Control Print AGM 2026: ₹6 Dividend, Kabra Reappointed

What shareholders approved at the 35th AGM

Control Print Limited shareholders approved a final dividend of ₹6 per equity share and the re-appointment of Chairman and Managing Director Basant Kabra at the company’s 35th Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on July 23, 2026. The meeting also included adoption of the audited standalone and consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2026 (FY26). The AGM was conducted through Video Conferencing (VC) and Other Audio Visual Means (OAVM) as per Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) guidelines.

The agenda, as laid out in the notice of the AGM, included regular annual items such as adoption of accounts and dividend declaration, along with governance-related approvals. Shareholders voted on five ordinary resolutions and one special resolution. The company also recorded the end time of the AGM, stating that proceedings concluded at 5:58 PM IST.

AGM format and regulatory compliance

The company held the AGM virtually through VC/OAVM. This format aligned with MCA guidelines, as stated in the meeting details. The virtual format also shaped how shareholder participation and voting were conducted, with remote e-voting and an additional e-voting window during the meeting.

Control Print’s disclosures highlighted structured voting access for members, including a defined e-voting period and cut-off date for eligibility. These procedural details matter for investors because they indicate whether the company followed the expected governance process for shareholder approvals.

Dividend decision: ₹6 final dividend, ₹10 total for FY26

The AGM approved a final dividend of ₹6 per equity share (face value ₹10). Separately, the company had disclosed that the total dividend for FY 2025-26 aggregates to ₹10 per share, including an interim dividend of ₹4 per share that was already paid and a recommended final dividend of ₹6 per share that required shareholder approval.

Control Print had fixed July 10, 2026 as the record date for the ₹6 final dividend for FY 2025-26, subject to shareholder approval at the AGM held on July 23, 2026. The record date determines which shareholders are eligible to receive the dividend.

Board and leadership: Basant Kabra re-appointed

Among the ordinary resolutions passed was the re-appointment of Mr. Basant Kabra (DIN: 00176807), who was retiring by rotation. The AGM outcome confirms that shareholders approved his continuation in leadership as Chairman and Managing Director.

The re-appointment resolution is typically watched closely, especially when companies are also seeking approvals on compensation, capital allocation, or employee incentive structures. In this case, the leadership approval came alongside the dividend and other governance resolutions.

Accounts adopted: audited standalone and consolidated FY26

Shareholders adopted the audited standalone and consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2026. The annual report and notice of the 35th AGM were dated June 29, 2026, and the standalone and consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2026 were approved by the Board on May 20, 2026.

While the AGM outcome notes adoption of accounts, the disclosure provided here does not include FY26 revenue, profit, or margin figures. Still, adoption of audited statements is a key compliance milestone that completes the annual reporting cycle and clears the way for dividend distribution processes.

ESOP Scheme 2025: shareholders ratify special resolution

Control Print shareholders also passed a special resolution to ratify the Control Print Employee Stock Option Scheme 2025. ESOP-related resolutions are treated as special business because they can have implications for equity dilution and long-term incentives.

The company’s AGM agenda clearly identified ESOP ratification as a special resolution, separate from the ordinary resolutions covering the accounts, dividend, and director re-appointment.

Cost auditor remuneration for FY27 approved

Another ordinary resolution approved the remuneration for cost auditors for FY27. The amount disclosed for the cost auditor remuneration was ₹1,75,000 plus taxes. Such approvals are part of routine compliance for companies where cost audit requirements apply.

This item is typically procedural, but it is still important because shareholders formally ratify audit-related costs that support statutory reporting and governance.

E-voting window, cut-off date, and meeting timeline

Control Print provided remote e-voting to shareholders from July 20, 2026 to July 22, 2026. The e-voting period ran from Monday, July 20, 2026 at 9:00 AM IST to Wednesday, July 22, 2026 at 5:00 PM IST. The cut-off date for e-voting eligibility was July 16, 2026. In addition, the company provided a 15-minute voting window after meeting closure.

The 35th AGM was scheduled for Thursday, July 23, 2026 at 4:00 PM IST and concluded at 5:58 PM IST. The disclosures also state that all resolutions secured the requisite majority of votes and may be considered passed.

Why the AGM decisions matter for shareholders

From a shareholder perspective, the headline outcome is the approval of the ₹6 final dividend, taking the total FY26 dividend to ₹10 per share when combined with the interim dividend of ₹4 per share already paid. The record date of July 10, 2026 is central for eligibility, and shareholder approval at the July 23, 2026 AGM completes the necessary step for the final dividend.

The other approvals point to governance continuity. The re-appointment of the Chairman and Managing Director, adoption of audited accounts, approval of cost auditor remuneration, and ratification of the ESOP scheme together represent the key statutory and governance actions typically expected at an AGM. The company’s disclosures also highlight process controls, including a defined remote e-voting window and a cut-off date for determining shareholder eligibility.

Conclusion

Control Print Limited’s 35th AGM on July 23, 2026 resulted in shareholder approval of the audited FY26 accounts, a ₹6 final dividend, Basant Kabra’s re-appointment, cost auditor remuneration for FY27, and the ESOP Scheme 2025 ratification. With the final dividend approved and July 10, 2026 already set as the record date, the next steps follow the company’s dividend payment process within the applicable timelines.
