The share capital of the company has been set at Dh524.8 million divided into Dh2.1 billion shares, having a nominal value of Dh0.25 each, fully paid as cash shares. .Ahmed Al Shamsi, Chairman of E7 Group, said, “I’m proud to reach another important milestone in E7’s journey as a listed company, welcoming our shareholders to our first AGM since our listing on ADX in 2023. Through the share split approved today by E7’s shareholders, we’re enhancing the ability of investors to participate in E7’s robust growth story by reducing the price of each E7 share.."The share split also indirectly encourages improved liquidity by increasing the number of E7 shares on issue, which will allow trading in smaller value increments - something we know is of value to our growing retail investor base. The Board and Management believe E7’s multi-segment, cross-market growth strategy presents significant long-term opportunity, and we’ll continue to take decisions that are beneficial for our shareholders and E7.” .E7 expects the share split to be completed in the second quarter of 2024, subject to regulatory processes.
