Corrigendum to the Postal Ballot Notice - what it changes
The company has issued a corrigendum dated October 12, 2026 to its Postal Ballot Notice dated August 14, 2026, which was circulated to members on September 25, 2026. The corrigendum is being circulated electronically to members whose email addresses are registered with NSDL, CDSL and/or the Registrar and Share Transfer Agent as on September 22, 2026, the original cut-off date.
What was corrected
- The resolution appointing Mr. Ajay Shriram Patil (DIN: 01217000) as an Independent Director of the company was described as an "Ordinary Resolution".
- It should have been described as a "Special Resolution", as required under Regulation 25(2A) of the SEBI Listing Regulations.
- Every reference to "Ordinary Resolution" in relation to that appointment is now to be read as "Special Resolution".
- The correction is limited to the classification of the resolution. Its subject matter and the terms of the proposed appointment are not altered.
Why the classification matters
An Ordinary Resolution and a Special Resolution are not passed on the same basis. A Special Resolution requires a higher level of shareholder approval than an Ordinary Resolution. The corrected label therefore tells members that this appointment is being put to vote at a higher approval threshold than the original notice indicated. The corrigendum forms an integral part of the Postal Ballot Notice and is to be read together with it.
Votes already cast
All votes cast in respect of Resolution No. 1, whether cast before or after the corrigendum, will be considered on the basis of the Postal Ballot Notice read together with the corrigendum, and counted for determining the outcome of the Special Resolution.

- The resolution, if approved by the requisite majority, is deemed to have been passed on Tuesday, October 27, 2026.

It has been made available on the company's website, on the websites of BSE Limited and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited, and on the e-voting website of NSDL.
