Orient Technologies Board of Directors approved amendments to the Code of Practices and Procedures for Fair Disclosure of Unpublished Price Sensitive Information (UPSI) on October 19, 2026. The revised code, formulated under SEBI (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations, 2015, is effective from the date of approval.

The amendment was passed via circular resolution. The updated framework replaces the previous code, which was originally effective from October 16, 2023. The company has made the document available on its official website under the Policies, Codes & Other Documents section.

Key provisions of the amended code

The code mandates prompt public disclosure of UPSI once credible and concrete information emerges. It emphasizes uniform dissemination to avoid selective disclosure and designates the Company Secretary as the Chief Investor Relations Officer (CIRO). The CIRO is responsible for overseeing disclosures to stock exchanges, shareholders, and media, ensuring no selective sharing with analysts or investors.

Handling of market rumors

The company will generally not respond to market rumors unless required by law or necessary to prevent a false market. If a material price movement triggers a requirement under Regulation 30(11), the CIRO must assess whether mainstream media reports indicate circulating rumors of specific events. The company commits to disseminating any clarifications promptly through stock exchanges and its website.

Digital database and compliance

Orient Technologies will maintain a structured digital database of persons receiving UPSI for legitimate purposes. This database includes names and Permanent Account Numbers (PANs) or other authorized identifiers. The records must be preserved for at least eight years after transaction completion, or until the conclusion of any investigation proceedings if notified by the Board.

Violations of the policy regarding UPSI sharing may result in disciplinary action and reporting to SEBI and stock exchanges. The responsibility for adherence lies with both the sharer and the recipient of the information.

Orient Technologies Limited held its 29th Annual General Meeting on September 23, 2026. Shareholders approved the adoption of audited standalone and consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, alongside the reappointment of a retiring director.

The meeting was conducted via Video Conferencing and Other Audio-Visual Means, in compliance with Ministry of Corporate Affairs guidelines. The Board’s report and Auditors’ report were also considered and adopted as part of the ordinary business transacted during the session.

Voting Results and Attendance

The scrutinizer's report confirmed that all resolutions stated in the AGM notice were duly passed by the members. A total of 89,446 members were recorded as on the cut-off date of September 16, 2025. While no shareholders attended in person or through proxy, 39 shareholders attended through Video Conferencing, comprising 13 from the promoter group and 26 from the public.

The voting outcomes for the two ordinary resolutions are detailed below:

Director Reappointment

The meeting addressed the retirement by rotation of Mr. Umesh Navnitlal Shah (DIN: 00111751). Being eligible and offering himself for reappointment, shareholders passed an ordinary resolution to appoint him as a director in his place. The resolution secured overwhelming support from both promoter and public shareholders.

Meeting Details and Attendees

The proceedings commenced at 3:00 pm and concluded at 3:20 pm, with e-voting remaining open for fifteen additional minutes until 3:35 pm for members present who had not voted earlier. Remote e-voting had commenced on September 20, 2026, and closed on September 22, 2026.

The following directors attended the meeting:

Key managerial personnel and auditors also attended, including Chief Financial Officer Shailesh Mandani and Company Secretary Sayli Munj. Kirtane and Pandit LLP representative Samir Ahmed, Secretarial Auditor Alwyn D'souza, and Internal Auditor Santosh Ghag were present in their respective capacities.

What the Numbers Show

The high number of registered shareholders (89,446) relative to the company's scale indicates a broad retail shareholder base. However, actual participation was low, with only 39 shareholders attending via video conferencing out of nearly 90,000 eligible members. Despite low attendance, the voting outcome reflects strong alignment between promoters and participating public shareholders, with less than 0.01% dissenting votes across both key resolutions.
