For dual-listed companies (foreign companies) on the Dubai Financial Market (DFM), the opening price for...

Special pricing arrangements apply when securities of a foreign company are already traded on another financial market and subsequently become dual-listed on the Dubai Financial Market. According to the CISI UAE Financial Rules and Regulations, the opening price for the security on its first trading day on the DFM is based on its last closing price in the principal market . This gives the DFM a current and objectively observable reference price from the market in which the security has its principal listing and established trading history. The DFM's normal maximum and minimum daily price-margin limits can then be applied according to market procedures from the first trading day. The rules also permit market management to introduce different procedures for foreign shares where circumstances justify doing so. The relevant benchmark is not the last opening price, because that may no longer reflect the most recent trading information. Nor is a price from a secondary market used where the principal-market closing price is available. Therefore, option C is correct.
