Perigeum Capital is pleased to have been associated with the following new listings on the Official Market of the Stock Exchange of Mauritius Ltd (the “SEM”)
The Listing Executive Committee of the SEM (the ”LEC”) has approved on 02 May 2022, the listing of 5,100,000 ordinary shares of no par value of Sree Agro (the “Ordinary Shares”), by way of introduction.
The Ordinary Shares will be listed on the Official Market of the SEM on 30 May 2022. On the first day of listing, a portion of the Ordinary Shares will be made available for trading at an indicative price of USD 3.20 per share.
Sree Agro has no major trading history since it was incorporated in March 2021. It rather leverages on the track record of the revenue earning business of its sole subsidiary, Sree PLC, which has been in operations for over 8 years in Zambia. Sree Agro mainly acts as the holding company of Sree PLC and is also partially involved in the trading and distribution activities of a wide range of soft commodities. The listing on the SEM is expected to increase the visibility of Sree Agro and also provide the company with access to a wider network of investors.
