Overview

What happened Source facts

Takween signed in April the agreement to acquire JOFO’s stake in SAAF, Argaam earlier reported. The transaction involved the acquisition of the Chinese partner’s entire 70% stake in SAAF’s capital, representing 129,360 shares. Takween already owned the remaining 30% stake, representing 55,440 shares. In July, Takween obtained a no-objection from the General Authority for Competition (GAC) to complete the acquisition.
