Centenial Surgical Suture Ltd has disclosed the detailed voting results and the scrutinizer's report for its 31st Annual General Meeting (e-AGM) held on September 28, 2026. The filing confirms that all three proposed resolutions passed with a clear majority, adhering to SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015.

The meeting, conducted via video conferencing from 2:00 pm to 2:25 pm, was chaired by Vijay Majrekar. A total of 25 shareholders participated virtually, comprising three from the promoter group and 22 public shareholders. The record date for determining voting entitlements was September 21, 2026. The scrutinizer appointed for the process was Hemant Shetye of HSPN & Associates LLP.

Key Resolutions Passed

Shareholders voted on three ordinary resolutions. The first resolution involved receiving, considering, and adopting the audited financial statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, along with the reports of the Board of Directors and Auditors. This resolution received overwhelming support, with 99.99% of valid votes cast in favor.

The second and third resolutions pertained to the appointment and reappointment of Anuradha Kashikar as Executive Director. She retired by rotation and offered herself for reappointment. Both resolutions passed with similar margins of support.

Voting Participation Details

The voting process was facilitated through remote e-voting via Purva Sharegistry India Private Limited, which remained open from September 24 to September 27, 2026. Additionally, live e-voting was available during the meeting for attendees who had not previously cast their votes.

For Items 1 and 2, a total of 25,20,942 votes were polled out of the total outstanding shares. Only one vote was recorded against these resolutions. For Item 3, which concerned the specific reappointment of Ms. Kashikar, her own votes were treated as invalid due to interest in the resolution. Consequently, the total valid votes polled for this item stood at 18,22,442, with 6,98,500 votes classified as invalid.

What the Numbers Show

The voting data reveals a high concentration of promoter participation relative to public engagement. Promoters and their group held 17,10,601 shares and cast all their votes for Items 1 and 2, contributing significantly to the total poll. In contrast, public non-institutional shareholders, holding 19,37,699 shares, only exercised voting rights on 41.82% of their holdings for the same items. This divergence highlights that while the resolutions passed unanimously in spirit, active shareholder engagement from the public segment remains limited compared to the promoter group's full participation.

Centenial Surgical Suture Ltd has scheduled its 31st Annual General Meeting (e-AGM) via video conferencing on Monday, September 28, 2026, at 2:00 pm, to transact ordinary and special business for FY26.

Under ordinary business, members will consider adopting the audited accounts for the year ended March 31, 2026, and the re-appointment of Anuradha Kashikar, Executive Director (DIN: 00804831), who retires by rotation.
