foods & inns has confirmed the cessation of Anand Krishnan as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Key Managerial Personnel (KMP), effective from the close of business hours on August 11, 2026. The company disclosed the finalisation of his exit to the stock exchanges, marking the end of a transition period that began with his initial resignation notice in June 2026.

The Board of Directors approved the cessation after Krishnan completed the handover process. This development follows earlier disclosures dated June 10, 2026, regarding his resignation due to personal and professional reasons, and a subsequent update on June 30, 2026, which extended his effective date of cessation to facilitate continuity within the finance function.

Krishnan’s departure is governed by Regulation 30 read with Part A of Schedule III of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The company filed the requisite intimation with both the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE).

Managing Director Milan Dalal authorised the disclosure, expressing the company’s appreciation for Krishnan’s contributions during his tenure. The filing noted that the extension of the exit date was specifically intended to allow for an orderly transition of financial responsibilities and ensure operational stability.

Transition Details

The resignation letter submitted by Krishnan was originally disclosed as Annexure A to the company’s communication dated June 10, 2026. No new appointment details were provided in this filing, indicating that the company has not yet named a successor or may be utilising interim arrangements to manage CFO duties pending a formal hire.

What This Means for Investors

The departure of a CFO represents a significant change in key managerial personnel, requiring close monitoring by investors for potential impacts on financial reporting timelines and strategic capital allocation. While the extended transition period suggests a planned handover rather than an abrupt exit, the absence of an immediate successor announcement leaves a leadership vacuum in the finance function until further disclosures are made.

Foods & Inns has notified stock exchanges that its Register of Members and Share Transfer Books will be closed from September 21, 2026, through September 28, 2026, both days inclusive. This book closure period is essential for determining shareholder eligibility for the company’s 54th Annual General Meeting (AGM) and for receiving the declared dividend. Investors holding equity shares as of the record date will be entitled to vote at the meeting and receive the dividend payout, while transfers during this window will be suspended.

The 54th AGM is scheduled to take place on Monday, September 28, 2026, at 4:00 P.M. The closure ensures a static list of shareholders for voting purposes and accurate dividend disbursement. Milan Dalal, Managing Director of Foods & Inns, issued the intimation to the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE) on August 11, 2026.

Key Dates and Details

The record date is fixed at September 21, 2026. Shareholders who hold equity shares in their demat accounts or physical form on this date will be considered eligible members for the AGM and dividend rights. The share transfer books will remain closed throughout this period to prevent any changes in ownership that could complicate the voting and payment processes.

What This Means for Shareholders

For investors looking to participate in the AGM or receive the dividend, holding the shares on the record date is critical. Those wishing to sell their shares should note that transactions executed after the record date may not confer voting or dividend rights to the buyer if the transfer is not processed before the closure begins. Conversely, new buyers acquiring shares before the closure ends but after the record date will not be eligible for this specific dividend or AGM vote.

The company’s scrip code on BSE is 507552, and its symbol on NSE is FOODSIN. The notification was signed by Milan Dalal, whose DIN is 00062453, confirming the procedural compliance with exchange regulations regarding member register closures.
