The meeting, chaired by Chairman Navinbhai Dave, was conducted via video conferencing. Of the 313,456,886 equity shares on record as of August 28, 2026, approximately 72.06% were polled for the ordinary business resolutions.

What the Numbers Show
The rejection of the remuneration resolution for Mr. Bhavik Merchant, Mr. Vivek Merchant, and Ms. Vinita Patel was driven entirely by public institutional investors. While public non-institutional shareholders voted overwhelmingly in favor (99.70%), public institutions voted against the measure by a margin of 65.09% to 34.90%. This divergence highlights a distinct disconnect between retail/institutional sentiment on executive compensation packages versus broader corporate governance approvals.
Additionally, the promoter group abstained from voting on the related party transaction resolutions due to conflict of interest, resulting in these votes being counted as invalid for that specific category. Despite this, the related party transactions received sufficient support from public shareholders to pass, securing approximately 62.78% of the valid votes polled.
The Company Secretary confirmed that the scrutinizer’s report and voting results are available on the company’s website and the NSDL e-voting platform.
