Board Decisions and Internal Auditor Appointment

During the board meeting, the directors approved transactions with related parties entered into as per Section 188 of the Companies Act, 2013. The board also approved the re-appointment of M/s. Mehul N Mehta & Associates, Chartered Accountants, as the Internal Auditor of the company for the financial year 2026–27. The re-appointment of Mehul Mehta is effective from May 14, 2026. The disclosure was provided in accordance with Regulation 30 of the SEBI Listing Regulations and the relevant SEBI Master Circular.

Accounting Notes

The financial results were prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (IND-AS) as prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013. During the audit for the current financial year, the company carried out a comprehensive review of its lease arrangements in accordance with IND AS 116 – Leases. Consequently, in Q4 of the financial year, the company recognised a reversal of rent expense amounting to ₹47.18 lakhs, representing the corrective impact from the proper application of IND AS 116. This reversal reflects the reclassification of lease-related costs from 'Other Expenses' to depreciation on Right-of-Use (ROU) assets and finance costs on lease liabilities. Accordingly, 'Other Expenses' for the current period appear lower compared to the previous period, solely on account of this accounting adjustment and not a reduction in actual operational expenditure.

Crown Lifters Limited has intimated stock exchanges under Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, that 5,10,000 (Five Lakh Ten Thousand) convertible equity warrants have lapsed following the non-exercise of the conversion option by 9 warrant holders within the prescribed 18-month period from the date of allotment. The deadline for exercising the conversion option was May 11, 2026. As a consequence, the 25% subscription amount received on these warrants stands forfeited in accordance with Regulation 169(3) of Chapter V of the SEBI (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2018.

Background: Original Warrant Allotment

The disclosure references the Company's earlier intimation dated 12th November 2024, wherein Crown Lifters had informed exchanges that it had allotted 8,76,656 (Eight Lakhs Seventy-Six Thousand Six Hundred Fifty-Six) convertible equity warrants to a total of 17 allottees on a preferential basis. The warrants were issued at a price of Rs. 268/- per warrant. At the time of allotment, an initial subscription amount of Rs. 5,87,35,952/- (Indian Rupees Five Crores Eighty Seven Lakhs Thirty Five Thousand Nine Hundred Fifty Two only), representing 25% of the issue price, was collected from the allottees.

Forfeiture Details: Warrant Holders Who Did Not Exercise Conversion

Of the total warrants allotted, 5,10,000 warrants remained unconverted as 9 holders did not exercise their option within the 18-month window. Each of these warrant holders had paid Rs. 67/- per warrant (being 25% of the issue price of Rs. 268/-) at the time of allotment, and this amount is now liable for forfeiture. The following table details the warrant holders and the number of warrants subject to forfeiture:

None of the 9 warrant holders converted any of their warrants into equity shares, as the conversion figure for each stands at Nil.

Regulatory Compliance

The forfeiture is being effected in accordance with Regulation 169(3) of Chapter V of the SEBI (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2018, which mandates that the upfront subscription amount paid on convertible warrants is liable to be forfeited if the conversion option is not exercised within 18 months from the date of allotment. Crown Lifters has requested the exchanges to take the disclosure on record as compliance under the applicable SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The disclosure has also been made available on the Company's website at www.crownlifters.com . The intimation was signed by Pooja Shirke, Company Secretary & Compliance Officer (ACS 74805), on May 12, 2026.
