Aptech Board Consents to Reclassify Utpal Sheth from Promoter to Public Shareholder
Aptech Limited's Board of Directors met on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, to consider and approve the request for the reclassification of Mr. Utpal Sheth from the 'Promoter Group' category to the 'Public' category.The company received a request letter dated April 29, 2026, from Mr. Utpal Sheth concerning this reclassification.
The Board of Directors noted that as of the date of the request letter, Mr. Utpal Sheth held 9,08,000 shares, accounting for 1.57% of the paid-up equity share capital of Aptech Limited.
The Board reviewed the details and confirmed that Mr. Utpal Sheth affirmed several conditions, including that he does not together hold more than 10% of the total voting rights, does not exercise control over the company's affairs directly or indirectly, and is not involved in the management of the company in any capacity. Furthermore, he stated he is not represented on the Board of Directors and shall not be so represented for a period of 3 years from the date of shareholder approval.
The Board observed that the primary rationale for seeking reclassification is that Mr. Utpal Sheth retired from his position as Director on September 19, 2025. Since his retirement, he has not been involved in the day-to-day affairs, management, or decision-making processes of the Company. His association with the company is presently limited to that of a shareholder, without managerial or administrative involvement.
The Board, after discussion and analysis, passed resolutions granting consent for the reclassification of Mr. Utpal Sheth from the 'Promoter Group' category to the 'Public' category. This consent is subject to the necessary approval of the shareholders and other appropriate statutory authorities.
The resolutions further authorized Ms. Shruti Laud, Company Secretary and Compliance Officer, and/or any Director of the Company, to undertake all necessary actions, including filing applications and executing documents required to give effect to this resolution.
