Karachi: The National Bank of Pakistan disclosed a series of share transactions involving an executive of the bank, Karim Akram Khan, according to a regulatory filing executed under PSX Regulation 5.6.4. The transactions, carried out on October 31 and November 3, 2025, involved multiple purchases of shares, yet resulted in no change in the cumulative percentage of shares held by Mr. Khan.

On October 31, 2025, Karim Akram Khan executed three buy transactions. Initially, he acquired 500 shares at a rate of 218.50. Subsequently, he purchased 2,001 shares at 218.59, and later, 6,499 shares at 218.60. These transactions cumulatively increased his shareholding to 9,000 shares.

Transaction activity continued on November 3, 2025, with Mr. Khan purchasing 3,205 shares at 228.90, followed by 2,000 shares at 229.00. Further transactions included the acquisition of 3,292 shares at 228.89 and 2,528 shares also at 228.89. Concluding his transactions for the day, Mr. Khan bought 1,975 shares at 228.95, bringing his total holdings to 22,000 shares.

According to information available from the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), despite the cumulative addition of these shares, the percentage of shares held by Mr. Khan saw no change. This indicates a consistent but non-influential acquisition pattern within the broader market structure.

The transactions were conducted through the Central Depository Company (CDC) in the ready market category. The National Bank of Pakistan has underlined that all share dealings by executives, directors, or substantial shareholders are to be presented to the Board of Directors and comply with the Securities Act, 2015, ensuring transparency and adherence to regulatory standards.
