Material Impact on the company’s financials |
As a result of the board of director’s resolutions detailed in this disclosure and as far as the in-kind dividend is concerned, Agility’s equity attributable to equity holders will decrease by an estimated net amount of approximately KD 800 million and Agility’s non-controlling interests (minority interests) will increase by an estimated net amount of approximately KD 800 million (upon the distribution being effective within Q2 2024). However, the value of the Company’s assets as well as its revenue and EBIT are not expected to be affected as a result of the foregoing. Note, these amounts are estimates based on the latest available financials to date and the final values will be determined at the time of the distribution and will be reflected in the subsequent quarterly results of Agility, noting that Agility will remain the majority owner of 51% of Agility Global PLC’s shares, the latter will be deemed a subsidiary of the Company and Agility will keep consolidating Agility Global PLC’s accounts. The profit attributable to equity holders of Agility is expected to be lower to the extent of the share of the minority interests; such impact cannot be determined accurately as of now. |
