Shareholder Participation and E-voting
For both Welspun Specialty Solutions and Apollo Tyres, members holding shares in physical or dematerialized form as of their respective cut-off dates are eligible to vote.

The voting rights of members for both companies will be in proportion to their share of the paid-up equity share capital as on the respective cut-off dates. Any person acquiring shares and becoming a member after the dispatch of the notice but holding shares as of the cut-off date can obtain login credentials for e-voting by sending a request to the designated email addresses or contacting the Company/Registrar & Transfer Agent. Existing users registered with CDSL and NSDL for remote e-voting can use their existing user IDs and passwords.
