The bonds were offered at AED 1.10 each and will be converted into shares on or before 29 October 2025. Total subscriptions exceeded AED 520 million from eligible shareholders who subscribed through Emirates NBD, the lead receiving bank. The AED 500 million raised through the MCBs will fund the cash component of the acquisition, while the remaining consideration will be settled through the issuance of approximately 359 million new shares to Brooge at AED 1.25 per share (subject to a one-year lock-up), and an additional AED 2.3 billion in MCBs issued to Brooge, convertible at AED 1.25 per share, also with a one-year lock-up post-conversion.

The Brooge acquisition is expected to strengthen GulfNav's market position and boost its operational efficiency and competitive edge.
