He said, "The total number of issued shares of LPCL is 1.45bn. VHMEL intends to buy 1.10bn shares, constituting 75.86% of the total." Rodgers added that if VHMEL proceeds to buy the shares, it would make a public announcement of offer to acquire further ordinary shares of LPCL in accordance with the requirements of the Listed Companies (Substantial Acquisition of Voting shares and Takeovers) Ordinance 2002.

DG Khan Cement Company Limited (DGKC) also disclosed its interest in Lafarge. The company expressed its intention to acquire the 100% stake of Lafarge in LPCL. DGKC's company secretary, Khalid Mahmood Chohan, said, "The proposed transaction will be subject to the relevant approvals and legal formalities, including formalities under the Listed Companies (Substantial Acquisition of Voting shares and Takeovers) Ordinance 2002."
