Sakthi Finance has closed its trading window for designated persons, connected persons, and their immediate relatives effective Wednesday, 1 July 2026. The restriction will remain in force until forty-eight hours after the declaration of the unaudited financial results for the quarter ending 30 June 2026. This measure is implemented to ensure compliance with the SEBI (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations 2015 and the company's internal code of conduct for trading by insiders.

During this closure period, all specified individuals are prohibited from trading in the company's securities. The company has instructed these categories of persons to refrain from buying or selling shares during the specified timeframe. The trading window closure encompasses both the start date and the date of result declaration.

The Board Meeting to consider and approve the unaudited financial results for the quarter ending 30 June 2026 has not yet been scheduled. The company stated that the date for this meeting will be intimated in due course. The financial results for Q1FY27 will be released following this board approval.

This intimation has been uploaded to the company's official website and is submitted to BSE Limited to fulfill regulatory compliance requirements. S Venkatesh, Company Secretary and Chief Compliance Officer, signed the disclosure on behalf of Sakthi Finance Limited.

Sakthi Finance Limited has filed its Annual Secretarial Compliance Report for the financial year ended 31 March 2026, confirming adherence to key SEBI regulations while noting a technical non-compliance regarding the appointment of a senior director. The report, submitted to BSE Limited, was issued by CS R Dhanasekaran, a practicing company secretary and secretarial auditor of the company.

The audit covered the company's compliance with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, and other relevant circulars. While the overall compliance status was positive, the report highlighted a specific deviation concerning Regulation 17(1A) of the SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015.

The non-compliance arose from a time lag between the Board's appointment of a non-executive independent director over the age of 75 and the subsequent approval by shareholders. The Board appointed the director on 14.08.2025, but the members' approval via Special Resolution was obtained only on 27.09.2025. This delay constituted a technical violation of the regulation, which requires such appointments to be approved by a special resolution.

In response to the observation, the management stated that there is no specific requirement in the regulation for prior approval before the appointment. The company argued that the term "unless" in the regulation does not imply prior approval. However, the management acknowledged the compliance framework and reaffirmed its commitment to strong corporate governance practices.

The report confirmed that the company has complied with all other provisions of the SEBI Act, SCRA, and related regulations. It also verified that no actions were taken by SEBI or stock exchanges against the entity, its promoters, or directors during the review period. Additionally, there were no resignations of statutory auditors, and the company does not have any material subsidiaries.
