Posted by methun

In all, 138 companies and mutual funds cannot be traded on Dec 1 on account of record date for changing the face value of shares.

Shares of these companies and funds will be available for trading in the spot market starting Monday.

Dhaka Stock Exchange chief executive Jahurul Alam told  on Saturday that the companies and funds which would change their face value to Tk 10 would not be trading on Dec 1.

"Before a record date, they must stay in the spot market for three days," he added.

The Securities and Exchange Commission on Sep 15 ordered all companies and funds listed in the stock market to change their face value to Tk 10. From Dec 4, all companies can be traded at face value.

DSE public relations office says there are now a total of 271 companies and mutual funds listed on the bourse. Of these, shares of 113 companies have a face value of Tk 10. The rest, 124 companies and 14 mutual funds, will have to change their face value.

Most of the companies have announced changing their face value to Tk 10, but DSE does not have any record in this regard.

"We're going to hold a meeting on Monday, and then we'll be able to tell if any company is left out," DSE president Shakil Rizvi told .
