Shashank Traders Limited has notified BSE Limited of the cessation of two directors from its Board, effective 5th May 2026.

Director Cessation Details
The Board of Shashank Traders Limited passed a resolution on 5th May 2026, recording the cessation of Mr. Keval Mahendra Bhai Shah and Ms. Hansa Mehta as directors of the company with immediate effect. The key details as disclosed under Regulation 30 are summarised below:
| Parameter: | Details |
|---|---|
| Directors Ceased: | Mr. Keval Mahendra Bhai Shah and Ms. Hansa Mehta |
| Reason for Cessation: | Deactivation of DIN due to non-filing of DIR-3 KYC |
| Date of Cessation: | 5th May 2026 |
| Board Resolution Date: | 5th May 2026 |
| Regulatory Reference: | Regulation 30, SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015 |
Reason for Cessation
The cessation of both directors was triggered by the deactivation of their Director Identification Numbers (DINs) on account of non-filing of DIR-3 KYC. As a result of such deactivation, Mr. Keval Mahendra Bhai Shah and Ms. Hansa Mehta were rendered unable to act as directors of the company, and the Board accordingly recorded their cessation from the directorship.
Context: Ongoing Open Offer Process
Shashank Traders Limited further disclosed that the company has recently made an open offer for the acquisition of shares in accordance with the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011. In light of the ongoing compliances and regulatory requirements associated with the open offer process, the continuation of directors with deactivated DINs was not considered feasible. The cessation was therefore recorded to ensure smooth regulatory compliance during this period.
Regulatory Disclosure
The disclosure was made in accordance with Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, read with SEBI Circular No. HO/49/14/14(7)2025-CFD-POD2/I/3762/2026 dated January 30, 2026. The company has requested BSE Limited to take the information on record. The intimation was digitally signed by Praveen Jain, Managing Director, on 6th May 2026.
