2PointZero Group plans 2027 dividend policy ahead of major Abu Dhabi merger

Dubai: 2PointZero Group plans to propose the adoption of a dividend policy starting in 2027, the company’s executive team announced ahead of the completion of Multiply Group’s acquisition of 2PointZero and Ghitha Holding. The transaction remains subject to regulatory approvals.

The creation of 2PointZero Group will form one of Abu Dhabi’s largest listed mergers, establishing an investment platform spanning the energy and consumer sectors. The combined entity will hold assets of about Dh120 billion and operate in more than 85 countries. Executives described the portfolio as diversified and structured to deliver steady performance through different market conditions.

Multiply Group GCEO and Managing Director Samia Bouazza, appointed CEO of 2PointZero Group, said the organisation aims to deliver “sustained, compounding long-term value” for shareholders. She said the Group is targeting a 35 percent increase in net income for 2026, excluding fair value movement, driven by stronger operational performance and integration across its verticals.

Bouazza said the team will present a proposed dividend policy to the Board as part of its broader capital allocation framework. She highlighted the strength of the balance sheet, with Dh10 billion in cash, Dh31.5 billion in listed equity positions and a 0.25x debt-to-equity ratio.

She added that the new Group will deploy capital into areas with the highest long-term value potential. The structure is designed to support reinvestment in high-growth sectors while providing stable shareholder returns.

The Group expects the merger to improve liquidity with a 39 percent free float and increase index weightings across benchmarks such as MSCI Emerging Markets, FTSE ADX General and FADX 15. The proposed dividend policy will be formalised for Board consideration once the new entity is established.
