GFH Financial Group B.S.C., the leading Islamic Wholesale Bank based in Bahrain, announced a rescheduling of its Ordinary General Meeting originally set for 17th March 2024. The meeting was postponed due to the lack of the required quorum, with only 25.68% achieved. The second meeting has now been scheduled for 24th March 2024 at GFH House, Bahrain Financial Harbour - Sea Front.

The rescheduling of the meeting has resulted in a shift in the dividend distribution dates. The Cum-Dividend Date is now 1st April 2024, the Ex-Dividend Date is 2nd April 2024, and the Record Dates for shares listed on Bahrain Bourse, Dubai Financial Market, Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange, and Boursa Kuwait are 3rd and 4th April 2024 respectively. The Payment Date is set to be 16th April 2024. However, these dates are contingent on the quorum being met on the rescheduled meeting date.

This development may raise concerns among investors, as the lack of quorum suggests a possible disconnect between the company's management and its shareholders. However, it is important to note that GFH Financial Group has a solid history and a diversified offering in the GCC region. The company's pioneering track record in Investment Management, Commercial Banking, and Treasury & Proprietary Investments could potentially weather this temporary setback.

Investors should also consider the company's impressive market cap of 3,610,303,395 and stable yields over the past months. While the rescheduling may cause some short-term uncertainty, GFH's overall financial health and strategic investments in the US, Europe, and UK suggest potential for stability in the long run.

Considering these factors, it might be prudent for investors to adopt a wait-and-see approach until the rescheduled meeting takes place and the quorum is met. The outcome of the meeting and the subsequent dividend distribution could provide further insights into GFH's financial direction and stability.
