STATEMENT UNDER SECTION 134(3) OF THE COMPANIES ACT 2017

This statement sets out the material facts concerning the Special Business to be transacted at the Extraordinary General Meeting ("EOGM") of Pakistan Cables Limited (the "Company") to be held on June 22, 2023.

AGENDA ITEM 2 - Increase in Authorized Capital to be passed as a Special Resolution

In order to cater for an increase in the paid-up share capital, the Board of Directors recommend increasing the Authorized Share Capital of the Company from Rs. 500,000,000 (Five Hundred Million) to Rs. 3,000,000,000 (three billion) and making the necessary amendments in Clause 5 of the Memorandum of Association of the Company resulting from this increase. For this purpose, a special resolution is required to be considered and approved in this meeting.

A copy of the Memorandum of Association has been kept at the registered office of the Company and may be inspected during business hours on any working day from the date of publication of this notice till the conclusion of the general meeting.

The Directors are not interested, directly or indirectly, in the above special businesses, other than as Directors and shareholders of the Company.

AGENDA ITEM 3 - To amend Article 125 of the Articles of Association of the Company.

The existing provision of Article 125 requires members' approval in a general meeting for the capitalization of reserves. The existing provision that necessitates members' approval in a general meeting for capitalizing reserves should be revised. Currently, obtaining approval from members for capitalizing reserves is a time-consuming and costly process. To address this, it is proposed to amend Article 125 of the Company's Articles of Association. The suggested modification would authorize the Board of Directors to make decisions regarding the capitalization of reserves.

A copy of the Memorandum and Articles of Association has been kept at the registered office of the Company and may be inspected during business hours on any working day from the date of publication of this notice till the conclusion of the general meeting.

The Directors are not interested, directly or indirectly, in the above special businesses, other than as Directors and shareholders of the Company.
