Hathway Investment Nepal has issued a formal statement to address and dismiss a fake letter circulating on social media regarding the unauthorized sale of 15 lakh units of company shares.
Fake Notice Exposed
Recently, a fake letter made rounds on various social media platforms and online news portals. The document was addressed to the Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE) and carried the date 2083/06/11. It falsely claimed that a shareholder named Ambika Prasad Paudel intended to sell 15 lakh shares within three months. The company stated that the letterhead, official seal, and the signature of the company secretary used in that document were completely fake and created without any permission.
Company Stand
The company made it clear that they never received any formal request from Ambika Prasad Paudel regarding the sale of shares as per the guidelines issued by the Securities Board of Nepal on 2083 Bhadra 9. According to the board rules, any primary shareholder who wants to sell more than 5 percent of their holding must inform the company at least 15 days in advance. Once the company gets this notice, they are supposed to make it public through the NEPSE system for a period of three months.
Official Channels Only
Hathway Investment mentioned that if they ever receive such official notices, they will only share them through their own website and the official NEPSE information system. Any information found on other channels should be considered unverified and fake. The management has decided to take legal action against the people or groups who created and spread this false letter. They have already started the process to file official complaints with both the Securities Board of Nepal and NEPSE.
Advice to Investors
The company has requested all its shareholders and investors to be very careful. They should not make any investment decisions based on these unverified materials floating around on social media. It is best to only rely on the information provided by the company official sources and the official updates from NEPSE.
