Governance Strengthening

These appointments follow the company's announcement in July 2026 regarding its intent to strengthen the Board and management through the induction of experienced independent directors and key managerial personnel. Elitecon International, a diversified manufacturing and export enterprise with businesses in tobacco products, agri-commodities, and an emerging FMCG portfolio, aims to build a stronger foundation for its long-term roadmap.

Commenting on the appointments, Mr. Pradeep Kumar stated that the strengthened leadership brings experience across governance, compliance, finance, and operations, providing a stronger foundation for the company as it moves into its next phase of growth.

Elitecon International has discontinued the engagement of M/s. G Aakash & Associates as its Secretarial Auditor, effective August 11, 2026. The change follows a communication from the firm stating it would be unable to render further services to the company. This development requires shareholders and stakeholders to note the departure of the current secretarial auditor ahead of any upcoming compliance cycles.

The disclosure was made pursuant to Regulation 30 read with Para A of Part A of Schedule III of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The company also referenced the applicable provisions of the SEBI Master Circular dated January 30, 2026. Pradeep Kumar, Additional Director of Elitecon International, signed the intimation to the stock exchanges on August 12, 2026.

M/s. G Aakash & Associates, Practicing Company Secretaries, bearing Membership No- A57213 & COP No. 21629, notified the company of its decision via email dated August 11, 2026. The firm did not provide detailed reasons for its resignation beyond stating an inability to continue providing services. Consequently, the engagement stands discontinued from that date.

Key Details of Resignation

The company has enclosed the required details as Annexure A in its filing with BSE Limited and The Calcutta Stock Exchange Limited. No new secretarial auditor has been appointed in this disclosure. Shareholders should monitor subsequent filings for the appointment of a successor auditor to ensure continued compliance with secretarial audit requirements under the Companies Act and SEBI regulations.
