e7 Group unveils Dh800 million special dividend, 3-year payout plan

Dubai: e7 Group PJSC unveiled a strategic capital restructuring plan anchored by a one-off Dh800 million special dividend, reinforcing its commitment to long-term shareholder value creation.

The Board also approved a minimum annual dividend of 10 fils per share for the next three financial years (FY25–FY27).

The Group—renowned across the Middle East and Africa for its work in identity, packaging, printing, and logistics—said the special dividend follows an internal review of inorganic growth options.

Finding no near-term large-scale acquisition opportunities that meet its criteria, the Board opted to return surplus capital to shareholders.

Alongside the dividend payout, e7 will launch a voluntary offer to buy back outstanding warrants at Dh2.40 per warrant, offering additional value to investors.

e7 said the decision reflects its strong balance sheet and confident long-term outlook. The Group aims to continue investing in organic growth and strategic bolt-on acquisitions, particularly in identity-related technologies such as digital IDs and systems integration.

“We are pleased to declare this one-off special dividend, which represents the most prudent use of our excess capital at this time,” said Ahmed Al Shamsi, Chairman of e7 Group.

“Our multi-year dividend framework demonstrates our commitment to disciplined capital allocation and sustainable value creation.”

e7 continues to see strong demand across the Middle East and Africa in its core sectors. The Group expects its scale, platform, and operational excellence to support new acquisitions and improve margins in the coming years. Its long-term vision includes further strengthening its presence in identity solutions and adjacent fields.

The Board reaffirmed its focus on growing shareholder returns while remaining financially flexible to capture future opportunities.
