Delay in Results & Temporary Suspension

Summary by AI BETAClose X

Beximco Pharmaceuticals PLC will have its GDRs temporarily suspended from trading on AIM starting January 2, 2026, due to a delay in publishing its annual results for the year ended June 30, 2025, which is required by AIM Rule 19. This delay stems from an ongoing legal matter in the High Court of Bangladesh concerning the proposed appointment of additional independent non-executive directors, with a decision now not expected until January 2026 at the earliest. Trading will continue on the Dhaka and Chittagong Stock Exchanges.

Delay in Publication of Annual Results and Temporary Suspension of Trading in GDRs on AIM

 

Beximco Pharmaceuticals PLC ("the Company"; AIM Symbol: BXP, LEI No.: 213800IMBBD6TIOQGB56), the fast-growing manufacturer of generic pharmaceutical products and active pharmaceutical ingredients, announces that, as it will not be able to announce its final results and publish its Annual Report and Accounts, for the year ended 30 June 2025, before 31 December 2025, in compliance with Rule 19 of the AIM Rules ("AIM Rule 19"), trading in the Company's GDRs on AIM, will be temporarily suspended from 07.30 a.m. on 2 January 2026.

 

The Board has been unable to approve and publish financial results for the year ended 30 June 2025, including its audited annual results ("2025 Annual Results"), as a meeting of the Board of Directors is required. This is not possible currently because, in line with the Company's previous announcements, the most recent of which was dated 13 November 2025, Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission ("BSEC")'s proposed appointment of an additional nine independent non-executive directors to the Company's Board of Directors remains outstanding in the High Court of Bangladesh ("High Court").

 

The High Court is now in recess and due to a restructuring of the High Court Benches during 2025, the Company has been informed that its case will now have to be heard from the start in front of a new High Court Bench. The Company therefore believes that the High Court's decision on the BSEC Order will not be forthcoming until January 2026 at the earliest. Following the High Court's decision, the Company will then be able to approve and publish its annual results and anticipates that the suspension will be lifted at that time.

 

Shares will continue to trade on the Dhaka Stock Exchange and the Chittagong Stock Exchange.

 

The Company will continue to make announcements regarding any developments that need to be disclosed in accordance with its obligations under the AIM Rules, whilst the temporary suspension is in place.
