In order to expand its market size in Saudi Arabia, the UAE-based telecom firm Etisalat is looking to increase its stake in the Saudi subsidiary Etihad Etisalat Co., also known as Mobily.

Etisalat Group currently holds a 28-percent stake in Saudi-listed Mobily and it plans to see this going up to 50 percent.

The Abu Dhabi-based firm, formally known as Emirates Telecommunication Group Co., has proposed a price of SR47 per share ($12.5), a bourse filing revealed.

This comes as Etisalat aims to expand its footprint in the Kingdom, and “deepen the strong existing ties with Mobily.”
