OVERVIEW OF COMPANY'S INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO

The Company has a vibrant investment portfolio with steel and foods being the major components.

Dost Steel Limited (DSL)

The Company made an equity investment of PKR 421 million in 2016 in Dost Steel Limited, a state of art re-rolling plant situated in Punjab. As valued by independent valuers the market asset value of DSL in 2019 was PKR 5 billion which currently translates to PKR 6 billion based on the current dollar rupee parity. This equity investment was made against shareholders agreement whereby the Company was to be issued 93.7 million shares representing 29.7%. It was also agreed that CSIL will have 60% nomination on the board of DSL as well as Mr. Naim Anwar to be Chairman of the Board. Unfortunately CSIL received only 15 million shares against

93.7 million. The Company since then have been pursuing with the sponsors to issue the balance shares. However the sponsors have been refusing to issue the balance shares. In order to protect the Company's interest, CSIL has taken the following steps:

  1. The Company has initiated legal proceeding in the Lahore High Court for issuance of the balance shares as well as recovery of the markup charged by CSIL on the advance given to DSL. The hearing of the case is in progress and the Company expects a favorable decision in its favor. Resultantly CSIL will have majority say in the affairs of DSL.
  2. DSL management has passed in EOGM to issue shares otherwise than right to a potential new investor which CSIL has opposed on the ground that shares to new investor cannot be issued without first issuing to CSIL for its investment in DSL. We are pleased to state that SECP has upheld our objection that shares to new investor cannot be issued without first issuing shares to CSIL.

Crescent Star Foods (Private) Limited (CSF)

The Company's subsidiary Crescent Star Foods (Private) Limited is in the process of merger with and into PICIC Insurance Limited which will effectively make CSF a listed Company. Unfortunately the merger process has been extraordinarily delayed. The petition for sanction of the Scheme of Arrangement could not be heard by the Honorable Court due to Covid and the board being discharged on several occasions due to the high number of cases before the Bench.

After the merger the surviving entity PICIC Insurance Limited plans to become a FMCG Company. The business plan envisages opening up of 100 restaurants. Listing of the Company will open other avenues of investment as well and the sponsors have prepared a detailed business plan which will be shared with the shareholders once the merger is sanctioned by the Court. The Company expects to benefit from the allocation of swap shares which will be considered as investment in securities.
