Sigachi Industries shareholders rejected both resolutions placed before them at the company’s first extraordinary general meeting for FY27 held on September 15, 2026. The proposals included a preferential issue of convertible warrants and an increase in authorized share capital.
The meeting, conducted via video conference under SEBI Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements Regulations, commenced at 11:00 am and concluded at 11:28 am. A total of 58 members attended, satisfying the quorum requirement.
Key Resolutions
The Board of Directors placed two special business items before the shareholders:
- Increase in the authorized share capital and consequent alteration of the capital clause in the Memorandum of Association.
- Issue of up to 11,00,00,000 convertible warrants to promoters and non-promoters on a preferential basis.
Voting Results
As per the Scrutinizer's Report dated September 16, 2026, neither resolution received the requisite majority.
