According to the terms of issue, the said shares are redeemable on _______. Owing to the loss suffered during the recent past and having still inadequate liquid surplus available, the Company is unable to find the sources for the redemption of the said shares on the due dates of their redemption. It is also necessary for the company to conserve its financial resources in order to improve the working capital base. Hence, the company is not in a position to redeem the shares on the due dates.
It is therefore, proposed to extend the date of redemption in respect of the said shares by a period of two years from their due date of redemption so that the said shares shall be redeemed on _________. Moreover, it is also proposed to reduce the rate of dividend from 16% to 10% in view of the changing interest rate scenario. However, other terms of issue shall remain unchanged.
The consent of the holders of the said shares is required to be obtained in terms of the provisions of Section 106 of the Companies Act, 1956, since the date of redemption of the said shares is being extended and dividend rates are reduced from 16% to 10%, resulting in a variation in the rights attached to the said shares.
The proposed variation, being in the interest of the Company and its shareholders, is recommended for the acceptance of the members. You are requested to sign and return to the Company one copy of this in token of your consent to the variations as proposed above and a copy of the resolution passed in the meeting.
