The FRA explained that the mandatory tender offer aims to acquire up to 90% of Egyfert's capital, allowing the company's shares to remain listed on the Egyptian Exchange. The offer price is set at 95 Egyptian pounds per share.

The FRA added that NAS Holding and its related parties currently own 32.5% of Egyfert's capital, representing 3.12 million shares.
