Prostarm Info Systems Limited has scheduled a postal ballot to seek shareholder approval for varying the utilization of its Initial Public Offer (IPO) proceeds and amending its employee stock option plan. The company proposes to reallocate ₹1,248.31 lakhs, originally earmarked for inorganic growth and general corporate purposes, towards funding working capital requirements. This reallocation aims to strengthen liquidity and improve cash flow stability as the company expands its operations.
The postal ballot notice was sent to members whose names appear in the Register of Members or List of Beneficial Owners as on the cut-off date of Friday, May 22, 2026. The Board of Directors approved the appointment of Mr. Sandeep Parekh, Proprietor of M/s. Sandeep P Parekh & Co, as the scrutinizer to oversee the e-voting process. The resolutions require approval as special resolutions.
IPO Proceeds Variation
The company raised net proceeds of ₹14,494.14 lakhs through its IPO pursuant to the prospectus dated May 30, 2025. As of March 31, 2026, the company had utilized ₹13,245.83 lakhs, leaving an unutilized amount of ₹1,248.31 lakhs. The management decided against deploying these funds in acquisitions due to a lack of suitable opportunities meeting strategic and financial parameters.
The proposed variation involves shifting the unutilized funds from the object of “Achieving inorganic growth through unidentified acquisitions” to “Funding working capital requirements.” The revised unutilized amount is expected to be utilized during the fiscal year 2026-2027. If the resolution is approved but less than 90% of shareholders voting provide assent, the promoters will offer an exit offer to dissenting shareholders.
