(RESRECO) (a closed joint stock company), in which ARTEX owns a 15% equity stake, signed on June 21 a binding memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Ethar Holding (a closed joint stock company), under which Ethraa intends to acquire 100% of RESRECO's shares. In a statement on Tadawul, ARTEX said the full value of the investment had already been written off in the most recent audited financial statements dated December 31, 2024. The MoU will remain valid for 60 days from the signing date and may be extended upon written agreement between both parties. The company added that the completion of the transaction is subject to the buyer's satisfactory completion of due diligence—covering financial, legal, operational, and technical aspects—and to obtaining all relevant regulatory approvals. If the due diligence results are positive, all shareholders—including ARTEX—will be obligated to complete the transaction in accordance with the final terms to be negotiated and signed in a comprehensive share purchase agreement.

Pakistan regulator advises oil companies to maintain 20-day stocks as Iran-Israel conflict escalates
ISLAMABAD: The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) confirmed on Sunday it has advised oil marketing companies to maintain their mandatory 20-day stock levels, clarifying the country holds 'sufficient stocks' of petroleum products as the Iran-Israel conflict intensifies. Local media outlets reported this week that Pakistani authorities have accelerated oil imports as the Iran-Israel conflict rages on. The conflict took a turn for the worse early Sunday after the US military struck three sites in Iran, inserting itself into Israel's war aimed at destroying the country's nuclear program in a risky gambit that could spark a wider regional conflict. Experts have warned of spiraling inflation and global oil supply constraints due to the ongoing Middle East conflict. Concern is focused on potential disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, through which roughly one‑fifth of global oil transits, and weak supply growth from Iran, which produces about 3.3 million barrels per day. Analysts caution any sustained spike could drive up global freight rates, insurance premiums and inflation, particularly in energy‑importing countries like Pakistan. 'The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) has confirmed that the country currently holds sufficient stocks of petroleum products to meet existing demand,' OGRA spokesperson Imran Ghaznavi said in a statement. 'However, in view of anticipated future requirements and the prevailing market situation, OGRA has formally advised all Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) to ensure the maintenance of their mandatory 20-day stock levels, in line with the conditions stipulated in their respective licenses.' The spokesperson said OGRA remains committed to monitoring the ongoing situation in the Middle East closely and will continue to take 'proactive steps' to ensure national energy security. Pakistan relies heavily on imported oil, meaning that any sustained spike in prices could widen its current account deficit and push inflation higher at a time when the country is struggling with low foreign reserves and slow growth. The Israel-Iran conflict started on June 13 when Israel launched a massive wave of attacks targeting Iranian nuclear and military facilities but also hitting residential areas, sparking retaliation and fears of a broader regional conflict. Over 400, mostly civilians have been killed in Iran so far, while Israel has reported 24 civilian deaths in retaliatory strikes by Tehran and over 1,200 injured. Pakistan has condemned Israel's strikes against Iran and has called on world powers to intervene for an immediate ceasefire in the Middle East through dialogue and diplomacy.
