The management of Fatimafert had been in the process of amalgamating the entity into its parent company, i.e., Fatima Fertilizer Co. Ltd. The process came to culmination. Fatimafert, being a wholly owned subsidiary of Fatima Fertilizer Company Limited has been completely merged into its parent company, therefore ceases to operate as a separate legal entity and stands dissolved.
Consequently, PACRA withdraws the Entity Ratings of Fatimafert Limited with immediate effect.
