Association of the Company be replaced by the following amended Article No.

consolidation is required to be made to comply with any statutory order or an

order of a competent Court of Law or a request from a Member to convert his

odd lot of shares into transferable/marketable lots, subject however, to

verification by the Company."

Explanatory Statement

In view of the mounting costs of servicing small shareholders

disproportionate to the investment of such small shareholders in the share capital

of the Company, it is proposed to introduce reasonable restrictions in regard to

acceptance of transfer of shares and request for sub-division or consolidation of

shares involving small numbers. In recent years, the cost of postage, paper,

printing and other administrative services has considerably escalated which has

already prompted many companies to prescribe minimum number of shares

involved in any transfer, sub-division or consolidation of shares. In fact, a few

years before, in appreciation of the aforesaid fact, the Government of India had

prescribed a market lot of 100 shares in respect of new issues for subscripttion by

public.

The Board of Directors, having taken note of the above, consider that in

respect of transfers a minimum of 25 shares and in respect of sub-division and

consolidation market lot viz. 100 shares may be regarded reasonable. Necessary

amendments to the Articles of Association are proposed in the resolutions

contained under items ......... and ........... for transfer of shares by the existing

shareholders holding less than 25 shares and in respect of sub-division and

consolidation of shares below marketable lots respectively.

None of the Directors is concerned or interested in this resolution.

5. Guidelines

(1) In the case of listed companies, approval of the stock exchange

concerned is also required.

(2) The minimum number is normally the marketable lot. Presently, after the

demat system marketable lot is one share in case of a listed company.

(3) This resolution is intended to reduce administrative work and expenses.

(4) Only permissible restrictions on transferability of shares contained in the

company's Articles of Association are applicable. Any restriction outside

the Articles is inoperative and unenforceable. [Rangraj (V.B.) v

Gopalakrishnan (V.B.) (1992) 73 Comp Cas 201 (SC)]

6. Filing

(a) E-Form 23 with the Registrar within 30 days of passing of special

resolution for alteration of Articles.
