Korra Energi CEO sells $3.9M in stock to fund $7.67M rights issue

Why now? The timing lines up with his own bill. Korra's remaining shares entitle him to around 1.49 billion new shares, which would cost some EGP 305 million to take up at the EGP 0.205 price. The stock sale covers two-thirds of that.
The terms: Korra sold the shares at an average of EGP 6.004 through Wilzy SecuritiesDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom →, cutting his stake to 73.48% from 75%. He and related parties now hold 87.48%, down from 89%.
