The capital increase will be enough to restructure the company and will provide liquidity to help meet customer demands, according to The Saudi Arabian Amiantit Company (Amiantit) CEO Solaiman Al-Twaijri.
“The firm needs funds to increase its operations, and the key reason that affected our operations recently was the lack of enough liquidity to manage operations,” Al-Twaijri told CNBC Arabia.
He also mentioned the firm will focus on regional markets in addition to a local one.
“We have appointed a strategic consultant to draft a three to five-year plan to be presented to the board of directors for approval,” Al-Twaijri said.
The company’s board has recently recommended the capital increase through the issuance of SAR 300 million rights issue.
Below is a table that highlight key development of the firm’s capital increase:
