Overview

What happened Source facts

‎ Transaction value, consideration type and payment method will be determined after due diligence and final terms. Saudi Azm for Communication and Information Technology Co. signed, on Aug. 2, a non-binding memorandum of understanding (MoU) with AZM FinTech, a closed joint-stock company, to explore a potential transaction involving the acquisition of 100% of the latter’s shares. The company said in a Tadawul statement that the MoU represents an initial, non-binding agreement between the parties regarding the proposed transaction. It establishes a framework for evaluating the transaction and conducting legal, financial, tax and Zakat due diligence. The transaction’s value, consideration type and payment method will be determined after completing the necessary due diligence and negotiating the final binding terms. The MoU also regulates information sharing between the parties, with confidentiality and exclusivity provisions applying throughout its term. AZM FinTech is required to cooperate and provide the necessary documents. Saudi Azm noted that the transaction involves related parties, including Majed Al-Osaimi, Chairman and a major shareholder of the company, as well as Chairman and a shareholder of AZM FinTech; Ali Mohammed Al-Ballaa, a board member, CEO and major shareholder of the company, as well as Managing Director and a shareholder of AZM FinTech; and Firas Al-Mosli, a board member of the company’s subsidiary, Wasl Platform for Communication and Information Technology Co., as well as a shareholder and CEO of AZM FinTech. The MoU became effective upon signing and will remain valid for 12 months unless the parties agree otherwise in writing. The company added that any other related parties, if applicable, will be disclosed at a later date. The company has appointed Alistithmar Capital as financial advisor for the proposed transaction. The MoU is non-binding and that the proposed transaction remains subject to the parties reaching a definitive binding agreement. There is no guarantee that the definitive agreements will be signed or that the potential transaction will be completed. The company will disclose any material developments related to the potential transaction in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations, the statement added.
