I like the huge part. Also take note of the "15 on the second ten will be for all investors and all nationalities" If the full capital is not raised via the current shareholders then the offer is opened to the general investment populace. I understand this is how these offers have always been done but I have never seen it openly stated like that. Those thinking of buying Warka now may want to wait and see if they can get in on the Section I part of this for 1 dinar per share.
On a side note. I do not see all of the banks being able to meet this requirement. Does anyone else think this may be the beginning of a couple bank mergers or possible 'World' type banks (BOA's) could come in for takeovers?
