The Capital Market Authority (CMA) approvedAl Rajhi Bank‘s request to increase capital from SAR 40 million to SAR 60 million. 
The planned capital top-up will be carried out through a one-for-two bonus share distribution, to shareholders of record who are registered with the Security Depository Center (Edaa) by the close of trading on the second trading day after the record date that will be determined later.

The deciding extraordinary general assembly should be held within six months from this approval date. Al Rajhi Bank should satisfy all regulatory requirements and applicable laws.
