The total number of Treasury shares not entitled to dividends related to the Employees Stock Incentives Plan stood at 320,000 shares until this date. Dividends are due to shareholders registered with the Securities Depository Center Company (Depository Center) at the end of the second trading day following the due date. The company would like to draw the attention of its esteemed shareholders to the importance of promptly updating their data through Tadawulaty platform and ensuring their bank account numbers are linked to their investment portfolios. This is to guarantee their dividends are deposited into their bank accounts on the distribution day. Furthermore, it is essential to deposit all share certificates in their possession - if any - into their investment portfolios. This must be done by physically delivering them to the Securities Depository Center Company (Edaa). The company would also like to bring to the attention of non-resident investors that the dividends paid to them will be subject to a 5% withholding tax upon the transfer or deposit of these dividends into their bank accounts. This is in accordance with the provisions of Article (68) of the Income Tax Law and Article (63) of its Executive Regulations. Accordingly, the company emphasizes that non-resident investors holding tax exemptions on dividend distributions issued by the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA) must contact the company within five (5) calendar days from the record date and provide supporting documentation for their tax exemption.
