Qatar-led group takes control of Dubai jeweler Damas | Agricultural Commodities | Reuters

Qatar's Mannai Corp and Egyptian investment bank EFG Hermes have taken control of Dubai's Damas after their consortium's $445 million offer was accepted by more than 75 percent of the jeweler's shareholders.

The bidders have received acceptances representing 78.37 percent of Damas's share capital for their $0.45 per share offer, according to a statement on the Nasdaq Dubai bourse on Thursday.

"This effectively means the consortium has now acquired control," the statement said.
