According to CISI UAE Financial Rules and Regulations, a public joint-stock company is automatically barred from executing a buyback transaction if it issued shares in a public offer in the last six months. This regulatory restriction is designed to prevent market manipulation and protect shareholders’ interests by ensuring sufficient market stability following a new share issuance. Buybacks shortly after public offerings could distort share prices or unfairly affect market liquidity. Other conditions like being an insurance company or state-designated firm do not automatically preclude buybacks under these regulations. This rule aligns with international corporate governance best practices governing share repurchases.
