Dana Gas had previously received the necessary approvals from the UAE Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA). Application has been made for the sukuk to be listed on the London Stock Exchange on the Professional Securities Market.
Commenting on the EGM and appointment of the banks, Mr. Hamid Dhiya Jafar, Executive Chairman of Dana Gas, said,
"This approval by the shareholders is a significant milestone in the continuing development of the Dana Gas business. Investors in the Islamic and international capital markets are demonstrating strong interest to participate in sukuk issues, particularly from cash generative companies such as Dana Gas with assets and a clear business growth strategy in the expanding natural gas sector. The sukuk proceeds will assist the company in strategic expansions and to pursue identified opportunities with the aim of enhancing shareholder value and providing a material positive impact to its shareholders. We have selected leading investment banks with considerable expertise in the international capital markets and the regional sukuk markets to lead in this offering."
