Hercules Hoists Limited has informed the Exchange regarding the Amendment to AOA/MOA of the company.
Awaiting price reaction for this filing.
Hercules Hoists Limited has informed the stock exchanges that shareholders approved several key changes at the AGM held on August 12, 2025, via special resolutions. The company will change its name to 'Hercules Investments Limited' and adopt a new set of Articles of Association aligned with the Companies Act, 2013. The most significant change is the amendment of the main object clause, which now focuses the company on becoming an investment company — buying, holding, and dealing in shares, debentures, bonds, and other financial instruments. The new MOA also includes broad powers to form subsidiaries, lend, borrow, promote companies, and manage investments. The old hoists-related business focus appears to have been entirely replaced by this investment-oriented mandate.
This represents a major business transformation — the company is pivoting from a hoists/products business to a pure investment and holding company, which could significantly change its risk profile, revenue model, and valuation. Shareholders should watch for the effective date of the name change (BSE code 505720, NSE symbol HERCULES may also change) and any further restructuring announcements.
