What the numbers show
A divergence in voting patterns emerged between institutional and non-institutional public shareholders for the first resolution. While promoters voted 100% in favor, public institutions showed a split vote with 57.07% in favor and 42.93% against. In contrast, public non-institutions supported the resolution with 99.97% in favor. This suggests that while retail investors largely backed the appointment of Mr. Shah, institutional investors expressed significant reservations, though not enough to impact the overall outcome given the promoter group's dominant holding.
For the second resolution, both public institutions and non-institutions voted nearly unanimously in favor of Mr. Iyer’s appointment, indicating broader consensus on the addition of an independent director compared to the non-independent role.
