Sharjah Islamic Bank Rights Issue Overview

Sharjah Islamic Bank PJSC (“SIB” or the “Bank”) has published on 14 February 2026 the invitation to the Annual General Meeting (“AGM”) proposing to increase its capital through a strategic rights issue aimed at raising gross proceeds of up to AED 2.59 billion. This initiative marks a decisive step to accelerate the pace of the Bank’s strong organic growth and deliver substantial long-term value for shareholders.

The proposed rights issue will increase SIB’s issued capital from AED 3,235,677,638 up to AED 4,314,236,850 through the issuance of up to 1,078,559,212 new shares.

The new shares will be issued at an issue price of AED 2.40 per new share, reflecting the nominal value of AED1.00 per new share and a share premium of AED 1.40 per new share.

This represents a discount of 37% to the closing share price of SIB’s shares on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange as of 13 February 2026. 

Eligible shareholders will receive rights entitling them to subscribe for one new share for every 3 existing shares held.

The rights issue has received all necessary approvals from the Central Bank of the UAE and the Capital Markets Authority.

Rationale for the capital increase


The rights issue provides shareholders with an opportunity to participate in the Bank’s continued success, through the subscription for new shares. This strategic initiative will serve the interests of the Bank and its shareholders by enhancing capacity to achieve significant asset growth, whilst remaining ahead of evolving regulatory requirements as the Bank continues to focus on delivering strong and sustainable returns.

 

SIB intends to use the net proceeds raised from the rights issue to strengthen its capital base well-beyond regulatory capital adequacy requirements, extend runway for balance sheet growth and maintain attractive shareholders returns.

Rights Issue supported by the Bank’s majority shareholder

The Government of Sharjah, holding a significant stake in SIB through Sharjah Asset Management LLC and Sharjah Social Security Fund, has confirmed its full support to the capital increase through rights issuance and its commitment as existing shareholder to subscribe in full for its proportional entitlement of the offered shares, which is a testament of its support to the Bank’s future ambitions.
