To facilitate the commencement of the new line of business, Clause III(A) of the MOA was amended by replacing the existing objects with new object clauses. This alteration was approved by the members of the Company through a Postal Ballot on January 09, 2025.

Furthermore, in order to avail emerging market opportunities and to establish, manage, and operate new platforms in the digital media and advertising domain, it was considered necessary to elaborate the existing objects of the Company further. Accordingly, the Board approved the alteration of Clause III(A) and Clause III(B) of the MOA, which was duly approved by the members of the Company at the Extra-Ordinary General Meeting (EOGM) held on April 15, 2025.

Subsequently, an application was submitted to BSE Limited for obtaining their observation letter in connection with the proposed Scheme. However, BSE Limited returned the application with certain technical observations. It is important to note that the observations raised by BSE Limited were limited to technical aspects, and the Company considers this feedback as constructive input toward strengthening the proposed structure.

Following a detailed evaluation of the regulatory feedback, strategic imperatives, and expert counsel, the Board, at its meeting held on July 02, 2025, resolved to adopt a revised approach. The Company has strategically opted to proceed initially with the acquisition of Mobavenue Media Private Limited, rather than pursuing an immediate amalgamation. This refined strategy is designed to enable faster execution, enhance operational flexibility, and achieve cost efficiencies, thereby aligning more closely with the Company's long-term business objectives. The possibility of implementing the amalgamation at a later stage remains open for consideration.

This forward-looking decision reflects the Company's commitment to maximizing stakeholder value through seamless and timely business integration.

Apart from the developments stated above, there have been no material changes and commitments affecting the financial position of the Company between the end of the FY and the date of this Report.
