Saudi Arabian Amiantit Co.’s shareholders are set to vote on a 70.2 percent capital cut to SAR 344.52 million from SAR 1.155 billion during the extraordinary general assembly meeting that will be held on Sept. 8, 2019, the company said in a statement on Tadawul.

 

The capital cut is intended to offset accumulated losses.

 

There is no significant impact of the capital reduction on the company's liabilities or operations, the statement added.

Last week, the Capital Market Authority (CMA) approved the request of Saudi Arabian Amiantit Co. to reduce capital.
