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. She cited pre-occupation and personal reasons for her departure and confirmed there were no other material reasons for her resignation.

The corresponding resolution, explanatory statement, and disclosures are treated as deleted from the notice. The company has disabled voting for this item, and any votes cast will not be considered.
The withdrawal does not alter the numbering or content of other agenda items. All other business items remain unchanged as per the original notice dispatched on August 27, 2026.

- Appointment of Mr. Joyjeet Bose as an Independent Director.
