listed on SME Exchange for more than 2 years are eligible to migrate from SME Exchange to Main Board.

Presently, the paid up Capital of the Company is ₹ 5,98,50,000/- and the Shares of the Company are also listed on SME platform of National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE SME Emerge) since 24th November 2017 and on 23rd November 2019 it will complete 2 years thereby complying with the above stated requirements and it becomes eligible for migration from SME Exchange of National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE SME Emerge) to Main Board of National Stock Exchange of India Limited.

The Board of Directors of the Company are of the view that the migration of the Company to Main Board of National Stock Exchange Board of India Limited will act as a catalyst in the growth and expansion of the Company, enhance the recognition of the Company, increase the participation from the retail investors and the Members will enjoy the increased return on their investment, hence your Directors have decided to migrate the Shares of the Company from SME Board of National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE SME Emerge) to Main Board of National Stock Exchange of India Limited.

In view of the above, your Directors' recommend to pass the proposed Resolution with or without modification as a Special Resolution.
