Gujarat Hotels Ltd will close its trading window for dealing in shares starting October 1, 2026. This closure applies to designated employees and their immediate relatives in compliance with the company's insider trading code.

The restriction is imposed ahead of the announcement of unaudited financial results for the quarter and six months ending September 30, 2026. The trading window is scheduled to reopen 48 hours after these results are disclosed to the stock exchanges.

Compliance with insider trading norms

The decision aligns with the GHL Code of Conduct for Prevention of Insider Trading - 2019. The company notified BSE Limited regarding this procedural step on September 25, 2026. Swati, the Company Secretary and Compliance Officer, signed the intimation digitally.

Gujarat Hotels held its 44th Annual General Meeting on August 26, 2026, where shareholders approved all ordinary business resolutions. The meeting, conducted via video conferencing, saw the adoption of financial statements for FY26 and the declaration of a final dividend.

Key Resolutions Passed

The primary outcome of the meeting was the approval of a ₹3 final dividend per equity share of face value ₹10 each for the financial year ended March 31, 2026. This resolution was passed as an ordinary resolution by the members.

Additionally, the Board’s appointment of Messrs. K C Mehta & Co. LLP as Statutory Auditors for FY27 was approved, along with their remuneration. The financial statements for FY26, along with the reports of the Board of Directors and Auditors, were also adopted.

Director Re-election

Mr. Arif Musa Patel (DIN: 10051869), who retired by rotation, was re-elected as a director. He offered himself for re-election, which was approved by the shareholders.

Voting Results Analysis

The meeting recorded participation from 57 members out of a total shareholder base of 5,273 on the record date of August 19, 2026. E-voting facilities were available remotely from August 22 to August 25, 2026, and during the meeting.

Promoter group shareholders, holding 20,33,963 shares, voted in favor of all resolutions with 100% support. Public non-institutional shareholders polled 3,743 votes, with over 95% supporting each agenda item.

What the Numbers Show

The voting data reveals a distinct concentration of influence among promoter shareholders. While promoters cast votes for 100% of their holdings (20,33,963 shares), public non-institutional participation was minimal, with only 0.21% of outstanding shares polled. This disparity highlights that the approval of key corporate actions, including the dividend payout and director appointments, was driven almost entirely by the promoter group's unified stance, with negligible dissent from the broader public shareholder base.
