First HoldCo Plc has announced the commencement of a closed period ahead of the consideration and release of its unaudited financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2026.
In a regulatory filing signed by the Group Company Secretary, Abiola Baruwa, the company disclosed that its Board of Directors will meet on Tuesday to consider the unaudited financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2026.
To comply with the Nigerian Exchange Limited (NGX) Issuers’ Rules, the closed period commenced on Wednesday, July 1, 2026, and will remain in effect until 24 hours after the company’s unaudited financial statements have been filed through the NGX Issuers’ Portal.
During the closed period, directors, members of management, insiders and other persons with access to material non-public information are prohibited from trading in the company’s shares.
The restriction is designed to promote market integrity and ensure that individuals with access to unpublished financial information do not trade on information that is not yet available to the investing public.
First HoldCo stated that all insiders and their related persons have been duly notified of the trading restriction in accordance with Rule 17.18(a) of the Nigerian Exchange Rulebook governing listed issuers.
Investors will closely monitor the company’s half-year earnings when they are released following the July 28 board meeting, as the results are expected to provide fresh insight into the group’s financial performance during the first half of 2026.
