Updater Services concluded its 23rd Annual General Meeting on August 25, 2026, securing shareholder approval for its FY26 audited financial statements and the reappointment of key board members.

The meeting, held via video conferencing, saw participation from 47 members (8 promoter group and 39 public). The Board presented the financial results alongside director and auditor reports for adoption. All four resolutions placed before the shareholders were passed with the requisite majority.

Key Resolutions Passed

Shareholders approved several ordinary and special business items during the proceedings. The primary resolutions included:

• Adoption of the audited standalone and consolidated financial statements for FY26.
• Re-appointment of Mrs. Jigyasa Sharma as Executive Director, who was liable to retire by rotation.
• Re-appointment of Mr. Raghunandana Tangirala as Chairperson & Managing Director for a five-year term commencing January 1, 2027, and ending December 31, 2031.

Voting Analysis

The voting results reveal a divergence between promoter and institutional investor sentiment regarding management continuity. While the promoter group voted unanimously (100%) in favor of all resolutions, public institutions expressed notable dissent on the board appointments.

For the reappointment of Mrs. Jigyasa Sharma, 75.18% of votes from public institutions were cast against the resolution. Similarly, for Mr. Raghunandana Tangirala’s five-year term extension, 87.54% of institutional votes were opposed. Despite this significant institutional dissent, the resolutions passed due to the overwhelming support from the promoter group, which holds 39,563,155 shares, and retail investors.

Governance and Compliance

The meeting was declared open by Chairman Mr. Raghunandana Tangirala after confirming the requisite quorum was present. The Company Secretary informed members that the notice had been circulated via email and hosted on the company website and stock exchanges.

Members who had not cast their votes remotely were given a 15-minute window after the meeting's conclusion to vote via the National Securities Depository Limited e-voting system. Alagar & Associates LLP served as the scrutinizer to supervise the e-voting process. The total number of shareholders on the record date of August 19, 2026, was 47,979.
