Islamabad: Attock Cement Pakistan Limited is set to conduct an Extraordinary General Meeting on October 20, 2026, where key decisions regarding the election of directors and a proposed name change of the company will be addressed. The meeting will be held at Jacaranda Family Club, DHA Phase-II, Islamabad, with provisions for participation via video link.

The company has announced the candidacy of seven individuals for the election of directors, a move pursuant to Section 159(4) of the Companies Act, 2017. The candidates include Lt. Gen. Anwar Ali Hyder, HI (M), Retd., Lt. Gen. Muhammad Saeed, HI (M), Retd., Mr. Mazhar Abbas Hasnani, Ms. Shabnam Faqir Mohammad, Mr. Aamer Mahmud Malik, Mr. Waqar Ahmad Khan, and Mr. Mohammad Majid Munir. As the number of candidates matches the number of available director positions, these individuals will be deemed elected at the meeting.

In addition to the election, shareholders will consider a special resolution proposing to change the company's name from "Attock Cement Pakistan Limited" to "Falcon Cement Limited." The resolution also includes amendments to the Memorandum and Articles of Association to reflect the new name and the relocation of the company's office to a yet-to-be-determined location in the Province of Punjab.

Shareholders are provided with the option to vote on these resolutions through postal ballots. The ballot papers must be submitted to the Chairman at Attock Cement’s head office in Karachi or via the designated email address provided in the notice.

According to information available from the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), Attock Cement is categorized under the designated market category of cement manufacturers. This proposed name change aims to align the company’s brand identity with its core business operations.

The meeting will also authorize the Chief Executive Officer and/or the Company Secretary to liaise with the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) and other relevant authorities to facilitate the proposed changes.

Attock Cement's strategic moves, including the directorial elections and the proposed rebranding, underscore the company's focus on strengthening its governance and market presence. The outcomes of the Extraordinary General Meeting will be closely watched by industry stakeholders and investors.
