Distribution details and due dates
According to the official statement published on the Saudi Stock Exchange (Tadawul) website, the number of outstanding units on which the cash distributions will be based is 186.94 million. The distribution per unit has been set at SAR 0.144, representing a distribution rate of 1.74% of the net asset value.

REIT sector in the Saudi market
These distributions come amidst the remarkable activity witnessed in the Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) sector in Saudi Arabia. These funds play a pivotal role in deepening the financial market and providing diverse investment channels that allow individual and institutional investors to participate in the real estate market with varying capital, while benefiting from periodic returns. These financial instruments align with the objectives of the Kingdom's Vision 2030, which aims to diversify income sources and develop the financial sector, as REITs offer high liquidity compared to direct investment in real estate.
SEDCO Capital's position and economic impact
SEDCO Capital is a leading Sharia-compliant asset manager, and the continued cash dividend distribution by SEDCO Capital REIT reflects the strength of its real estate portfolio and the quality of its income-generating assets. Adherence to a clear distribution schedule enhances investor confidence in the fund's management and contributes to attracting further cash flow to the market. Financial analysts typically view stable cash distributions as a healthy indicator of a fund's financial soundness and its ability to generate free cash flow from leasing and operating activities, thus supporting long-term unit price stability in the financial market.
