The Saudi Investment Bank (SAIB) has received regulatory approval from the Capital Market Authority (CMA) for its proposed capital hike, marking a significant milestone for the institution. Under the approved plan, SAIB will issue one bonus share for every four owned shares, reflecting its commitment to strengthening its financial position.
To implement the capital increase, SAIB will transfer SAR 2.50 billion from its statutory reserve account, resulting in a new capitalization of SAR 12.50 billion distributed over 2.50 billion shares. This marks a notable increase from its previous capital of SAR 10 billion, supported by 1 billion shares.
The decision to recommend a 25% capital raise was made by SAIB’s board in February, emphasizing the bank’s strategic approach to bolstering its resilience and competitiveness in the market.
SAIB’s financial performance in 2023 underscores its growth trajectory, with net profits climbing by 16.82% to SAR 1.76 billion compared to SAR 1.50 billion in 2022. This solid performance highlights SAIB’s ability to navigate market dynamics effectively.
As SAIB moves forward with its capital hike and bonus share issuance, stakeholders are optimistic about the bank’s prospects for sustained growth and value creation. The approval from CMA signifies a vote of confidence in SAIB’s strategic direction and underscores its commitment to enhancing shareholder value.
Observers will be closely monitoring SAIB’s progress as it implements its capital enhancement plan and evaluates its impact on market performance and investor sentiment.
SAIB remains focused on its mission to deliver value to shareholders while continuing to innovate and adapt to evolving market conditions.
