EFG Hermes receives addendum to potential acquisition by Intermarket Securities

Addendum highlights an error in the weighted average share price (WASP) amount

EFG Hermes Pakistan Limited has received an addendum from Intermarket Securities, a Karachi-based brokerage firm, regarding its publicly announced intention to acquire a 51% shareholding and control of EFG Hermes Pakistan. 

According to a notice sent by EFG Hermes to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) on Monday, this addendum relates to an earlier public announcement of intention by Intermarket Securities on November 21, 2023, to acquire shareholding and control of EFG Hermes Pakistan Limited. 

The addendum to the public announcement of intention was issued by Intermarket Securities due to an error in the Weighted Average Share Price (WASP) amount.

The WASP as quoted on the PSX during the 28 days preceding the date of public announcement of intention, is Rs 13.20 per share. The addendum further states that the revised WASP is due to an error in the calculation. The addendum has already been notified to EFG’s Board of Directors. 

Multiline Securities Limited is the manager of the potential acquisition. 

The issued addendum contains material information and requires disclosure according to Section 96 of the Securities Act, 2015, and Clause 5.6.1(a) of the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) rules, as read in the company’s notice, which suggests the disclosure of price-sensitive information.

The EFG Hermes Holding specialises in securities brokerage, asset management, investment banking, private equity, and research in addition to a finance lease, factoring, microfinance, financial technology, mortgage, and insurance.

 When the company inaugurated its office in Pakistan in 2017, it became the first foreign investment bank to directly enter the market since 2008 and the first foreign broker to have a local footprint in Pakistan. The firm acquired Pakistani brokerage Invest and Finance Securities Ltd. (IFSL), which has been operating since 1999, and renamed it as EFG Hermes Pakistan Limited.

  1. MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE ON LOST CRYPTO RECOVERY!

    I read so many stories about bitcoin loss to scams. I will like to start by saying the agencies responsible for bitcoin security has really done nothing to help locate stolen or lost coins. In my situation my MacBook was hacked by someone that had access to my emails, i immediately contacted blockchain and they only wasted my time, after which i worked towards getting help else where, i was referred to consult a bitcoin expert who helped track and retrieved my 3.3 btc, for an agreed fee. I was more than grateful and willing to pay more after the job was done. Thankful i didn’t fall victim and would like to recommend ( MORRIS GRAY 830 @ G maiL . COM )
