The firm is hoping to raise EGP 460 mn from the sale of 43 mn shares, good for a free float of about 27%. (The retail offering included 5 mn shares, while a further c. 38.1 mn were offered in a private placement). Sigma Capital was the sole coordinator and bookrunner, while Zaki Hashem &amp; Partners acted as legal counsel to the issuer.<\/p><p><strong>B Investments starts trading as its maiden earnings reported a net profit after tax and minority interest of EGP 133.2 mn for FY2017, a 152% y-o-y increase.<\/strong> Consolidated revenues for the year rose 58% y-o-y to EGP 171.6 mn, B Investments said in <a href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2018\/3\/203.pdf\">a statement last night (pdf)<\/a>. \u201cOur performance during 2017 can be attributed to the remarkable growth of all of our portfolio companies despite the challenges that have risen in 2017,\u201d said B Investments Chairman Hazem Barakat. \u201cHeading into 2018, B Investments has a very vibrant pipeline of potential investments and will be rapidly implementing our post-IPO strategy of investing in our existing portfolio companies along with investments in new attractive sectors based on our active value investing approach,\u201d noted founding partner Aladdin Saba. The company had said it will use the proceeds from its IPO to fund investments in renewable energy and non-banking financial services.<\/p><p><strong>Investment Minister Sahar Nasr is holding a 9:45am presser today to discuss the details of her ministry\u2019s investment map, <\/strong>which was <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/03\/04\/what-were-tracking-on-04-march-2018\/\">released earlier this month<\/a>.

More than 90 companies are participating.<\/p><p><a class=\"content-anchor\" id=\"tldr-story-07\"><\/a> <strong>Saudi Arabia won classification as an emerging market by FTSE Russell<\/strong>, marking the first time a major index has classified the kingdom as an EM, according to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ftserussell.com\/files\/press-releases\/ftse-russell-promotes-saudi-arabia-emerging-market-status\">a statement from the index<\/a>. \u201cThe market authorities in Saudi Arabia have taken the required steps to implement market reforms and now meet the formal requirements to be included in FTSE GEIS. Changes include the introduction of enhancements to the Independent Custody Model (ICM) and the further opening of the Saudi Arabia capital market to Qualified Foreign Investors (QFI), which was initiated in 2015 and enhanced in 2018,\u201d the FTSE said. Saudi will join FTSE\u2019s secondary emerging market index in several stages starting in March 2019 and ending in December that year, the company said. <strong>Russell\u2019s move improves the outlook for an MSCI emerging market upgrade expected in June.<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Is KSA trying to out-do Benban?<\/strong> Saudi Arabia and SoftBank Group signed a MoU to build a USD 200 bn solar power development, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2018-03-28\/saudi-arabia-softbank-ink-deal-on-200-billion-solar-project\">which Bloomberg says<\/a> is exponentially larger than any other solar project. The story has captured the delight of the international press, which has taken to rather tamely reporting headline initiatives including Saudi robots and other plans while, in the main, giving KSA a free ride on matters such as the corruption crackdown for which Egypt would have been pilloried. Just like the locker-room style skyscraper-measuring contest between Saudi and the UAE, we expect that the success of the USD 2 bn Benban solar park, has gotten the Saudis a little green.<\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div

No one appears to have brought up threats by the National Elections Authority to prosecute those who abstained from voting (we did, and you can find it in the Speed Round).<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, <strong>President Abdel Fattah El Sisi received the lion\u2019s share of the votes<\/strong> \u2014 to the point where the votes in favor of rival candidate Moussa Mostafa Moussa were fewer than the number of invalid ballots (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=35PZVXbRzvk\">watch, runtime: 1:59<\/a>). Preliminary estimates indicate that turnout in Luxor, Fayoum, Beni Suef and Minya hovered around 35-55% (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UYiZZZZiFwI\">watch, runtime: 2:18<\/a>) and (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2if7BFbrY3U\">watch, runtime: 2:12<\/a>), while turnout in Menoufia exceeded 52%, according to State Information Service head Diaa Rashwan (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RN8MdPUYh6A\">watch, runtime: 1:58<\/a>). Whereas Hona Al Asema\u2019s Lamees Al Hadidi had her hands together in prayer for a total turnout of 30-35%, Rashwan nonchalantly said 40-45% would be passable.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kol Youm\u2019s Amr Adib refused to acknowledge that some chose to boycott the elections<\/strong>, and continued to maintain that voters showed up at polling stations en masse yesterday despite the bad weather conditions (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=OgIQamw-lmg\">watch, runtime: 3:41<\/a>). Field reporters from Kol Youm, Hona Al Asema, Al Hayah Al Youm, and DMC also claimed the third day of voting saw a higher influx of voters than the previous two days, partially thanks to Mahalla workers (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=eGMdWa-mRFI\">watch, runtime: 3:54<\/a>). The workers went out to vote without any pressure from the textile company\u2019s administration, according to company head Ahmed Moustafa (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=yIkE8ZwgWOM\">watch, runtime: 1:46<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Someone finally said it:<\/strong> Lamees Al Hadidi slammed some governors for offering financial rewards and promising services such as new sewage systems as voting incentives, pointing out that these are bribes and that having access to these services is a basic right and not a gift from the government for good behavior. She also stressed that people are heading to the polls because they want to and not because their votes are being bought (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Znp5sCjawz8\">watch, runtime: 2:56<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Foreign journalists have not reported any violations, save for a few unconfirmed reports on vote buying<\/strong>, according to the SIS\u2019 Rashwan, who dismissed the notion that the elections were rigged in any way. Director of the Mediterranean Basin Initiative at the Center for Transatlantic Relations Sasha Toperich \u2014 who acted as an observer throughout the elections \u2014 also had no complaints or violations to report (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PRVOFRZxPW4\">watch, runtime: 3:52<\/a>).

