LSE Ventures Approves Stock Split to Enhance Share Liquidity

LSE Ventures Limited has announced a significant decision to split its stock, reducing the par value of its shares from Rs. 10 to Rs. 5. The resolution was unanimously approved by shareholders during the company’s Extraordinary General Meeting (EOGM) held on August 16, 2025. The stock split will double the number of shares in the company’s authorized capital, increasing from 300 million shares to 600 million shares, while maintaining the total authorized capital at Rs. 3 billion. This move is aimed at improving share liquidity and making the stock more accessible to a broader range of investors, according to the notification to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX). The shareholders also approved amendments to the company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association to reflect the stock split. The Board of Directors has been authorized to determine the entitlement and book closure dates to implement the subdivision. The stock split is expected to enhance trading activity and attract more investors by lowering the per-share price, making it more affordable. In addition to the stock split, the EOGM also saw the election of seven directors for a three-year term starting August 18, 2025. The newly elected directors include Muhammad Iqbal, Aasiya Riaz, and Sardar Shahbaz Iqbal Ahmed Khan from the shareholders’ category, and Muhammad Tabassum Munir, Muhammad Saleem Ahmad Ranjha, and Mehr Saleem as independent directors.
