Tata Steel Limited has floated a postal ballot notice, ascertaining shareholder consent for key resolutions. The firm is taking advantage of the postal ballot mechanism to make decision-making more transparent and efficient while being in line with regulatory expectations.
Key Points:
Postal Ballot Notice: Released under the Companies Act, 2013, and SEBI Listing Regulations, the notice specifies the voting process and schedule.
Voting Procedure: Shareholders may cast votes remotely using e-voting, with a facility to vote electronically rather than physically submitting ballot forms.
Special Resolutions: Important resolutions like the appointment of directors are covered under the ballot that need approval by the shareholders.
Scrutinizer's Role: A third-party independent scrutinizer is designated to monitor the voting process, protecting the integrity and authenticity of the votes cast.
Disclosure Requirements: The postal ballot results will be made available on the company website and notified to stock exchanges.
This development is an assurance of Tata Steel's commitment towards corporate governance as well as its shareholder engagement that all stakeholders must be involved while making crucial decision-making processes.
