Commercial Bank like Nepal Bank Limited (NBL) will require ICRA rating for the right issue. The banks net worth per share is less than Rs100. Net worth per share of Nepal Bank stands at Rs 85 as per the latest quarterly financial report published by the bank.
Nepal SBI Bank Limited (SBI) will also require ICRA rating as it is planning to issue Right shares at a premium price.
And if Prabhu Bank goes as per its capital plan and issues right shares in the upcoming fiscal year than it would also require an icra rating before the issuing right shares. Its net worth per share stands at Rs 96.61.
Right offering of Sanima Bank Limited (SANIMA), Mega Bank Limited (MEGA) and Himalayan Bank Limited (HBL) can be expected soon as these banks have already applied for the approval of Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON) and they won't need ICRA rating.
