• The board also approved that she will continue in office even though she attains the age of 75 years during this tenure, under Regulation 17(1A) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.
• The re-appointment is subject to the approval of the members of the company by way of a postal ballot.
• Mr Vinayak N Deodhar of V.N. Deodhar & Co., Practicing Company Secretaries, has been appointed as the scrutinizer to conduct the postal ballot process in a fair and transparent manner.
• The board approved the notice of postal ballot along with the explanatory statement seeking members' approval for this matter.

What shareholders will vote on

The resolution is proposed as a special resolution. Members holding shares in physical or dematerialised form as on the cut-off date of October 30, 2026 can cast their vote only through the remote e-voting process.

How and when to vote

• Remote e-voting opens on Wednesday, November 4, 2026 at 9.00 AM and closes on Thursday, December 3, 2026 at 5.00 PM.
• The facility is disabled after that, and votes cast later will not be allowed.

Other items from the same board meeting

• The board approved unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2026. The statutory auditors issued their limited review reports with an unmodified opinion on both.
• The auditors drew attention to Note 2, which covers proceedings the company initiated to recover advances of Rs 1.5 crores from Saboo Films Pvt Ltd and Bharat Film Works. The proceedings are ongoing before the City Civil Court; management considers the amount good and fully recoverable, and no provision has been made against it. The auditors' opinion is not modified on this matter.
• The company's name was changed from Pritish Nandy Communications Limited to PNC Media and Entertainment Limited with effect from August 22, 2026.

How to read this

A re-appointment of an independent director together with a postal ballot is a routine governance step. It indicates continuity on the board for a further five-year term, but it takes effect only if members pass the special resolution. The disclosure is about board composition and the voting process, not about the company's business operations or earnings.
