Sadirat cancels FAAD Industrial Fund offering

The offering was, therefore, cancelled in accordance with the regulatory provisions set out in the investment funds regulations, the company said in a statement to Tadawul.

The subscription amount transferred by Sadirat remains available in its investment account with the fund manager, the statement added.

A valid board meeting cannot be held, since the company’s board does not meet the minimum number of members required under the Companies Law or the company’s bylaws. Hence, any actions related to handling the subscription amount or making investment decisions will be deferred to the new board, once formed, to decide whether to proceed with the investment or consider other options.

Any developments in this matter will be announced as soon as they become available, the statement said.
