Detailed Overview of the 73rd AGM
Trent Limited's 73rd AGM will be conducted entirely virtually, a measure adopted in adherence to regulatory guidelines aimed at ensuring shareholder participation while maintaining safety and convenience. The deemed venue for the AGM will be the company's registered office in Mumbai. Shareholders will be able to attend and participate in the proceedings electronically.
The Notice of the AGM, along with the Annual Report for the financial year 2024-25, has been dispatched electronically to all members whose email addresses are registered with the company or its depository participants. For wider accessibility, these documents are also available on the company's official website (www.trentlimited.com), the websites of the stock exchanges (BSE Limited at www.bseindia.com and National Stock Exchange of India Limited at www.nseindia.com), and the website of the e-voting agency, NSDL (www.evoting.nsdl.com).
Remote E-voting Facility and Shareholder Eligibility
To facilitate shareholder participation in decision-making, Trent Limited is providing a remote e-voting facility through National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL). Shareholders holding shares either in physical form or in dematerialized form as of the cut-off date, which is Friday, July 5, 2025, will be eligible to cast their votes electronically on the resolutions set forth in the AGM Notice.
The remote e-voting window will commence on Monday, July 8, 2025, at 9:00 AM (IST) and will conclude on Thursday, July 11, 2025, at 5:00 PM (IST). It is important for shareholders to note that the remote e-voting module will be disabled by NSDL after this deadline, and votes cast through this facility cannot be altered subsequently. The detailed procedure for remote e-voting is outlined in the Notice of the AGM.
Participation and Voting Instructions for Shareholders
Shareholders have multiple avenues to exercise their voting rights. Those who have cast their vote through remote e-voting prior to the AGM can still attend the virtual meeting but will not be eligible to vote again during the AGM proceedings.
For members who are attending the AGM via VC/OAVM and have not exercised their right to vote through remote e-voting, a facility for e-voting during the AGM will be made available. This ensures that all eligible shareholders have an opportunity to participate in the voting process.
The company has also provided guidance for shareholders whose email addresses are not registered. Such members are encouraged to register or update their email addresses with the company or their respective depository participants by following the procedure detailed in the AGM Notice. This is crucial for receiving future communications, including User IDs and Passwords from NSDL for remote e-voting. Shareholders holding shares in physical form whose email IDs or mobile numbers are not registered can temporarily access the Notice of AGM and Annual Report from the aforementioned websites and can cast their vote through remote e-voting by following the instructions in the Notice.
Regulatory Compliance and Shareholder Communication
The arrangements for the 73rd AGM and e-voting are in strict compliance with the circulars issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) and the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). These regulations facilitate corporate governance practices, allowing companies to conduct AGMs virtually and provide electronic voting options, thereby ensuring wider shareholder participation irrespective of geographical location.
Trent Limited's proactive communication through newspaper advertisements and electronic dispatch of AGM documents underscores its commitment to transparency and shareholder engagement. The company has also ensured that copies of the newspaper advertisements are available on its website, www.trentlimited.com, for easy reference.
