Brightcom Group Says CEO, CFO Appointments on Hold Until Court Clearance

Brightcom Group Limited has issued an official clarification regarding the status of two resolutions passed at its Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) held on April 30, 2025.

The company addressed growing speculation around the appointments of Mr. M. Suresh Kumar Reddy as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Mr. S. L. Narayana Raju as Chief Financial Officer (CFO), both of which were approved by shareholders but remain deferred pending legal prerequisites.

Shareholder-Requisitioned Resolutions

The appointments stemmed from a shareholder requisition dated March 25, 2025. According to the company, the request came from investors holding over 10% of Brightcom’s paid-up equity share capital—legally obligating the Board to include these resolutions in the EGM notice under Section 100(2)(a) of the Companies Act, 2013.

Deferred Appointments: What It Means

While Resolutions 3 and 4 were passed by shareholders, their implementation is on hold. The company clarified that:

• Neither Mr. Reddy nor Mr. Raju has officially assumed their roles.

• The appointments are contingent on:

• Completion of all legal clearances.

• Reconfirmation of written consent by each appointee post-clearance.

• As of now, no regulatory filings such as DIR-12 or MR-1 have been made, nor have any contracts been executed.

Legal Hurdles Delay Process

Originally scheduled for May 1, 2025, legal hearings related to the appointees were postponed and are unlikely to proceed until mid-June, due to the summer recess of the courts. Brightcom anticipates final consents and legal clearances will only be available after this period.

Assurances on Compliance

To address market concerns, Brightcom emphasised that it has not violated any SEBI regulations or prematurely acted on the resolutions. Any further action should the legal and regulatory hurdles be cleared will be carried out in full compliance with the Companies Act, 2013, and SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015.

What’s Next?

If and when legal conditions are met and consents are reconfirmed, the company will:

• Submit the necessary statutory forms (DIR-12, MR-1).

• Disclose all relevant details to the exchanges.

• Proceed with the appointments in a compliant and transparent manner.
