STATEMENT OF MATERIAL FACTS PURSUANT TO SECTION 134(3) OF THE COMPANIES ACT, 2017

This statement sets out the material facts concerning special business to be transacted at the Extraordinary General Meeting (EOGM) of the Company to be held on August 07, 2025.

Sub-division of the Face Value of Shares of Kohat Cement Company Limited

The Board of Directors of Kohat Cement Company Limited (the Company) in its meeting held on July 10, 2025, aiming to enhance the market liquidity of the Company's share, improve investor accessibility and to broaden the shareholders base, has proposed the sub-division of the Company's shares, in accordance with the provisions of Section 85(1)(c) and all other applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2017 (the Act). The Board has recommended that the face value of each ordinary share of the Company be sub-divided from Rs.10/- to Rs. 2/- thereby increasing the number of shares accordingly without altering the total amount of authorized and paid-up capital of the Company.

Following the proposed sub-division, the subscribed and paid-up capital of the Company, currently comprising 183,861,297 ordinary shares of Rs.10/- each, will be sub-divided into 919,306,485 ordinary shares of Rs.2/- each. The Board will announce the book closure date, after the shareholders' approval of the proposed special resolutions. The entitled shareholders will receive five (5) ordinary shares of Rs.2/- each for every one (1) ordinary share of Rs.10/- held on the entitlement date, in physical form or by crediting in their respective accounts with CDC as the case may be, upon completion of the necessary regulatory procedures and formalities.

The new shares, when issued, shall carry same voting rights, privileges and entitlements and shall rank pari passu with the existing ordinary shares in all respect/matters in conformity with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2017.

The proposed sub-division also necessitates amendments to Clause V of the Memorandum of Association (MoA) of the Company whereas Article 38 of the Articles of Association of the Company authorized the sub-division of shares, therefore, the Board has also recommended alternation in MoA, to reflect the revised number and face value of the shares in the authorized capital.

The comparative analysis of existing Clause V of MoA with the proposed new clause is as under:
