Companies Law
Art. 115Status unknownSaudi ArabiaRegulation
Issued by Ministry of Investment (misa.gov.sa)
1. A shareholder shall pay the remaining amount of the value of the share on
the designated dates. In case of non-payment, the board of directors may,
after notifying the shareholder in the manner prescribed in the company’s
articles of association or by registered mail or through any means of
technology, sell the share at a public auction or in the capital market, as the
case may be. The company's articles of association may grant other
shareholders a preemptive right to purchase the shares of the non-paying
shareholder.
2. The company shall receive the amounts due thereto from the sale proceeds
and shall return any remaining amount to the shareholder. If the sale
proceeds are not sufficient to satisfy the due amounts, the company may
satisfy such amounts from the shareholder’s property.
3. Rights associated with shares the value of which is not paid by the due date
shall be suspended until such shares are sold or the due amount is paid in
accordance with the provision of paragraph (1) of this Article; such rights
include the right to receive dividends and attend shareholder assemblies and
vote on their decisions. However, the non-paying shareholder may, up to the
date of sale, pay the due amount, in addition to any related expenses
incurred by the company; in such case, he shall have the right to demand
payment of dividends.
4. The company shall cancel the certificate of the share sold in accordance with
the provisions of this Article and shall provide the buyer with a new certificate
bearing the serial number of the canceled certificate. The sale shall be
recorded in the shareholders register along with the particulars of the new
holder.
