-
Nevada Reincorporation Approved by Written Consent
Board and majority stockholder approved conversion from Delaware to Nevada on September 1, 2026. No stockholder vote required — CEO Saagar Govil's 17,583,216 votes (70.93% of voting power) satisfied the majority requirement.
-
Franchise Tax Savings
Company currently owes ~$200K Delaware franchise tax for FY2026 (~$80K remaining balance). After conversion, Nevada's annual business-license fee and officer-list filing fee are expected to be substantially lower.
-
Director Removal Threshold Increases
Under Nevada law (NRS 78.335), director removal without cause requires two-thirds voting power — up from Delaware's majority standard. Nevada Articles do not lower this threshold.
-
Stockholder Inspection Rights Narrowed
Nevada statutory books-and-records inspection is narrower than DGCL § 220 for Exchange Act reporting companies. Broader financial-record inspection requires 15% ownership and is generally unavailable to stockholders of reporting companies.
Analysis · CETX · Real Estate & Construction
Cemtrex is converting from Delaware to Nevada via majority written consent — no stockholder vote required. CEO Saagar Govil, holding 70.93% of voting power through the Series C Preferred super-voting structure, unilaterally approved the move. The reincorporation eliminates Delaware franchise tax (~$200K annual burden) and shifts governance to Nevada's more statute-based regime, but it also raises the director-removal threshold from a majority to two-thirds and narrows stockholder inspection rights. The company cites litigation-cost reduction and franchise-tax savings as primary motivations. Given the company's going-concern status and Nasdaq listing risk disclosed in the August 10-Q, this governance change is material to how stockholders can influence the company during a critical period.
