FILE 01 / KWIN–ENTAD–ASSIUT

The company
that owned part of its owner.

A public-record reconstruction of a circular ownership loop, a “cash” takeover that left a large bidder receivable, an abandoned take-private, a two-floor property gain, and nearly EGP 80 million of parent shares released into abnormal market liquidity.

The story in
four numbers.

The numbers are real. Their dates and accounting meaning matter just as much as their size.

About EGP 79.93m of estimated gross consideration at a weighted average near EGP 84.50. The quantity equaled roughly 90% of the public float estimated before the sell-down.

Gross proceeds are not the same as accounting profit.

Every entity.
Every flow.

Six companies, one family consortium and one bank. Solid lines are ownership and confirmed cash. The amber dashed line is the route the public record does not establish.

Complete KWIN, ENTAD, ADIB, Assiut and consortium ownership and money map ADIB Egypt holds 64.75 percent of KWIN and 40 percent of ENTAD. KWIN holds 51.22 percent of ENTAD while ENTAD held 25.25 percent of KWIN, forming a circular loop. KWIN controls 89.46 percent of Assiut Agricultural; ENTAD controls about 99.77 percent of the AARE real-estate company, which has negative equity. AITG, delisted in July 2021, sold EGP 24.25 million of stakes to KWIN and EGP 11.87 million to ENTAD in 2023. The Abu El-Eyoun consortium paid EGP 139.32 million for AITG in a 2021 cash tender offer, and KWIN was still owed EGP 34.69 million by the lead bidder at the end of 2021. Between September 2025 and July 2026 ENTAD released 945,911 KWIN shares into the public float for about EGP 79.93 million.

  • Ownership & control
  • The circular loop and the shares released from it
  • Confirmed cash consideration
  • Balance owed — repayment route not established
Read it as one sentence: a bank sat above a listed company that controlled the private company which, in turn, was one of its own largest shareholders. The consortium bought AITG for cash, yet KWIN was still owed EGP 34.69m by the lead bidder at year-end. AITG then sold its remaining stakes back into that same group, and the loop was finally converted into roughly EGP 79.93m of outside cash.
The structural fact

ADIB + ENTAD held 89.99619% of KWIN.

9,449,600 of 10.5m shares — 400 shares below the 90% level at which a minority shareholder may petition FRA under Article 357. Notable precision; not proof of intent.

The unresolved joint

The amber line is the whole case.

KWIN's audited accounts confirm the debt and confirm it nearly vanished in 2023. What they do not show is where the money came from. Bank ledgers and the 26 January 2021 agreements decide it.

What the map is not

A diagram is not an allegation.

Circular ownership, seller credit, a block below 90% and a sale below 5% are each lawful on their own. The map shows why the combination deserves the documents, not that a rule was broken.

02 / What was the market paying for?

A billion-pound quote.
A much smaller book.

KWIN is an investment company, so assets, liabilities, subsidiary ownership, treasury shares, and minority interests are central to the valuation story.

What one share price is actually valuing

All three bars measure KWIN. They differ only in whether subsidiary-held parent shares are removed, and whether the answer comes from the screen or from the book.

  • Quoted market capitalisationAll 10.5m issued shares × EGP 99.49 EGP 1,044.65m 100%
  • Effective value, circle removed8.795m externally held shares, after ENTAD's stake EGP 875.01m 83.8%

  • Market-based measures
  • Book-based measure (estimate)

At the midpoint, the quoted capitalisation is about 7.69× the estimated look-through NAV, and the circle-adjusted value about 6.44×. The NAV figure is an estimate built from 30 June 2025 audited equity plus the parent's 51.22% claim on ENTAD's share-sale cash — it excludes Q2 2026 results, tax and settlement costs, and any property revaluation.

Confirmed fact

The ownership circle changes the denominator.

ENTAD still held 1,705,078 KWIN shares after the July 2026 sale. Removing subsidiary-held parent shares leaves about 8.795m externally/economically outstanding shares and an adjusted quoted value near EGP 875.01m at EGP 99.49.

Interpretation

High quoted value is not proof of manipulation.

A very small float can reprice an entire company through a limited number of trades. That can make the screen valuation fragile or speculative, but order-level and beneficial-owner evidence is required to prove market manipulation.

03 / The economic map

The ownership
loop.

