Pursuant to SEBI (Listing Obligation and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations 2015 read with SEBI Circular No. CIR/CFD/CMD/4/2015 dated September 9 2015 we wish to inform that Prof. J Ramachandran (DIN: 00004593) one of the Non-Executive Independent Directors of the Company has resigned as an Independent Director of the Company effective February 26 2020. The reason stated in his resignation letter is -
The last year has been challenging in terms of demands on my time - you would have noticed I have not been able to attend many of the Board meetings this year - and as a consequence I have not been able to do justice to my responsibility (whatever they are) as a member of the Companys Board. I would therefore like to step down from the Board.
The confirmation provided by the Prof. J Ramachandran that there are no other material reasons other than those provided in his resignation letter is enclosed.
