The extraordinary general meeting (EGM) of Byju's, an edtech firm, saw no objections raised on the resolutions discussed to increase authorized share capital. The board is considering offering renounced shares to dissenting shareholders to avoid dilution of their shareholding. The company board has secured over 50% of the votes needed to increase share capital, paving the way for its $200 million rights issue. Despite legal actions from some shareholders, Byju's expressed a willingness to include all shareholders in its turnaround story. The next hearing for the plea filed by investors in the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) is scheduled for April 4.
