In preparation for this significant meeting, MCB Bank Limited has declared a "Closed Period" from January 30, 2025, to February 06, 2025. This period is mandated under Clause 5.6.4 of the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) Regulations. During this time, the Directors, CEO, and other executives of the bank are prohibited from directly or indirectly engaging in any transactions involving the bank's shares. This measure aims to prevent any potential conflicts of interest or misuse of insider information while ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.

According to information available from the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), the Closed Period is a routine practice adopted by publicly listed companies to maintain transparency and uphold investor confidence. It is a crucial step in ensuring that all financial disclosures and decisions are made with the utmost integrity and without any undue influence from insider trading. The PSX remains a critical market for stakeholders and investors seeking to stay informed on corporate governance practices.

The bank has also communicated the details of this Closed Period to the TRE Certificate Holders of the Stock Exchange, ensuring that all relevant parties are informed and can act accordingly. This communication is part of the bank's ongoing commitment to maintaining open lines of dialogue with its stakeholders and adhering to best practices in corporate governance.
