Crest Micro Life Insurance IPO Lock-In Period Ends: What Investors Need to Know!
Hey investors! Big news for those who participated in the Crest Micro Life Insurance IPO! The lock-in period for the IPO shares has officially concluded. This is a significant development for shareholders and anyone interested in investing in Nepal’s insurance sector.
For those who might be new to this, a lock-in period is a timeframe where investors are restricted from selling their newly acquired shares. This is a common practice during initial public offerings (IPOs), as it helps stabilize the market and ensures long-term investment commitment. In the case of Crest Micro Life Insurance, the lock-in period was six months from the share allocation date.
Crest Micro Life Insurance Limited initially offered its shares to the public via an IPO on February 22, 2025, equivalent to Falgun 22, 2081 in the Nepali calendar. A total of 22,50,000 shares were offered, representing 30% of the company’s issued capital of 75 crore. Out of this, 1,12,500 shares, representing 5% of the total IPO shares, were subject to the lock-in clause.
Now that the lock-in period has ended, those shares are eligible for trading on the secondary market. This means Crest Micro Life Insurance shareholders can now buy or sell their shares through a licensed stockbroker on the Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE).
