Emirates Bank and the shareholders represented by Shaikh Sultan Bin Saqr Al Qassimi worked closely together to conclude this transaction. Financing was unique as it involved structuring a debt for an offshore SPV & a simultaneous pay-off to Societe Generale (Paris), and was solely managed by Emirates Bank.

The signing ceremony witnessed exchange of documents between Shaikh Sultan, Societe Generale (the outgoing shareholder) and Emirates Bank.

Al Tamimi acted as legal advisors for the deal.
