In 2020, the Share price of G4S Botswana was steady at P3.40 between the AGM date in May 2020 but fell to P3.00 on the 8th of March 2021 following Executive and board changes.  The price persisted at P3.00 even after the 2021 AGM in May until November 26th when it fell slightly to P2.99.  On the 17th of January 2022, the price fell further to P2.70, a price maintained to date.
