Pakistan's proposed initial public offering (IPO) for SE Fruits and Vegetable Limited, previously Shaheen Enterprises, is under scrutiny by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP). The regulator has requested export records from seven banks and details of foreign remittances, export proceeds, and other foreign exchange transactions from 30 banks.
The investigation stems from concerns over the company's financial information and audit. SE Fruits had planned to raise up to Rs. 1.92 billion via a share offering of 30 million shares at Rs. 40 per share. The SECP suspended the IPO in October, leading to the company's withdrawal of the offering. The investigation continues, examining financial records, banking transactions, and shareholder information provided by the involved parties.
The SECP launched its probe on October 21 under specific sections of the SECP Act and Securities Act. The regulator has received input from the IPO's lead managers and the company's auditor, who requested more time to provide requested information.
