The exclusion of two companies from ASM may provide relief to shareholders of JR Foods Ltd and Future Supply Chain Solutions Ltd, potentially improving liquidity and reducing trading restrictions for these securities.

Investor Impact: Positive for investors in the two excluded securities as removal from ASM framework typically indicates improved corporate governance or resolution of insolvency concerns. Investors holding securities in the consolidated list should continue monitoring for potential stage movements.

The consolidated list provides transparency on which securities remain under various stages of IBC surveillance, helping market participants assess risk exposure.
