The General Assembly of OTC 140 AAN Digital Services Holding Company is scheduled to convene its Ordinary and Extraordinary General Meetings on Thursday, September 4, 2025, to discuss several critical matters. Key among them is the fact that the company’s accumulated losses have reached three-quarters of its paid-up capital, prompting a discussion on whether to continue the company's operations, dissolve it, or take the necessary measures to ensure its continuity.
The assembly will consider a proposal to reduce the company's authorized, issued, and paid-up capital from KWD 16,254,461 to KWD 2,427,630, in order to fully offset accumulated losses totaling KWD 13,826,831. The reduction would be implemented by cancelling 138,268,310 shares at a nominal value of 100 fils per share, in accordance with the financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. The assembly will also discuss authorizing the Board of Directors to manage the fractional shares resulting from the capital reduction.
Additionally, shareholders will review and vote on amending Article (6) of the Memorandum of incorporation Article (5) of the Articles of Association, which would be updated to read:
"The authorized, issued, and paid-up capital is set at KWD 2,427,630, equivalent to 24,276,300 shares, and all shares are cash shares, subject to regulatory approval."
