SAMP and VONE

Note 12 in the latest quarterly financial statement mentions that VONE has changed the SAMP status to 'available for sale'.  Can it be an indication that VONE will try to find a buyer and dispose SAMP if the price is right.
Anyone has any idea on this matter?

You are correct. This classification enables VONE to dispose the investment in the open market.

Are u crazy????they have to do it cause dammika perera whos the owner of the vone have to step down as the chairman of SAMP.

Dammika will never dispose SAMP stake.

Cannot expect capital gain on disposal of SAMP since it's cost 279/=.But DP may have some investment plan on cash generated from disposal(around 6Billion on current market price).He is master on that.

The Investment in Sampath Bank PLC of the group was accounted as equity accounted investee as per the provisions of LKAS 28 on the

Correct.
26Million shares x -20(cost of share 279-market price 259)=loss 520M or 451M whichever

Changing to portfolio into investment available for sale leaves the option for VONE to get rid of their holdings with SAMP. This could happen at any time making the strength of SAMP upside down if deal is done at lower price.
So can we expect a forceful consequence to both VONE & SAMP? Is it the fact to slow down the share movement?

SAMP
