Tokyo: Sorouh Real Estate, the third-largest real estate developer in the UAE, plans to raise the cap on foreign ownership of its stock to 40 per cent from 20 per cent, a company executive said yesterday.
Firoze Kapadia, executive director of treasury and investments, said the company's board would likely make the decision at a meeting at the end of this month, with the aim of attracting more foreign institutional investors.
"We want to make an effort towards ensuring that the majority of the shareholding rests with institutions, pension funds and fund managers," Kapadia said on the sidelines of a road show for Abu Dhabi firms in Tokyo organised by HSBC Holdings Plc.
"We want to reduce the volatility in our share dealing," he said.
