Issued by Ministry of Investment (misa.gov.sa)

1. The board of directors shall, when preparing the agenda of the general assembly, take into consideration the matters that shareholders wish to include. A shareholder, or more, representing at least 10% of the company's voting shares may add an item, or more, to the agenda during its preparation; the Competent Authority may amend said percentage. 2. The board of directors shall list each matter included in the general assembly’s agenda as an independent item. The board shall not combine fundamentally distinct matters under one item, nor shall it include under one item the transactions and contracts in which any board member has a direct or indirect interest for the purpose of voting on the whole item. 3. Any shareholder may discuss the items included on the agenda of the general assembly and direct related questions to board members and the auditor. Any provision to the contrary in the company’s articles of association shall be deemed null and void. The board of directors or the auditor shall answer the questions of shareholders to the extent that does not undermine the company’s interests. If a shareholder is not satisfied with the response to his question, he may request the general assembly to decide thereon and its decision shall be final.
