Islamabad: The Board of Directors of the Pakistan Tobacco Company is scheduled to meet on September 11, 2024, through 'Circulation Email' to deliberate on a significant matter. The company has announced a "Closed Period" from September 4 to September 11, 2024, during which no director, CEO, or executive is permitted to trade the company’s shares.

The upcoming board meeting is expected to address issues deemed crucial by the company, though specific details of the matters to be considered have not been disclosed. The "Closed Period" is mandated under Clause 5.6.1(d) of the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) Regulations, aimed at preventing insider trading during key decision-making periods.

According to information available from the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), this practice is standard to ensure transparency and fairness in dealings that could influence stock values. The prohibition on trading shares during this period applies to all directors, the CEO, and executives, ensuring that no internal information is unfairly used for personal gain.

Members of the exchange have been informed of the closed period to uphold regulatory compliance and maintain market integrity.