From 30 April 2023, KWIN controlled ENTAD while ENTAD remained a major shareholder in KWIN. ADIB sat above both.

KWIN, ENTAD, ADIB and Assiut ownership relationships ADIB owns 64.75 percent of KWIN and 40 percent of ENTAD. KWIN owns 51.22 percent of ENTAD. ENTAD held 25.25 percent of KWIN after its March 2023 purchase. KWIN also reached 89.46 percent of Assiut Agricultural.

The consequence: ADIB and ENTAD together held 9,449,600 KWIN shares—89.99619% of the company, only 400 shares below 90%. The precision is notable; it is not proof that a threshold was intentionally evaded.
KWIN's register · 10,500,000 shares

How close the group stopped to 90%

At its peak the related block held 9,449,600 shares. The bar is the whole company; the marker is the level at which a qualifying minority shareholder may petition FRA for a buy-out offer under Article 357.

90% · Article 357
  • ADIB Egypt · 64.75% — 6,798,611 shares
  • ENTAD · 25.25% — 2,650,989 shares
  • Public float · 10.004%

Combined, ADIB and ENTAD held 89.99619% — short of 90% by 400 shares, roughly four ten-thousandths of one per cent. ADIB's own December 2023 takeover disclosure gave a slightly different 89.992%, a 440-share discrepancy that may be timing, rounding or an inconsistency. The proximity is meaningful context; it is not evidence that the threshold was deliberately managed.

ENTAD's register · 4,690,831 shares

And who owns the other side of the loop

KWIN's 51.22% and ADIB's 40% leave roughly 8.79% of ENTAD unaccounted for in most write-ups. The registered capital table names it.

  • KWIN · 51.22% — 2,402,663 shares
  • ADIB Egypt · 39.99% — 1,875,631 shares
  • Servico (سيرفيكو) · 7.39% — 346,862 shares
  • Individual shareholders · 1.40% — 65,678 shares

The residual is Servico — Youth for Investment & General Services (شركة الشباب للاستثمار والخدمات العامة) — plus a small retail tail. Servico is the same counterparty that sold KWIN its first 762,646 ENTAD shares in 2015 at EGP 13.57; it kept 346,862. It is also inside the loop: ENTAD's own 2019 investment note carried 604,025 Servico shares, written down to nil — so ENTAD and Servico hold each other too.

Source, read directly: the table is on page 11 of the fair-value report on ENTAD's share prepared by Moore Stephens Egypt for Financial Services, an independent financial advisor licensed by the FRA (no. 1733), commissioned by Alexandria for Investment & Securities and built on ENTAD's audited 31 December 2019 accounts. The document is filed on the EGX site as bulletin attachment 244058_3. The same report records that ENTAD "does not currently carry out any activities and generated no revenue from operations" — the dormant holding vehicle the rest of this file describes.

How firm is this? The table sums exactly to 4,690,831 shares and rolls forward to 51.2204% for KWIN and 39.985% for ADIB — matching two independently established figures to four decimals, with the residual closing to within 3 shares. ADIB's 40.00% is separately confirmed current at 31 December 2025 and unchanged for a decade, and ADIB's consolidated accounts report its direct-and-indirect ENTAD interest as 73.16%, which is exactly 40.00% + (64.75% × 51.22%) — arithmetic that leaves no room for any other ADIB group company to hold ENTAD shares. The residual sits outside ADIB's perimeter.

As-of caveat: the Servico and individual lines are the registered capital structure as it stood for the 2020 report. No later filing updating those two lines was located, so the residual is either still Servico plus individuals or has since passed to an undisclosed third party. It cannot have gone to KWIN or ADIB, whose stakes are fully accounted for. The report's own percentages are loosely rounded (and it prints 1.50% where the share count gives 1.40%); the share counts are exact.

Accounting

ENTAD’s KWIN shares became group treasury shares.

KWIN’s consolidated accounts deducted the position as treasury shares. IAS 32 normally treats later sale proceeds as cash and an equity movement—not operating profit from the group “selling itself.”

Legal bridge missing

The public filings show two different treatments.

The shares remained visible as an ENTAD shareholder position and appear in meeting arithmetic, while the consolidated accounts treated them as treasury shares. The FRA/EGX interpretation linking those treatments was not located.

