Saudi Reinsurance Co. (Saudi Re) released the prospectus for its capital increase, with the suspension of preemptive rights.

 

The Public Investment Fund (PIF) will fully subscribe to the new shares, acquiring a 23.08% stake in the company’s capital post-increase.

 

The board sees the capital increase as a way to support local growth opportunities, strengthen the capital base and solvency, and maintain the credit rating.

 

The extraordinary general meeting (EGM) is set for Dec. 24 to vote on the issuance of 26.73 million new ordinary shares with suspended preemptive rights.

 

The Capital Market Authority (CMA) approved in November the request received from Saudi Re to increase capital through a rights issue, as per Argaam's data.
