Trading halt
16.6
PLC B announces its quarterly report for the financial period ended 30 September 2009 ("3rd QR") on 30 November 2009 at 5.30 p.m. Will trading halt be imposed on PLC B's securities on 1 December 2009 (i.e. the next market day)?
Generally, Bursa Securities will not impose any trading halt when a material announcement is released after 5 p.m. because investors have the opportunity to digest the information before the commencement of trading at 9 a.m. on the next market day. However, pursuant to paragraph 3.2 of Practice Note 20, Bursa Securities may at its discretion, suspend the trading of the listed issuer’s securities for the entire day or such period as Bursa Securities deems appropriate.
