Bangkok--Mar 7--SET
President of the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) Mr. Kittiratt Na-Ranong disclosed that the SET would extend its temporary prohibition on net settlement and/or margin trading of Agripure Holdings Plc.’s common shares (APURE) and its rights to purchase shares (warrants) of Agripure Holdings Plc. (APURE-W1) for another 20 business days: from March 7 to April 1, 2005.
The SET has previously temporarily twice prohibited the trading of APURE and APURE-W1 by net settlement and/or margin basis. The first period lasted for 5 business days, from Feb. 11 — 17, 2005, while the second was for 10 business days, from Feb. 18 to Mar. 4, 2005.
However, there still have been unusual movements of trading volume, prices, and/or value of APURE and APURE-W1. Therefore, to prevent the negative repercussions, the SET will extend the previous prohibition of both APURE and APURE-W1 for the further 20 trading days.
Mr. Kittiratt said that: “In addition to the prohibition, the SET may also consider prohibiting the brokers to receive orders from a certain group of customers if it is found that the Group has been involved in the abnormality of APURE and APURE-W1 trading.”
