Essex Marine Limited published the notice for its 17th Annual General Meeting (AGM) in the Financial Express (All India Editions) and Ekdin (Bengali edition) on August 5, 2026. The publication fulfills regulatory disclosure requirements under Regulation 30 and Regulation 47 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, ensuring shareholders are formally notified of the upcoming meeting scheduled for September 2, 2026.

The Board of Directors approved the meeting details during a session held on August 4, 2026. The AGM will be conducted remotely via Video Conference or Other Audio Visual Means, allowing shareholders to participate without physical presence. This mode of conduct aligns with various circulars issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs and SEBI, which have dispensed with the requirement for physical meetings unless specifically mandated.

Key Dates and Voting Details

Shareholders must note specific deadlines to exercise their voting rights. The Register of Members and Share Transfer Books will remain closed from August 27, 2026, to September 2, 2026, both days inclusive. This closure determines the final list of eligible shareholders. Electronic voting commences on Sunday, August 30, 2026, at 9:00 A.M. and concludes on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, at 5:00 P.M. The cut-off date for e-voting eligibility is Wednesday, August 26, 2026.

To ensure the integrity of the voting process, M Shahnawaz & Associates, Practicing Company Secretary, has been appointed as the Scrutinizer for e-voting. Members who have not cast their votes electronically before the meeting can exercise their voting rights through the e-voting system during the AGM itself. The facility is provided by National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL).

Shareholder Communications

The company has moved towards digital communication to support environmental protection efforts. Physical copies of the Annual Report for the Financial Year 2025-2026 will only be sent to shareholders who explicitly request them. Electronic copies of the AGM notice and the Annual Report will be dispatched to members with registered email IDs. For those without registered emails, a letter containing a weblink to the Annual Report will be sent to their registered addresses.

The documents are also available on the company’s website, BSE Limited’s portal, and the NSDL e-voting website. Shareholders holding shares in demat or physical form who have not registered their email addresses are urged to do so immediately via their Depository Participants or the Registrar and Transfer Agent, Skyline Financial Services Private Limited.
