The extension comes as both parties continue to finalise details surrounding property transfer under terms initially agreed upon in their November contract. All other clauses within this binding document remain unchanged and fully enforceable.
Stakeholders are advised to stay informed about ongoing developments as PHDL communicates further updates through official channels.
On the same day, PHDL’s share price increased by about 7.4%.

It is worth mentioning here that the hotel has 400 rooms with an occupancy rate of 20 percent for the 2021-22 financial year, a significant improvement from the 9 percent occupancy rate in the previous year, which was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. In the first nine months of the 2022-23 financial year, PHDL posted a net profit of Rs45.5 million, down 38.3pc from the previous year.
