The Saudi Company for the Production of Clay Pipes 'Al-Fakhariya' plans to reduce its capital to less than half before increasing it again through a rights issue.

The company said in a disclosure published on 'Tadawul' today Tuesday that its board of directors decided to recommend to the extraordinary general assembly of shareholders a capital reduction of 56.8%, before increasing it again.

The board aims through this step to restructure the company's capital to offset more than 85 million riyals of accumulated losses.

The proposed capital reduction will be carried out by cancelling more than 8.5 million shares, equivalent to about 0.6 shares per share owned.

The reduction will bring the company's capital to 64.7 million riyals, compared to 150 million currently.
