UAE Telecom Operator du Puts 342 Million Shares on the Market

UAE’s second-biggest telecom operator, du, is putting more than 342 million shares up for grabs on the Dubai Financial Market (DFM). Each share is priced between Dh9 and Dh9.90, with the sale expected to raise between Dh3.07 billion and Dh3.38 billion.

Who’s selling?

The shares are being offered by Mamoura Diversified Global Holding, which currently owns just over 10% of du. If the full sale goes through, its stake will shrink to about 2.5%. Meanwhile, the Emirates Investment Authority remains the largest shareholder with over 50%.
