12th October 2025, Kathmandu
Nabil Investment Banking Limited has successfully concluded its 16th Annual General Meeting (AGM), marking a significant event for its investors and stakeholders.
Nabil Investment’s 16th AGM
The meeting, held on October 11, 2025 (Ashwin 24, 2082), at the company’s registered office in Naxal, Kathmandu, saw the approval of a substantial dividend proposal, underscoring the company’s solid financial performance for the past fiscal year. The AGM was a crucial platform for the management to share their strategic vision and commitment to continued market leadership in the dynamic Nepalese capital market.
Key Dividend Declaration: A 26.31578947% Total Return
The most impactful decision for the shareholders was the endorsement of the dividend proposed by the Board of Directors. In a move that reflects the company’s strong profitability and commitment to rewarding its loyal shareholders, the meeting approved a combined dividend of 26.31578947 percent.
This attractive dividend package is structured as follows:
25 percent Bonus Share: This substantial bonus share distribution is valued at approximately Rs. 81 million. This component will significantly increase the paid-up capital of Nabil Investment Banking Limited, demonstrating confidence in future expansion and growth opportunities. Bonus shares are a highly valued form of dividend for investors as they increase the number of shares held without any immediate tax liability on the principal amount of the bonus itself.
1.31578947 percent Cash Dividend: This cash dividend, amounting to approximately Rs. 4.26 million, is specifically allocated to cover the applicable taxes on the bonus share distribution. This is a common and investor-friendly practice in the Nepalese market, ensuring that shareholders receive the full benefit of their bonus shares without needing to pay the tax out of pocket.
The cumulative effect of this dividend proposal translates into a significant return on investment for the eligible shareholders of Nabil Investment Banking, reinforcing its position as a profitable and well-managed financial institution in Nepal’s investment banking sector.
Leadership and Corporate Governance at the Forefront
The 16th AGM was presided over by Mr. Sujit Kumar Shakya, the esteemed Chairman of the Board of Directors. Mr. Shakya, who represents Nabil Bank Ltd. on the board, brings over 28 years of extensive experience in the banking sector and currently serves as the Senior Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Nabil Bank. His presence and leadership at the AGM emphasized the strong connection and synergistic relationship between Nabil Investment Banking and its parent company, Nabil Bank, one of Nepal’s leading financial institutions. The meeting was well-attended by other key board members, enthusiastic shareholders, and the management team, facilitating transparent discussion and crucial decision-making.
The agenda of the AGM extended beyond the dividend approval, covering other essential aspects of corporate governance and financial strategy for the upcoming fiscal year. These key deliberations included:
Endorsement of Financial Reports: The AGM successfully endorsed the comprehensive financial reports for the previous fiscal year (2081/82), which included the Balance Sheet, Profit and Loss Statements, and Cash Flow Reports, all vetted by the auditor’s report.
Appointment of the Auditor: Shareholders approved the appointment of the statutory auditor and determined their remuneration for the fiscal year 2082/83, ensuring continuous financial oversight and compliance.
Board Restructuring and Director Re-appointment: The meeting also addressed proposals related to the re-appointment of an independent director and the overall approval concerning changes to the Board of Directors, which is vital for maintaining robust corporate governance structures.
Capital Structure Increment: A significant item on the agenda was the approval for the increment of the company’s Issued and Paid-up Capital, a strategic move often preceding expansion plans and strengthening the company’s financial base in anticipation of future ventures.
Memorandum of Association Amendment: Essential amendments to the Memorandum of Association were approved to ensure that the company’s operational framework remains compliant and aligned with its future business objectives and the evolving regulatory landscape.
