The Nigerian Stock Exchange has lifted the suspension of trading in the shares of Thomas Wyatt Nigeria Plc.

The NSE, in a statement on Monday, referred to its Market Bulletin dated November 1, 2018, which notified the public of the suspension of six listed companies for non-compliance with the rules for filing of accounts and treatment of default filing and the rulebook of the exchange (issuers’ rules).

It said the rule provided that if an issuer failed to file the relevant accounts by the expiration of the cure period, the Exchange would send to the issuer a ‘Second Filing Deficiency Notification’ within two business days after the end of the cure period.

The bourse added that trading in the issuer’s securities would be suspended and the Securities and Exchange Commission and the market would be notified within 24 hours of the suspension.

The statement read in part, “Thomas Wyatt Nigeria Plc, which was among the companies suspended, has now filed its outstanding interim financial statements to the Exchange.

“In view of the submission of the company’s accounts and pursuant to rule 3.3 of the default filing rules, which provides that ‘the suspension of trading in the issuer’s securities will be lifted upon submission of the relevant accounts provided the Exchange is satisfied that the accounts comply with all applicable rules of the Exchange.’”

According to the rule, the Exchange shall thereafter also announce through the medium by which the public and the SEC was initially notified of the suspension.

“The general public is hereby notified that the suspension placed in the trading of the company’s shares has been lifted, effective Wednesday, March 20, 2018.”
