The group's ownership in Uber stemmed from Uber's acquisition of Careem, one of the group’s portfolio companies at that time. The agreement stipulated that the acquisition value should be divided into cash and convertible notes in Uber within specified periods after meeting certain terms and conditions as defined in the agreement between both parties.

 

The divestment aligns with Seera’s strategy, as announced on Nov. 8, 2023, which aims to achieve long-term and sustainable returns for shareholders and maximized value of investments in the short and long terms.

 

In April 2019, Seera said that its affiliate, Careem agreed with Uber Technologies to acquire Careem’s assets for $3.1 billion, Argaam earlier reported.
