    3. ‌OBJECTIVES OF THE ISSUE AND SPECIFIC RISK RELATING TO THE OBJECTIVES

      The primary objective of the Debenture Issue is to accelerate the expansion of the Company's lending portfolio in alignment with its future growth strategy. Particular emphasis will be placed on financing two-wheelers, three-wheelers, and four-wheelers encompassing both electric and non-electric vehicles through leasing products, as well as strengthening the Company's gold loan segment. The proceeds are expected to be utilized within 12 months from the date of allotment of the Issue. The proceeds of the Issue will be utilized for the aforementioned objective and will not be utilized to settle any outstanding borrowings of the Company.

      Any lending to/with related parties will be carried out in compliance with all applicable statutes, direction and regulations. The Company, as at the date of this Prospectus, has not recognized related parties for the lending of the proceeds of the Issue. As such, the Company will disburse the proceeds of the Issue/s in the ordinary course of business. However, in the event, funds are lent to related parties in future, such lending will be done in accordance with Section 9 of the CSE Listing Rules. Please refer to Section 8.2 for the composition of the Related Party Transactions Review Committee as at the date of Prospectus.

      The objectives of the Debenture Issue do not fall within the definition of a major transaction in terms of Section 185 of the Companies Act no 7 of 2007.

      The Company is required to obtain approval from CBSL prior to issuing a debt instrument with maturities for over one year and prior to issuing and listing Corporate Debt Securities. CBSL granted formal approval for the issuance of this Listed, Rated, Senior, Unsecured, Redeemable Debentures Issue (subject to compliance with relevant regulatory provisions), via its letter dated 17thDecember 2025.

      Specific Risks Relating to Objectives of the Debenture Issue

      The risk of undersubscription of the Debenture Issue will be greatly mitigated through appointing experienced Placement Agent to the Issue, pre-marketing and building a pipeline of potential investors. The Company also enjoys access to multiple funding sources, including borrowings from banks, financial institutions and deposits. As such the Company is able to utilize the aforementioned alternative funding sources to bridge any gaps in meeting the budgeted lending targets, in the event of an undersubscription of this Debenture Issue.

      For the financial year ended 31stMarch 2025, the Company reported audited lease disbursements of LKR 9,797 million and loan disbursements of LKR 1,272 million. The Company anticipates no material risks in deploying the proceeds within the stipulated timeline, supported by the growth in demand for loans and leases throughout FY2025 and into Q2 of FY2026. This outlook is further strengthened by recent performance, with unaudited lease disbursements of LKR 12,110 million and loan disbursements of LKR 1,351 million as at 30thSeptember 2025 and monthly average disbursements of LKR 1,625 million and LKR 341 million respectively for the period ending 31stDecember 2025. Furthermore, the Company projects total disbursements combining loans and leases to reach LKR 17,263 million (budgeted) during the year ending March 2026.

      It is expected that the Debenture proceeds will be fully allocated within a period of 12 months from the date of allotment of Debentures. In the event where the funds are not utilized immediately upon receipt of funds, the Company intends to invest these funds in cash equivalents, unit trusts, placements with banks, T-bills and T-bonds at the prevailing rates at the time of investments.

      However, in the highly unlikely event of the Company failing to lend these funds, for the aforementioned objective within the aforementioned time-frame, due to any unforeseen reason, these funds would continue to remain invested in cash equivalents, unit trust, placements with banks, T-bills and T-bonds at the prevailing rates at the time of investments, until an alternative objective is pursued. The Company undertakes that in such an unlikely scenario, it will make the necessary market announcements and disclosures (as applicable), as per the relevant CSE Listing Rules.

      The utilization of the proceeds of the Debentures Issue will be disclosed in the Annual Report and the Interim Financial Statements of the Company in the following format from the Issue Opening Date and until the objectives of the Debenture Issue are achieved.

