Summary

The results came after the close of the market hours. Shares of Dish TV Ltd ended at ₹21.97, up by ₹0.100, or 0.46%, on the BSE.

Direct-to-home (DTH) operator Dish TV Ltd on Friday (February 9) reported a net loss ₹2.8 crore for the third quarter that ended December 31, 2023.

In the corresponding quarter last year, Dish TV posted a net loss of ₹2.9 crore, the company said in a regulatory filing. The company’s revenue from operations declined 14.8% to ₹470.3 crore as against ₹552.1 crore in the corresponding period of the preceding fiscal.

At the operating level, EBITDA dropped 31% to ₹180.5 crore in the third quarter of this fiscal over ₹261.6 crore in the corresponding period in the previous fiscal.

EBITDA margin stood at 28.4% in the reporting quarter as compared to 47.4% in the corresponding period in the previous fiscal. EBITDA is earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation.

Total expenses in the third quarter were lower at 471.82 crore as compared to 567.16 crore in the same period a year ago, the company said.

Dish TV India said it continues to gain incremental subscriber market share during the third quarter. However, due to subscribers shifting between platforms, churn rates remained high thus resulting in overall negative net additions during the quarter, it added.

“Our new subscriber additions during the quarter were impressive, not only because the numbers were strong but also because none of those added were lured with unsustainable offers and promotions,” Dish TV India CEO Manoj Dobhal said.

The results came after the close of the market hours. Shares of Dish TV Ltd ended at ₹21.97, up by ₹0.100, or 0.46%, on the BSE.

 Listen to the Article (6 Minutes)

Summary

Shareholders firmly rejected the re-appointment of Shankar Aggarwal, the appointment of Rajesh Sahni, Virender Tagra, and Aanchal David, signaling a decisive shift away from the existing board.

In a groundbreaking turn of events, Dish TV shareholders have etched their names in the annals of corporate history, orchestrating an unprecedented move during the Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM).

With an overwhelming majority, over 71% of shareholders have opted for change, voting out nearly the entire board of the company.

Here’s what went down at the crucial shareholders’ meeting:

Out with the Old

Shareholders firmly rejected the re-appointment of Shankar Aggarwal, the appointment of Rajesh Sahni, Virender Tagra, and Aanchal David, signaling a decisive shift away from the existing board, which now has only Rashmi Aggarwal left.

As a result of almost the entire board being voted out, Dish TV appointed two new members.

The board’s nod to Sunil Khanna as Independent Director and Ravi Bhushan Puri as Executive Director heralds the impact of shareholders’ action at the EGM.

Yet, the tale is not complete. The destiny of these appointments now rests in the hands of the shareholders. Their approval will serve as the final brushstroke on this canvas of change.

This is more than a shift in leadership; it’s a declaration that the power to shape the future lies in the hands of Dish TV shareholders.

Shares of Dish TV are trading 2.3% higher at ₹19.8.

Dish TV shareholders reject Veerender Gupta’s appointment as Whole Time Director

KV Prasad Jun 13, 2022, 06:35 AM IST (Published)

 Listen to the Article (6 Minutes)

Summary

Dish TV shares gain after its annual general meeting on September 25, 2023 where shareholders’ decided against the appointment of Gupta as Whole Time Director.

The direct-to-home (DTH) service provider, Dish TV convened its annual general meeting on September 25, 2023 with a focus to secure shareholders’ consent on two matters — appointment of SN Dhawan & Co as statutory auditor and nomination of Veerender Gupta as a Whole Time Director.

Dish TV received a green signal from shareholders for the appointment of the statutory auditor but shareholders decided against the appointment of Gupta as Whole Time Director.

The AGM also witnessed the culmination of Rashmi Aggarwal’s tenure as an Independent Director of the company. Her departure follows earlier efforts by majority lenders to oust her, alongside another Essel Group-affiliated director, Shankar Aggarwal, from the board.

The move, initiated in a letter dated May 15, 2023, urged the board to facilitate the appointment of lender-nominated directors, reflecting the evolving dynamics within Dish TV’s governance.

