The meeting will be held physically at Hassanicore Tower in Dubai and electronically on April 30, 2025, at 2:00 PM. The agenda includes reviewing and approving the Board of Directors' report, the Auditor’s report, the Internal Shariah Supervisory Board’s report, the company's balance sheet, and the profit and loss account for the year ending December 31, 2024.

The document outlines the financial situation of Takaful Emarat – Insurance (PSC) as of April 8, 2025, in accordance with the SCA Board of Directors’ Decision No. (32/R.M.) of 2019. This decision requires companies with accumulated losses of 20% or more of their paid-up capital to comply with specific procedures. For the year 2024, Takaful Emarat reported accumulated losses of AED 43,289,000, representing 20.6% of its paid-up capital. The losses began in 2019 due to higher-than-expected medical claims and lower investment returns, compounded by a merger and acquisition project, asset revaluation, and restated financial statements from 2020 to 2022. To address these losses, the company reduced its accumulated losses by setting off against share capital amounting to AED 124.3 million and issued 185 million ordinary shares through a rights issue in late 2024. This resulted in a positive shift in shareholders' equity from a deficit of AED 39.7 million in 2023 to equity of AED 163.2 million in 2024. The company also implemented a business plan aimed at writing profitable business and adopted new investment strategies, achieving a net investment income of AED 32 million in 2024, a 106% increase from 2023. Furthermore, Takaful revenue grew by 84% to AED 420 million compared to the previous year.

The company will announce the results of its Board meeting from March 21, 2025, once it receives regulatory approval for its financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2024.
