Qatar Fuel (WOQOD) Extraordinary General Assembly (EGM) Chaired by Mr. Ahmed Saif Al-Sulaiti, Chairman of the Board of Directors held its meeting on Sunday 10/06/2018, where the EGM amended Article 9-1 of the company Articles of Associations to raise the non-Qatari ownership to 49% of the company share capital and to raise the limits of ownership to the one shareholder to 1%.
It is worth noting that WOQOD attempted to convene its Extra Ordinary General Assembly meeting on 06/05/2018 & 09/05/2018 respectively but the meetings had been postponed for today due to lack of the necessary quorum.
Engineer Al-Muhannadi indicated that this amendment came in order to give effect to the instructions of Qatar Petroleum to its listed affiliate companies, and also to address the request of Qatar Stock Exchange to undertake the said amendments with the purpose of enhancing the investment attractiveness of Qatari companies, after classification of the State of Qatar was raised by MSCI and a number of international indexing agencies to the level of emerging markets, thus becoming the largest emerging market in the region.
The amended Article 9-1 of WOQOD Articles of Associations reads as follows:
"Except for the owner of the privileged share, Shafallah Center and the State of Qatar (as defined in Qatar Financial Market Authority Decision No. 1 of 2016), the Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development, The Qatar Investment Authority and Qatar Holding Company, no natural or legal person may at any time - directly or indirectly - hold shares in the Company in excess of 1% of the issued capital.
Subject to the provisions of the above paragraph, non-Qataris may hold a total percentage of the capital of the Company not exceeding 49% of the issued capital in accordance with the provisions of Law No. 9 of 2014 regulating the investment of foreign capital in economic activity”.
