Aartech Solonics has fixed Tuesday, September 22, 2026, as the record date for its 44th Annual General Meeting (AGM). The meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, September 29, 2026, at 11:00 am via video conferencing or other audio-visual means (OAVM).
The register of members and share transfer books will remain closed from Wednesday, September 23, 2026, to Tuesday, September 29, 2026. This closure determines eligibility for the final dividend for FY26 and voting rights on resolutions proposed at the AGM.
Dividend Declaration
The board recommends a final dividend of Re 0.125 per equity share of face value ₹5 each for FY26. This represents a 2.5% dividend rate. If approved by shareholders, the payout will be distributed within 30 days of the declaration. Dividend income will be taxable in the hands of shareholders, with tax deducted at source (TDS) as per applicable rates under the Income-tax Act, 2025.
Shareholders holding securities in physical form must update their KYC details, including PAN and bank account information, with the Registrar and Transfer Agent (RTA) to receive dividends electronically, as mandated by SEBI circulars effective April 1, 2024. Failure to update these details may result in withheld dividend payments.
Management Remuneration Revisions
The AGM agenda includes special resolutions to revise the maximum remuneration ceilings for two key executives, effective April 1, 2026:
- Amit Anil Raje, Chairman & Managing Director: The ceiling is proposed to increase from ₹36,00,000 to ₹50,00,000 per annum. He received ₹34.86 lakh in remuneration during FY26.
- Arati Nath, CEO & Director: The ceiling is proposed to increase from ₹35,00,000 to ₹50,00,000 per annum. She received ₹35.43 lakh in remuneration during FY26.
Both executives were originally appointed for five-year terms ending May 11, 2030. The revisions apply to the remaining tenure of their current appointments. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee recommended the hikes citing increased operational scale, complexity, and governance responsibilities.
Director Re-appointment
Mr. Anil Anant Rajee, a non-executive director, retires by rotation and offers himself for re-appointment. He holds 22.08% of the paid-up equity share capital. The resolution requires shareholder approval as an ordinary business item.
