Saudi Electric to buy back 5bn riyal sukuk

17 Jun, 2012

The sukuk is due to expire in 2027 but under the terms, SEC must offer to repurchase it every five years, at a price which decreases over time.

The paper will no longer trade on the Saudi stock exchange from June 17, and payments will be made to bondholders by July 15, SEC said.
