    Rawa Energy Development Limited Launches IPO Offering 643,667 Unit Shares for Public Subscription


    Rawa Energy Development Limited has initiated the issuance of 643,667 unit IPO shares, with a face value of Rs 100 per share, starting from today, the 18th of Jestha, 2080. The IPO is set to conclude on the 22nd of Jestha, and if the subscription falls short, the deadline may be extended until the 32nd of Jestha.

    In the past, the company allocated shares worth Rs. 2.8 crores to project-affected locals in the Khotang District. However, only 31.2% of the shares, amounting to 87,370 units, were allotted to eligible applicants. Consequently, the remaining 192,330 units of unsubscribed shares from the project-affected locals are now combined with 560,000 units, which represents 20% of the issued capital and is reserved for the general public. This brings the total number of shares available for the general public to 752,330 units.

    Out of the total shares, 56,000 units have already been issued and allocated to Nepalese citizens working abroad, while 37,616 units have been set aside for mutual funds, and 15,047 units are reserved for the company’s employees. The remaining 643,667 units are now made available for the general public to participate in the IPO.

    The company aims to raise a total of Rs 6.43 crore from this IPO. Prabhu Capital Limited has been appointed as the issue manager to oversee the IPO process. Interested investors can apply for a minimum of 10 units and a maximum of 10,000 units.

    CARE Ratings Nepal Limited (CRNL) has assigned an issuer rating of ‘CARE-NP BB (Is)’ to Rawa Energy Development Limited, indicating a moderate risk of default in terms of fulfilling financial obligations in Nepal.

    Rawa Energy Development Ltd is a public limited company that was initially incorporated as a private limited company on August 16, 2009, and subsequently converted to a public limited company on June 28, 2019. The company is promoted by experienced individuals with a strong background in the hydropower sector and other industries. Their focus is on establishing Hydroelectric Projects (HEP) in Nepal.

    Ankhukhola Hydropower Company (AKJCL) Changes Right Share Ratio from 200% to 150%


    Ankhukhola Hydropower Company Limited (AKJCL) has recently announced a change in its right share ratio from 200% to 150%. During a board of directors meeting held on Jestha 17, 2080, the decision was made to issue 150% right shares on the company’s paid-up capital of Rs. 80 Crores. This decision aligns with the instructions given by the regulatory body.

    In a previous board meeting that took place on Baishakh 15, 2079, AKJCL had proposed to issue right shares in a ratio of 1:2. This move was intended to allow the company to invest a significant portion, at least 60%, of its shares in the Ganesh Himal Hydropower’s 20 M.W- Ankhu Khola-2 Hydropower project. However, the decision required approval from the Electricity Regulatory Commission. As a result, the company has now revised its right shares issuance, opting for a ratio of 150% from the paid-up capital of Rs. 80 Crores. This means that the paid-up capital will reach Rs. 120 Crores after the issuance of the aforementioned right shares.

    It is important to note that the issuance of these right shares is subject to approval from the Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON) and will also need to be endorsed during the company’s upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM).

However, as per the requirements of the Banks and Financial Institutions Act of 2073 and the NRB (Nepal Rastra Bank), a minimum of 30% of the issued capital must be retained by public shareholders. Therefore, the company will issue 3,79,425 units of FPO shares to the general public. After the FPO, the promoter-to-public share structure will change from 94:6 to 70:30.

    It is important to note that Unique Nepal Laghubitta had initially planned to issue an IPO for 2.70 lakh shares. However, following a successful merger with Ghodighoda Laghubitta, the joint operation under the name of Unique Nepal Laghubitta Bittiya Sanstha Limited commenced on 30th Poush, 2078. As Ghodighoda Laghubitta was already a publicly listed company, the merged entity opted for an FPO to adjust the shareholding ratio.

    The company aims to raise Rs. 3.79 crore through this FPO. Muktinath Capital Limited has been appointed as the issue manager for the FPO. Investors can apply for a minimum of 10 units and a maximum of 1000 units. The paid-up capital of the company will increase to Rs. 14.85 crores after the issuance of the mentioned FPO shares.
