The reason
The reasons for appoint of independent directors, the BSEC said that with effect from 05 September 2016, the company was placed/transferred in the “Z-category” and shares of the company have been trading under the Z-Category with the Stock Exchange for a period of 4 years more, but the company failed to improve performance during the period.
The company failed to declare cash dividend for a period of 10 years from 2010 and failed to hold its Annual General Meeting (AGM) within the stipulated time.
The company was not in operation for a period of more than 4 years and jointly holding of shares by sponsors and directors of the company, is less than 05 per cent of paid-up capital of the company. aviation news bd
Moreover, the BSEC notification said “ it appear that the company is not appropriately growing and the shareholders, other than directors of the company (holding 95 per cent of the paid up capital of the company) are not getting dividends for a long period, which is detrimental to the interest of he investors of the company and undesirable to the Commission.”
