Latham Advises Underwriters on Savola Group’s SAR6 Billion Rights Issue
Latham & Watkins has advised Riyad Capital and ANB Capital on Savola Group’s SAR6 billion rights issue on the Saudi Exchange. The offering of 600 million ordinary shares at an offer price of SAR10 per share raised the company’s capital to SAR11.339 billion.
Following the rights issue, Savola Group will proceed with the distribution of its entire 34.52% shareholding in Almarai, the Middle East’s leading food and beverage company, to eligible Savola shareholders. The rights issue will allow Savola to strengthen its financial position and continue to invest in the growth of its portfolio.
The Latham team was led by Riyadh corporate partner Salman Al-Sudairi, with associates Najla Al-Gadi and Hatem Abdulghaffar.
