WindForce PLC Withdraws Proposed LKR 4 Billion Green Bond Issue Application
Renewable energy company WindForce PLC has withdrawn its initial listing application for a proposed LKR 4 billion Green Bond issue, citing prevailing adverse market conditions.
In a corporate disclosure to the Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE) on Monday (28), the company confirmed that it would not proceed with the proposed debenture issuance due to the “prevailing adverse market conditions.”
The decision follows an earlier announcement dated 2 April 2026, when the Board of Directors approved plans to issue up to 40 million Listed, Rated, Senior, Unsecured, Redeemable Green Bonds with an aggregate value of up to LKR 4 billion, subject to the necessary regulatory approvals.
At the time, the company had indicated that further details relating to the bonds, including their tenure, interest rate and other terms, would be announced at a later stage.
However, amid changing market and broader economic conditions, WindForce PLC has decided to withdraw the proposed issue before the bonds were placed in the market.
The latest decision means the company will not proceed with the planned Green Bond issuance under the initial application.
