The Capital Market Authority (CMA) approved the application received from Al Hassan Ghazi Ibrahim Shaker Co. (Shaker Group) to increase its capital by 15% from SAR 482.3 million to SAR 555 million, , the market regulator said in a statement today, Feb. 12.

 

The capital hike will be through the issuance of one bonus share for every 6.63 shares held by shareholders registered with the Securities Depository Center (Edaa) by the close of the second trading day after the record date, to be determined later by Shaker's board.

 

The capital top-up will be funded by transferring SAR 72.7 million from the company’s statutory reserve. Thus, the company's shares will increase by 7.3 million from 48.2 million to 55.5 million.

 

The extraordinary general assembly will be held within six months from this approval date and the company will satisfy all regulatory requirements and applicable laws, the CMA added.

 

The company's board of directors recommended, on Dec. 13, increasing capital by 15% through a 1-for-6.5 bonus share distribution, according to Argaam's data.
