The AGM will consider ordinary resolutions approving material related-party transactions with three entities: Rekha Bhandari, Prajal Bhandari, and Prajal Nutrifoods Private Limited. These transactions are classified as material under Regulation 23 of the SEBI Listing Regulations.

The proposed limits for each counterparty over a three-year period (September 30, 2026, to September 30, 2029) are as follows:
