Another curiosity regarding BMB.
- AN Investment WLL Bahrain (ANI) holding some 80.77%
- Al Fawares Construction and Development Kuwait (ALF) holding some 14.48%
You can look
this up at Sijilat using BMB’s CR 12266-1.
Even more curious, according
to Sijilat, ANI (CR 86835-1) was struck from the Commercial Register
with the notation “deleted by law” on 15 September 2019. That
is, by AA’s reckoning over one year ago.
So
here is the conundrum.
- Assuming that the MOICT information is correct and that ALF has not acquired “Bahraini corporate citizenship” which Bahraini entity or Bahraini individuals own the shares previously owned by ALF?
- Assuming that the Bahrain Bourse information is correct, how can AN Investments WLL be a shareholder in BMB, if it no longer has a valid commercial registry? If ANI is no longer the shareholder, then who or which Bahraini entity holds the 80.77% of BMB’s shares previously owned by it?
- Given that over one year has passed since ANI’s forced de-registration, it would seem there would be sufficient time for the MOICT and Bahrain Bourse to agree and “conform” their data.
- Beyond that, surely BMB itself has an obligation to advise the Central Bank of Bahrain and the Bahrain Bourse of changes in its shareholding.
Or something else? For example, a change in ownership due to a legal proceeding?
