The Financial Regulatory Authority issued Board Resolution No. 155 of 2021 to amend the phased bond issuance rules under Resolution No. 54 of 2014. The revised provisions mandate a minimum thirteen-month maturity for each bond tranche and require bondholder group approval for repayment adjustments, establishing a 50% quorum for meetings (reducible to 25% in a second meeting) and a three-quarters majority for decisions. Additionally, issuers must disclose periodic credit rating certificates within seven days of issuance if a rating change occurs, utilizing designated electronic platforms or the Egyptian Exchange website as applicable.
