Aeries Technology, Inc. is asking shareholders to vote at its March 3, 2026 annual general meeting, held in Cary, North Carolina and via webcast. As of the January 28, 2026 record date, there were 50,209,716 Class A ordinary shares and one Class V ordinary share outstanding, each ordinary share carrying one vote, with the Class V share holding 51% of the combined voting power for director appointments.
Shareholders are being asked to appoint four directors (three independent directors and CEO Bhisham (Ajay) Khare), ratify Manohar Chowdhry & Associates as independent auditor for the year ending March 31, 2026, and authorize the Board to implement a consolidation of Class A ordinary shares at a ratio of up to 1-for-10 at its discretion before the next annual meeting. Related special resolutions would amend the memorandum and articles to reflect any consolidation and separately modify Section 26.1 of the Articles. The Board unanimously recommends voting in favor of all proposals.
Aeries Technology entered into Amendment No. 2 to a prior letter agreement with Sandia Investment Management related to an existing OTC equity prepaid forward transaction. The amendment confirms an outstanding amount of $1,812,063.23 owed to Sandia and sets new repayment and interest terms.
The outstanding amount will accrue interest at 15% per year, calculated monthly, with monthly interest payments beginning in January 2026. Principal amortization starts with a $100,000 payment on March 31, 2026, followed by monthly payments of $75,000, alongside a corresponding return of Class A ordinary shares valued at $1.00 per share.
Proceeds from Sandia’s sales of Class A ordinary shares, up to $1.05 per share, will reduce the outstanding amount. The amendment also extends the designated period during which such share sales and related mechanics apply until the outstanding amount is fully repaid, unless ended earlier under the agreement.
Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D reports that Bhisham Khare, Chief Executive Officer of Aeries Technology, Inc. (AERT), beneficially owns 3,358,624 Class A Ordinary Shares, representing 6.9% of the outstanding Class A shares based on 47,152,626 shares outstanding. The filing reflects an exchange agreement that caused Mr. Khare to be deemed to beneficially own up to 1,701,941 Class A Ordinary Shares, including shares attributable to ATG shares held by an ESOP Trust for which he is a beneficiary.
The amendment discloses that the issuer withheld 810,003 Class A Ordinary Shares on March 10, 2025, and 5,101 shares on February 26, 2025, to cover Mr. Khare's tax liabilities upon settlement of 2,471,360 RSUs that vested and were settled between August 15, 2024 and March 15, 2025. The filing states that the reporting person did not pay cash for the reported shares aside from the tax-withholding events and that the source of funds is marked "OO."
