**Cyprus Stock Exchange Extends Suspension for Four Firms**
The Cyprus Stock Exchange (CSE) has announced an extension of the trading suspension for four companies listed on its Emerging Companies Market. This decision, made public on Friday, will keep the suspension in effect for an additional two months, lasting until August 24, 2026. The companies affected by this regulatory action are Rianeson Investments Plc, G.A.P. Vassilopoulos Public Ltd, A.J. Green Shell Plc, and K. Kouimtzis S.A.
The extension of the suspension was enacted under Article 185 of the Securities and Cyprus Stock Exchange Law. The CSE determined that the issues leading to the initial suspension of these companies remain unresolved.
Rianeson Investments Plc continues to face suspension due to its failure to submit and publish several financial reports. Specifically, the company has not provided its annual financial report for the year ending December 31, 2024, its half-yearly financial report for the period ending June 30, 2025, and its annual financial report for the year ending December 31, 2025.
Similarly, G.A.P. Vassilopoulos Public Ltd has been suspended for not submitting its half-yearly financial report for the period ending June 30, 2025, as well as its annual financial report for the year ending December 31, 2025.
A.J. Green Shell Plc is under suspension due to its failure to submit its annual consolidated financial report for 2024, its half-yearly report for mid-2025, and its annual report for the year ending December 31, 2025. Additionally, A.J. Green Shell Plc has breached its ongoing obligation to maintain the services of a nominated advisor, which is a requirement for companies listed on the exchange.
K. Kouimtzis S.A. faces similar issues, with the suspension stemming from its failure to maintain the services of a nominated advisor, as well as the non-submission and non-publication of its half-yearly financial report for the period ending June 30, 2025, and its annual financial report for the year ending December 31, 2025.
The CSE has indicated that if any of these companies rectify their outstanding obligations during the suspension period, the trading halt may be lifted earlier than the scheduled date.
In a related development, the CSE council has also ratified the suspension of trading for shares of The Reputation Exchange Plc, a decision initially announced on June 16, 2026. This suspension, which falls under Article 184 of the Cyprus Stock Exchange Law, will remain in effect for two months, concluding on August 17, 2026. The exchange has noted that this suspension could also be lifted sooner if the company meets its requirement to retain the services of a nominated advisor.
The ongoing suspensions highlight the regulatory challenges faced by these companies and the importance of compliance with financial reporting and advisory obligations within the Cyprus Stock Exchange framework.
