1 June 20211 June 2021 Chidi Emenike Leave a comment

The Board of Japaul Gold and Ventures Plc has rescheduled its Board meeting originally scheduled to hold on the 30th of March to 1st of June, 2021

This is according to a recent disclosure by the company which reads: ‘’Please be informed that the Board Meeting earlier scheduled pursuant to the approval obtained from the Exchange to hold on the 30th March, 2021 to receive and consider the Audited Financial Statements of the company for the period ended December 31, 2020 has been rescheduled for the 1st June, 2021.’’

On the other hand, despite the shift in the date for the board meeting, the firm however did not adjust its close period. It maintained its earlier stance that the close period remains 27th of March, 2021.

Recall that Japaul Gold had earlier announced that it will hold a virtual board meeting on the 30th day of March, 2021 by 10:00am. The meeting which is scheduled to be held via zoom is expected to consider among other things, the audited financial statements of the firm for the period ended December 31, 2020.

The firm in April 2021 notified shareholders and other relevant stakeholders, of its inability to file its audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020 as expected which was due for submission on the regulatory date of 31st of March, 2021. The firm attributed this delay to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic which slowed down the company’s operational bases and as a result of which key officers are indisposed.

It is pertinent to note that the firm is yet to release its FY 2020 results. In this regard, the firm assured stakeholders that the audit exercise is still in process and that all measures will be taken to ensure that the result is filed in good time.

Dangote Cement Plc renews Share Buyback Programme

28 May 202128 May 2021 Chidi Emenike Leave a comment

Sequel to the approval granted at the recently concluded 12th Annual General Meeting of the company, Dangote Cement Plc has announced the renewal of its Share Buyback Programme.

According to a disclosure signed by the company’s secretary, Edward Imoedemhe and seen by Nairametrics, the renewal of the Share Buyback Programme is premised on timelines and terms to be determined by Board of Directors, subject to obtaining requisite regulatory approval.

It is worthy to note that Nairametrics had earlier reported the initial commencement of the programme, in which the firm is expected to buy back 85 million issued shares of the company. The programme was meant to be effected in tranches, and the first tranche was executed by Meristem Stockbrokers Limited and Vetiva Securities Limited.

The Share Buy-Back Programme is in line with the framework provided under Rule 398 (3)(xiv) of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) Rules and Regulations (as applicable) and in accordance with Rule 13.18 of the Rulebook of the Nigerian Stock Exchange (“The NSE”).

However, given the debilitating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the firm disclosed that it became apparently difficult for it to effectively implement the programme as planned. With the recent stabilization of the economy and improvement in economic conditions, evident by the growth in the nation’s GDP, the Board of Directors consequently agreed to fully implemnent further tranches of the programme.
