Saudi Arabia's Arabian Contracting Services Co. will fully acquire Faden Media, an outdoor advertising company, for 1.05 billion Saudi riyals ($280 million) as part of its expansion strategy.
Faden Media, which is owned by Prince Abdulaziz Al Saud, has a capital of SAR 25 million and posted a net income of SAR11.1 million in Q1-2022, Arabian Contracting said in a regulatory disclosure on Wednesday on Tadawul where its shares trade.
Arabian Contracting will pay 70% of the transaction value upon completion of the agreement and the remaining 30% will be paid on March 31, 2023.
The deal, which requires various regulatory approvals, will be financed by bank loans in addition to the company's own resources.
