Zeal Aqua has confirmed the schedule for its 18th Annual General Meeting (AGM), set for Wednesday, September 30, 2026. The company also issued a revised filing to correct a Director Identification Number (DIN) error in its earlier disclosure regarding director re-appointments.

The AGM will be held via Video Conferencing or Other Audio-Visual Means (OAVM) at 4:30 pm. This follows a board meeting on September 5, 2026, which approved key agenda items including the re-appointment of Mr. Dhavalkumar Shantilal Patel as Whole-time Director.

E-Voting Schedule

The cut-off date for determining eligibility to vote electronically is Wednesday, September 23, 2026. The e-voting window opens on September 27, 2026, at 9:00 am and closes on September 29, 2026, at 5:00 pm. National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) has been appointed to enable the e-voting platform.

Director DIN Correction

On September 7, 2026, Zeal Aqua submitted a revised intimation to BSE Limited under Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The correction addresses an inadvertent error in the attachment of the initial filing dated September 5, 2026, concerning the re-appointment of Mr. Dhavalkumar Shantilal Patel as Whole-time Director.

The corrected DIN (02961674) aligns with previous disclosures regarding the rectification of director appointment terms approved by the board. The company clarified that there is no change in the substantive information or disclosure contained in the original intimation.

Board Meeting Approvals

The board meeting held on September 5, 2026, also approved:

• Rectification of appointment terms for Managing Director Pradipkumar Ratilal Navik and Whole-time Directors Shantilal Ishwarlal Patel and Rohan Pradipkumar Navik.
• Re-appointment of Mr. Dhavalkumar Shantilal Patel as Whole-time Director for a three-year term beginning September 22, 2027, subject to shareholder approval.
• Approval of the Directors' Report and annexures for FY26.
• Appointment of Manish R. Patel as Secretarial Auditor for five years.

Mr. Dhaval S Patel, son of Whole-Time Director Mr. Shantilal Patel, has served on the board since September 22, 2017. His primary responsibility is overseeing the purchasing process to secure quality raw materials at competitive prices.

All these matters require shareholder approval at the upcoming AGM. Members without registered email addresses have been sent letters with web-links to access the Annual Report for Financial Year 2025-26 via the company website, Registrar and Transfer Agent (Bigshare Services Private Limited), and BSE Limited.

Zeal Aqua shareholders approved the continuation of Mr. Shantilal Ishwarlal Patel as Whole-Time Director on August 28, 2026, despite his attainment of the age of 70 years. The resolution passed with overwhelming support, securing 99.99% of votes in favour.

The approval was secured via a Special Resolution at the company's Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM), held through video conferencing and other audio-visual means. This decision aligns with Section 196(3)(a) of the Companies Act, 2013, which allows directors to continue in office beyond the age limit with member consent.
