Lock-In Period For Mutual Fund Shares Of Ridge Line Energy Set To Expire On Bhadra 13

27th July 2026, Kathmandu

The mandatory lock-in period for 71,100 shares of Ridge Line Energy Limited held under mutual fund schemes is scheduled to expire on Bhadra 13, 2083.

Mutual Fund Shares Lock-In Period

Following the completion of this timeframe, the designated equity units will become eligible for active trading on the secondary market via the Nepal Stock Exchange platform.

The shares were originally set aside and allotted to institutional mutual fund schemes during the company’s Initial Public Offering (IPO) process.

Regulatory Provisions Under Securities Board Guidelines

Under the current capital market regulations issued by the Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON), securities allocated to mutual funds during primary public issues are subject to specific lock-in constraints based on the maturity profile of the fund scheme.

Six Month Lock-In Rule

When the remaining maturity tenure of a participating mutual fund scheme is less than six months, IPO shares acquired by the scheme are required to remain locked in for a period of six months from the official date of allotment.

Expiration Timeline

In compliance with these SEBON provisions, the six-month lock-in requirement for the 71,100 shares held by mutual funds in Ridge Line Energy Limited concludes on Bhadra 13.

Trading Implications For Institutional Investors

The conclusion of the lock-in restriction transitions the status of these shares from locked holdings to tradable public float.

Mutual fund managers will gain the regulatory flexibility to hold, transfer, or sell the 71,100 shares in the secondary market based on their portfolio management strategies, scheme requirements, and market conditions. The lifting of the restriction does not mandate an immediate liquidation of the shares, but it removes the regulatory bar that previously restricted their execution on the stock trading floor.
