The Guyana
Association of Securities Companies and Intermediaries Inc. (GASCI) is pleased
to welcome the Trinidad Cement Limited (TCL) of Trinidad and Tobago as its first listed company on the Guyana Stock Exchange’s Official
List. Pursuant to its application for listing, accompanied by the relevant

shares became eligible for trading on the Guyana Stock Exchange at its first
trading session for 2007 on January 3.
The Trinidad
Cement Limited is also listed officially on the Trinidad and Tobago Stock Exchange, the Barbados Stock Exchange, the Jamaica Stock Exchange
and the Eastern Caribbean Securities Exchange.
TCL was
incorporated in 1951 in Trinidad. TCL produces and bags cement for sale primarily to
Caribbean countries, including non-Caricom
territories. TCL has subsidiaries in Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, Barbados,
Anguilla, Nevis, St. Maarten and Guyana. Its subsidiary in Guyana is TCL Guyana

presence in the stock market as well as their role in the supply of cement for
construction in Guyana.
