News Update From SHUAA Capital PSC

Disclosure: Detailed Analysis Accumulated Losses

On 14 August 2024, SHUAA Capital psc reported its Q2 2024 financial statements, revealing accumulated losses of AED 945 million, representing a 37.28% accumulated losses to capital ratio. The losses are primarily attributed to fair value losses and impairments related to investments, goodwill, and receivables, particularly in the UK and legacy real estate assets. Additional factors include losses from an associate's valuation adjustments, the recognition of a deferred tax liability due to new corporate tax laws in the UAE, and write-offs from revised land valuations and public market securities investments. To address these losses, SHUAA Capital has implemented capital optimization measures, including an agreement with noteholders to amend the terms of its USD 150 million bonds. This agreement allows for the conversion of a portion of the bonds into equity through Mandatory Convertible Bonds (MCB), with the remaining bonds potentially being settled at a discount in cash.
