Dice will hire an advisor to prepare a fair value report after its shares shed more than half their value since late February, triggering a regulation that grants the Financial Regulatory Authority the right to order a valuation through an independent financial advisor, the regulator said in a filing (pdf). The clothing manufacturer’s shares closed yesterday’s session at EGP 1.52 apiece after losing 12.47% in intra-day trading, representing a 55% decrease from EGP 3.37 on 22 February. Dice rotated out of the benchmark EGX30 earlier this year due to the sustained loss of market cap in the index’s latest rebalancing under new inclusion criteria.
