K&A’s role on the transaction involved structuring, negotiating, and drafting all transaction documents and public circulars on behalf of Samba. K&A also represented Samba when dealings with regulators, including the CMA, GAC, SAMA, and MOC.

This deal continues K&A strong track record in successful M&A deals in Saudi Arabia, after having had roles in Saudi Aramco’s acquisition of 70% stake in SABIC, SIPCHEM’s share swap with Sahara, and the SABB/Alwwal merger.

The closing of this deal also coincides with K&A being named the Saudi Arabian Law Firm of the year by Thomson Reuters, and National Law Firm for Saudi Arabia by the IFLR.
