Without prejudice to the provisions of Article (21) of the Capital Market Law and the disclosure rules that must be complied with pursuant to the aforementioned Law and its Executive Regulations, as well as what is stipulated in these Rules, a company whose shares are listed on the Exchange shall be required to study the fair value of the company's shares in the event of a unidirectional price change exceeding 50% within a period not exceeding three months, or exceeding 75% within a period not exceeding six months, provided such change is inconsistent with the direction of market or sector indices to which the issuing company belongs and/or the issuing company's business results, and considering the extent to which fundamental news justifies such change.
