The current promoter of Himalayan Bank Limited (HBL) has initiated an auction process for 21,86,575 units of shares. This auction is exclusively available to existing promoter shareholders and commenced on the 7th of Jestha, 2080.
The auction specifically targets existing promoters, who have the opportunity to submit their bids within a period of 35 days starting from the publication date of the notice, which is also the 7th of Jestha. Shareholders interested in participating in the auction are required to submit their bids at the central office of the bank, situated in Kamaladi, Kathmandu.
