Sar Televenture Shareholders Approve Fusionnet Stake Sale

Sar Televenture Limited shareholders approved the sale of 1,28,09,761 Fusionnet Web Services Limited shares, representing 90.82% of its equity capital, to Tikona Communication Limited through a postal ballot concluded on November 5, 2026. All 53.85 lakh valid votes cast by 18 members supported the special resolution.

What did Sar Televenture shareholders approve?

Sar Televenture approved the disinvestment or sale of its 1,28,09,761 equity shares in Fusionnet Web Services Limited to Tikona Communication Limited, formerly known as Grand Foundry Limited. The proposed share sale represents 90.82% of Fusionnet Web Services' equity share capital and required shareholder approval through a special resolution.

The company disclosed that the resolution was passed with the requisite majority. According to the voting results, 18 members cast 53,85,000 valid votes in favour of the proposal, accounting for 100% of valid votes cast. No votes were recorded against the resolution.

The approval is material because it authorises Sar Televenture to proceed with the proposed disposal of a controlling stake in Fusionnet Web Services. The disclosures provided do not state the transaction value, closing date, consideration structure, or the expected financial effect on Sar Televenture.

How did the postal ballot process unfold?

Sar Televenture conducted the shareholder vote through remote e-voting between October 7, 2026, and November 5, 2026. The e-voting facility opened at 9:00 AM IST on October 7 and closed at 5:00 PM IST on November 5.

The company set October 2, 2026, as the cut-off date for identifying shareholders eligible to vote. It sent the postal ballot notice electronically to members whose email addresses were registered with the company or depositories and whose names appeared in the register of members or beneficial owners as of that date.

The notice seeking approval was dated October 1, 2026. Sar Televenture also reported on October 6 that it had completed dispatch of the postal ballot and e-voting notice, with newspaper advertisements published in the English and Hindi editions of Pioneer.

Loveleen Gupta, proprietor of L. Gupta & Associates and a practising company secretary, was appointed as scrutinizer for the remote e-voting process. The scrutinizer's report said the review was conducted for the resolution set out in the October 1 notice and confirmed that the resolution had been passed with the requisite majority.

What were the voting results on the Fusionnet sale?

Sar Televenture received unanimous support among the valid votes cast for the Fusionnet Web Services stake sale. The disclosed results show 53.85 lakh votes in favour and nil votes against the resolution.

Under the postal ballot notice, resolutions approved through remote e-voting were to be deemed passed on the last date of e-voting, November 5, 2026. The company submitted the voting results and scrutinizer's report to the National Stock Exchange on the same date.

The results establish shareholder consent for the transaction. They do not by themselves confirm that the sale has been completed, as the available disclosures do not provide a subsequent closing announcement or specify whether other transaction conditions remain outstanding.

Why does the Fusionnet transaction matter to investors?

The shareholder approval permits Sar Televenture to divest a stake representing 90.82% of Fusionnet Web Services' equity capital. For investors, the significance of the approval lies in the change it could bring to the company's exposure to Fusionnet Web Services once the transaction is completed.

However, the information disclosed with the voting outcome does not provide the sale consideration, valuation, use of proceeds, book value of the investment, or anticipated gain or loss. Without these details, the immediate impact on Sar Televenture's earnings, cash position, debt, or future operating profile cannot be quantified from the available information.

The buyer named in the resolution is Tikona Communication Limited, which was previously known as Grand Foundry Limited. The disclosure identifies the buyer and the number of shares proposed to be sold, but it does not set out the commercial terms between the parties.

What other Sar Televenture developments have been disclosed?

Sar Televenture has separately reported that the National Stock Exchange approved a composite issue of up to Rs 4.5 billion. The available event description does not provide further details on the structure, timing, or terms of that issue.

Earlier, the company informed the exchange that its board would meet on May 28, 2026, to consider and approve audited financial results for the year ended March 2026. That disclosure is separate from the Fusionnet shareholder vote and does not provide a link between the annual results and the proposed stake sale.

The Fusionnet vote took place under the Companies Act, 2013, and the Securities and Exchange Board of India Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements Regulations, 2015. Postal ballots allow listed companies to seek shareholder approval without holding a physical general meeting, using electronic voting for eligible members.

Conclusion

The postal ballot gives Sar Televenture the required shareholder approval to sell 1,28,09,761 shares, or 90.82% of Fusionnet Web Services, to Tikona Communication. The vote was unanimous among the 53.85 lakh valid votes cast, while the scrutinizer's report recorded no votes against the special resolution.

Investors will need to watch for any further exchange filing on completion of the transaction, the sale consideration, and the intended use of proceeds. Those details were not included in the disclosed postal ballot results and will be necessary to assess the financial effect of the approved divestment.
