The company scheduled the meeting for September 22, 2026, to be held via Video Conferencing or Other Audio-Visual Means.

Ms. Isabella, who was appointed as an Additional Director in the category of Non-Executive Independent by the Board on August 10, 2026, tendered her resignation effective September 4, 2026.
