Following the recent abnormal price hike of the company’s share, the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) served show-cause notice on the company.

The company informed the DSE today (Wednesday) that there is no undisclosed price sensitive information for recent unusual price hike of its shares.

“We are surprised seeing the unusual price hike of shares and the volume of trade in the market,” said the company’s statement posted on the Dhaka bourse’s website.

The company noted that their mill is closed since June, 2016 and they have no undisclosed decision/information relating to the company’s operation/profitability regarding unusual price hike in the market and the reason behind the unusual price of shares of the company is fully unknown.
