On September 15, 2026, Ataa Educational Company's board recommended shareholders approve a share buyback program for up to 2,104,360 ordinary shares. The company plans to fund the repurchase through its own resources, keeping the purchased shares as treasury stock. The board assessed that the market price of Ataa's shares trades below fair value, leading to this buyback recommendation.

Shareholder approval will be sought at an Extraordinary General Assembly, with the exact date yet to be announced. The program is subject to approval by the Extraordinary General Assembly and meeting solvency requirements under Saudi corporate regulations. Share repurchases will carry no voting rights, potentially concentrating voting power among existing shareholders.
