Eligibility: what investors need to know

Bonus shares:
The board has approved and recommended a bonus issue in the ratio of 1:1, subject to shareholder approval. Shareholders who hold fully paid-up equity shares of Rs 5 each as on the record date will be entitled to receive 1 bonus share for every 1 share held.

The company has stated that it will inform the record date for determining entitlement to bonus shares in due course (page 1). Until that separate communication is made, the exact record date and corresponding ex-bonus date are not available.

Final dividend:
The board has recommended a final dividend of Rs 3 per equity share of Rs 5 each for the financial year ended 31 March 2026. This dividend is also subject to approval by shareholders at the ensuing Annual General Meeting (page 1).

The record date or book closure period for the purpose of this final dividend will be determined and intimated later (page 1). Only shareholders on the company’s register as on that future record date will be eligible for the final dividend, if approved at the AGM.

Capital structure changes

To support the bonus issue, the board has approved an increase in authorised share capital from Rs 20,00,00,000 (4,00,00,000 equity shares of Rs 5 each) to Rs 40,00,00,000 (8,00,00,000 equity shares of Rs 5 each), along with a corresponding amendment to Clause V of the Memorandum of Association (pages 1 and 5). This is subject to shareholder approval.
