Islamabad: Notice is hereby given that Fauji Fertilizer Bin Qasim Limited will hold an Extraordinary General Meeting (EOGM) on 19 August 2024 in Islamabad to address critical organizational changes including the relocation of its registered office from Islamabad to Punjab, and other special business matters.
The primary agenda for the EOGM involves the confirmation of minutes from the Annual General Meeting held on 25 March 2024, along with the pivotal decision to shift the company’s registered office from FFBL Tower, Islamabad to The Mall in Rawalpindi Cantt., Punjab. This shift is subject to the approval of the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) and necessitates the amendment of Clause II in the Memorandum of Association to reflect the new location in Punjab.
According to information available from the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), the board has also granted in-principle approval for a potential amalgamation with Fauji Fertilizer Company Limited, contingent on this strategic relocation. This move is expected to facilitate regulatory and legal processes by positioning the company within the jurisdiction of the relevant High Court.
Additional items on the meeting’s agenda include standard business such as the approval of a proxy to vote on behalf of a member unable to attend, and operational changes including the closure of share transfer books from 13 August to 19 August 2024. The meeting will also cover administrative protocols such as e-voting, which opens from 16 August until 18 August 2024, and postal ballot voting, with details provided for ensuring the authentication and submission of votes.
The company is committed to ensuring that all members can participate in the EOGM effectively, offering video conference facilities in Karachi and Lahore for shareholders, alongside the traditional in-person meeting setup.
This strategic shift and the upcoming meeting underscore Fauji Fertilizer Bin Qasim Limited’s ongoing efforts to streamline operations and enhance corporate governance, aligning with regulatory frameworks and shareholder interests.
