“We have made a number of key strategic moves recently through the acquisition of JL Morison which has enhanced our presence in pharmaceuticals, the development of our personal care business in Bangladesh and the opening of our third hospital, while divesting our shares in power. It is important for us to have the capital base to continue this growth trajectory while becoming increasingly focused on our strong presence in healthcare and personal care. We thank our shareholders for the confidence placed in our business.”
