What will be the price SLTL private placement will be done is the most important decision to watch.

As per the board resolution, “Price or the minimum price for which the shares are to be issued” should be done as follows;

“The price at which the shares which will be issued through the Private Placement has not yet been determined, and will be informed subsequent to a share valuation, feedback from potential investors and resolution by SLT Directors”

Therefore, SLTL should first do the share valuation as it is noticed that the Property revaluation was not done for last 08 years as per my knowledge. Since most of the properties belongs to SLTL are at the middle of the city, we can expect considerable gain in the NAV after revaluation.

Next point is the PP price which should not be below the NAV at any case as it will be a huge blow to the minority shareholders’ Rights.

In this case not only to them but also to the Major Shareholder “Global Telecommunications Holdings NV” who bought SLTLshares at LKR 50.50 via mandatory offer eleven years back in 2008 i.e USD 0.4684 per share which means the cost of GTH is LKR 83.36 at present without considering the dividend received.

So, if everything goes right, we can expect a very good time not only for the SLTL but also to the whole market.

Appreciate all of your comments.
