The Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) boosted its revenue with N143.6 million fines imposed on listed companies across banks, manufacturing, insurance sectors, among others between January and November of 2019. This is contained in the X-compliance report obtained by Nairametrics from the Stock Exchange.

The report disclosed that while three firms were fined over N8 million for non-disclosure of material information, 15 others were asked to pay N135 million for their failure to file their financial statements by the due date.

Why it matters: Every listed company is required to provide the Exchange with timely information to enable it efficiently perform its function of maintaining an orderly market. In accordance with the provisions of Appendix III: General Undertaking (Equities), Rulebook of The Exchange, 2015 (Issuers’ Rules) and The Exchange’s Circular No. NSE/LARD/LRD/CIR3/17/05/12 on Publication of Announcements or Press Releases via The Issuers’ Portal, listed companies are required to obtain prior written approval from The Exchange before publications that affect shareholders’ interest are made in the media or via the Issuers’ Portal.

In this category, Amino International got the highest fine of N41.1 million as it failed to file its financial statements since 2015.

Meanwhile, some shareholders of the companies, who spoke with our analyst in separate interviews, praised the management of the Stock Exchange for being strict on its compliance exercise as they called for the punishment of erring companies.

National President, Constance Shareholders Association of Nigeria, Shehu Mikail, agreed that the companies should be fined but urged the Exchange to ensure such fines are not deducted from the shareholders’ fund, which to him, would create holes in the investment pockets in the companies.

President, Progressive Shareholders Association of Nigeria, Mr Boniface Okezie, lamented that the incessant penalties on companies were discouraging companies from seeking quotation on the nation’s bourse, thereby affecting the growth and development of the market. He added that the market regulators must pursue friendly policies and initiatives to put the market forward.
