The Kuwait Capital Markets Authority issued a Disciplinary Board decision imposing a financial penalty of KD 10,000 on Energy House Holding Company for breaching disclosure and transparency requirements relating to a material information announcement on Boursa Kuwait. The case concerns the company’s 16 June 2025 disclosure that it had received an initial non-binding offer to purchase its share in one of its subsidiaries, which the Authority found lacked sufficient information to assess the material impact because it did not identify the subsidiary or its activity, contrary to Article 4-6-3 of Module Ten (Disclosure and Transparency) of the Executive Bylaws of Law No. 7 of 2010. The Authority also found non-compliance with repeated instructions to re-disclose the information with the required specifics, including follow-up by phone and an email request on 17 June 2025, constituting breaches of Article 139 of Law No. 7 of 2010 and Article 4-6-5 of Module Ten.
