She discussed changing consumer preferences and product innovation. She also addressed the impact of increased coffee costs during FY25-26 and actions taken to improve revenue and profitability.

An updated report by CrestLaw Partners was circulated to members. This independent law firm covered the recovery process and actions undertaken by the company and its subsidiaries for amounts due from Mysore Amalgamated Coffee Estates Limited and its affiliates.

The notice for the AGM was dispatched on August 24, 2026. It included the Report of Board of Directors, Auditors’ Report, and Secretarial Audit Report. These were taken as read during the meeting.

Eleven out of 27 registered speaker members addressed queries. The Chief Financial Officer responded to each query in detail. He provided comprehensive explanations on financial, operational, and other aspects of the company.

Resolutions Passed

The following ordinary resolutions were transacted:

• Consideration and adoption of Audited Financial Statements (including Consolidated Financial Statements) for the financial year ended March 31, 2026.
• Re-appointment of Ms. Sowrabhi Ramadas (DIN: 11002032), who retires by rotation and offered herself for re-appointment.

The Company Secretary authorized Sadananda Poojary to receive and declare voting results. The scrutinizer’s report was submitted to stock exchanges within two working days. Results are available on the company website.

What the Numbers Show

The voting data reveals a significant divergence in shareholder sentiment regarding the adoption of FY26 financial statements. While promoters voted 100% in favour, public institutions cast 71.38% of their polled votes against the resolution. In contrast, non-institutional public shareholders supported the adoption with 99.86% of their votes in favour. This institutional dissent occurred despite the overall resolution passing with requisite majority due to the combined weight of promoter and non-institutional support. For the director re-appointment, institutional opposition disappeared, with 100% of polled institutional votes supporting Ms. Ramadas.
