The board noted and took on record the execution of an SPA dated May 6, 2026, between the existing promoters — Mr. Betulla Khan and Mrs. Roli B Khan (collectively, the "Sellers") — and Dr. Faruk Patel ("Acquirer") along with Mr. Muinulhaque Kadva ("Person Acting in Concert" or "PAC"). Accord Synergy Limited is not a party to the SPA. The key terms of the agreement are summarised below:

As the issue size is less than ₹100 Crore, the company is not required to appoint a Credit Rating Agency as a Monitoring Agency to oversee the use of proceeds, in accordance with Regulation 162A of the SEBI ICDR Regulations.
