This strategic move provides a direct and tangible return, allowing shareholders to benefit from a stake in a high-potential entity. By increasing Agility Global PLC's free float, the distribution is expected to significantly improve share liquidity, enhance price discovery, and position Agility Global PLC for greater visibility and potential inclusion in key equity indices. This initiative reflects the Board's ongoing commitment to maximizing shareholder value and aligning long-term interests.● Fostering Kuwaiti Talent: Building on its longstanding commitment to developing Kuwaiti human capital, the company will intensify efforts to recruit, develop, and retain Kuwaiti nationals—who will serve as the driving force behind the strategy.● New brand: To provide further clarity for shareholders and stakeholders, Agility KSCP will in due course carry a new name that reflects its new mission.Together, these strategic priorities are designed to enhance focus and operational efficiency and unlock long-term value—reinforcing Agility KSCP's position as a trusted industrial partner and key enabler of Kuwait's economic growth.Offering Investors Access to Kuwait's GrowthTarek Sultan, Vice Chairman of Agility KSCP, said: 'As a company with deep national roots, we are aligning every aspect of our operations and capital allocation to serve Kuwait's long-term economic transformation.
