WorldCall Announces 10-for-1 Stock Split Following Capital Reduction

WorldCall Telecom Limited has completed a court approved capital restructuring that reduces the nominal value of each ordinary share from Rs. 10 to Rs. 1, while leaving the company’s total number of ordinary shares unchanged.

The restructuring was carried out under an order issued by the Lahore High Court on July 8, 2026, and involved two linked steps: a reduction in the company’s paid up ordinary share capital followed by a consequential stock split. WorldCall disclosed the completion of the process to the Pakistan Stock Exchange on August 10.

Under the stock split, each ordinary share with a nominal value of Rs. 10 remaining after the capital reduction was subdivided into 10 ordinary shares with a nominal value of Rs. 1 each.

Despite the stock split, the overall number of ordinary shares remained unchanged after the integrated restructuring and related adjustments. The company said the net effect on the number of ordinary shares was nil, while the nominal value per share fell from Rs. 10 to Rs. 1.

WorldCall said the capital reduction and stock split were components of a single integrated restructuring implemented sequentially for operational purposes. The accounting impact will be reflected in the company’s financial statements through adjustments to capital reserves, share discounts and other relevant reserves and equity accounts.

The company said the restructuring is intended to rationalize and realign its equity structure, facilitate the elimination or absorption of historical balance sheet distortions and contribute to a cleaner and more sustainable balance sheet.
