Meeting Proceedings and Voting Mechanism
The company facilitated participation through Video Conferencing (VC) and Other Audio Visual Means (OAVM). Remote e-voting was available from September 25, 2026, to September 27, 2026. Additionally, shareholders present virtually who had not voted earlier were granted a 15-minute window for e-voting immediately following the meeting's conclusion.
Mr. Mahendrakumar P. Parmar, Advocate, was appointed by the NCLT as the Scrutinizer to ensure fair and transparent scrutiny of the voting process. No speakers registered for the meeting, and no queries or clarifications were raised by equity shareholders during the open floor. The Scrutinizer's report confirmed that no invalid votes were recorded.
Administrative Corrections Noted
During the proceedings, the Chairman addressed a corrigendum regarding Annexure 11 of the meeting notice. The original notice incorrectly referred to the document as the "Complaint Report dated March 24, 2026."

The revised document replaced the earlier version and was made available to stakeholders prior to the vote.

A summary of the proceedings has been uploaded to the company's website, along with the video recording of the meeting. Details of the voting results required under Regulation 44(3) will be submitted separately to the stock exchanges.
What the Numbers Show
The voting pattern reveals strong promoter alignment with the amalgamation, as promoters voted their entire holding in favour. Public institutional investors also displayed unanimous support, suggesting confidence in the strategic rationale of merging Inkia Inks with True Colors. The negligible dissent from public non-institutional holders (0.32% of their votes) indicates broad acceptance among retail shareholders as well.
