Great Harvest Maeta CEO Faces Forced Share Sale During Blackout Period

An update from Great Harvest Maeta Holdings Limited ( (HK:3683) ) is now available.

Great Harvest Maeta Holdings Limited has disclosed that 900,000 of its shares, representing about 0.09% of its issued share capital and beneficially owned through Ablaze Rich Investments Limited, were sold on 18 May 2026 in a forced market disposal after a margin call was not met. The shares were linked to chief executive officer Ms. Lam Kwan, who owns 49% of Ablaze Rich, and the board has classified the sale as arising from exceptional circumstances under the stock exchange’s code, while cautioning shareholders and potential investors when dealing in the company’s shares during the ongoing blackout period.

The transaction occurred during a blackout period ahead of the company’s planned publication of annual results for the year ended 31 March 2026, when directors are generally prohibited from dealing in company securities. The board emphasized its duty to ensure that insiders do not trade when restricted but determined that the margin call-triggered disposal met the criteria for an exception under the listing rules, signalling heightened governance scrutiny and potential sensitivity among investors to insider-related share movements.
