  • Dibyashwari Hydropower Company Reverses Right Share Issue Ratio to 1:1 Amid Strategic Capital Allocation Plans

    Dibyashwari Hydropower Company Reverses Right Share Issue Ratio to 1:1 Amid Strategic Capital Allocation Plans


    Dibyashwari Hydropower Company Limited (DHPL) has modified its previously proposed right share issue ratio. During the Board of Directors (BOD) meeting held on Mangsir 29, the company now suggests a 1:1 ratio, meaning a 100% right share issuance.

    Initially, the company had planned a 1:1 or 100% right share issuance on Ashad 10, 2080. However, a subsequent BOD meeting on Ashwin 29 retracted the earlier proposal and put forth a new plan for a 200% issuance based on the current paid-up capital in a ratio of 1:2. Nevertheless, this decision has been revised again, and the current proposal stands at a 1:1 ratio, translating to a 100% right share issuance.

    DHPL intends to allocate 51% of the capital obtained from the right issue into Five Khapan Hydropower. The company asserts that the decision to initiate the right share issuance is driven by the need to settle outstanding loans acquired from banks.

    It’s important to note that the final approval of this decision is contingent upon regulatory approval and subsequent endorsement at the upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the company. At the time of this writing, DHPL’s closing stock price is recorded at Rs. 182.
