Zuma Resources Limited has announced a series of strategic initiatives aimed at enhancing shareholder value, strengthening corporate governance, and expanding into the rapidly growing digital entertainment sector.
In a material information disclosure submitted to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) on June 24, 2026, the company’s Board of Directors approved a proposed 5-for-1 share split, a new remuneration framework for senior leadership, and the incorporation of a wholly-owned gaming subsidiary.
5-for-1 Share Split Proposed
The Board has recommended the sub-division of the company’s ordinary shares by reducing the face value of each share from Rs. 10 to Rs. 2, resulting in a split ratio of 1:5. Under the proposal, shareholders will receive five ordinary shares of Rs. 2 each for every one ordinary share of Rs. 10 held on the effective date.
While the share count will increase significantly from 14.1 million shares to 70.5 million shares, the company’s issued, subscribed, and paid-up capital will remain unchanged at Rs. 141 million. The proposal is subject to shareholder approval and the necessary amendments to the company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association.
New Remuneration Framework Approved
The Board also approved a remuneration and compensation framework applicable to the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, Directors, and Senior Management Personnel.
According to the company, the framework is designed to attract and retain qualified leadership talent, align management incentives with shareholder interests, strengthen corporate governance practices, and support long-term strategic growth. The Board has authorized the relevant committees and management to implement the policy in compliance with applicable laws and governance requirements.
Entry into Gaming and Digital Entertainment
In a significant diversification move, Zuma Resources approved the incorporation of a wholly-owned subsidiary, proposed to be named “Zuma Interactive Studio (Private) Limited,” subject to approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP).
The subsidiary will focus on mobile game publishing and distribution, digital game development and commercialization, game marketing and monetization services, intellectual property ownership and licensing, esports and digital media ventures, and artificial intelligence-powered gaming solutions. The company will retain 100% ownership of the subsidiary’s issued share capital.
The Board noted that the global gaming industry remains one of the fastest-growing sectors of the digital economy and offers substantial opportunities for long-term value creation. Through the establishment of the new subsidiary, Zuma Resources aims to capitalize on opportunities in international mobile gaming and digital publishing markets.
The company stated that further details regarding any required Extraordinary General Meeting (EOGM) and subsequent developments will be communicated to the market in due course.
