ADCB rights issue draws $3.3bn funding commitment

2025/12/10 21:21

Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank (ADCB), which trades on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX), said funded commitments for its rights issue more than doubled.

Secured commitments reached over AED12 billion ($3.3 billion) from UAE, regional and international investors for its AED6.1 billion rights issue, the lender said in a statement to the ADX.

The rights subscription closed on December 4.

Mubadala Investment Company, the majority shareholder in ADCB, subscribed in full to its proportional entitlement of new shares, providing anchor support. The subscription amount was not disclosed.

The remaining shares were oversubscribed by more than three times, reflecting strong investor confidence in ADCB’s strategy and growth trajectory, the statement said.

The bank said the transaction was the “largest-ever rights issue by a company with a primary listing on ADX”.

“We now move into an ambitious phase of technology-driven growth,” group CEO Ala’a Eraiqat said.

The net proceeds will be used to drive organic growth and strengthen the capital base ahead of upcoming regulatory changes, the statement said. No details on the regulatory changes were given.

  • ADCB profit rises as non-interest income up 36%
  • ADCB records promising early year results

Trading in the new shares is expected to begin on the ADX by December 26, the bank said on its website.

In October ADCB said its bottom line rose to AED3.1 billion in the July-September period, compared to AED2.6 billion a year earlier.

Assets grew by 17 percent year on year to AED744 billion by the end of September, while deposits rose 19 percent to AED482 billion.

The lender’s shares closed at AED14.60 on Wednesday, down 1.35 percent on the previous day, but up nearly 48 percent in the last year.

Kalshi outpaces Polymarket after pair feature in South Park episode

Kalshi outpaces Polymarket after pair feature in South Park episode

The post Kalshi outpaces Polymarket after pair feature in South Park episode appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto prediction market Kalshi pulled in nearly $1.3 million more than its biggest rival Polymarket after they both launched trades based on an episode of controversial animation South Park featuring the pair. Kalshi had $1.5 million in volume on its “What will the South Park characters say?” market while Polymarket had a more modest $203,000 on markets speculating about what would be said and which of the show’s characters would trade. The episode in general poked fun at the absurdity of prediction markets, with platforms taking bets on whether or not central character Kyle Broflovski’s Jewish mother would strike Gaza and bomb a Palestinian hospital.  Another of the main characters, Cartman, bets that Kyle’s mother won’t bomb a hospital, but convinces everyone that she will so that the potential profits of his “no” bet increase. This market manipulation was called out by Stan, who described it as an illegal conflict of interest.  The episode poked fun Donald Trump Jr, showing him in an advisory role with both prediction markets. It also took a swipe at the perceived power the Trump administration exerts over regulatory bodies, with Trump Jr depicted as having an advisory role with Israel, being on the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the Federal Communications Commission, and holding significant sway in the White House.  For their part, Polymarket and Kalshi, took the episode in good humor, treating it as free promotion. Indeed, Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan described seeing his company on the show as “surreal,” while Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour noted the episode “even got the referral bonus right.” Read more: Crypto traders ‘talking to lawyers’ over Polymarket’s Zelenskyy suit bet During the episode, South Park’s Fox News anchors describe the prediction markets as a loophole around gambling laws.
