Goodricke Group Limited has issued a Postal Ballot Notice seeking shareholder approval through remote e-voting (NSDL) from December 4, 2025 to January 3, 2026, with results to be declared on or before January 5, 2026. Item 1 is a Special Resolution authorising the Board to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of certain tea estates where aggregate net book value is between 20% and 30% of the company's undertaking value, with proceeds earmarked for debt reduction, investment in the packet tea and branded tea businesses, and possible agri/hospitality diversification. The company has already divested its Chulsa and Leesh River Tea Estates under this strategy. Item 2 seeks approval for the re-appointment of Mr. Soumen Mukherjee as Director (Finance) & CFO for three years (April 1, 2026 to March 31, 2029) with a basic salary of Rs. 3,26,708 per month. Item 3 is an Ordinary Resolution to appoint Mr. Oliver Capon as a Non-Executive Non-Independent Director effective January 1, 2026. The company's FY25 financials show a turnaround with PAT of Rs. 200.58 million versus a loss of Rs. 693.04 million in FY24, driven partly by improved performance and the prior estate divestments.
Shareholders are being asked to approve a significant asset divestment programme and key leadership changes that will shape the company's strategic direction. Approval will enable continued debt reduction and a sharper focus on branded/packet tea; rejection or weak public shareholder support could delay the restructuring plan and pressure margins given the company's history of weather-driven losses.
