MESC approves liquidation of Jordan subsidiary

11/10/2017 Argaam

Middle East Specialized Cables Co. (MESC) approved on Wednesday voluntary liquidation of its 57.5 percent-owned subsidiary in Jordan, MESC for Medium and High Voltage Cables.

 

Accordingly, a liquidator was appointed after obtaining regulatory and shareholder approval in Jordan, the company said in a statement to Tadawul.

 

Non-consolidating the Jordanian unit’s financial statements will reflect positively on Riyadh-based MESC’s earnings, allowing it to wipe out accumulated losses from the subsidiary, which stood at SAR 15.4 million in 2015 and SAR 12.5 million in 2016.

 

Meanwhile, the Jordan-based cable producer owes SAR 17 million in liabilities to the Saudi-listed company.

 

These dues, however, are subject to default risks, the statement added.
