Mashonaland Holdings Proposes Share Buy-Back Scheme Ahead of AGM

 

Mashonaland Holdings Limited is seeking shareholder approval for a proposed share buy-back scheme as part of resolutions set to be tabled at the company’s 59th Annual General Meeting scheduled for June 18, 2026.

According to the AGM notice, the meeting will be held both virtually and physically at the company’s boardroom in Harare.

“Subject to the provisions of the Companies and Other Business Entities Act [Chapter 24:31], the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange Listing Rules and Article 51 of the Company’s Substituted Articles of Association, the Directors be and are hereby authorised, subject to shareholder approval, to implement a share buy-back scheme under which the Company may purchase its own shares,” reads part of the notice.

The proposed scheme would allow Mashonaland Holdings to repurchase up to 10 percent of its issued ordinary share capital in any financial year.

The company said the buy-back price “may not be made at a price greater than 5% above or 5% below the weighted average of the market price for the ordinary shares for the five business days immediately preceding the date on which the repurchase transaction is effected.”

Mashonaland Holdings further stated that the repurchased shares “may be retained as treasury shares.”
