Coromandel International Limited has opened a special window for the transfer and dematerialisation of physical securities sold or purchased prior to April 1, 2019. This facility, available until February 4, 2027, allows shareholders to regularise pending transfer requests or lodge fresh requests for deeds executed before the specified date, provided the original share certificates are available. The initiative follows the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) Circular No. HO/38/13/11(2)2026-MIRSD-PD01/3750/2026 dated January 30, 2026.
Special Window Conditions
Securities transferred under this special window will be credited only in dematerialised form. A mandatory lock-in period of one year from the date of registration of transfer applies, during which the securities cannot be transferred, pledged, or lien-marked. The facility excludes cases involving disputes between transferor and transferee or securities already transferred to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF).

|---|---|---|---|
| Before April 1, 2019 | No (Fresh lodgement) | Yes | Yes |
| Before April 1, 2019 | Yes (Rejected/Returned) | Yes | Yes |

Shareholder Action Required
Eligible investors must submit transfer requests and requisite documents to the company's Registrar and Share Transfer Agent, KFin Technologies Limited. The company has also urged shareholders to update email IDs and KYC details to ensure the receipt of statutory communications and dividends. Physical folios without PAN or KYC details will only receive dividends electronically after furnishing the necessary information.
Saksham Niveshak Campaign
In alignment with the Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority (IEPFA) directive, Coromandel International Limited launched the second 100-day campaign titled 'Saksham Niveshak' on April 1, 2026. The campaign concludes on July 9, 2026, and aims to help shareholders update details and claim unclaimed dividends to prevent the transfer of unpaid amounts and corresponding shares to the IEPF.
