The Saudi Arabia Capital Markets Authority approved Tabuk Agricultural Development Company’s request to reduce its capital from SAR 391,767,000 to SAR 184,356,390, cutting the number of shares from 39,176,700 to 18,435,639. The approval is conditional on the company obtaining extraordinary general assembly approval and completing required procedures under applicable regulations. The company is expected to publish a disclosure document for shareholders explaining the proposed method of capital reduction and its anticipated effects, sufficiently in advance of the extraordinary general assembly meeting to allow shareholders to vote. The authority noted that its approval should not be interpreted as an endorsement of the feasibility of the capital reduction and reflects only that the requirements of the Capital Market Law and its Implementing Regulations have been met.
