Arun Valley Hydropower Development Company Limited (AHPC) has recently given out 8% bonus shares to its shareholders. The bonus shares were distributed directly to the DEMAT accounts of the shareholders. AHPC has also encouraged its shareholders to dematerialize their shares. Dematerialization refers to the process of converting physical shares into electronic format.
During the 25th Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on 27th Magh for the fiscal year 2078/79, AHPC approved an 8.421% dividend worth Rs. 21.11 Crores. The board of directors of AHPC, in a meeting held on Mangsir 16, decided to distribute the dividend to its shareholders based on the paid-up capital of Rs. 1.72 Arba. The dividend comprised of 8% bonus shares worth Rs. 13,83,67,600 and 0.421% cash dividend (for tax purposes) worth Rs. 72,81,595. It is important to note that the bonus shares have already been listed in the Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE).
In order to receive the bonus shares and the cash dividend, shareholders of AHPC will need to dematerialize their shares at Muktinath Capital Limited, which is located in Naxal, Kathmandu. This is because the bonus shares have already been issued in electronic form, so shareholders will need to have DEMAT accounts to receive them. The company has urged its shareholders to dematerialize their shares to ensure a smooth and efficient transfer of shares and dividends.
