Mirza International company name shareholders approved the reappointment of Tauseef Ahmad Mirza, Faraz Mirza, Tasneef Ahmad Mirza, and Shahid Ahmad Mirza, alongside the new appointment of Aqeel Ahmad Khan as Whole-time Director. The resolutions were passed at the company’s 47th Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on August 1, 2026. This outcome ensures leadership continuity for the leather goods manufacturer but highlights a significant governance divergence, as public institutional investors voted overwhelmingly against the reappointment of the existing Mirza family directors despite unanimous promoter support.

The appointments were recommended by the Remuneration and Compensation Committee and approved by the Board of Directors on May 29, 2026. The disclosures were made pursuant to Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, and referenced SEBI Master Circular HO/49/14/14(7)2025-CFD-POD2/I/3762/2026 dated January 30, 2026. Additionally, the filings confirmed compliance with BSE circular no. LIST/COMP/14/2018-19 and NSE circular no. NSE/CML/2018/24, dated June 20, 2018, stating that none of the appointees are debarred from holding office.

Director Appointments and Tenures

The AGM approved specific effective dates and three-year tenures for each role, formalizing the management structure:

Director Profiles and Relationships

Tauseef Ahmad Mirza, Tasneef Ahmad Mirza, and Shahid Ahmad Mirza are brothers. Faraz Mirza is the son of Shahid Ahmad Mirza.

Shahid Ahmad Mirza brings approximately four decades of experience in leather goods technology and oversees the Shoe Division. His brother, Tasneef Ahmad Mirza, holds a diploma in Leather Technology from Leicester University and manages the Tannery Division with over two decades of experience. Tauseef Ahmad Mirza, who holds a Diploma in Shoe Technology from the UK, has more than three decades of experience in the leather industry and focuses on expanding into new markets through brand partnerships.

Faraz Mirza, who holds a degree from the United States, oversees overseas marketing, production, and day-to-day operations. He is also responsible for the e-commerce and domestic retail operations of the men’s footwear brand, Thomas Crick.

Aqeel Ahmad Khan, the newly appointed Whole-time Director, brings 17 years of experience in industrial relations. He specializes in coordinating with government institutions, including the Pollution Control Board, District Industries Centre (DIC), Fire Department, and local administration authorities.

Voting Dynamics

The voting results revealed a stark contrast between shareholder categories. The promoter group, holding 100,876,282 shares, voted 100% in favor of all resolutions. In contrast, public institutional investors, holding 194,712 shares, voted against the reappointment of Faraz Mirza, Tauseef Ahmad Mirza, Tasneef Ahmad Mirza, and Shahid Ahmad Mirza. Public non-institutional investors largely supported the resolutions, with approval rates above 99%. Aqeel Ahmad Khan’s appointment received broad support, with 99.60% institutional backing.

What the Numbers Show

The unanimous promoter backing ensures governance stability for Mirza International, but the near-total opposition from institutional investors to the reappointment of existing directors suggests concerns about leadership continuity or performance. The strong support for Aqeel Ahmad Khan’s new appointment may indicate investor willingness to embrace fresh leadership. The high participation rate of 73.52% of outstanding shares polled underscores significant shareholder engagement in these governance decisions.

Mirza International Limited has confirmed that its promoters and promoter group have not created any encumbrance on their shares during the financial year ended March 31, 2026. The disclosure, submitted to BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited, ensures that the shareholding structure remains free from pledges or charges, which is critical for shareholder stability and corporate governance.

The declaration was made by Tasneef Ahmad Mirza, a Promoter of Mirza International , on behalf of the promoters and persons acting in concert. This filing was made in compliance with Regulation 31(4) of the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011, which mandates annual disclosures regarding share encumbrances.

The company communicated this information to the exchanges via its Company Secretary and Compliance Officer, Harshita Nagar. The filing confirms that no direct or indirect encumbrance was made by the promoters throughout the specified financial period.

Key Disclosure Details

The absence of encumbrances indicates that the promoters' shareholding is not leveraged against debt or other obligations, reducing the risk of involuntary stake sales. This transparency is required by market regulations to maintain investor confidence regarding the ownership stability of the company.
