Vivo Bio Tech has initiated a postal ballot process seeking shareholder approval for the re-appointment of a Whole-time Director and two related party transactions, including a potential annual engagement worth ₹30 crore with Virinchi Limited. The company has scheduled remote e-voting from June 15, 2026, to July 14, 2026, to pass resolutions on these matters, which are critical for its strategic leadership and operational continuity.

The first resolution seeks the re-appointment of Mr. Kalyan Ram Mangipudi (DIN: 02012580) as Whole-time Director.

The company stated that the remuneration will comply with the limits under Sections 197 and 198 of the Companies Act, 2013, and Schedule V thereto.

Shareholders will also vote on appointing Mrs. Madhavi Latha Kompella, a Promoter, as an Advisor for Strategy & Business Development for a term of five years from October 01, 2026, to September 30, 2031. The appointment involves a fixed fee of ₹15,00,000 per month and reimbursement of actual expenses incurred for travel and lodging.

The third resolution requests approval for material related party transactions with Virinchi Limited, where Vivo Bio Tech holds a 5.38% stake. The company seeks approval to enter into transactions involving the availing of software consultancy services and the transfer of resources or inter-corporate loans. The aggregate value of these transactions shall not exceed ₹30,00,00,000 during a financial year. Inter-corporate loans, if any, will carry an interest rate of approximately 9% per annum and be repayable within 12 months.
