The ASM Technologies EGM held on 4 October 2026 considered proposals for a preferential issue of securities and the appointment of an independent woman director, according to the company's BSE filing dated the same day. The proceedings disclosure said voting results and the scrutinizer's report would be released separately in due course.

The extraordinary general meeting took place through video conferencing, beginning at 10:00 a.m. and concluding at 10:54 a.m. Chairman M R Vikram presided over the meeting, which was attended by 37 members through video conferencing.

After the company secretary confirmed that the requisite quorum was present, the chairman declared the meeting validly convened. He welcomed shareholders, directors, auditors and key managerial personnel.

Two special resolutions before shareholders

The meeting placed the following business before members for consideration and approval, with both items requiring special resolutions:

  • To offer, issue and allot securities of the company on a preferential basis.
  • To appoint Amrita Verma Chowdhury, DIN 02178520, as a non-executive, independent woman director and fix her remuneration.

The supplied proceedings did not specify the size, pricing or proposed recipients of the preferential securities issue. They also did not declare either resolution approved; the company said the results would be filed after receipt of the scrutinizer's report within the stipulated time.

The chairman invited members to comment or ask questions on the resolutions and the company's business. Management responded to the queries raised by members.

Voting results to follow

Members had access to electronic voting on all resolutions. Those attending the EGM who had not already voted electronically could cast their votes at the end of the meeting. A live webcast was also available on the KFin Technologies platform.

Pramod S.M., partner at BMP & Co. LLP and a practising company secretary, was appointed scrutinizer for remote e-voting and voting at the EGM. He was requested to compile the consolidated report within the stipulated time.

ASM Technologies said the voting results and scrutinizer's report would be submitted to BSE and published on its website. The company clarified that the disclosed summary should not be construed as the minutes of the EGM.
