28th September 2025, Kathmandu
River Falls Power Limited has announced an extension of the application period for its ongoing rights share issuance, giving investors more time to participate in the offer.
River Falls Rights Share
The deadline, initially set for Ashoj 12, 2082 (September 28, 2025), has now been extended to Ashoj 26, 2082 (October 12, 2025).
This extension allows shareholders who may have missed the original deadline to take advantage of the rights offering and increase their ownership stake in one of Nepal’s leading hydropower companies.
Details of the Rights Share Issuance
River Falls Power Limited has offered the rights shares to existing shareholders registered by Saun 22, 2082 (September 7, 2025). The offer follows a 1:1 ratio, meaning shareholders can apply for one new share for every share they already own.
- Par Value: Each rights share is priced at NPR 100.
- Total Shares Issued: The company is issuing 7 million rights shares.
- Offer Start Date: The rights offering officially opened on Bhadra 23, 2082 (September 8, 2025).
The capital raised from this rights issue is expected to strengthen the company’s balance sheet, support expansion projects, and provide additional financial stability for future operations.
Application Process
Investors can conveniently apply for the rights shares through multiple channels:
- Issue Manager: Prabhu Capital Limited is managing the rights share issuance and sales. Shareholders can submit applications directly at the Prabhu Capital office located in Kamaladi, Kathmandu.
- Bank Branches: Applications can also be submitted at selected branches of Prabhu Bank, including Beshisahar, Pokhara, Birgunj, Ilam, Butwal, Surkhet, and Dhangadhi.
- Online Platform: Shareholders can apply using the “Mero Share” online system developed by CDS and Clearing Limited, providing a seamless digital application process.
This multi-channel application process ensures accessibility for shareholders across Nepal, making it easy to participate without visiting the company’s head office in person.
Importance for Shareholders
Rights shares are a way for companies to raise equity capital while giving existing shareholders the first opportunity to increase their holdings. By offering the shares in a 1:1 ratio, River Falls Power is enabling its shareholders to double their investment proportionately if they choose to apply fully.
The extension of the application period is particularly beneficial for investors who may have been unavailable during the original timeframe or needed more time to arrange funds for participation.
Strategic Significance for River Falls Power
The additional capital raised through this rights issue will be crucial for River Falls Power Limited as it looks to expand its operations and enhance its financial stability. Hydropower companies in Nepal often rely on both equity and debt to fund new projects, and rights issues offer a cost-effective way to raise funds without incurring additional debt.
By ensuring the rights shares are accessible through multiple channels, including online platforms, the company is encouraging broad shareholder participation, which can strengthen investor confidence and promote long-term growth.
Expected Impact on Paid-Up Capital
Before the rights issue, the company’s paid-up capital was significantly lower. After the allotment and subscription of the rights shares, the paid-up capital will increase, improving the company’s financial base and enabling it to fund upcoming projects efficiently.
How to Apply
Shareholders interested in applying for River Falls Power’s rights shares should:
- Confirm Eligibility: Ensure they held shares as of Saun 22, 2082.
- Arrange Funds: Make necessary arrangements to cover the investment in the rights shares.
- Submit Application: Apply either in person at Prabhu Capital or Prabhu Bank branches or through the Mero Share online system.
- Meet Extended Deadline: Complete the application process by Ashoj 26, 2082 to secure their allocation.
Conclusion
The extension of the rights share application deadline by River Falls Power Limited provides investors with a valuable opportunity to increase their equity stake in a leading hydropower company. With a 1:1 rights issue and convenient application channels, shareholders can participate easily, either physically at bank or issue manager branches or digitally via Mero Share.
This rights issue not only strengthens the company’s capital base but also promotes broader shareholder engagement, enhancing investor confidence and supporting the company’s long-term growth in Nepal’s hydropower sector.
