Heritage Foods Limited has officially launched the Second 100-Day Campaign titled "Saksham Niveshak" under the directive of the Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority (IEPFA), Ministry of Corporate Affairs. The campaign, running from April 01, 2026 to July 09, 2026, aims to facilitate shareholders in updating their KYC details and claiming unpaid dividends to prevent mandatory transfers to the IEPF.

Campaign Overview and Regulatory Compliance

The company has fulfilled its regulatory obligations under Regulation 30 of SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, by publishing mandatory newspaper advertisements on April 10, 2026. The notifications were published in Financial Express (all editions) and Andhra Prabha (Hyderabad edition) to create awareness among shareholders.

Primary Campaign Objectives

The special outreach initiative focuses on three core objectives to safeguard shareholder investments:

• KYC Updates: Enable shareholders to update bank account mandates, nomination registration, PAN details, and contact information including email addresses, mobile numbers, and postal addresses
• Prevention of IEPF Transfers: Engage with shareholders to prevent mandatory transfer of unpaid/unclaimed dividends and corresponding shares to the Investor Education and Protection Fund
• Direct Settlement: Facilitate direct settlement of unpaid/unclaimed dividends through the company, avoiding lengthy IEPF recovery processes

Shareholder Benefits and Action Required

Shareholders can benefit significantly from participating in this campaign. Updated KYC details ensure timely credit of future dividends directly to bank accounts, while claiming unpaid dividends prevents their transfer to IEPF along with underlying shares after seven consecutive years.

Contact Information and Form Submission

Shareholders holding shares in physical form must submit prescribed forms (ISR-1, ISR-2, ISR-3, and SH-13) along with supporting documents. These forms are available on the company's website and the Registrar and Transfer Agent's portal.

Shareholders holding shares in electronic form should update their details with respective Depository Participants. Company Secretary Umakanta Barik has emphasized the importance of prompt action during the campaign period to safeguard investments and ensure regulatory compliance.
