Karachi: An executive at Nimir Industrial Chemicals Limited has engaged in significant transactions involving company shares, complying fully with the regulatory framework stipulated by the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX).
On July 12, 2024, Salman Azmat, an executive of Nimir Industrial Chemicals, sold a total of 35,500 shares in two separate transactions, according to the details filed with PSX. The shares were sold at prices of 117.05 and 117.00 rupees respectively, and both transactions were carried out electronically through the Central Depository Company (CDC).
According to information available from the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), this disclosure falls under Regulation No. 5.6.1(d) of PSX regulations, which mandates timely reporting of any such transactions to ensure transparency and prevent any potential conflicts of interest. The regulation is designed to maintain fair trading practices within the securities market by monitoring the activities of executives and major shareholders within listed companies.
Furthermore, the company confirmed that the holding period for the shares sold by Azmat exceeded six months. This detail is crucial as it aligns with the compliance requirements of Section 105 of the Securities Act, 2015. This section dictates that if shares are sold within six months, the profit from such transactions must be surrendered to the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP), highlighting the mechanisms in place to curb speculative trading by insiders.
This event underscores the ongoing efforts of regulatory bodies to uphold stringent compliance standards within Pakistan’s financial markets, ensuring that all transactions are conducted transparently and ethically, safeguarding the interests of all market participants.
