What the numbers show
The voting data reveals a high concentration of promoter group influence in non-conflict items, where they voted 53,181,503 shares in favor. However, for related-party transactions involving Transwarranty Finance Limited (a promoter entity), the promoter group abstained or their votes were excluded, leaving public shareholders to decide. In these cases, only 602,201 votes were polled out of 92,515,236 total outstanding votes, indicating low retail participation in specific conflict-of-interest matters despite high overall attendance.
