The investment vehicle invested in the new share issue of Mushrif Trading & Contracting Co. (MTCC), amounting to $97.2 million.

The deal -- the first-of-its-kind for the Finance House -- was arranged in conjunction with Qatar National Bank . Finance House acted as the exclusive mandated lead arranger, facility agent and security agent for the transaction, which was concluded in 45 days.

The acquisition of a 50 per cent interest in Mushrif was made by Gulf Consortium 2 LLC, a UAE-based company and a member in the group of Ithmar Capital , whereby Gulf Consortium 2 entirely subscribed to the 30 million shares at a price of 900 Kuwaiti fils per share (a par value of 100 Kuwaiti fils and a share premium of 800 Kuwaiti fils).
