This comes after the Zee s shareholders rejected the reappointment proposal of two independent directors in its annual general meeting held on December 17.
As part of its ongoing investigation against key management personnel of Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd (ZEEL), including CEO and MD Punit Goenka, SEBI has questioned some former directors regarding their steps to protect minority shareholder rights amid the failed Sony merger.
A number of domestic and overseas institutional shareholders in ZEEL are also in discussions backchannel to coordinate on future course of action, multiple people involved in the discussions said. Large domestic institutions are also engaging with one proxy advisory firm to explore a common course of action that might be palatable to a broader base of investors.
