Saudi Arabian Amiantit Co.’s shareholders disapproved the board's recommendation on increasing capital through a SAR 346.5 million rights offering, during the extraordinary general meeting (EGM) held on May 11, the company said in a statement to Tadawul.

 

On the other hand, they approved the other agenda items, including the amendment to the company's bylaws in line with the New Companies Law. Shareholders also discharged board members from liability for 2022. 

 

Last December, the Capital Market Authority (CMA) gave the go-ahead for Amiantit's request to increase its capital through a rights issue worth SAR 346.5 million, according to data available with Argaam
