The Capital Market Authority has issued its resolution approving the Riyad Capital Company's request to increase "Riyad REIT" capital from SR 500,000,000 to SR 1,633,000,000 for acquiring real estate assets.
Such approval was granted upon the Riyad Capital Company's request complained with the relevant disclosure requirements as per the Real Estate Investment Funds Regulations and Real Estate Investment Traded Funds Instructions.
Prior to meeting of unitholders that will be held to vote on the capital increase, the Riyad Capital Company will publish the terms and conditions of "Riyad REIT" to unitholders including the objectives and rationale of the capital increase. The Terms and Conditions of "Riyad REIT" must include all relevant information the unitholders need to know before making a voting decision on the capital increase for the said purpose, including information on the acquisition transaction and risk factors.
A voting decision without reading the terms and conditions of "Riyad REIT" carefully or fully reviewing its content may involve high risk.
