NEPSE Lifts Trading Suspension on Muktinath Bikas Bank: Resumes After Delayed Dividend Information


The Nepal Stock Exchange Limited (NEPSE) has lifted the trading suspension on Muktinath Bikas Bank Limited (MNBBL) securities. The company is set to resume trading activities following a brief halt caused by delayed submission of information related to the dividend declaration for the fiscal year 2079/80.

According to an official statement from NEPSE, MNBBL failed to provide timely details about the dividend declaration, a requirement outlined in the Securities Listing Regulations, 2075. The regulations dictate that companies must submit notices, information, and decisions affecting securities prices to NEPSE on or before the day of business commencement.

The decision regarding the dividend declaration for the fiscal year 2079/80 was made during MNBBL’s board meeting on the 5th of Poush. However, the information regarding this decision reached NEPSE a day later, on the 6th of Poush, prompting an immediate suspension of MNBBL securities trading. NEPSE, in response, sought clarification from MNBBL within a three-day period.

MNBBL responded to NEPSE’s inquiry, explaining that the delay was unintentional and resulted from coincidental timing. They clarified that the discussion on the dividend occurred during the meeting at 4:30 P.M. on the 5th of Poush.

Despite MNBBL’s explanation, NEPSE, in its decision dated 2080/09/11, issued a warning to MNBBL and instructed the resumption of the suspended securities transactions. The warning underscores MNBBL’s responsibility to fully adhere to the Securities Listing Regulations, 2075, and its associated terms.
