Third Resolution

De-listing From Kuwait and Abu Dhabi

Stock Exchange Markets

 

The Extraordinary General Assembly unanimously approved the Board's decision to de-list CIB's shares from both Kuwait and Abu Dhabi Stock Exchanges for the following reasons:

1)     Only one transaction took place in Kuwait Stock Exchange since the shares have been listed in both markets in November 2004.

2)     CIB's stock is accessible for trade through both a GDR Program in London and a Level 1 ADR Program in New York Stock Exchanges; thus meeting the strategic objective of visibility in the global investment community.

3)   Abu Dhabi Stock Exchange has requested the presentation of the annual and interim financial statements according to their requirements which differs in some important aspects from what is required by the Central Bank of Egypt, for example with respect to accounting for profit appropriation and provisions.  This will result in mismatched financial reports and analysis and that may negatively impact shareholders' interest.
