\"News<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In a major corporate development, JS Bank Limited has substantially increased its footprint in TRG Pakistan Limited (TRGP), acquiring a 14.92% stake through the enforcement of security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The transaction was formally communicated to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) by Jahangir Siddiqui & Co. Ltd., the parent company of JS Bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transaction Details<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the official regulatory disclosure<\/a>, JS Bank acquired 81,358,289 shares of TRG Pakistan on May 21, 2026. The shares were picked up at a rate of Rs62.92 per share, making the transaction value approximately Rs5.12 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The acquisition was carried out via an “enforcement of security,” meaning the shares were likely held as collateral against a financing facility that was subsequently executed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because the acquisition occurred through the enforcement of security, the bank stated that the transaction does not trigger the mandatory tender offer requirements under Part IX of the Securities Act, 2015, as it qualifies as an exempted transaction under Section 109(1)(c) of the Act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consolidating Power:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Before this enforcement action, JS Bank and its designated “persons acting in concert” (PACs) held a collective 14.41% stake (78,622,164 shares) in TRG Pakistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following this recent acquisition, the JS group’s combined shareholding has nearly doubled to 29.33%, representing 159,980,453 voting shares. This places the JS group in a highly influential position regarding TRG Pakistan’s future strategic direction and voting power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Group Breakdown: Who Holds What?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 As part of the Schedule-II disclosure filed by JS Bank\u2019s Company Secretary and Head of Legal, Syed Muhammad Talib Raza, the exact breakdown of the group\u2019s 159.98 million share portfolio in TRG Pakistan is as follows: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Entity \/ Person Acting in Concert<\/td>Number of Shares Held<\/td><\/tr>
JS Bank Limited<\/td>105,942,049 <\/td><\/tr>
Jahangir Siddiqui & Co. Ltd.<\/td>26,949,561 <\/td><\/tr>
JS Infocom Limited<\/td>20,077,842 <\/td><\/tr>
Energy Infrastructure Holding (Pvt) Limited<\/td>3,500,000 <\/td><\/tr>

Total Shareholding<\/td>159,980,453 (29.33%) <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This aggressive consolidation via collateral enforcement signals a tightening grip by the JS Group over TRG Pakistan, a prominent player in the technology and business process outsourcing sectors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
