The Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE), has sanctioned some banks along other listed companies on the exchange for failing to meet the deadline for the submission of their audited report and accounts for last year.<\/p>\n

The list of the affected listed companies indicated that FBN Holdings Plc \u2013 the holding company for First Bank of Nigeria and its former subsidiaries \u2013 will pay \u20a62.1 million fine for the duration of its delay, Fidelity Bank Plc, which just released its results last week, \u20a62.7 million. Sterling was also slammed with a fine of \u20a61.3 million for the delay of its 2017 audited financial statements.<\/p>\n

Wema Bank and\u00a0First City Monument Bank Holdings (FCMB Holdings) were equally fined \u20a6800,000 and \u20a6100,000 respectively for flouting the post listing rule of the market.<\/p>\n

Sovereign Trust Insurance Plc, \u20a62.1 million, while Meyer Plc \u20a62.1 million.<\/p>\n

The Exchange also imposed a sanction on Presco, which was fined pay \u20a61 million fine for failing to submit its audited report within the deadline and another \u20a6300,000 for failing to submit its first quarter results for 2018.<\/p>\n

The Nation newspaper had earlier reported\u00a0that the Exchange sanctioned seven companies and reserved the penalty of 32 others, which sanctions were undergoing administrative review to determine what they will pay.<\/p>\n

The sanctioned companies included Vitafoam Nigeria, N800, 000; Academy Press, \u20a63.5 million; International Breweries; Abbey Mortgage Bank, \u20a6700,000.<\/p>\n

Post-listing rules at the NSE require quoted companies to submit their audited earnings reports, not later than three months or 90 calendar days after the expiration of the period. The deadline for submission of annual report for companies with Gregorian calendar business year ended December 31, 2017 was March 31.<\/p>\n

Under the rules at the Exchange, late submission under the first instance of 90 days could attract \u20a69 million, the additional period of 90 days will attract \u20a618 million while such delay beyond the first 180 days to the next 180 days could attract as much as \u20a672 million, bringing fines payable by a defaulting company within a year to \u20a699 million.<\/p>\n

A late submission attracts a fine of N100, 000 per day for the first 90 calendar days of non-compliance, another \u20a6200,000 per day for the next 90 calendar days and a fine of \u20a6400,000 per day thereafter until the date of submission.<\/p>
