Karnika Industries Limited has issued a third corrigendum to the notice of its Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) scheduled for Monday, May 11, 2026, at 1:00 P.M. (IST) via Video Conferencing / Other Audio-Visual Means.

Newspaper publications of the third corrigendum were made on May 8, 2026 in Business Standard (English) and Ek Din (Bengali). The third corrigendum was also emailed to all shareholders on May 6, 2026, whose email addresses are registered with the Company, and has been uploaded on the websites of the Company, the National Stock Exchange of India Limited, and the National Securities Depository Limited.
Third Corrigendum: Rectified Weblinks
The sole purpose of the third corrigendum is to provide corrected weblinks for two key documents referenced in the EGM Explanatory Statement. The updated links are as follows:
| Document: | Corrected Weblink: |
|---|---|
| Valuation Report (Point H): | https://karnikaindustries.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/VALUATION-REPORT-FINAL-PREFERENTIAL-ISSUE.pdf |
| PCS Certificate (Point Y): | https://karnikaindustries.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/PCS-CERTIFICATE-FINAL-PREFERENTIAL-ISSUE.pdf |
The Company has also noted that since the e-voting process commenced on May 6, 2026 at 9:00 A.M. (IST), shareholders who have already cast their votes may, if they so desire, submit their observations, comments, or queries in respect of the changes made in this corrigendum. Such communications may be addressed to the Company Secretary at info@karnikaindustries.com within 48 hours from the issuance of this corrigendum. All other contents of the original EGM notice, the first corrigendum dated April 28, 2026, and the second corrigendum dated May 5, 2026 remain unchanged.
Second Corrigendum: Key Corrections
The second corrigendum, issued on May 5, 2026, had addressed typographical errors and revised VWAP figures in the EGM Explanatory Statement. Under Point B (Objects of the Preferential Issue), the word "facto" was corrected to "factors" and "yea" was corrected to "years." Under Point H (Basis on which the price has been arrived at), the VWAP figures used for determining the issue price floor were revised as follows:
| Parameter: | Revised Figure | Original Figure |
|---|---|---|
| 90-trading-day VWAP (preceding Relevant Date): | ₹120.11 per Equity Share | ₹120.15 per Equity Share |
| 10-trading-day VWAP (preceding Relevant Date): | ₹108.74 per Equity Share | ₹110.30 per Equity Share |
Accordingly, the floor price under Regulation 164 of the SEBI ICDR Regulations stands at ₹120.11 per equity share, being the higher of the two VWAP figures. The second corrigendum also clarified under Point Q that the Company has not made any allotment on a preferential basis during the financial year commencing April 1, 2026, till date. Newspaper publications of the second corrigendum were made on May 6, 2026 in Business Standard (English) and Ek Din (Bengali).
Preferential Issue Details
The Board of Directors, at its meeting held on April 11, 2026, approved the issuance of up to 39,66,860 (Thirty Nine Lakhs Sixty Six Thousand Eight Hundred and Sixty) Convertible Warrants on a preferential basis. Each warrant carries the right to subscribe to one fully paid-up equity share of the Company at an issue price of ₹121/- per warrant, including a premium of ₹111/- per warrant, aggregating up to ₹47,99,90,060/- (Rupees Forty-Seven Crores Ninety-Nine Lakhs Ninety Thousand and Sixty only). The issue price of ₹121/- per warrant is consistent with the valuation report dated April 10, 2026, obtained from Independent Registered Valuer Mr. Manish Gadia (Registration No.: IBBI/RV/06/2019/11646), and is higher than the floor price determined under Regulation 164 of the SEBI ICDR Regulations.
The proposed utilization of the issue proceeds is outlined below:
| Sl. No. | Object of Issue: | Indicative Amount: | Percentage of Total: | Tentative Timeline: |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | Working capital requirements (repayment to creditors and bank loans): | ₹40,00,00,000 (approx.) | 83.33% (approx.) | Within 24 months from receipt of funds |
| 2. | General corporate purposes (including issue-related expenses): | ₹7,99,90,060 (approx.) | 16.67% (approx.) | As determined by the Board |
Proposed Allottees and Shareholding Impact
The preferential issue is proposed to be allotted to 14 allottees, comprising promoters, promoter group entities (including HUFs), and one non-promoter. The key proposed allottees include Niranjan Mundhra, Shiv Shankar Mundhra, Mahesh Kumar Mundhra, Jagdish Prasad Mundhra, Saroj Devi Mundhra, Poonam Mundhra, Priyanka Mundhra, Kirti Mundhra, Krishan Kumar Karnani, and their respective HUFs, along with Bhagwan Nath Sidh as the sole non-promoter allottee.
The impact on the shareholding pattern, assuming full conversion of all 39,66,860 convertible warrants into equity shares, is summarized below:
| Category: | Pre-Issue Shares | Pre-Issue (%) | Post-Issue Shares | Post-Issue (%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Promoters & Promoter Group: | 45501500 | 73.39 | 49303080 | 74.74 |
| Non-Promoters: | 16496000 | 26.61 | 16661280 | 25.26 |
| Grand Total: | 61997500 | 100.00 | 65964360 | 100.00 |
The existing promoters will continue to remain in control of the Company following the preferential allotment, with no change in management or control. The EGM notice, as amended by all three corrigenda, has been uploaded on the websites of the Company, the National Stock Exchange of India Limited, and the National Securities Depository Limited.
