  • Coefficient LP is investing $10 million and will become Swvl’s largest institutional shareholder at closing; an existing shareholder is adding $3 million, and Coefficient founder Abdalla Ali will join the board.
  • 8,990,317 Class A shares will be issued at $1.446 each in the at-the-market Nasdaq-compliant deal.
