I, Rashida Adenwala, Company Secretary in whole-time practice, Partner, R & A Associates, Company Secretaries, Hyderabad was appointed as Scrutinizer by the Board of Directors of Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Limited (Company) for the purpose of scrutinizing the remote e-voting and electronic voting (e-voting) at the 39th Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Company in a fair and transparent manner pursuant to Section 108 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the Act) read with Rule 20 of the Companies (Management and Administration) Rules, 2014 (as amended) (the Rules) and Regulation 44 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirement) Regulations, 2015, (Listing Regulations) and circulars dated May 12, 2020, January 15, 2021, May 13, 2022 and January 5, 2023 issued by Securities and Exchange Board of India and in compliance with framework issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs through its General Circulars No’s. 14/2020, 17/2020, 20/2020, 02/2021, 02/2022 and 10/2022 dated April 8, 2020, April 13, 2020, May 5, 2020, January 13, 2021, May 5, 2022 and December 28, 2022, respectively (MCA Circulars), on the resolutions contained in the Notice of the 39th AGM of the members of the Company, held on Thursday, July 27, 2023, at 10:00 A.M. 1ST through Video Conferencing (VC) facility / Other Audio Visual Means (OAVM) facility and also for ascertaining the requisite majority for the resolutions proposed therein.

 

The Management of the Company is responsible to ensure the compliance with the requirements of the Act and the Rules including MCA Circulars and Listing Regulations relating to remote e-voting and e-voting at the AGM for the resolutions contained in the Notice of the 39th AGM of the members of the company. Our responsibility as a Scrutinizer is to ensure that the remote e-voting and e-voting at the AGM is carried out in a fair and transparent manner and to make a consolidated scrutinizer’s report on the votes cast “IN FAVOUR” or “AGAINST” the resolutions contained in the Notice of the 39th AGM of the members of the Company. The Company has engaged the services of National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) for voting by electronic means (both for remote e-voting and e-voting at the AGM).

 

 

 

 


  

In accordance with the Notice of the 39th AGM sent to the members and the ‘Advertisement’ published pursuant to Rule 20 of the Companies (Management and Administration) Rules, 2014 (as amended), the remote e-voting period was open from Sunday, July 23, 2023, at 9:00 A.M. (1ST) and was closed on Wednesday, July 26, 2023, at 5:00 P.M. (1ST)

 

Members holding shares as on Thursday, July 20, 2023, “cut-off date”, were entitled to vote on the resolution stated in the Notice of the 39th AGM of the Company.

 

The voting at the AGM was allowed by using an electronic voting system, on the resolutions on which the voting is to be held. The said voting system was provided to all those members who attended the AGM through VC/OAVM but have not cast their votes by availing the remote e-voting facility. As per the information provided by NSDL, the name of the members who had already voted through remote e-voting facility was blocked for voting at the AGM.

 

After the conclusion of the voting at the AGM at 12:02 pm. the votes on remote e-voting and at AGM venue were unblocked on Thursday, July 27, 2023 at 2:22 pm 1ST due to technical issues, in the presence of two witnesses who were not employees of the Company and the e-voting results/list of members who have voted for and against were downloaded from the e-voting website of NSDL.

 

The combined results of the remote e-voting and e-voting at the AGM are given as ‘Annexure-I’ to this report. Based on combined results, we report that, all the resolutions as per the Notice of the 39th AGM of the Company stands passed with requisite majority.

 

The electronic data and all other relevant records relating to the remote e-voting and e-voting at the AGM are under my safe custody until the Chairman approves and signs the Minutes of the 39th AGM and thereafter will be handed over to the Company Secretary of the Company for safe preservation.

 

Thanking you,
