The announcement was made on March 22, 2026, in compliance with Regulation 29 of the SEBI Listing (Obligations and Disclosure Requirement) Regulations, 2015.

Key Board Meeting Agenda Items

The board meeting will address three critical corporate actions that could reshape the company's capital structure:

Agenda Item Details Fund Raising Issuance of equity shares or other eligible securities through permissible modes, including Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP) Capital Increase Increase in authorized share capital with consequent alterations to Memorandum and Articles of Association Shareholder Approval Seeking approval through Extra-Ordinary General Meeting or postal ballot

Regulatory Compliance and Trading Window Closure

In accordance with SEBI (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations, 2015, and the company's Code of Conduct for regulating insider trading, MM Forgings Limited has implemented immediate trading restrictions. The trading window for dealing in the company's securities has been closed with immediate effect and will reopen 48 hours after the conclusion of the board meeting.

Corporate Structure and Approvals

The proposed fund raising initiative through equity shares or other eligible securities will require comprehensive regulatory and statutory approvals, including shareholder consent. The company plans to utilize permissible modes for fund raising, with Qualified Institutional Placement being a key consideration subject to necessary approvals.

The proposed increase in authorized share capital will necessitate alterations to the company's foundational documents, including the Capital Clause of the Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association. These changes will require shareholder approval and other regulatory clearances as mandated by applicable regulations.

Shareholder Engagement Process

MM Forgings Limited will seek shareholder approval for the proposed corporate actions through either an Extra-Ordinary General Meeting or postal ballot mechanism, as determined by the board during the scheduled meeting.
