The transaction will be executed on the first trading session of Valu shares on the Egyptian Exchange at a price per Valu share of EGP 6.041 through the block trade mechanism, following receipt of the necessary approval. Karim Awad, Group CEO of EFG Holding, commented, "We are proud to witness Amazon's decision to acquire a direct stake in Valu, a testament to EFG Holding's proven ability to build greenfield ventures that evolve into pioneering market leaders.

At Valu, we remain unwavering in our commitment to redefining the customer experience through cutting-edge financial solutions that empower individuals and businesses alike, driving both convenience and opportunity in every interaction."
