Eternal Limited has amended its Code of Practices and Procedures for Fair Disclosure of Unpublished Price Sensitive Information (UPSI) to align with updated regulatory requirements. The policy, approved by the Board of Directors, aims to ensure uniform dissemination of information and prevent selective disclosure that could impact price discovery. The amended code was submitted to the stock exchanges on July 22, 2026, and has been hosted on the company's website.
The revised framework designates the Chief Investor Relations Officer (CIRO) and the Compliance Officer as key authorities overseeing the disclosure of UPSI. The CIRO is responsible for disseminating information to analysts, investors, and research personnel, while the Compliance Officer ensures necessary submissions to the Stock Exchanges. In cases of uncertainty regarding whether information constitutes UPSI, the matter must be referred to the Compliance Officer, Chief Executive Officer, or Chief Financial Officer.
Principles of Fair Disclosure
The code mandates that UPSI be preserved in strict confidentiality and shared only on a "need to know" basis for legitimate purposes. Prompt public disclosure is required once a definitive decision is made to release information that could impact the company's share price. The company must take reasonable steps to ensure the accuracy of information before dissemination.
To avoid selective disclosure, UPSI must be disseminated universally to all stakeholders through Stock Exchanges and the company's official website. If any selective disclosure occurs inadvertently, the company is required to take corrective action, including informing the Stock Exchanges to make the information publicly available.
Engagement with Analysts and Investors
The policy stipulates that only generally available information should be provided to analysts, research personnel, and institutional investors. To ensure uniformity, the company encourages the presence of more than one representative during such meetings. Audio and video recordings of quarterly earnings calls and other interactions must be posted on the company's website within the statutory time limit.
If UPSI is unintentionally shared during any meeting, the company must treat it as a selective disclosure and promptly make the information generally available. The policy also outlines procedures for responding to queries on news reports and verifying market rumors, in compliance with SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.
Enforcement and Compliance
Violations of the Fair Disclosure Code by Designated Persons, including their Immediate Relatives, may result in penal action, disciplinary measures, or termination of employment. The company reserves the right to initiate action under applicable laws, which does not preclude SEBI from imposing monetary penalties or other sanctions. The Board retains the authority to review and amend the code periodically to reflect changes in statutory or regulatory requirements.