Under the amended regulations, companies looking to IPO will have to choose between two options: The first will be to list at least 25% of their shares, up from 10% currently; and the second would entail listing a number of shares equivalent to 0.025% of the total freefloat capital of the EGX, provided that number is equal to at least 10% of the company\u2019s total shares.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Already-listed companies need to comply <\/strong>and will have two choices: either increase their percentage of freefloat to at least 10% of total company shares, or the equivalent of 0.125% of total EGX freefloat capital (if that figure makes up at least 5% of total company shares). Companies will have until the end of 2019 to comply with the new regulations.<\/p>\n<p>The amendments also <strong>cancel a directive that had required executive board members of brokerages to hold at least a 10% stake in the company<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Board members\u2019 remuneration must be made public: <\/strong>The FRA\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/03\/26\/new-financial-regulatory-authority-board-ratified\/\">newly-appointed board<\/a> also approved yesterday regulations they say will enhance the transparency of thenation\u2019s capital market. Those rules include provisions that will force listed companies to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Provide all shareholders at every AGM with detailed reports on remuneration for board members (including salaries, bonuses, etc); <\/li>\n<li>Require large shareholders and board members of listed companies to disclose their direct in indirect investments in other listed companies;<\/li>\n<li>Include their governance framework in their annual reports;<\/li>\n<li>Provide updates on planned capital increases on a semi-annual basis; <\/li>\n<li>Share details of capital increase valuation studies with their oldest shareholders.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>FRA broadens classification of SMEs seeking stock market listing: <\/strong>FRA has set the maximum capital required to list as an SME at EGP 100 mn, raising it from EGP 50 mn. Once listed, SMEs can continue to raise their capital until a ceiling of EGP 200 mn, after which point they are no longer classified as SMEs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The FRA also signed off on provisions it says expand protections for minority shareholders,<\/strong> which include the creation of a new account in the EGX that will buy out minority stakes from shareholders who have been harmed by a company\u2019s decision to delist from the bourse. <strong>Compliance deadline: <\/strong>Companies will have until the end of 2018 to adjust to the new amendments if their financial year ends on 31 December and until mid-2019 if their financial year ends on 30 June.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/speed-round\/\">SPEED ROUND<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"631890\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"631891\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"631891\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">5<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Image of the Day<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2018\/03\/29\/english-people-probably-were-not-white-10000-years-ago\/\">\r\n                            English people probably were not white 10,000 years ago                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2018\/03\/29\/english-people-probably-were-not-white-10000-years-ago\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();

a conversation on a cabinet shuffle:<\/strong> When there\u2019s an elections,there\u2019s bound to be baseless talk of a cabinet shuffle. Come to think if it, even when there isn\u2019t. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.almasryalyoum.com\/news\/details\/1275730\">Al Masry Al Youm<\/a> columnist Sabry Ghoneim looks to preempt that conversation with her candidates. CBE Governor Tarek Amer and Administrative Control Authority head Mohamed Erfan are the best options for Egypt\u2019s next prime minister. President Abdel Fattah El Sisi\u2019s selection between these two contenders will depend on his priorities moving forward; if the president will stick to an economy-centric agenda, Amer should be his pick since he has proved himself worth, says Ghoneim. However, if the president wants to focus on overhauling the government system in its entirety to weed out corruption and inefficiencies, he should look no further than Erfan.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/on-deadline\/\">On Deadline<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"631895\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"631895\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">8<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Worth reading<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2018\/03\/29\/the-global-water-crisis-explainer\/\">\r\n                            The global water crisis explainer                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2018\/03\/29\/the-global-water-crisis-explainer\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();

As a matter of fact, the country is but a tiny node in an ever-growing global water crisis caused by population and development growth, poor water resources management and climate change, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/news.nationalgeographic.com\/2018\/03\/world-water-day-water-crisis-explained\/\">National Geographic<\/a>. Fourteen of the world\u2019s 20 megacities are now experiencing water scarcity or drought conditions. As many as 14 bn people already live in regions that experience severe water stress for at least one month of the year, according to <a href=\"http:\/\/advances.sciencemag.org\/content\/2\/2\/e1500323\">a 2016 study in the journal Science Advances<\/a>. Cape Town made history earlier this year by becoming the first major city where water will officially run out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In wetter climates, the issue sometimes is too much water.<\/strong> When flash floods and deluges fall, the human and economic consequences are sometimes disastrous as when Hurricane Harvey hit the US.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lesson #1 for Egypt: It\u2019s simply not enough to tackle general human consumption.<\/strong> typical home use of water\u2014for washing, flushing, and cooking\u2014represents only about three percent of humanity\u2019s total water consumption, says says Arjen Hoekstra, a professor of water management at the University of Twente in the Netherlands. Agriculture uses the lion\u2019s share, consuming 80-90%, followed by energy production and industry. This water, which often goes largely unseen, is often called \u201cvirtual water.\u201d From water-intensive crops to the manufacturing of virtually everything, every good produced and exported amounts to an export of water.
