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 (PSX) 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 this subdivision, the overall number of ordinary shares outstanding remained unchanged following the integrated restructuring and related adjustments. The company confirmed that the net effect on the total number of ordinary shares was nil, while the nominal value per share fell from Rs. 10 to Rs. 1 as a direct result of the process.
WorldCall said the capital reduction and stock split were components of a single integrated restructuring that was implemented sequentially for operational purposes. According to the company, the accounting impact of the exercise will be reflected in its financial statements through adjustments to capital reserves, share discounts, and other relevant reserves and equity accounts. The company said the overall goal of the exercise was to rationalize and realign its equity structure in a way that supports cleaner financial reporting going forward.
The company further stated that the restructuring is intended to facilitate the elimination or absorption of historical balance sheet distortions, contributing to what it described as a cleaner and more sustainable balance sheet. WorldCall’s move comes amid a broader pattern of listed Pakistani companies undertaking capital restructuring exercises to strengthen their financial position and improve transparency for shareholders on the Pakistan Stock Exchange. No change to the company’s overall market value or shareholder equity was reported as a result of the restructuring, with the adjustments confined to the nominal share value and associated accounting entries.
