An independent director has no business or family tie to the company, its promoters or its managers beyond the seat. Listed boards counts the boards of listed companies the director sits on, this one included, and "as independent" how many of those seats are independent ones. Committee seats are audit and stakeholder committee seats across those companies. Months as independent is filed for independent directors only, whose terms the rules cap. Disqualified is the company's own mark that a director may not serve under company law.

The company's own answers in its filing.

How money raised was used

Reported for the quarter to Mar 2026. The company's results filing for the quarter to Jun 2026 says no statement of how money raised was used applies to it. A preferential issue sells new shares to chosen investors rather than to the public. A warrant or partly paid issue plans the whole issue while the money comes in over time, so the amount set aside can be more than raised so far.
