Karachi, In a recent board meeting held on 2nd June 2023, Agha Steel Industries Limited, based in Karachi, has announced significant recommendations for the future of the company. The board has proposed a capital increase by creating new shares and seeking approval for the transmission of Annual Audited Financial Statements through QR-enabled code and web link.
The first recommendation suggests increasing the authorized capital from 6,250 million to 7,250 million by creating 100 million new shares worth Rs.10 each. These shares will be issued as a separate class of shares, known as preference shares, with differential rights and privileges. However, the implementation of this proposal is subject to the approval of shareholders.
The second recommendation involves a more substantial increase in authorized capital from 6,250 million to 10,250 million. This will be achieved by creating 400 million new shares worth Rs.10 each, which includes the previously approved 100 million shares under special business number 1. It is important to note that the ordinary shares, when issued, will carry equal voting rights and rank pari passu with the existing ordinary shares of the company in all respects, as required by the Companies Act, 2017. Again, the shareholders’ approval is necessary for this proposal to move forward.
Additionally, the board has put forth a proposal to seek shareholders’ approval for the transmission of Annual Audited Financial Statements through a QR-enabled code and web link. This technological advancement aims to streamline and enhance the accessibility of financial information for shareholders.
An Extraordinary General Meeting (EOGM) has been scheduled for Thursday, 23rd June 2023. During this meeting, shareholders will have the opportunity to discuss and vote on the proposed capital increase and the transmission of financial statements through digital means.
To facilitate the EOGM and ensure a smooth transition, the Share Transfer Books of Agha Steel Industries Limited will remain closed from 16th June 2023 to 23rd June 2023, inclusive of both dates. This closure period will allow the company to update its records and prepare for the upcoming meeting.
