ZSE chief executive officer, Alban Chirume said the company should comply with convening shareholders’ meetings for the years 2014 and 2015, distribute outstanding annual reports for the aforesaid financial years to shareholders and payment of outstanding listing fees.
“Having sought permission of the Securities and Exchange Commission of Zimbabwe pursuant to section 64 (a)(ii) of the securities and Exchange Act (Chapter 24.25), the suspension is with effect from December 1, 2016. In terms of section 1.8 of the ZSE listing requirements, the company should continue to discharge its obligation to the shareholders and the ZSE after suspension,” he said in a statement.

According to statistics from the ZSE, the company has not been trading frequently on the market.
