Shahi Shipping Limited confirmed the cessation of Omprakash Ramdin Singh as an independent director effective September 29, 2026. The departure follows the rejection of his re-appointment resolution at the company's 36th Annual General Meeting.
The company filed a disclosure with BSE Limited under Regulation 30 of SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The filing clarified that Mr. Singh’s exit was due to the expiry of his existing term without re-appointment, not resignation or removal. His tenure ended upon the conclusion of the AGM held via video conferencing.
AGM Voting and Regulatory Context
The meeting commenced at 4:00 pm and concluded at 4:15 pm on September 29, 2026. A total of 38 members participated in the proceedings. The voting facility was provided by MUFG Intime Private Limited, with e-voting open from September 26 to September 28, 2026, and for 15 minutes following the conclusion of the meeting.
The special resolution for Mr. Singh’s re-appointment failed to secure the requisite majority. Consequently, it was not deemed approved under Regulation 25(2A) of the SEBI Listing Regulations. This regulatory mechanism mandates that if a shareholder vote fails for a second term, the director must cease holding office immediately upon term expiry.
