Vertical A will be demerged into a new listed company led by Ashok Kumar Todi or another AKT Family member. Vertical B will remain with Lux Industries Limited under PKT Family leadership through Pradip Kumar Todi. Vertical C will form another new listed entity managed by Navin Kumar Todi or a KKT Family representative.

Subsidiary Incorporation and Brand Licensing

| Parameter: | WOS 1 | WOS 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Share Capital: | ₹5,00,000 | ₹5,00,000 |

The board also approved revised brand licensing agreements with Biswanath Hosiery Mills Limited for Lux-related brands and separate agreements with three other entities for non-Lux brands including ONN, Lyra, and GenX. The principal "LUX" trademark will remain the exclusive property of BHML and be perpetually licensed to all entities for corporate purposes.
Committee Formation and Next Steps
A committee comprising Chairman Ashok Kumar Todi, Managing Director Pradip Kumar Todi, and Independent Directors Ratnabali Kakkar and Rusha Mitra has been constituted to deliberate the proposed demerger. The implementation requires approvals from regulatory authorities, shareholders, and other stakeholders.
The board meeting commenced at 6:00 p.m. and concluded at 7:40 p.m. on April 23, 2026. Appropriate public disclosures will be made upon formal board approval of the demerger scheme, ensuring compliance with SEBI Listing Regulations and applicable laws.
