Deal by Design
Welcome to this edition of Law Update, focusing on the evolving M&A landscape across the MENA region. With deal activity and value continuing to grow, the region is seeing increased investor interest alongside a changing regulatory environment.
This edition explores key legal and market developments affecting M&A transactions, including regulatory reforms, foreign investment, governance, due diligence and deal structuring across the region.
Further to our recent alerts, by early next week all entities who fall under the scope of Cabinet Resolution No. 58 of 2020 on the regulation of the Procedures of the Real Beneficiary (“Resolution 58”), must provide their respective commercial registrars with details of their Real Beneficiaries and the Partners / Shareholders, as per the registers they are required to prepare and maintain.
You should keep in mind that, apart from Abu Dhabi Global Market, Dubai International Financial Centre, wholly Federal or local government owned (or their wholly-owned subsidiaries or branches) or UAE securities market listed entities, all UAE entities fall under the scope of Resolution 58.
We would be delighted to advise if your entity is subject to this regime and, if so, help you identify your Real Beneficiaries and prepare the Real Beneficiaries, Partners / Shareholders, Directors registers required under Resolution 58 (in Arabic / English, as the case may be).
