Wockhardt Limited has published a newspaper advertisement regarding the addendum to the notice of its 27th Annual General Meeting (AGM), formally notifying shareholders of a revised schedule and enhanced disclosure requirements. The public notice was published on August 7, 2026, in Business Standard (All India English edition) and Lokmat (Chhatrapati Sambhajnagar edition). This step follows the company’s issuance of the addendum on August 5, 2026, which moved the AGM start time from 3:30 p.m. to 10:30 a.m. Indian Standard Time (IST) on Monday, August 10, 2026. The earlier timing aims to improve shareholder participation in the virtual meeting conducted via Video Conferencing (VC) or Other Audio Visual Means (OAVM).
The publication complies with Regulation 30 read with Schedule III (Part A Para A) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The addendum serves as an integral part of the original AGM notice dated May 4, 2026, and supersedes any conflicting time references in the Annual Report for FY25-26. Shareholders are advised to log in at the new time to ensure they do not miss the commencement of proceedings.
Key Changes in the Addendum
The primary modification concerns the schedule of the virtual meeting. All other contents of the original AGM notice remain unchanged. The updated details are summarized below:

| Start Time | 3:30 p.m. IST | 10:30 a.m. IST |
| Mode | VC/OAVM | VC/OAVM |
Related Party Transaction Disclosures
In addition to the time change, the addendum mandates an insertion into the Explanatory Statement for Item Nos. 5, 6, and 7 of the AGM notice. This insertion aligns with Industry Standards on "Minimum information to be provided to the Audit Committee and Shareholders for approval of Related Party Transactions." The added paragraph confirms that:
- The Audit Committee has received all relevant information regarding the proposed related party transactions.
- The Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer have certified that these transactions are in the interest of the company.
- The Audit Committee has reviewed and approved these transactions prior to their submission to the shareholders.
This disclosure aims to enhance transparency and provide shareholders with adequate information to make informed decisions on matters involving related parties.
Accessing the Documents
The addendum is being circulated electronically to members with registered email addresses. It is also available on the company’s website, alongside the original AGM notice and the Annual Report. Shareholders can access these documents via the National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) e-voting portal as well as the BSE and NSE websites.
