What shareholders are being asked to approve

DB (International) Stock Brokers has convened its 1st Extra-Ordinary General Meeting for the financial year 2026-27 on Wednesday, November 18, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. through video conferencing / other audio-visual means. The business before members is a Special Resolution seeking their consent for the proposed transfer of the company's retail client business.

• Carve-out: the retail client business being transferred excludes the company's proprietary trading business and the High-Net-Worth Individual (HNI) client business, identified as Branch 1001.
• First buyer: the retail Trading Business and Depository Participant (DP) Business, to Choice Equity Broking Private Limited.
• Second buyer: the Mutual Fund Distribution Business and other Financial Products Distribution Business, to Choice Wealth Private Limited.

The consideration

• Retail trading and DP business: Rs.4.5 crore (Rupees Four Crores Fifty Lakhs only)
• Mutual fund distribution and other financial products distribution: Rs.50 lakh (Rupees Fifty Lakhs only)
• Aggregate consideration: Rs.5 crore (Rupees Five Crores only)

The transfer is proposed to go together with the relevant client relationships, contracts, rights, interests, records, data, specified assets and liabilities, employees and other properties, rights and obligations, to the extent legally transferable, under Business Transfer Agreement(s) and related transaction documents.

What else the resolution covers

• The board, or any committee or person it authorises, is empowered to sell, transfer, assign and/or otherwise dispose of the retail client business.
• Completion is subject to approvals, consents, permissions and no-objection certificates from SEBI, the concerned stock exchanges, depositories and other regulators, and to client consents where applicable.
• The board is authorised to negotiate, finalise, settle and execute the transfer agreements and to decide the detailed terms, the manner and timing of completion, allocation of assets and liabilities, and transitional arrangements.

Voting and participation

• Remote e-voting window: Sunday, November 15, 2026 to Tuesday, November 17, 2026; the cut-off date for eligibility is Wednesday, November 11, 2026.
• Results of the e-voting are to be announced on or before Friday, November 20, 2026, and will be displayed on the company website, on the CDSL e-voting site and intimated to the stock exchanges.
• Mr. Surya Kant Gupta, Practicing Company Secretary, has been appointed as the Scrutinizer for the remote e-voting process.

How to read this for a retail investor

The proposal reshapes what the company continues to own: the retail trading and depository participant operations plus the mutual fund and financial products distribution operations are proposed to move to two Choice group entities, while proprietary trading and the HNI client business (Branch 1001) stay outside the transfer. The money received is an aggregate Rs.5 crore, and completion is conditional on regulatory and client approvals. Because the transfer needs a Special Resolution, the outcome rests on how shareholders vote; the notice itself is the summoning document for that meeting rather than a record of a decision already taken.
