STATEMENT UNDER SECTION 134 (3) OF THE
COMPANIES ACT, 2017 CONCERNING
THE SPECIAL BUSINESS:
The statement set out the material facts concerning the special business to be transacted at the extraordinary general meeting of the Company to be held on September 18, 2024.
Issuance of Shares otherwise than right shares:
1. The Board of Directors of Baluchistan Glass Limited (the "Company") in their meeting held on August 09, 2024 has decided to raise further capital amounting to PKR 3,769,120,570/- through issuance of 376,912,057
Ordinary Shares of PKR 10/- each by way of otherwise than right offering to M/s MMM Holding (Private)
Limited (MMM), a holding company against its outstanding loans towards the Company as proposed in the special resolution subject to approval of shareholders and permission from the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan in terms of proviso to the Section 83 of the Companies Act, 2017 (the "Act") and subject to the completion of all legal formalities and compliances.
4 BALUCHISTAN GLASS LIMITED
- The proposed shares shall be issued at PAR against conversion of loans provided by M/s MMM Holding (Private) Limited (MMM), a holding company, of the Company.
- In this regard, the Company provides the following further material information:
-
Proposal by the Board:
The issue of shares by way of other than right shares has been proposed by the Board of Directors of the Company. - Quantum of Issue:
376,912,057 Ordinary Shares of PKR 10/- each %age before the issue - 144.08%
%age after the issue - 59.03% - Issue price per share and Justification:
PKR 10/- each. The shares will be issued at PAR value of PKR 10/- per share. It is above the break-up value per share which is negative. Issuing shares at face value is a strategic decision that acknowledges the support from the holding company, M/s MMM Holding (Private) Limited, which holds 84.3442% of BGL's shares, for the conversion of its loan into equity. This decision also provides an incentive to the holding company for equity investment despite continued losses and the negative book value of shares, protects shareholder interests, encourages long-term investment, ensures financial stability, and aligns with regulatory and strategic goals. Therefore, the issuance of shares at par value is fully justified. - Consideration:
Consideration against Cash. The amount has already been provided to the Company as loans. - Information of Person to whom Shares are to be Issued:
M/s MMM Holding (Private) Limited. Existing shareholding of M/s MMM Holding (Private) Limited is 220,644,430 Ordinary Shares comprising 84.3442% of the paid-up share capital of the Company; - Purpose of the Issue:
To reduce the liabilities, improvement of capital base of the Company and breakup value of the share of the Company. - Justification for Issue of Shares Otherwise than Right Shares:
Due to continued losses suffered by the Company, the equity of the Company has completely eroded and its equity (excluding surplus on revaluation of fixed assets) net of losses amounts to Negative PKR
2.971 billion as of June 30, 2023 on the basis of audited accounts of the Company (3Q2024 Negative
PKR 3.272 billion). The issue of shares at par value to the MMM Holding (Private) Limited is justified due to the reason that the holding company has provided loans without any security. Further, it is unlikely that the outstanding loan of the holding company would be repaid. Therefore, it will be in the interest of the Company as well as its shareholders to reduce its liabilities which will enhance the capital base and give comfort to the creditors and facilitate future business prospects without having any negative impact on the cash flows.

Proposal by the Board:

PKR 11.59/- per share as of August 8, 2024 as per closing rate at Pakistan Stock Exchange Limited. - Average Market Price of Share:
Average market price for share during last three months preceding the Board's decision is PKR 13.62/-. - Break-upValue per Share:
