CHAIRPERSON’S MESSAGE

Message from the Chairperson

Dear Shareholders, Members of the Board, and Valued Stakeholders,

Firstly, I extend my deepest condolences to the families of the martyrs who lost their lives during the tragic events of September 2025. The loss of many young lives and the suffering of those injured have deeply saddened us all. We honor their sacrifice with respect and remembrance, standing in solidarity with the grieving families during this difficult time.

Despite these hardships, the resilience and unity of the Nepali people continue to inspire us. While communities, infrastructure, and businesses faced significant disruption, Sagar Distillery Limited (SAGAR) remained committed to responsible operations, supporting livelihoods, and contributing positively to national progress. As we move forward, we do so with humility, hope, and determination to play our part in building a stronger, more inclusive, and prosperous Nepal, honoring those we have lost through meaningful action.

It is an honor to address you at a transformative moment in Sagar Distillery’s journey. As we navigate an increasingly complex operating landscape, we remain guided by a clear and compelling Vision—to create meaningful experiences through innovative spirits that delight consumers. This vision continues to inspire our actions and strengthen our resolve as a bold challenger in Nepal’s evolving liquor industry.
