Key Dates for Dividend and AGM

The Board had recommended the dividend at its meeting held on May 12, 2026. The final payout is contingent upon approval by the shareholders at the AGM.

Berger Paints India Ltd has closed its trading window for insiders effective July 1, 2026, to prevent potential insider trading ahead of its financial results for the quarter ending June 30, 2026. The restriction will remain in effect until 48 hours after the conclusion of the board meeting where the unaudited financial results for Q1FY27 are considered and approved. The company has not yet announced the specific date for this board meeting.

The closure of the trading window is a mandatory compliance measure under the SEBI (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations, 2015. This regulation mandates that companies restrict trading by designated insiders during periods when unpublished price-sensitive information (UPSI) is likely to be possessed. The unaudited financial results for the quarter constitute such sensitive information.

The company, in its communication to the stock exchanges, confirmed that the exact date of the board meeting will be informed in due course. The intimation was addressed to the Corporate Relationship Department of BSE Limited, the Listing Department of National Stock Exchange of India Limited, and the Listing Department of The Calcutta Stock Exchange Ltd. The communication was signed by Arunito Ganguly, Vice President & Company Secretary of Berger Paints India Limited.
