Saudi Cable Company is looking to raise 360 million riyals ($96 million) through a rights issue to boost its capital.

The plan was recommended by the board of directors in a recent meeting and it’s intended to increase operational capacity and support future activity, the company said in a bourse filing to the Saudi Stock Exchange (Tadawul) on Thursday.

The company is yet to submit the application for capital increase to the Capital Market Authority (CMA), but it said that Falcom Financial Services has already been appointed as the advisor.

Saudi Cable posted net earnings of 51.4 million riyals during the third quarter of 2020, compared to 23.8 million in net losses a year earlier.
