The Nigerian Stock Exchange, NSE, on Monday placed shares of Oando Plc on technical suspension.
A notice posted by the exchange said the company’s shares will henceforth be available for trading but there will be no price movement while the technical suspension subsists.
The NSE had last Wednesday suspended trading in the shares of Oando plc for two days.
The Exchange in a notice said it was acting based on the directive of the Securities andExchange Commission, SEC.
PREMIUM TIMES had earlier reported that SEC directed the full suspension on trading in the shares of the oil firm following petitions forwarded to it by aggrieved stakeholders.
In its notice, signed by Tinuade Awe, General Counsel and Head of Regulation at
the NSE, the Exchange explained that the full suspension is effective for 48 hours from Wednesday to Friday, after which it would commence a technical suspension until further directive.
“A full suspension is the halt of trading activities in a listed security for a period,” Ms. Awe said.
“A technical suspension is the interruption of price movement in a listed security for a period so that any dealings in the securitieswhich occur during the period of the suspension will not result in any change in price, which change may have occurred hadthe suspension not been implemented.”
On Monday, the Exchange confirmed it hadlifted the full suspension on the firm.
“Dealing Members are referred to our market bulletins of Wednesday, 18 October 2017 (NSE/LARD/LRD/MB05/17/10/18) notifying them that effective Friday, 20 October 2017 and until further directive, the shares of Oando Plc (“Oando” or “the Company”) will be placed on technical suspension; and that of Friday, 20 October 2017 (NSE/LARD/LRD/MB07/17/10/20) informing them that the shares of Oando were still on full suspension as the process of converting from full to technical suspension was yet to be completed.
