Rico Auto Industries Limited has confirmed the book closure period for its 43rd Annual General Meeting (AGM) and dividend payment, running from September 2 to September 8, 2026. The company issued a formal intimation to BSE Limited on August 10, 2026, specifying that the Register of Members and Share Transfer Books will remain closed during this window. This closure is critical for determining eligibility for voting rights at the upcoming AGM and entitlement to any declared dividend for the financial year ended March 31, 2026.

The record date for these purposes is fixed at September 1, 2026. Only shareholders whose names appear in the register of members as of this date will be eligible to participate in the AGM and receive dividend payments. The company emphasized that any share transfers must be completed before the start of the book closure period to ensure inclusion in the register. Failure to meet this timeline may result in exclusion from both the voting process and dividend distribution.

Key Dates for Shareholders

The AGM is scheduled to be held on Tuesday, September 8, 2026, at 12:00 noon via Video Conferencing (VC) or Other Audio-Visual Means (OAVM). This virtual format allows shareholders to participate remotely without physical presence, ensuring broader accessibility while maintaining compliance with Section 108 of the Companies Act, 2013. Remote e-voting will commence on September 5, 2026, at 9:00 am IST and conclude on September 7, 2026, at 5:00 pm IST. Votes cast during this pre-meeting window will be counted alongside those voted during the live session.

Regulatory Compliance and Dividend Payment

The intimation was issued pursuant to Regulation 42 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. Ruchika Gupta, Company Secretary of Rico Auto Industries Limited, signed the disclosure, confirming adherence to regulatory timelines. The company stated that any dividend approved by shareholders during the AGM will be paid within 30 days from the date of declaration. This timeline aligns with standard regulatory requirements for listed entities in India, ensuring timely distribution of profits to eligible shareholders.

What the Numbers Show

The strict adherence to book closure dates highlights the importance of timely share transfer processing for investors. With the record date set at September 1, 2026, shareholders have a narrow window to ensure their holdings are registered before the books close. This procedural rigor ensures that only verified shareholders participate in corporate governance decisions and benefit from potential dividend payouts, reinforcing transparency in corporate practices.

Rico Auto Industries Limited has closed its trading window for dealing in the company's securities effective July 1, 2026. The restriction will remain in effect until 48 hours after the financial results for the first quarter ended June 30, 2026, are declared. This measure is implemented in compliance with the SEBI (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations, 2015.

The company stated that the date of the board meeting, where the financial results will be approved, will be communicated in due course. Consequently, the end date for the trading window closure is subject to the finalization of this board meeting schedule.

All promoters, directors, connected persons, designated persons of the company, and their immediate relatives are advised not to trade in the securities of Rico Auto Industries during this specified period. The intimation was formally signed by Ruchika Gupta, Company Secretary, on June 12, 2026.
