(MC2) and Fourth Milling Co. (MC4) to strategic investors in the private sector, Argaam earlier reported.

 

MC4 was sold to Al Othaim’s consortium with Allana International Ltd. and United Feed Manufacturing Co. for a total value of SAR 859 million.

 

Al Othaim earlier expected the deal contract to be signed on June 20.
