Riyadh – The board members of Sumou Real Estate Company proposed a capital hike by transferring an amount of SAR 125 million from the retained earnings account.

Under the board’s recommendation, which was decided on 21 March 2024, the Saudi firm will grant one bonus share for every three shares, according to a bourse filing.

The new capital will stand at SAR 500 million distributed over 50 million shares, compared to SAR 375 million and 37.50 million shares, prior to the raise transaction.
