Access Holdings Plc has obtained board approval for its audited interim financial statements for the half-year ending June 30, 2026, pending approval from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). The Company Secretary, Sunday Ekwochi, announced the decision in a statement on the Nigerian Exchange Limited (NGX) platform. The financial statements were approved at the board meeting held on August 27, 2026, and are set to undergo the necessary regulatory procedures, including CBN approval.

Once the CBN gives its nod, Access Holdings intends to publish the audited financial statements via the NGX and make them accessible to shareholders, investors, and other stakeholders through their established communication channels. This move underscores the company's dedication to robust governance, adherence to regulations, and open communication with its stakeholders as it endeavors to construct a more interconnected and robust financial services group catering to Africa and its global markets.

In line with NGX Issuers' Rules, Access Holdings will remain in a closed period for 24 hours following the public release of the audited financial statements. During this period, directors, insiders, and their associated individuals are barred from trading in the company's securities, either directly or indirectly. The company's stock price experienced a 9.3% increase or N2.50 per share during the previous trading session, closing at N29.50 per share, up from the opening price of N27.00 per share.
