The Board of Directors has also authorized the executive management of the bank to undertake the legal requirements and procedures needed to have the final approval from the related government entities and Bahrain Stock Exchange.
On this subject, H.E. Mr. Mohammed Alabbar, Chairman of the Board of Directors of AlSalam Bank - Bahrain, commented that the board of Directors has agreed on the recommendation of splitting the share price to give the benefit to the shareholders and to make it similar to the par value of shares of the most banking institutions listed in Bahrain Stock Exchange.
Mr. Alabbar added that such splitting in the share price will also help the investors and the shareholders to benchmark the price and performance of the bank's shares with the prices of the shares of other banking institutions listed in Bahrain Stock Exchange which will ultimately help the investors to make the right investments decisions.
