1. Press Release DFM : Trading of Emirates Islamic Bank Rights Issue between 7 and 21 December 2016 Dubai, 6 December 2016: Dubai Financial Market (DFM) today announced that the rights issue of “Emirates Islamic Bank” is due to be tradable on the exchange between Wednesday 7 December and Wednesday 21 December 2016. Trading of the rights issue enables existing shareholders of the bank who do not wish to subscribe to the new shares, which the bank plans to issue as part of its capital increase, to sell all or part of their rights to other investors who do wish to subscribe. The rights issue is a financial instrument representing the rights that are legally granted to the company’s shareholders to have priority in subscribing for the company’s capital increase shares that will be issued. The rights are distributed amongst shareholders in proportion to the number of shares they own and shall be recorded in their accounts with the brokerage or custody firms if the original shares were recorded in the shareholders' accounts with them, whereas it shall be recorded in their accounts with clearing if the original shares were recorded with the clearing house. The rights issue will be solely tradable during the above-mentioned timeframe with a distinct trading symbol (EIB-RI), not the symbol of the main stock of the respective bank. The priority right to subscribe for the capital increase shares shall be given to the owners of the rights issue at the end of the clearing and settlement cycle for the trades of such rights. The rights issue has a pre-set validity and inevitably loses its value if the owners do not subscribe to the capital increase shares. www.dfm.ae