Dish TV has recently been under the spotlight for multiple reasons. The Bombay High Court rejected a plea by Dish TV’s promoter entity World Crest Advisors that sought to prevent Yes Bank and JC Flowers Asset Reconstruction from transferring or encumbering Dish TV shares.

The legal tussle revolves around the ownership of over 44 crore shares of Dish TV, with Yes Bank asserting its claim as the rightful owner due to loans extended to certain promoters. The battle exemplifies the complex challenges facing Dish TV as it navigates corporate governance issues and financial disputes.

On the financial front, Dish TV reported a 15 percent increase in its consolidated net profit to Rs 20.5 crore for the quarter ending June 2023. However, revenue exhibited a contrasting trend, declining by 18 percent to Rs 500 crore during the same period.

In the stock market, Dish TV shares have gained a percent this year (year-to-date). Importantly, the stock has soared more than 45 percent from its 52-week low of Rs 12.40 per share, recorded in March. The stock currently stands at approximately Rs 19 per share, 26 percent below its 52-week high of Rs 24.40 in December 2022.

Dish TV says minority shareholders’ notice to seek EGM is invalid

KV Prasad Jun 13, 2022, 06:35 AM IST (Published)

 Listen to the Article (6 Minutes)

Summary

Dish TV is embroiled in a tussle between its largest shareholder Yes Bank Ltd (YBL) and the promoter family led by its former chairman Jawahar Lal Goel over board representation in the company. Shares of Dish TV India Ltd ended at Rs 14.13, down by Rs 0.040, or 0.28 percent on the BSE.

Direct-to-home operator Dish TV India Ltd on Thursday, June 1, informed that the notice issued by Vis Legis Law Practice on behalf of minority shareholders for holding an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) of the company is invalid.

This comes after a group of minority shareholders of Dish TV send a notice to call an EGM of the company, raising concerns over corporate governance issues, seeking reconstitution of the board and removal of two independent directors questioning their independence.

In a regulatory filing, Dish TV said, “The board of directors of the company at the meeting held on June 1 examined the individual requisition notices in terms of numerical and procedural validity of the same and observed that there were defects in several individual requisition notices which formed part of the Notice dated May 15, 2023, because of which the said individual requisition notices were considered invalid.”

The company noted that there are three defects because of which the individual requisition notices were considered invalid. First, four individual requisition notices have not been issued by the shareholders of the company as per the register of members of the company. Second, seven individual requisition notices have been submitted in duplicate and the original of the same were not submitted.

Lastly, no authorisation has been submitted along with the individual requisition notices of 11 entities by their board of directors, authorising such individuals to call for an extraordinary general meeting of the company and send individual requisition notices.

Due to these defects, and the fact that collective shareholding of the valid individual requisitions as on May 15, 2023, does not fulfil the requirement of holding at least 10 percent of the paid-up share capital of the company, the board has decided that the EGM cannot be called due to numerical and procedural invalidity, Dish TV said.

However, these shareholders can send fresh and valid requisition notices, the company added.

Dish TV is embroiled in a tussle between its largest shareholder Yes Bank Ltd (YBL) and the promoter family led by its former chairman Jawahar Lal Goel over board representation in the company. The company has been unable to pass its annual statements for the last two years and the feud has led to the departure of its former promoter-backed chairman Jawahar Lal Goel.

Besides, the minority shareholders have also raised several other issues questioning the investments made by the company such as in its OTT platform Watcho.

These orders have been issued under Section 212 of the Companies Act, the sources added. Not appointing government-nominated directors to the board, and the entire fiasco has now brought in fresh trouble for Dish TV.

Dish TV minority shareholders allege breach in corporate governance, company refutes: Exclusive

KV Prasad Jun 13, 2022, 06:35 AM IST (Published)

 Listen to the Article (6 Minutes)

Summary

The minority shareholders in their letter to the board have now demanded that the company convene a board meeting and appoint the MIB approved directors.

Dish TV’s Minority Investors Association has alleged a breach in corporate governance by the company, for failing to disclose the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting’s (MIB) letter approving director nominations on its board to the exchanges, a letter accessed by CNBC-TV18 showed.

The Minority Investors Association has addressed a letter dated March 1, 2023 to the board of directors of Dish TV, and also sent a copy to the capital markets regulator SEBI, stock exchanges and various creditors and stakeholders. CNBC-TV18 has accessed this letter.

