What does the Authority usually do before deciding to delist a company’s shares?

Before deciding to delist a company's shares, the regulatory authority typically follows a procedure designed to ensure that the company has an opportunity to rectify any issues. According to the CISI UAE Financial Rules and Regulations, the Authority usually issues an improvement notice of 30 days to the company. This notice outlines the deficiencies or non-compliance issues that the company needs to address in order to avoid delisting. The 30-day period allows the company time to correct the issues, such as failure to meet financial reporting requirements, governance standards, or other operational obligations. This approach ensures fairness and transparency before taking any drastic actions like delisting.