      On 08thMarch 2023, Fitch Ratings Lanka Limited downgraded Abans Finance PLC's National Long-Term rating from A-(lka) to BBB+(lka) with the rating remaining Rating Watch Negative (RWN) due to reasons including the weakening of the parent's (Abans PLC) ability to support, thinning of liquidity buffers and materially weak standalone profile of Abans Finance PLC.

      Subsequently, on 14thOctober 2023, Fitch Ratings graded Abans Finance PLC as BBB+(lka) with a rating outlook Negative against the previous rating of BBB+(lka) (RWN) specifically stating the downside risks to the national rating of Abans PLC which was disclosed via the market announcement dated 16thOctober 2023.

    10. ‌RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE DEBENTURE HOLDERS

        • Receive the interest on the Interest Payment Dates at the interest rate set out in Section 5.4 of this Prospectus and the Principal Sum on the Date of Redemption as set out in Section 5.6 of this Prospectus.

        • Ranking equal and pari passu with unsecured creditors in the event of liquidation of the Company and above the subordinated debt holders, preference shareholders and ordinary shareholders.

        • Call and attend meetings of Debenture Holders as set out in the Trust Deed.

        • Receive a copy of the Annual Report within five (05) months from the financial year end at the same time and in the same manner as an ordinary voting shareholder would receive the same.

        • The other rights of the holders of these Debenture as set out in the Trust Deed.

      2. Debenture Holders do not have the following rights:

        • Attend and vote at meetings of holders of shares.

        • Share the profits of the Company.

        • Participate in any surplus in the event of liquidation.

        • Calling for Redemption before maturity, subject to the provisions stated in the Trust Deed.

      3. Each Debenture Holder must ensure that the information in respect of the securities account maintained with the CDS is up to date and accurate. Each Debenture Holder shall absolve the Company from any responsibility or liability in respect of any error or inaccuracy or absence of necessary changes in the information recorded with the CDS. Provided further that the Debenture Holder shall absolve the CSE and the CDS from any responsibility or liability in respect of any error or inaccuracy or absence of necessary changes in the information recorded with the CDS where such errors or inaccuracies or absence of changes are attributable to any act or omission of the Debenture Holders.

    11. ‌BENEFITS OF INVESTING IN DEBENTURES

      1. Provides an opportunity to diversify the investment portfolio of the Investor.

      2. Provides the Investor with a regular cash inflow in the form of interest payments.

      3. The Debenture may be used as collateral to obtain credit facilities from banks and financial institutions with the exception of the issuing Company.

      4. Being listed on the CSE, the Debentures will have a secondary market thus providing the Investor with an opportunity to exit at the market price prevailing at the time of divestiture subject to market conditions.

    12. ‌RISKS INVOLVED IN INVESTING IN DEBENTURES

      Subscribers to the Debenture could be exposed to the following risks.

      1. Interest Rate Risk

        Provided all other factors are equal, the market price of the Debenture will generally fluctuate in the opposite direction to the fluctuation in market interest rates. Thus, the interest rate risk could be identified as the reduction in the market price of Debenture resulting from a rise in interest rates. However, for Type B Debentures, the coupon rate will adjust periodically in line with market rates, thereby reducing the extent of price volatility compared to Type A Debentures.

      2. Reinvestment Risk

        Interest on the Debenture are payable annually or semi-annually. An Investor may decide to reinvest these interest payments and earn interest from that point onwards. Depending on the prevailing interest rates at the point of reinvestment, the risk of returns generated by Debenture Holders by reinvesting such interest received being higher or lower than the return offered by the Debenture is known as reinvestment risk.

      3. Duration Risk

        Duration is a measure of the price sensitivity of fixed income investments to a change in interest rates based on the time to maturity of principal and coupon payments. The higher the duration, the greater the price volatility or duration risk, while a lower duration carries a lower risk.

      4. Credit Risk

        Credit risk is also referred to as default risk. This is the risk that the issuer of a Debenture may default, i.e. the issuer will not be able to pay interest and principal payments on a timely basis. This risk is gauged in terms of ratings assigned by different rating agencies. Fitch Ratings Lanka Limited has assigned a Rating of A-(lka) to these Debenture and will be periodically reviewing the same.

