His Highness Sheikh Saud Bin Saqr Al Qasimi, Crown Prince and Deputy Ruler of Ras Al Khaimah, ordered to return oversubscriptions to subscribers in the shortest time possible, so as to minimize the interest burden of subscribers and to allow the return of capital.

"We have coordinated closely with the Investment and Development Office of the Government of Ras Al Khaimah and have agreed to complete the reimbursement procedure through the receiving banks by sending the checks across through courier or depositing the amount in the subscribers bank accounts if available with the receiving banks.

"In line with directives of His Highness Sheikh Saud Bin Saqr Al Qasimi, Crown Prince and Deputy Ruler of Ras Al Khaimah there are two subscription categories, 34.09 per cent of subscriptions in Category A shares were allotted to investors applying for amounts between AED20,000-AED100,000, while 1.47 per cent of subscriptions for the remaining 900 million Category B, for amounts of AED101,000 or above." said Izzat Dajani, Chief Executive of the Government of Ras Al Khaimah's Investment and Development Office.
