Mihika Industries Limited has scheduled its book closure for the 43rd Annual General Meeting (AGM), with the register of members and share transfer books remaining closed from Tuesday, August 25, 2026, to Tuesday, September 1, 2026. This closure is essential for determining the list of shareholders eligible to participate in the meeting and exercise their voting rights via electronic voting. The company issued this intimation pursuant to Regulation 42 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.

Key Dates for Shareholders

Shareholders need to adhere to specific cutoff dates to ensure their eligibility for various aspects of the AGM process. The primary cutoff date for determining shareholders entitled to receive the notice of the AGM is August 7, 2026. For those wishing to participate in e-voting during the 43rd AGM, the relevant record date aligns with the start of the book closure period on August 25, 2026.

The company’s Managing Director, Bipin Becharbhai Prajapati, signed the intimation letter dated August 11, 2026, which was submitted to BSE Limited. The notification confirms that both the start and end dates of the book closure are inclusive. This procedural step ensures that the company can accurately identify its shareholder base at a specific point in time, facilitating transparent corporate governance and compliance with regulatory listing obligations.

Regulatory Compliance and Governance

The announcement underscores Mihika Industries’ adherence to statutory requirements under the SEBI LODR Regulations. By clearly defining the cutoff dates for notice entitlement versus voting eligibility, the company provides clarity to investors regarding their rights and timelines. The distinction between the August 7 cutoff for notices and the August 25 cutoff for e-voting reflects standard practice in Indian listed companies, allowing sufficient time for dispatching communications while maintaining an accurate register for the actual meeting proceedings. Investors holding shares before the respective cutoff dates will retain their rights to attend, vote, and receive dividends if declared during the AGM.

Mihika Industries has replaced its statutory auditor following the resignation of S K Bhavsar & Co., effective August 10, 2026. The firm cited recent changes in the company’s management alongside other professional commitments as reasons for stepping down, clarifying that the resignation was not due to any fraud or non-compliance. The Board of Directors subsequently appointed M/s. Kapil Kumar Aggarwal & Associates to fill the casual vacancy and recommended their appointment for a five-year term, subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming Annual General Meeting.

The Board meeting held on August 10, 2026, at the corporate office in Ahmedabad, addressed several governance matters in compliance with Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The Audit Committee reviewed the resignation of S K Bhavsar & Co., noting no concerns regarding the management of the company. Consequently, the Board moved forward with appointing M/s. Kapil Kumar Aggarwal & Associates (FRN: 008174C) as the interim statutory auditor until the conclusion of the 43rd Annual General Meeting.

Auditor Appointments

The Board recommended two distinct appointments for M/s. Kapil Kumar Aggarwal & Associates. First, they were appointed to fill the casual vacancy arising from the resignation of S K Bhavsar & Co. Second, the Board sought shareholder approval for their appointment as Statutory Auditors for a period of five years, covering financial years FY26 to FY31. This long-term tenure would begin after the conclusion of the 43rd AGM and extend until the conclusion of the 48th AGM in 2031.

In addition to the statutory auditor change, the Board approved the appointment of M/s. Jay Pandya & Associates (FRN: S2024GJ963300) as the Secretarial Auditor. This appointment is made pursuant to Regulation 24A of the SEBI Listing Regulations and Section 204 of the Companies Act, 2013. The firm will undertake the secretarial audit for one term of five consecutive years, from FY26 to FY31, subject to shareholder approval.

Corporate Governance Updates

The Board also considered the shifting of the company’s registered office from West Bengal to Gujarat. The proposal involves moving the address from Rajarhat, Kolkata, to the existing corporate office at Titanium City Centre in Ahmedabad. This move requires requisite approvals from shareholders and regulatory authorities.

The 43rd Annual General Meeting is scheduled for September 1, 2026, at 3:00 P.M. (IST). The meeting will be conducted through Video Conferencing or Other Audio Visual Means. Shareholders will vote on the appointments of the statutory and secretarial auditors, as well as the shift of the registered office.
