Galaxy Agrico Exports Ltd has withdrawn its proposal to appoint Mr. Aayush Shah and Mr. Ankitkumar Surendrakumar Agrawal as Non-executive Independent Directors. The company disclosed in a filing to BSE Limited on June 29, 2026, that the earlier intimation regarding these appointments stands withdrawn. This decision impacts the company's governance framework as the Board will not proceed with the inductions of the proposed candidates.
The withdrawal follows the company's failure to receive the requisite consent to act as Directors, declarations of independence, disclosures of interest, and other necessary documents from the nominees. These documents are mandatory under the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.
