Karachi, Century Paper and Board Mills Limited has announced a rescheduling of its 40th Annual General Meeting (AGM), which was initially slated for September 25, 2023. The company has communicated that due to unforeseen circumstances, the AGM will now take place on October 17, 2023.

In light of this change, the dates for the closure of the Share Transfer Books of the company have also been adjusted. The revised dates for the book closure are set as October 10, 2023, to October 17, 2023, encompassing both these days.

The Share Transfer Books are typically closed ahead of an AGM to determine the list of shareholders eligible to attend the meeting. In this case, transfers received by the Shares Registrar of the company, M/s. FAMCO Associates (Private) Limited, located at 8-F, Near Hotel Faran, Nursery, Block-6, P.E.C.H.S., Shahra-e-Faisal, Karachi, until the close of business on October 09, 2023, will be considered in time for the purpose of attendance at the rescheduled Annual General Meeting.

Rescheduling an AGM is a significant administrative change that can impact the timelines and logistics associated with the meeting. It's a decision often made after careful consideration of various factors that could affect the shareholders' ability to attend and participate effectively.

While the company did not disclose the specific reasons for the rescheduling, such changes are not uncommon and can occur due to factors ranging from regulatory requirements to logistical challenges or unforeseen events.

As Century Paper and Board Mills Limited readjusts its plans to accommodate the new AGM date, shareholders and stakeholders will likely await further communication on the agenda and proceedings for the rescheduled meeting. The company's decision to revise the AGM date and Share Transfer Book closure dates underscores the importance of flexibility and effective communication in the management of corporate affairs.
