JMJ Fintech Limited will convene its Board of Directors meeting on Monday, August 31, 2026, via video conference. The primary agenda is to formally approve the postponement and keeping in abeyance of the proposed preferential issue of equity shares.

  • Consider and approve the postponement of the preferential equity share issue.
  • Approve the draft revised notice for the upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM), excluding resolutions related to the preferential allotment.
  • Authorize the dispatch of the revised AGM notice to members.

In compliance with the SEBI (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations, 2015, and the company’s Code of Conduct, the trading window for JMJ Fintech securities remains closed. It will reopen 48 hours after the declaration or outcome of the board meeting.

The notice was issued by Vidya Damodaran, Company Secretary and Compliance Officer, on August 25, 2026.

JMJ Fintech Limited has recommended a final dividend of ₹0.15 per equity share of face value ₹10 each for the financial year ending March 31, 2026 (FY26). The Coimbatore-based non-banking financial company’s Board of Directors approved the payout during its meeting held on August 18, 2026. The dividend is subject to approval by shareholders at the ensuing 43rd Annual General Meeting (AGM). If approved, the dividend will be paid within 30 days from the date of the AGM.

Capital Raise Details

The board approved the preferential issue of 7,90,000 equity shares at an issue price of ₹20 per share (including a share premium of ₹10), aggregating to ₹1,58,00,000. This represents a reduction from the initially proposed cap of up to 16,00,000 equity shares mentioned in earlier disclosures. The issue price is not less than the floor price of ₹9.95 per share determined by registered valuer CA S Dehaleesan, with August 18, 2026, as the relevant date.

The allotment involves 48 individual non-promoter investors. Post-allotment, the total number of outstanding equity shares will increase from 3,76,45,548 to 3,84,35,548. The promoter holding will slightly dilute from 23.74% to 23.25%, while the public holding will rise from 76.26% to 76.75%, maintaining compliance with minimum public shareholding norms.
