Damac founder delays share acquisition for SCA review | ZAWYA MENA Edition

Damac Properties founder Hussain Sajwani’s offer to acquire shares and take the firm private has been delayed after UAE’s securities regulator, Securities & Commodities Authority (SCA), has started a review of the transaction.

The UAE’s stock market regulator is to review the prospective acquisition, which would see Maple Invest Co, owned by Sajwani, owning no less than 90 percent and up to 100 percent of Damac’s shares, the company notified Dubai Financial Markets.

Sajwani’s offer to buy Damac Properties, which he founded in 2002,was disclosed to DFM earlier this month.

Damac Properties reported a net loss of $52 million for the first quarter of 2021.
