14/01/2020 Argaam

 

United Wire Factories Co.’s (Aslak) board of directors recommended a 20% capital cut to SAR 351 million from SAR 438.75 million due to a capital surplus, the company said in a statement on Tadawul.

 

The process will take place through writing off 20% of the shares and compensating shareholders in return.

 

The capital cut will be financed from the company’s cash surplus.

 

The step is expected to have a positive impact on the company through improving performance indices, the statement said.

 

The capital cut is pending approval from the general assembly and regulator.
