ZCCM Investments Holdings Plc (ZCC), Zambia's sovereign-anchored investment holding company, has announced a revision to the salient dates and times connected with its proposed Odd Lot Offer transaction. The company confirmed that its circular, originally expected to be distributed on 23 October 2026, was instead distributed on 30 October 2026, following additional time required to finalise the document and its supporting materials. As a result, certain key dates referenced within the circular have been updated accordingly, while all other previously published dates remain unchanged.

Key Points

  • ZCCM Investments Holdings Plc (ZCC) — triple-listed on the Lusaka Securities Exchange, London Stock Exchange, and Euronext Access Paris
  • The circular relating to the proposed Odd Lot Offer was distributed on 30 October 2026, seven days later than the originally scheduled date of 23 October 2026
  • All other salient dates and times in the circular remain unchanged; references to circular inspection availability should now be read as 30 October 2026
  • Investors should monitor further announcements via SENS and the RIS for confirmation of the General Meeting date and final transaction timeline

Odd Lot Offer Circular Distributed Seven Days Behind Original Schedule

ZCCM-IH confirmed in its 4 November 2026 announcement that the circular — which also contained the Notice of General Meeting — was ultimately distributed on Friday, 30 October 2026, rather than the previously communicated date of Friday, 23 October 2026. The company stated that additional time was required to finalise the circular and its supporting documentation, which prompted the revised timeline. The announcement was classified as inside information under the UK's retained version of the Market Abuse Regulation and was disclosed via a Regulatory Information Service to bring it into the public domain.

What the Revised Dates Mean for ZCCM-IH Shareholders

The practical effect of the delay is limited in scope. Only the circular distribution date and the associated SENS and RIS announcement date have changed, both moving from 23 October 2026 to 30 October 2026. All other dates within the circular remain as originally published. Shareholders are specifically advised that any references within the circular to the availability of the document for inspection should now be read as referring to 30 October 2026, the actual date of distribution. The company's advisers include Stockbrokers Zambia Limited as LuSE Advisor and Sponsoring Broker, and Bowsprit Partners Limited as UK Financial Adviser and Corporate Broker.

ZCCM-IH's Role as Zambia's Sovereign-Anchored Copper and Energy Investment Holding Company

ZCCM Investments Holdings Plc operates as Zambia's sovereign-anchored investment holding company, maintaining strategic equity stakes in the country's largest copper producers and energy companies. The company generates returns through cash-generative royalties and dividends derived from these holdings. Its triple listing across Lusaka, London, and Paris reflects its significance to both domestic and international investors seeking exposure to Zambia's copper sector. The Odd Lot Offer transaction, first announced via SENS on 4 September 2026, remains ongoing, with shareholders directed to the circular for full terms and conditions.
