Alinma Bank will vote on the board’s proposal to increase capital by 25% to SAR 25 billion, during the extraordinary general meeting (EGM) slated for April 23, the company said in a statement to Tadawul.

 

The capital will be increased from SAR 20 billion through capitalization of the retained earnings by issuing one share for every four shares held.
