What the Numbers Show
The voting data reveals a significant divergence in participation between routine and strategic resolutions. For standard items like financial statement adoption (Resolution 1), a total of 80,30,365 votes were cast. However, for the acquisition and preferential issue (Resolutions 4 and 5), valid votes dropped sharply to 1,77,769. This reduction is directly attributable to the exclusion of 73,09,522 votes cast by seven promoter shareholders who were declared invalid due to their interest in the transactions. Consequently, the approval for these critical strategic moves relied entirely on the public shareholder base, which constituted approximately 2% of the total outstanding shares voting on these specific items.
