Al Sorayai recommends 40% capital cut to offset losses

09/11/2017 Argaam

 

Al Sorayai Trading and Industrial Group Co.’s board of directors has recommended a 40 percent capital reduction to SAR 225 million form SAR 375 million, to offset accumulated losses, the company said in a statement on Tadawul.

 

The capital cut is conditional upon obtaining regulatory approvals including the company’s general assembly.

 

Shareholders’ ownership ratios will remain unchanged after the capital cut, Al Sorayai added.

 

Earlier this year, the Saudi market regulator, the Capital Market Authority (CMA), said Tadawul-listed companies that have accumulated losses exceeding 50 percent of their capital will be forced into liquidation under a new corporate law, unless they fix their finances.
