Alkem Laboratories Limited has announced an amendment to the Shareholders’ Agreement (SHA) for its joint venture (JV) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This amendment, approved by the Board of Directors on February 13, 2026, involves a change in the JV partner holding the remaining 49% stake.
Previously, on August 12, 2025, Alkem Laboratories had entered into an SHA with Mr. Abdulaziz Alsheikh, a Saudi Arabian national, for the incorporation of a subsidiary in Saudi Arabia. Under the original agreement, Alkem Laboratories would hold 51% of the total share capital, with Mr. Alsheikh holding the remaining 49% post-incorporation.
The amendment now stipulates that Vitals Biotech Company, a wholly-owned entity of the JV Partner, will hold the 49% share capital of the JV instead of Mr. Abdulaziz Alsheikh directly. The company has also confirmed that this information is available on its website, www.alkemlabs.com.
