Etisalat total share in the company has been reduced to 26.25% from 35%.

The Saudi Stock Market Authority's regulation, which is part of the initial foundation plan of Mobily, states that the founding members of Mobily should reduce their total shares in the company by 20%, which counts for a total of 100 million shares, within the first three years after foundation. Each of the founding members has therefore reduced their stake by 20% to meet the requirements.

Mobily announced earlier that the value of the transaction reached SR5.5bn, resulting in the founder shareholders benefiting by a total of SR4.5bn to be shared between them.

The Founders total shareholding in the company is now reduced to a total of 60% of the total capital with the public holding the balance increased to 40%.