      5. Liquidity Risk

        Liquidity risk is associated with the ease in which an investment can be sold after the initial placement. In order to reduce the liquidity risk of the Debentures, the Company has applied for a listing of these Debentures on the CSE and has received in-principle approval for such listing whereby Debenture Holders will be able to sell the Debentures through the CSE in order to convert the Debentures to cash and exit from the investment. Furthermore, it should be noted that the secondary debt market is not as developed as the secondary equity market in Sri Lanka.

      6. Generic Risks

        1. The ability to transfer the Debentures may be limited by the absence of an active trading market, and there is no assurance that any active trading market will develop for the Debentures.

          In Sri Lanka the secondary trading activity in the corporate debt market is limited. There can be no assurance that an active secondary trading market will develop. If the Debenture are traded after their initial issuance, they may trade at a discount to their initial offering price, depending upon prevailing interest rates, the market for similar securities, general economic conditions and the financial condition of the Company.

          Even if an active secondary trading market does develop, it may not be liquid and may not continue. Therefore, Investors may not be able to sell their Debenture easily or at prices that will provide them with a yield comparable to similar investments that have a developed secondary market. If the secondary market for the Debenture is limited, there may be few buyers for the Debentures and this may significantly reduce the relevant market price of the Debentures.

        2. Credit ratings may not reflect all risks associated with an investment in the Debentures

          A credit rating reflects a relative ranking of credit risk and does not reflect the potential impact of all risks related to the structure, market, additional factors discussed herein, and other factors that may affect the value of the Debentures.

        3. A Downgrade, suspension or withdrawal of the rating assigned by any rating agency to the Debentures could cause the liquidity or market value of the Debentures to decline

          The Debentures are currently rated A-(lka). Any downgrade, suspension, or withdrawal of this rating may negatively impact the market value and liquidity of the Debentures. If the rating falls below Investment Grade, the Debenture will be transferred to the Watch List of the CSE within five market days of the downgrade announcement, as per the CSE Listing Rule 7.12.2. The Debentures will be removed from the Watch List only once the rating is upgraded back to Investment Grade and disclosed to the market. Credit ratings are not investment recommendations and may change at any time.

        4. Changes in law, or changes in regulatory classification may affect the rights of holders as well as the market value of the Debentures

      The regulatory regime in connection to these instruments is evolving. Changes in law may include change in statutory, tax and regulatory regimes during the life of the Debentures, which may have an adverse effect on the investment in the Debentures.

    13. ‌TRANSFER OF DEBENTURES

      The Debentures will be transferable and transmittable in the manner set out in the Trust Deed, which is reproduced below;

      1. These Debentures shall be freely transferable and the registration of such transfer shall not be subject to any restriction, save and except to the extent required for compliance with statutory requirements.

      2. The Debentures shall be transferable and transmittable through the CDS as long as the Debentures are listed in the CSE. Subject to the provisions contained herein the Company may register without assuming any liability any transfer of Debentures, which are in accordance with the statutory requirements and rules and regulations in force for the time being as laid down by the CSE, SEC and the CDS.

      3. In the case of death of a Debenture Holder

        1. The survivor where the deceased was a joint holder; and

        2. The executors or administrators of the deceased or where the administration of the estate of the deceased is in law not compulsory the heirs of the deceased where such Debenture Holder was the sole or only surviving holder; shall be the only persons recognized by the Company as having any title to his/her Debentures.

    7. ‌LITIGATIONS AGAINST THE COMPANY

      As of 31stDecember 2025, the Company is involved in legal cases related to the normal course of operations, with an outstanding value of Rs. 315,725,989.

Other than above legal proceedings, the company is not involved in any litigation or arbitration. Furthermore, the company is not aware of any pending or threatened proceedings which, if determined adversely, would materially affect its financial position or profitability. The company has also not been a party to any such proceedings in the recent past.
