Meysan is delighted to announce its role as legal counsel in the successful completion of Arabi Holding Group Company K.S.C. (“Arabi”) capital increase of KWD 36,322,070.820 through a rights issue. The offering of 172,962,242 ordinary shares at an offer price of 210 Kuwaiti Fils per share to existing shareholders raised Arabi’s capital to KWD 51,888,672.60.
