Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Insights
Anghami’s controlling shareholder has floated a cash going‑private proposal, now under independent committee review.
The key development is OSN Streaming Limited’s preliminary, non-binding offer to buy Anghami’s remaining ordinary shares at $3.39 per share in cash. OSN already owns about 67% of outstanding shares and says the transaction would not be subject to a financing condition, indicating funding support from its own shareholders and affiliates.
In response, the board appointed three new independent directors and formed a special committee composed solely of these members. This committee can hire its own legal and financial advisors, evaluate strategic alternatives and negotiate or reject the proposal, which is important for minority shareholder protection in a controller-led transaction.
The filing stresses that there is no assurance a definitive offer, agreement or closing will occur, and any deal would still need special committee, board and required shareholder approvals. Subsequent company filings and disclosures would be the place where any agreed price, structure or timing for a transaction, if reached, would be detailed.

ABU DHABI, UAE – 30 June 2026, Anghami Inc. (NASDAQ: ANGH) (“Anghami” or the “Company”) today confirmed receipt of a preliminary, non-binding proposal (the “Proposal”) from OSN Streaming Limited (“OSN”), the Company’s controlling shareholder, to acquire all of the outstanding ordinary shares (the “Ordinary Shares”) of the Company not already owned by OSN in a going-private transaction.
OSN’s proposed purchase price is $3.39 in cash per Ordinary Share (the “Offer Price”). OSN currently owns approximately 67% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares. OSN has indicated that it expects to fund the acquisition with equity or other financing from its shareholders and their affiliates, and that the acquisition will not be subject to a financing condition. A copy of the proposal letter from OSN is available as an exhibit to OSN’s statement of beneficial ownership on Schedule 13D/A as publicly filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In connection with receipt of the Proposal, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has appointed three new directors: Nathan Scott Fine, Guergui Saykov Stoyanov and Chiara Marcati. The Board has determined that each of the foregoing directors is independent under the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, has no material relationship with OSN or interest in the Proposal, and is not an employee, affiliate or nominee of OSN.
Mr. Fine is an ex-officio (non-voting) Director and Vice Chairman of Rafael Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: RFL). Previously, Mr. Fine served as Chief Executive Officer of Cyclo Therapeutics, LLC (formerly Cyclo Therapeutics, Inc., which since March 2025 has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rafael Holdings, Inc.).

Since 2014, he has served on the Board of Kenon Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: KEN), where he serves as Chair of its Compensation Committee and is a member of its Audit Committee. He previously served as Vice Chairman and Chairman of the Restructuring Committee of Pacific Drilling SA from 2017 to 2018 and as a Director of Central European Distribution Corporation from 1996 until 2014. Mr. Fine attended New Hampshire College.
Mr. Stoyanov is the Founder and CEO of StoGeo, a global advisory firm focused on business strategy and next-generation leadership, a position he has held since 2008. Prior to his current role, Mr. Stoyanov served as Partner and Head of Markets at Grant Thornton UAE, and previously held senior positions at EY and PwC in the Middle East, with over 25 years of experience in management consulting, corporate governance, and risk management. Mr. Stoyanov is a Certified Six Sigma Black Belt, Certified Internal Auditor, and Certified Financial Consultant. He holds a Master of Business Administration from London Business School and dual Bachelor of Science degrees in International Business Management and Psychology from the University of Maryland.
Ms. Marcati serves as Chief Advisory and Business Officer at AI71, a UAE-headquartered company building agentic, sovereign-grade AI platforms, where she leads strategy, ecosystem partnerships, and public-sector advisory. Previously, she was a Partner at McKinsey & Company, where she led the QuantumBlack AI practice across EMEA and built a 100+ person AI hub delivering applied AI solutions at scale. Ms. Marcati is a frequent speaker on AI governance and transformation, with keynote appearances at global forums including LEAP and the AI Global Summit. She holds degrees in Engineering and Business from the University of Pisa, HEC Paris, and NYU Stern.
In response to the Proposal, the Board has formed a special committee (the “Special Committee”) composed solely of the three newly appointed independent and disinterested directors, Nathan Scott Fine (Chairman), Guergui Saykov Stoyanov and Chiara Marcati, to review, evaluate and negotiate the Proposal and any potential strategic alternatives, and to determine the course of action that is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders that are not affiliated with OSN. The Special Committee has been authorized to exercise all lawfully delegable powers of the Board in connection with the Proposal, including the authority to retain independent legal and financial advisors to assist it in its review and deliberations.
The Special Committee has full authority to evaluate, negotiate and, if it determines appropriate, to reject the Proposal. The Company will not approve or enter any transaction with OSN without the Special Committee’s prior favorable recommendation. Any such transaction would also remain subject to final approval of the Board and to any required approval of the Company’s shareholders. The Special Committee is under no obligation to recommend or approve any transaction, and the Company may continue as a publicly listed company.
There can be no assurance that any definitive offer will be made or accepted, that any agreement will be executed, or that the proposed transaction or any other transaction will be approved or consummated. The Company does not intend to disclose further developments regarding this matter unless and until further disclosure is determined to be appropriate or necessary. No action is required by Anghami shareholders at this time.
