The notice said shareholders would consider the audited financial statements for FY25, together with the reports of the Board and auditors. The company also said the annual report was not being sent in physical form to shareholders who had not registered an email address with the company, its registrar and transfer agent, or a depository participant.

Remote e-voting was arranged through CDSL. According to the newspaper-notice disclosure, the remote e-voting period began at 9:00 am on September 27, 2025, and closed at 5:00 pm on September 29, 2025. The AGM notice was also made available through the websites of BSE and CDSL.

Separately, the company submitted its Annual Secretarial Compliance Report for the year ended March 31, 2025, under Regulation 24A. The report was stated to have been issued by Ms. Amita Saxena, Company Secretary in Practice. Such filings address listed-company compliance requirements beyond the annual financial statements.

NB Footwear also disclosed that its board took the audited financial results for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2025, on record at a meeting held on May 17, 2025.

What did the company say about the AGM proceedings delay?

NB Footwear said that details of the proceedings of its 37th AGM were submitted after the required two-working-day period because of inadvertence.

The company stated that the 37th AGM was held through video conferencing on September 30, 2025. The supplied disclosure does not provide a financial impact, penalty, regulatory action or further explanation beyond the company’s statement that the delay resulted from inadvertence.

For investors, the disclosure is relevant as it records a delay in a prescribed post-AGM filing. However, the information provided does not establish any change in NB Footwear’s operating performance, capital structure or business outlook arising from the delayed submission.

How does the annual report matter to NB Footwear investors?

The annual report and AGM notice give NB Footwear shareholders the formal documents needed to review FY25 audited accounts and participate in the company’s shareholder process. The AGM agenda specifically included adoption of the audited financial statements and the reports of the Board and auditors.

The filings also show the company’s use of digital channels for investor communication, including website publication, exchange dissemination, video conferencing and CDSL-enabled e-voting. These arrangements allow eligible shareholders to access meeting materials and cast votes without attending a physical venue.

The director’s report information provided also states that the company’s annual return for the year ended March 31, 2024 had been posted on its website in compliance with the Companies Act. It further said the current-year annual return would be posted after filing with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs following the AGM.

The same director’s report stated that K Gopal Rao & Co., Chartered Accountants, was appointed statutory auditor for five financial years through the conclusion of the company’s 38th AGM, stated to be held in 2026. The supplied material does not indicate a change in this appointment.

Conclusion

NB Footwear’s September 2025 disclosures centred on the distribution of its 37th annual report for FY25 and the conduct of its AGM through video conferencing. The company also completed related annual-report, secretarial-compliance, newspaper-publication and AGM-notice filings, while acknowledging that its filing on the AGM proceedings was delayed.

Investors can next watch for the annual return filing with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs and its subsequent posting on the company website, as indicated in the director’s report.
