Rationale for Name Change
According to disclosures filed with the BSE under Regulation 30 of the SEBI Listing Regulations, the new name "Avax Limited" reflects the company's brand identity. Management stated that the change provides greater flexibility for expansion into existing as well as new business opportunities without being perceived as limited to any particular line of business.
The alteration involves the Name Clause of the Memorandum of Association (MOA) and consequential amendments to the Articles of Association (AOA). The change will be effective upon the issuance of a fresh Certificate of Incorporation by the Registrar of Companies (ROC). The company confirmed compliance with Regulation 45 of the Listing Regulations and obtained a certificate from a Practicing Chartered Accountant in this regard.
