Nuvama Wealth Management Limited concluded its 33rd Annual General Meeting (AGM) on September 28, 2026, with shareholders approving all proposed resolutions by requisite majority. The meeting was conducted through video conferencing without physical presence at a common venue.

The Board adopted the audited standalone and consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2026. The auditor's report contained no qualifications, reservations, adverse remarks, or disclaimers. This clean audit opinion signals robust compliance and financial health for the fiscal period.

Voting results and shareholder support

The scrutinizer, M/s. Nilesh Shah and Associates, confirmed that all items set out in the Notice of the AGM were duly approved. Voting results were declared on September 29, 2026, pursuant to Regulation 44 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.

Shareholder participation was high, with 78.50% of outstanding shares polled across the resolutions. The table below summarizes the voting outcome for key governance and capital structure items:

Governance and board composition

The meeting was chaired by Mr. Birendra Kumar, Chairperson of the Board. Due to his status as an interested party in Agenda Item No. 4, Mr. Kamlesh Vikamsey, Chairperson of the Audit Committee, presided over that specific resolution.

Key directors present included:

• Mr. Ashish Kehair, Managing Director & CEO
• Mr. Shiv Sehgal, Executive Director
• Ms. Anisha Motwani, Independent Director
• Mr. Nikhil Kumar Srivastava, Non-executive Director
• Mr. Sameer Kaji, Independent Director
• Mr. Aswin Vikram, Non-executive Director

Mr. Ashish Kehair addressed the members regarding the company's performance for FY26. The Company Secretary, Sneha Patwardhan, briefed attendees on the e-voting procedures managed by MUFG Intime India Private Limited.

What the numbers show

The voting data reveals a divergence in shareholder sentiment regarding board continuity versus capital raising. While the approval for issuing Non-convertible Debentures (NCDs) received near-unanimous support (99.99% in favour), the re-appointment of Independent Director Ms. Anisha Motwani saw the highest dissent among all resolutions, with 1.84% of valid votes cast against her continuation. Similarly, Mr. Birendra Kumar’s re-appointment faced 0.85% opposition. In contrast, the routine adoption of financial statements and the retirement-by-rotation re-appointment of Mr. Aswin Vikram garnered overwhelming support exceeding 99.6%.

This pattern suggests that while institutional and public investors are aligned with the company's strategic financing plans, there is a minor but distinct segment of the shareholder base expressing reservation regarding the tenure of specific independent directors.

Voting and attendance details

A total of 61 members attended the AGM through video conferencing. The requisite quorum under Section 103 of the Companies Act, 2013 was present throughout the meeting.

The total number of shareholders on the record date (September 21, 2026) stood at 1,23,157. Of these, 59 public shareholders and 2 promoter group members participated via video conferencing. The recorded transcript of the AGM will be made available on the company's website in due course.

Promoter PAGAC Ecstasy Pte. Ltd. has increased the debt secured by its pledge over 96,960,340 equity shares of nuvama wealth management to USD 450,000,000. This represents 52.57% of the company’s total share capital. The filing, dated September 11, 2026, confirms the rise from USD 265,000,000 without additional shares being pledged.

Catalyst Trusteeship Limited, acting as onshore security agent, disclosed the creation of encumbrance over 6,18,85,880 equity shares (33.90% of total capital) under Regulation 29(2) of the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011. The disclosure notes that these shares correspond to the original pledge adjusted for a stock split undertaken in December 2025.

Disclosure Details

The amendment and restatement agreement, executed on September 9, 2026, involves a syndicate of lenders including Deutsche Bank AG, Goldman Sachs International Bank, J.P. Morgan Securities Plc, Morgan Stanley Bank, MUFG Bank, Nomura Singapore Limited, and Standard Chartered Bank. DB Trustees (Hong Kong) Limited acts as the offshore security agent.

Key details from the filings include:

• Promoter: PAGAC Ecstasy Pte. Ltd. (wholly owned subsidiary of PAGAC Ecstasy II Pte. Ltd.).
• Encumbered Shares: 96,960,340 shares (52.57% of total capital).
• Onshore Encumbrance: 6,18,85,880 shares (33.90% of total capital) disclosed by Catalyst Trusteeship Limited.
• Reason for Encumbrance: Raising financing for personal use by the promoter.
• Security Cover: The value of the pledged shares was approximately INR 174,238.7 crore as on September 9, 2026, based on a VWAP of ₹1,797 per share.

What the Numbers Show

The promoter has increased its borrowing capacity against the same collateral base, raising the secured debt limit by approximately 70%. The aggregate amount availed is up to USD 450 million, but only USD 265 million has been utilized under the original facility. The additional USD 185 million from the upsize remains unutilized as on September 11, 2026. This results in a security cover ratio of 4.1 times, indicating substantial headroom in the pledged assets relative to the debt obligation.
