The Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE) has issued a directive to all listed companies and share registrars to ensure clear and transparent disclosure while distributing benefits such as dividends or interest to shareholders.
According to NEPSE, when informing shareholders through email, SMS, or other communication channels, companies must mandatorily mention the stock symbol, fiscal year, and the dividend or interest rate percentage. The exchange has emphasized that such details should not be omitted under any circumstances.
NEPSE has stated that failure to clearly specify the dividend rate in the case of mutual funds and ordinary shares, and the interest rate in the case of bonds or debentures, can create confusion among investors. Highlighting the need for transparency, NEPSE has urged companies to follow proper disclosure practices to ensure clarity and protect investor interests.
