ZCCM Investments Holdings Plc (“ZCCM-IH” or the “Company”) takes cognisance of the Public Censure Announcement issued by the Lusaka Securities Exchange Plc (LuSE) on 21st October 2021.

ZCCM-IH regrets the breach of the LuSE Listing Rules (“the Rules”) and would like to assure its shareholders and stakeholders that the Company remains committed to adhering to the LuSE listing rules and regulations, having disclosed the details of the cited matter in the Directors’ Interim Unaudited Financial Results for ZCCM Investments Holdings and its Subsidiaries (‘‘The Group’’) For the Six Months Period Ended 30th June 2021, issued on 07th October 2021.

The action in question was not taken with the view to deliberately disregard the Rules but was necessitated by the urgent need to safeguard the strategic national asset.

Once again, ZCCM-IH regrets this unfortunate occurrence.
