This capital restructuring marks a critical milestone in Salama's ongoing efforts to reinforce solvency, ensure full regulatory compliance and provide a stable foundation for future operations.

Mohamed Ali Bouabane, Group Chief Executive Officer of Salama, commented:

"The approval of our capital restructuring plan marks an important step toward strengthening Salama's balance sheet and meeting all regulatory capital requirements. The continued support of our shareholders and strategic investors reflects strong confidence in the company's fundamentals and long-term stability.

"Looking ahead, our focus will remain on generating tangible value for shareholders by maintaining strong underwriting discipline, optimising our expense base, strategically deploying capital and delivering superior claims service ensuring Salama remains a simpler, leaner and more resilient organisation."

The new capital will strengthen Salama's solvency position and ensure compliance with capital requirements of the Central Bank of the UAE, while supporting its well-diversified portfolio across product lines and geographies providing stability and multiple avenues for sustainable growth.

Salama reported steady financial improvement in the first half of 2025, with total equity rising to AED 351.84 million, a 5.2% increase compared to the previous year. The Company also achieved a net profit of AED 8.25 million and Takaful revenue of AED 515.36 million as of 30 June 2025, demonstrating disciplined operations and improved financial performance.

S&P Global Ratings recently affirmed Salama's long-term issuer credit and insurer financial strength rating at 'BBB-' with a Developing outlook, highlighting the Company's improving fundamentals and progress toward a stronger capital position.
