According to these rules KASE suspends trades in shares of any denomination, included to KASE official list first category, in case of price reduction of shares of this denomination by 30 and more percent against the price of the last executed deal in shares of this denomination, which was made during the last preceding effective trading session. Unless otherwise specified by an authorized body decision, suspended trades shall be recommenced with the beginning of the new trading day on shares. As previously announced, KASE Committee on Indices and Securities Valuation excluded parameters of the deal at KZT1,450.00 from calculation of KASE Index values for July 17, 2014 due to significant deviation of the deal price from the market level and non-representative volume.
