Subject: Extending NO Objection Certificate for the Capacity Expansion of Food,
Packaging, Culinary, Confectionary & Beverage items against USD 25.00 Million in favor of GUARANTCO, A/C — PRAN Agro Limited. Dear Sir, PRAN Agro Limited is the largest and Flagship Company of PRAN RFL Group. For last one decade, we are processing many agricultural produce continuously which are well-known to local household. Spices, tomato ketchup, mustard oil, pickle, drinks produced in this unit is carrying the flag to 140 countries of the world. Due to high demand in home and abroad of the culinary products, the management has decided to expand the production capacity. Currently we are planning to take debt finance for the largest culinary business of the nation through a Bond issuance by Bangladesh Securities Exchange Commission worth USD 25 million (or TK210.00 Crore). A foreign entity is providing a guarantee to the investors to limit the risk associated with the investment. In addition, since the guarantee is provided by a foreign entity named GURANTCO Limited, our cost for the investment will be less than the local market rate. This rate of the investment is making the finance very interesting! National Credit and Commerce Bank Limited had invested 158 crore taka through the sanction letter number NCCB/PSB/CR/PAL/2015 dated October 28, 2015. We have paid the entire amount except 5.5 crore as of April, 2021 which is due in November, 2021. The security against this investment was First Charge on the Fixed Assets (current and future). We had created charge on Machinery and Equipment for the entire amount to secure the investment. Today we require your kind consent to vacate charge on plant and machinery and continue the term loan for next 6 months. If for any reason you are not able to allow us to continue the loan without the security, we will have to pay off the remaining amount and move ahead with our new investment plans. We are obliged to you for all the assistance that you have provided us since the inception of our business and we wait for your quick positive response. Thanking you
