July 31, 2024 (MLN): The Searle Company Limited's Board of Directors has decided to sell its entire shareholding in Searle Pakistan Limited (SPL), previously named OBS Pakistan Limited, amounting to approximately 90.61% of SPL's issued and paid-up share capital.

The buyer is a consortium led by IJARA Capital Partners Limited (ICPL) through its Private Equity & Venture Capital Fund.

The sale is contingent on finalizing the terms, meeting conditions precedent, and securing necessary corporate, third-party, and regulatory approvals, including shareholder consent.
