Voting Results Analysis

The consolidated scrutinizer’s report reveals a distinct divergence in shareholder sentiment between promoter/institutional investors and public non-institutional shareholders. While promoters voted unanimously in favour of all resolutions, significant opposition emerged from retail and non-institutional public shareholders regarding the adoption of financials and the reappointment of the retiring director.

Resolution 1: Adoption of Financial Statements

The resolution to adopt the audited financial statements for FY26 received overwhelming support from promoters (100%) and institutional investors (100%). However, among public non-institutional shareholders, 57.43% of votes polled were against the resolution, compared to 42.57% in favour. Overall, the resolution passed with 93.32% of total valid votes cast in favour.

Resolution 2: Declaration of Dividend

The dividend declaration enjoyed near-unanimous support across all categories. Promoters and institutions voted 100% in favour. Among public non-institutional shareholders, 99.99% of votes polled supported the dividend, with only 12 votes cast against it out of over 2.5 million polled. The resolution passed with 99.99% of total valid votes.

Resolution 3: Re-appointment of Director

The reappointment of Mr. Shiv Kumar Singhal, who retires by rotation, mirrored the pattern seen in the financial statements resolution. Promoters and institutions voted unanimously in favour. However, public non-institutional shareholders voted 57.43% against the reappointment. The resolution ultimately passed with 93.32% of total valid votes cast in favour.

Governance and Compliance

Mr. Shawant Raj of S. Raj & Associates was appointed as the scrutinizer for the voting process. The company confirmed that there were no qualifications in the Statutory Auditors' Report or the Secretarial Audit Report, exempting these documents from being read out during the meeting.
