Metro Brands Announces 49th AGM on Sep 16, 2026; To Discuss FY26 Results & Dividends
Metro Brands will hold its 49th AGM on September 16, 2026, to approve FY26 financial results and dividends. Key agenda items include re-appointments of directors, including Ms. Farah Malik Bhanji as MD for five years with remuneration up to ₹10 crore annually. Shareholder approval is also sought for stock option plan amendments and new ESOP schemes.
The AGM agenda includes significant decisions regarding financial statements, dividends, director appointments and remuneration, and employee stock option plans. These decisions have a medium-term impact on corporate governance, shareholder returns, and employee incentives.
The announcement is a routine notice of an Annual General Meeting and covers standard corporate agenda items like financial results, dividends, director re-appointments, and employee stock options. While these are important for governance, they do not inherently indicate a positive or negative shift in the company's immediate performance or outlook.
Metro Brands Limited has announced that its 49th Annual General Meeting (AGM) will be held on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at 3:00 PM IST through Video Conferencing/Other Audio Visual Means (VC/OAVM).
The agenda for the AGM includes the consideration and adoption of the audited standalone and consolidated financial statements for the Financial Year ended March 31, 2026. Shareholders will also vote on the confirmation of an interim dividend of ₹3 per equity share and the declaration of a final dividend of ₹3 per equity share for FY26.
Further, the meeting will address the re-appointment of Ms. Alisha Rafique Malik as a Whole-time Director and Ms. Farah Malik Bhanji as Managing Director for a period of five years from April 1, 2027, with remuneration not exceeding ₹10 crore per annum. The appointment of Mr. Sonny Iqbal as a Non-Executive Independent Director for a term of five years from August 5, 2026, will also be up for approval. Additionally, the shareholders will consider and approve the remuneration for Mr. Rafique Abdul Malik, Non-Executive Chairman, for FY2026-27.
The AGM will also seek shareholder approval for amendments to the ‘METRO Stock Option Plan 2008’ and the introduction of the ‘Metro Brands Limited – Employee Stock Option Scheme 2026’. This includes proposals for decreasing options from the existing pool, transferring unallocated options, enabling the trust route for administration, and changing the source of acquisition. Shareholder consent will also be sought for the grant of employee stock options to employees of subsidiary and associate companies under both schemes. Furthermore, the company proposes to approve secondary acquisition of shares through a trust route for these schemes and to provide money by the company for the purchase of its own shares by the trust, not exceeding 5% of the aggregate paid-up capital and free reserves.
