Dubai, UAE: Al Mal Capital REIT (AMC REIT), the first REIT listed on the Dubai Financial Market (DFM), licensed and regulated by the Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA), and managed by Al Mal Capital PSC, a subsidiary of Dubai Investments PJSC, today announced the official opening of the subscription period for its Follow-on Public Offering (FPO).
The FPO, approved by the SCA, aims to raise up to AED 242 million by issuing up to 220 million new units priced at AED 1.125 per unit, including AED 0.025 subscription fee. The FPO is open to retail and institutional investors across the UAE and GCC, with the subscription period running from 7 July to 25 July 2025.
Al Mal Capital REIT has a proven and stable track record, having delivered a 7% distributed return since 2023, supported by 100% portfolio occupancy with stable lease rentals and a Weighted Average Unexpired Lease Term (WAULT) of approximately 20 years. The REIT continues to target consistent returns of approximately 7% for investors. The strategic capital raised through the FPO will be used to enhance the REIT’s portfolio by acquiring additional income-generating assets in resilient sectors such as healthcare, education, and mission-critical industrials, further enhancing the REIT’s growth and diversification.
To preserve ownership and minimise dilution, a priority allocation will be available to existing investors in the register of unitholders as of the Record Date (26 June 2025).

The new units are expected to be allocated between 1-8 August 2025, with trading of the same units anticipated to commence on the Dubai Financial Market approximately between (DFM) 8-15 August 2025, subject to regulatory approvals.
