Salik has also received approval from the Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA) to allocate the increase of the Offer Size to the respective tranches as follows: the First and Third Tranches (in aggregate) will increase from 120,000,000 to 145,725,000 ordinary shares (or c.7.8% of the Offer Size), whilst the Second Tranche (for qualified investors) will increase from 1,380,000,000 to 1,721,775,000 ordinary shares (or c.92.2% of the Offer Size).
The new offering size was determined by the Selling Shareholder, following Salik’s decision to set the offer price at AED2.00 per ordinary share on 13th September 2022, providing investors with a highly attractive value proposition.
