The Authorised, Issued, Subscribed and Paid-Up Share Capital of the Applicant Company as on 31.03.2026 is as under: Particulars Amount (in Rs.)

The Ld. Counsel for the Applicant further submits that the rationale for Capital Reduction is that: a) The Company has, over the years, incurred losses in its paper business, resulting in an erosion of its net worth. As per the limited reviewed financial statements for the six months period ended on 30'h September, 2025, the accumulated losses stand at Rs. 2,78,39,19,643/- (Rupees Two Hundred Seventy-Eight Crores Thirty-Nine Lakhs Nineteen Thousand Six Hundred and Forty-Three Only). Consequently, the existing share capital no longer reflects the true financial position and performance of the Company. At present, the Company does not have any major business operations. The management is, however, evaluating and considering new business opportunities, including the commencement of real estate-related activities. In order to support this proposed transition and to ensure that the financial statements present a true and fair view of the Company's financial position. Page 4 of 8 IN THE NATIONAL COMPANY LAW TRIBUNAL, MUMBAI COURT - IV C.P./214(MB)2026 b) The Company's existing equity share capital no longer reflects the economic realities given its current financial conditions. In addition, the Company has outstanding redeemable preference shares amounting to Rs. 110,00,00,000/- (Rupees One Hundred and Ten Crores only) carrying a dividend rate of 6.5% and given the Company's current financial condition, reduced business operations and significant accumulated losses, the Company will not have adequate profits, reserves or liquidity to redeem its preference shares in the foreseeable future; c) In light of the foregoing and with a view to rationalising and reorganising the capital structure of the Company, the Board of Directors have proposed to undertake a reduction of share capital in accordance with Section 66 read with Section 52 and other applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013, subject to requis [Showing first 8,000 characters — download PDF for full document]
