The sources said that the company is finalizing the issuance procedures, with CI Capital and AUR Capital as the financial advisors, and AUR Capital as the issuance manager on behalf of its subsidiary. Al-Derini and Co. is the legal advisor for the issuance, which is expected to be completed within two weeks. The issuance is part of AUR Capital's ambitious plan to reach EGP 8bn in securitization issuances within three years, to provide the necessary liquidity for the group's expansion and investment plans.
