Due to persistent dwindling income, severe liquidity crunch, and mounting liabilities that the company is unable to meet in the ordinary course of business, the Board has concluded that it is no longer feasible to continue the operations of the company. The company's liabilities significantly exceed its assets, making it insolvent. In light of these circumstances, and to ensure an orderly and fair distribution of assets among creditors, it is proposed to initiate the creditors' voluntary winding-up of the company as provided for in Section 306 of the Companies Act, 2013. This process allows for the appointment of a liquidator who will take control of the company's assets, realize them, and distribute the proceeds to the creditors in accordance with their legal priorities. A copy of the Statement of Position of the Company's Affairs, along with a list of creditors, is attached to this notice for your perusal. The Board believes that this course of action is in the best interest of all stakeholders, particularly the creditors, to maximize the recovery of their dues. It is also proposed to appoint Mr. [Liquidator's Name] as the Liquidator of the company. He is a qualified professional with extensive experience in handling liquidation proceedings. His remuneration has been proposed as 2% of the realization account and 1% of the distribution account, subject to a minimum monthly fee and reimbursement of actual expenses. The Liquidator will be vested with all necessary powers to carry out the winding-up process efficiently. Furthermore, to oversee the liquidation process and protect the interests of creditors, it is proposed to constitute a Committee of Inspection comprising [Name 1], [Name 2], and [Name 3]. This committee will work in conjunction with the Liquidator as per the provisions of the Act. Interest of Directors/KMP: No Director, Key Managerial Personnel, or their relatives are in any way concerned or interested, financially or otherwise, in the resolution proposed at Item No. 1, other than to the extent of their shareholding in the company, if any, which would be subject to the winding-up proceedings. The Board of Directors recommends the passing of this Special Resolution for the approval of the members.
