AlBaha Investment and Development Co.’s claim against its former chairman and board members was rejected today by a Jeddah court, the company said in a bourse filing.
AlBaha will appeal against the ruling, and relevant developments will be revealed in due course.
The company had accused its former board chairman and members of a fraudulent purchase of overpriced assets from a local contracting firm, seeking compensation of SAR 100 million – the difference between fair value and market price.
In March last year, the Jeddah Administrative Court ordered AlBaha’s former chairman and board directors to pay a total of SAR 68.7 million, plus attorney fees.
However, the company later said the court of appeals had overturned the previous ruling against the chairman and board members.
