Chishty is Not KE Shareholder and Can’t Sell Shares: Aljomaih Power

Aljomaih Power Ltd, shareholder of K-Electric has said that Chishty does not have shares in KE and therefore, can not sell it.

In a communication sent to K-Electric, Shan A. Ashary Director has termed the signing of deal between Chishty and Saudi Investors as tactic to gain popularity and just a photo session.

I write in my capacity as a director of KES Power Limited (“KESP”) and on behalf of Al Jomaih Power Limited (“AJP”), a shareholder in KESP, in response to your e-mail dated 10 October 2025 concerning the reports that Mr. Chishty has “signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)” for the sale of “a majority shareholding in KES Power Ltd.” Your email requests that we share “all relevant and material details relating to the transaction.”

Aside from the reports advanced in the media, director said that he is not aware of any transaction for the sale of shares in KESP. Significantly, no information has been provided to the Board of KESP or to the shareholders of KESP. I am concerned that the announcement is intended to influence public opinion in Pakistan by generating extensive coverage as well as assume a semblance of respectability in official circles through apparent affiliation with Saudi officials. Media releases of this type are not in the interests of KESP or any other shareholder of KE. That is particularly the case where those officials have not informed us or KE of their intention to proceed. In substance, this appears to amount to little more than a photo opportunity.

Not only am I not aware of a sale but the media reports also appear to be factually incorrect because Mr. Chishty does not own any shares in KESP and to the extent that he has tried to acquire those shares (or control of them), the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands (where the relevant litigation is taking place because that is where KESP, its shareholders and Sage are incorporated) has recently ruled that there is a serious issue to be tried as to whether those efforts are in breach of the agreement entered into between the shareholders of KESP (the “SHA”). By way of example:

1. Mr. Chishty does not own any shares in KESP and so he cannot sell any shares. The shareholders in KESP are AJP, Denham Investments Limited (“Denham”) and IGCF SPV 21 Limited (“SPV 21”). The sole director of SPV 21 is Casey McDonald. Accordingly, the only person that can legally sell the shares in SPV 21 is Mr. McDonald.
2. The SHA prohibits Casey McDonald and SPV 21 from permitting or taking any action which would result in a change of control of SPV 21 itself.
3. In contravention of the above provision, Mr. Chishty has sought to take control of SPV 21 absent the consent of AJP and/or Denham. AJP and Denham have commenced proceedings in the Cayman Islands to restrain that breach.
4. In a judgment dated 31 July 2025 (Al Jomaih Power Limited v IGCF SPV 21 Ltd FSD2025-0037), the Honourable Justice Aisif of the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands concluded that there was a serious issue to be tried as to whether SPV 21 had breached the SHA by permitting or allowing Mr. Chishty to take control of SPV 21.

For all of the above reasons, I do not believe that Mr. Chishty has any right or entitlement to sell any shares in KESP and the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands has held that any attempt by him to control SPV 21 would breach the SHA. Absent an agreement with AJP and Denham or compliance with the SHA, there can be no change,” Shan A. Ashary Director said.
