Ring Shine to repay loans from Premier Bank instead of Woori Bank from IPO funds

Ring Shine Textile Limited (RSTL) will use IPO funds to repay loans it has taken from Premier Bank. The company repaid the loan taken from Woori Bank before it got the IPO funds from the capital market.

Ring Shine has collected Tk 150-crore funds from the country's share market through an Initial Public Offering (IPO) this year. It had declared that it will use this money to repay loans taken from Dhaka Bank and Woori Bank as well as for expanding its business. 

The company had planned to repay Tk28 crore loans from Dhaka Bank and Tk22 crore from Woori Bank from the IPO funds. However, the loan from Woori Bank was repaid before the company withdrew the IPO fund from the capital market. 

Ring Shine Textile's Secretary Asraf Ali told The Business Standard that the company will now use the money earmarked for Woori Bank to repay a loan taken from Premier Bank.

 "The loan from Premier Bank will be repaid after we get approval from the Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission, the regulatory body of the capital market," he added.  

Additionally, the company will use the IPO fund to procure and install machinery at a cost of Tk 96.40-crore for the existing factory in the Dhaka EPZ for production of denim.
