Middle East Paper Co. (MEPCO) said that the Public Investment Fund (PIF) will start subscription to MEPCO’s newly issued shares from Jan. 1-3, 2024, according to a statement to Tadawul.  

 

The financial advisor, in consultation with the company, can extend the offering period, MEPCO added in a statement to Tadawul.  

 

Earlier this month, the paper manufacturer issued its prospectus for offering new shares worth about SAR 630 million while suspending a rights issue, Argaam reported.

 

In August, MEPCO signed a binding subscription agreement with the Kingdom’s sovereign wealth fund to buy nearly 20 million new ordinary shares of the company.
