Macfos Ltd attributed the delay in submitting its Annual General Meeting (AGM) proceedings to a technical glitch on the BSE Listing Centre portal. The company stated that it was unable to receive the One-Time Password (OTP) required for authentication despite multiple attempts.

The 9th AGM was held on September 7, 2026, via video conferencing. Under Regulation 30(6) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, disclosures regarding general meeting proceedings must be submitted within twelve hours of conclusion. The meeting concluded at 4:40 pm on September 7, but the disclosure was uploaded only on September 8, 2026, at 4:15:40 pm.

Technical Constraints Cited

In its clarification letter to BSE Limited, Macfos Ltd explained that immediately after the meeting, the company attempted to upload the outcome on the BSE Listing Centre. However, the login process failed due to non-receipt of the OTP. The company asserted that the delay was purely due to this system-related issue and not due to any negligence or intent to withhold information.

The company requested the exchange to condone the delay, assuring continued vigilance in compliance matters. It noted that such technical issues would be reported to the Exchange helpdesk promptly in the future.

AGM Proceedings Summary

The AGM transacted ordinary business items including the adoption of audited standalone and consolidated financial statements for FY26. Mr. Nileshkumar Purushottam Chavhan, Whole-Time Director, was re-appointed as he retired by rotation and offered himself for re-appointment.
