United Electronics Company (eXtra), one of Saudi Arabia’s leading electronics retailers, recommended in its board meeting held on Sunday a 20 percent capital raise from SAR 300 million to SAR 360 million through the issuance of bonus shares.
The company also said it would refrain from issuing a cash dividend for fourth quarter 2014 in order to finance its “strategic” expansion plans, according to its statement to Tadawul, Saudi Arabia’s bourse.
The retailer, however, had issued a 30 percent dividend for the first nine months of 2014.
