The capital top-up will be funded by transferring SAR 250 million from retained earnings. Thus, the number of the company's shares will increase by 25 million to 100 million.

 

The CMA added that the company's extraordinary general assembly meeting (EGM) should be held within six months from this approval date, provided that Aldrees shall satisfy all regulatory requirements and applicable laws.
