MUSCAT : The FSA stated that the decision was taken after it was established that the CFO engaged in trading based on undisclosed information, which is a breach of Article 301 of the Executive Regulation of the Capital Market Law No. 1/2009. The Article stipulates that “Insiders shall not deal in the securities of the issuer on the basis of undisclosed material information and shall not facilitate other person’s access to material information before it is disclosed.”