Denying the allegations made in the investors’ letter, Dish TV said that the current composition of the board was in line with the requirements of SEBI Listing regulations. “As regards the content of the communication of Minority Investors Association, at the outset it is submitted that all the allegations made out in the letter are wrong, malicious, incorrect, and baseless and hence are denied. It is submitted that the Company is in compliance with all
the applicable regulations of SEBI including Regulation 30 of SEBI Listing Regulations. As submitted above, the NSE has advised the Company to provide its response by or before March 6, 2023, which response shall be submitted accordingly,” it added.

The minority shareholders in the letter have stated that they obtained information through a Right to Information (RTI) request. The RTI revealed that the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MIB) has approved the list of directors submitted by Dish TV for appointment to the company’s board, as per their letter dated December 26, 2022.

“We believe that the board of directors has committed a serious breach of corporate governance by (1) Failing to disclose the MIB’s permission or letter to the stock exchanges. Although Dish TV had informed the stock exchanges about the request for approval from MIB on August 3 and 30, the board has not notified the exchanges about the approval received from the ministry, and 2) Delaying the appointment of directors approved by MIB,” the shareholders alleged in this letter.

“These breaches are especially serious given that Dish TV’s directors and officers have previously been reprimanded and fined by SEBI and the stock exchanges for multiple violations of corporate governance and listing requirements. In one instance, the independent directors of Dish TV claimed that it was not informed by the management of the company about communication from SEBI to the board. However, this excuse cannot be used again, and we are shocked that the board has taken no action to address the matter,” the letter said.

The letter comes days before Dish TV’s extraordinary general meeting (EGM) on March 3, 2023, where it will seek shareholders approval to nominate four independent directors to its board, including Sunil Kumar Gupta, Madan Mohanlal Verma, Gaurav Gupta, and Lal Behari Singhal.

As per Yes Bank sources, this does not include any of the independent directors’ names that were proposed by the bank, and also approved by the MIB.

Yes Bank holds 24 percent stake in Dish TV, which it has now transferred to the JC Flowers Asset Reconstruction Company, as part of the overall Rs 48,000 crores of loans transferred to the ARC under a deal late last year.

According to people directly involved in the matter, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MIB) approved six names for appointment to the board of Dish TV on December 26, 2022, as proposed between Dish TV and Yes Bank.

These six names include three names proposed by Yes Bank, namely Arvind Nachaya Mapangada, Girish S Paranjpe, and Haripriya Padmanabhan. The other three names approved by MIB proposed by Dish TV include Madan Mohanlal Verma, Uday Kumar Verma, and Sunil Gupta, as per people in the know.

However, for the March 3 EGM, Dish TV has included four names, including two which have not been approved by MIB, as per Yes Bank sources. Dish TV has sought shareholder nod for Sunil Gupta, Madan M Verma’s nomination as independent directors on the board, which were approved by MIB, and additionally proposed Gaurav Gupta and Lal Behari Singhal’s nomination, which have not been approved by MIB. None of the names proposed by Yes Bank have been considered, said a person in the know.

The minority shareholders in their letter to the board have now demanded that the company convene a board meeting and appoint the MIB approved directors and hold the management accountable for not reporting official communication to the board, to protect the rights of all stakeholders, especially minority investors.

CNBC-TV18 has reached out to Dish TV for a response on these allegations. Their response is awaited.

The largest shareholder of the company Yes Bank Ltd and promoter family led by former chairman Jawahar Lal Goel had been involved in a legal battle over board representation. YBL has over 24 percent share and was pushing for reconstitution of the Dish TV board and removal of Goel and some others.

The company said in a reported posted on BSE: “Based on the above, Resolution Nos. 1 and 2 have failed to obtain the requisite number of votes in favour by the shareholders under remote e-voting and electronic voting at the Adjourned AGM and the number of votes against these Resolutions are more than those in favour.”

Earlier this month, Dish TV announced appointment of three new independent directors to the company’s board. Earlier in June this year, shareholders in an extraordinary general meeting had rejected the proposal for the reappointment of Goel as its managing director.
