Arabian Shield Cooperative Insurance Co.’s board of directors has recommended a 50 percent capital increase from SAR 200 million to SAR 300 million, through the issue of one bonus share for every two held, the company said in a statement on Tadawul.

 

The insurer will capitalize SAR 80 million of retained earnings and SAR 20 million form statutory deposit to finance the capital hike.

The capital hike is pending regulatory approvals, the company added.
