The Founders Committee of AMLAK explained: "Having raised the desired equity of AED412.5 million through its maiden IPO, the company will now return the extra-share allotment money to investors, starting February 21, 2004. Cheques will be issued to all investors and sent by mail to the addresses written on the subscription applications. Due to the overwhelming response and a slight adjustment in the share allotment ratio based on the final report from the subscription banks, the company will issue 2.99 per cent shares to all investors."
The Founders Committee also added that AMLAK would be listed on the Dubai Financial Market (DFM) after the Annual General Meeting that is scheduled for March. A total number of 17,241 investors subscribed to the IPO with 64 per cent of the subscribers being UAE nationals, 31 per cent being GCC nationals and 5 per cent being expatriates resident in the UAE.
AMLAK Finance will send a notification to subscribers informing them about their individual share allotment. The Receiving Banks will return the excess monies to subscribers and the notification and refund process will be completed.
