Accordingly, one bonus share will be issued for every 10 shares held by shareholders registered with the Securities Depository Center (Edaa) by the close of the second trading day after the record date, to be determined later by the company's board.

 

The capital top-up will be funded by transferring SAR 50 million from retained earnings. Thus, the company's share capital will increase by five million to a total of 55 million.

 

The CMA added that Al Arabia's extraordinary general meeting (EGM) should be held within six months from this approval date, provided the company satisfies all regulatory requirements and requisite procedures.
