Kathmandu: Pokhara Finance and Samriddhi Finance have finalized the share exchange ratio for their proposed merger, agreeing to a 1:1 share swap arrangement.
The two finance companies, which had earlier signed a preliminary agreement to proceed with the merger, reached consensus to exchange shares at an equal ratio. Under this arrangement, shareholders of both institutions will receive one share in the merged entity for each share they currently hold.
The decision follows a detailed evaluation process carried out by a joint merger committee formed on the basis of a memorandum of understanding signed on 20 July 2025. An independent valuer appointed by the committee assessed the assets, liabilities, and overall business operations of both Pokhara Finance and Samriddhi Finance. Based on the valuation report and the committee’s review, the 1:1 share swap ratio was recommended.
The joint merger committee subsequently submitted the proposed swap ratio to the boards of directors of both institutions for approval. Acting on the committee’s recommendation, the board of directors, at its 570th meeting held on 4 January 2026, approved the 1:1 share exchange ratio for the purpose of the merger.
