    “Balephi Hydropower to Issue 100% Right Shares After Amending Initial Proposal, Pending Regulatory Approval”


    Balephi Hydropower Limited (BHL) has recently made changes to its right share ratio, increasing it from 50% to 100%. In a board of directors meeting held on Shrawan 02, 2080, it was decided that the company will issue 100% right shares based on the paid-up capital of Rs. 1.82 Arba. As a result of this issuance, the company’s paid-up capital will rise to Rs. 3.64 Arba.

    Previously, during a board meeting on Falgun 12, BHL had planned to propose the issuance of rights shares in the ratio of 1:0.50. However, it was later reconsidered due to the realization that the amount generated from 50% right shares would not be sufficient to repay the loans obtained from banks. Consequently, the new proposal suggests the issuance of right shares in the ratio of 1:1.

    It is important to note that the right shares will only be issued after receiving approval from the Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON) and obtaining endorsement during the company’s upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM). These regulatory steps are essential to ensure compliance with the necessary legal procedures and protect the interests of shareholders and investors.
