Saudi Arabia’s Capital Markets Authority approved Saudi Industrial Development Company’s request to increase its capital through a SAR 165,000,000 rights issue. Subscription will be limited to shareholders registered in the shareholders’ register at the Security Depository Center as of the close of the second trading day after the extraordinary general assembly meeting. The company will determine the extraordinary general assembly meeting date at a later time, and will set the offering price and number of shares after market close on the day the meeting is held. The rights issue prospectus will be made publicly available later, and the CMA cautioned that its approval indicates the relevant legal requirements under the Capital Market Law and its Implementing Regulations have been met, not a recommendation to subscribe, urging investors to read the prospectus and its risk factors or consult an authorized financial adviser if needed.
