Rose Merc Limited has issued a corrigendum to its postal ballot notice dated July 14, 2026, to disclose updated shareholding patterns before and after a proposed preferential issue. The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) advised the company to provide these details in compliance with Regulation 28(1) of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The corrigendum specifically addresses Item No. 6 and 7 of the original notice, which seek shareholder approval for the issuance of equity shares and convertible warrants on a preferential basis for cash consideration.
The remote e-voting process for the special businesses commenced on July 15, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. (IST) and will conclude on August 13, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. (IST). The company confirmed that votes already cast by members prior to receiving this corrigendum remain valid. However, shareholders who wish to modify their votes in light of the updated information may do so by emailing the Scrutinizer from their registered email address with their folio number or DP ID and Client ID by the voting deadline. Queries regarding the ballot can be directed to the Company Secretary at least 48 hours before the end of e-voting.
The updated shareholding pattern reflects changes resulting from recent allotments and the proposed preferential issue. The total equity capital is projected to increase from 62,16,407 shares to 77,63,241 shares post-issue. This increase accounts for several recent issuances for which listing approval is under process, including equity shares allotted in May, June, and July 2026, as well as shares allotted upon the exercise of stock options under the "RML Employee Stock Option Plan 2024" and "RML Employee Stock Option Plan II, 2023." Additionally, the post-issue pattern assumes full subscription and conversion of 3,00,000 proposed equity shares and 6,06,111 warrants under the current preferential issue.
