“Failure to do so will attract further sanctions as per the GSE Listing Rules,” the statement added.

This is the second time the GSE is suspending companies from the stock market.

The GSE also in August 2017, suspended UT Bank from the country’s stock market.

This follows the collapse and subsequent takeover of UT Bank by GCB Bank.
