The Capital Market Authority (CMA) approved Mulkia Investment Co.'s request to increase its capital from SAR 65 million to SAR 78 million through issuing one bonus share for every five existing shares owned, according to a statement.

 

Subscription eligibility will be to shareholders who are registered with the Securities Depository Center (Edaa) as of the closing of the second trading day after the record date, which will be determined later.

 

The planned capital hike will be funded by capitalizing SAR 13 million from the company’s retained earnings account.
