August 29, 2025 (MLN): Pace (Pakistan) Limited (PSX: PACE) is planning to convert over Rs1.08 billion in outstanding Term Finance Certificates (TFCs) into equity, according to a material notice submitted to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX).

The company’s Board of Directors approved the conversion of liabilities, comprising principal and markup, into 120.27 million ordinary shares at Rs9 per share, representing a 10% discount to par value.

Company Secretary Sajjad Ahmad confirmed that the CEO or any director has been authorized to finalize negotiations with TFC holders and complete all legal formalities, including convening an extraordinary general meeting.
