    The primary objective of issuing the right shares is to pay back the bank debt. SSHL is preparing to issue rights after receiving approval from the Electricity Regulatory Commission and the subsequent Annual General Meeting.

This not only benefits the company but also the shareholders, as it enables them to increase their stake in the company at a lower cost.

    Overall, SSHL’s decision to issue 100% right shares is a positive move that will benefit both the company and its shareholders. The increased capital will give the company more financial flexibility to pursue its goals and pay off its debts, which is always a positive sign for any company.
