Icodex Publishing Solutions Limited has proposed to reallocate ₹9.07 crore of unutilised Initial Public Offering (IPO) proceeds to working capital requirements, subject to shareholder approval. The company’s board, in a meeting on July 10, 2026, approved the variation in the objects of utilisation of IPO proceeds and the ratification of a deviation amounting to ₹1.34 crore.
The IPO, conducted in August 2025, raised a total of ₹34.63 crore through a fresh issue and an offer for sale, with net proceeds of ₹29.41 crore. As of July 10, 2026, ₹9.07 crore remained unutilised. The company plans to transfer ₹7.95 crore from the funds allocated for purchasing new office premises and ₹1.12 crore from the allocation for purchasing hardware to the working capital requirement.
Proposed Reallocation of Funds
The following table details the proposed variation in the utilisation of the net proceeds:
| Sr. No. | Original Objects of the IPO | Total Amount Raised (₹ Cr) | Amount Utilised as on March 31, 2026 (₹ Cr) | Amount Unutilized as on March 31, 2026 (₹ Cr) | Revised Amount After Variation (₹ Cr) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | Purchase of new office premises | 16.69 | 7.40 | 7.95 | NIL |
| 2. | Purchase of hardware for new office | 1.12 | NIL | 1.12 | NIL |
| 3. | Working capital requirement | 5.20 | 5.20 | NIL | 9.07 |
| 4. | General Corporate Purposes | 6.40 | 6.40 | NIL | NA |
| Total | 29.41 | 19.00 | 9.07 | 9.07 |
Ratification of Deviation
The company has also sought ratification for a deviation of ₹1.34 crore. A monitoring agency report observed that funds earmarked for purchasing office premises were utilised for interior works and fit-outs. While the company states this expenditure is intrinsically linked to making the premises operational, it does not strictly fall within the stated object of purchasing the premises as disclosed in the prospectus.
Postal Ballot and E-Voting Details
The company has dispatched the notice of postal ballot and the explanatory statement to members on July 16, 2026. The voting period for the remote e-voting process commences at 09:00 A.M. on July 17, 2026, and concludes at 05:00 P.M. on August 14, 2026. Mr. Kuldeep Ruchandani, Practicing Company Secretary and Partner at KPRC and Associates, has been appointed as the scrutinizer for the process.
Shareholders who have not registered their email addresses are requested to update them with the Registrar and Share Transfer Agent, Cameo Corporate Services Limited, to receive the postal ballot notice electronically.
