Checkpoint Trends Limited has issued a Postal Ballot Notice to shareholders seeking approval through e-voting (August 21 to September 20, 2025; results on September 22, 2025). Item 1 (Ordinary Resolution) proposes increasing the authorised share capital from ₹75 crore (7.5 crore shares of ₹10) to ₹300 crore (30 crore shares of ₹10) — a 4x jump — explicitly stated as being for 'proposed fund-raising activities.' Item 2 (Special Resolution) proposes adding a new object clause to the company's MOA to allow diversification into tobacco products (bidis, cigarettes, cigars, smoking/chewing tobacco) and the edible oils business (mustard, sunflower, soybean, palm oil, etc., including oil mills and solvent extraction plants). Cut-off date for voting eligibility is August 15, 2025. E-voting is being facilitated through CDSL, with M/s. MNB & Co. LLP appointed as Scrutinizer.
Shareholders should note that the 4x increase in authorised capital is a strong signal of an upcoming equity fundraise, which could lead to dilution. Additionally, the proposed MOA amendment marks a major strategic pivot into tobacco and edible oils — sectors unrelated to the company's existing operations — which carries both diversification risk and opportunity. Shareholders are advised to review the resolutions and vote accordingly.
