Kesar Terminals & Infrastructure Limited has revised its code for fair disclosure of unpublished price sensitive information (UPSI) to ensure compliance with SEBI regulations. The board of directors approved the revised policy during a meeting held on May 26, 2026. This code, formulated under Regulation 8 of the SEBI (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations, 2015, mandates the company to ensure prompt public disclosure of UPSI that impacts price discovery, ensuring uniform and universal dissemination to avoid selective disclosure.
The revised policy outlines specific procedures for the handling and dissemination of UPSI. It requires the company to promptly disseminate any information that is disclosed selectively, inadvertently or otherwise. Additionally, the company must ensure an appropriate and fair response to queries on news reports and requests for verification of market rumours by regulatory authorities. The policy also stipulates that information shared with analysts and research personnel must not be UPSI and encourages maintaining transcripts of investor relations conferences on the official website.
Archana Mungunti, Company Secretary, will act as the Chief Investor Relations Officer (CIRO) for the purpose of dealing with the dissemination of information and disclosure of UPSI. The policy emphasizes that all UPSI must be handled on a need-to-know basis. It also includes a framework for determining 'legitimate purpose' for sharing UPSI, which includes sharing with partners, lenders, auditors, and legal advisors, provided it is not done to circumvent regulations.
The policy defines UPSI broadly to include financial results, dividends, changes in capital structure, mergers, acquisitions, and key managerial personnel changes. It also covers events such as fraud, defaults, forensic audits, regulatory actions, and material litigation. The guidelines for materiality referred to in Schedule III of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, will be applicable for identifying such events.