What ENTAD does

A private holding and transaction vehicle.

ENTAD held group-company stakes, controlled a real-estate subsidiary, bought and sold KWIN and Assiut-related blocks, and later became KWIN’s controlled subsidiary. None of those functions is inherently illegal.

04 / Master chronology

Twelve years
in one line.

The loop was not hidden or created overnight. It was assembled, reorganized, nearly taken private, and then partially unwound.

  1. The circular structure begins openly.

    FRA approved KWIN’s ENTAD offer. KWIN bought 762,646 ENTAD shares for EGP 10.348m while public reports already described ENTAD as holding about 18.18% of KWIN.

    Confirmed
  2. KWIN authorizes a wider group consolidation.

    Shareholders approved ENTAD and Assiut Agricultural blocks with interested sellers excluded from voting. Some transactions did not execute until 2023.

    Confirmed
  3. The Assiut Islamic cash MTO executes.

    An 11-person consortium acquired 4,888,339 shares at EGP 28.50, total EGP 139.318m. ADIB, KWIN, and ENTAD supplied 91.14% of accepted shares.

    FRA approved
  4. Most of KWIN’s sale price remains a bidder receivable.

    KWIN’s audited accounts showed EGP 34.692m still due from Amr Abu El‑Eyoun—77.96% of KWIN’s EGP 44.500m seller block.

    Unresolved
  5. Assiut’s post-delisting capital reduction stalls.

    EGX moved AITG to the ownership-transfer system because the company had not obtained EGX’s no-objection for a capital reduction.

    Compliance event
  6. AITG sells three residual group stakes back into the network.

    AITG received EGP 36.127m. KWIN simultaneously reached 51.22% of ENTAD; ENTAD reached 25.25% of KWIN; KWIN reached about 89.46% of Assiut Agricultural.

    Confirmed
  7. FRA objects to a blanket related-party authorization.

    The objection cited Listing Rule 39 and Companies Law Executive Regulation Article 217. No completed contract under the authorization was proved.

    Regulator objection
  8. ADIB decides not to submit the KWIN take-private.

    The preliminary EGP 10.50 proposal was never filed or executed. The later EGP 99.49 screenshot price was 9.48× that preliminary number.

    Confirmed
  9. ENTAD’s property subsidiary sells two floors.

    Preliminary EGP 39m became EGP 36m after an area discrepancy. Net book cost was EGP 1.055m; EGP 24m remained receivable at 30 June.

    Audited note
  10. ENTAD releases 945,911 KWIN shares.

    Five sale episodes produced about EGP 79.93m of gross consideration. Every identified sale occurred during abnormal volume.

    Counterparties unknown
  11. FRA records a profit-distribution noncompliance.

    The certified AGM minute expressly cited Companies Law Article 41 and Executive Regulation Article 196.

    Compliance finding
  12. KWIN trades at EGP 99.49 after a no-news run.

    KWIN said it knew no reason for the July price movement. The chart was extraordinary; the public record still lacked a matching growth catalyst.

    No issuer catalyst
Episodes, not a continuous series

The ninefold move happened in separate bursts

Each row is one documented episode and the prices inside it. The gaps between rows are real months of trading that the located record does not reconstruct, so the rows are deliberately not joined into a single line.

Filled dots are official closes; open dots are the other end of the episode, including intraday highs. Two reference levels sit almost on top of each other at the far left: ADIB's proposed take-private price of EGP 10.50 and its own Q1 2024 fair-value study at EGP 10.93. From the EGP 10.26 pre-announcement benchmark, EGP 99.49 is 9.70×. The first doubling had a disclosed catalyst; the located record contains no comparable operating catalyst for the rest.

05 / Where the 2025 profit came from

Two floors.
Most of the headline.

The striking part is the accounting gap and incomplete collection—not evidence of money laundering or an unfair price.

What the statements actually say

  • 25 Jan 2025

    Preliminary contract for EGP 39m.

  • 2 Jun 2025

    Engineering measurement found an area discrepancy; final price fell to EGP 36m.

  • 30 Jun 2025

    EGP 12m had been collected; EGP 24m remained in debtors from sale of fixed assets.

  • FY 2025

    KWIN reported EGP 42.361m consolidated net profit including non-controlling interests.

The EGP 34.945m pre-tax gain is 82.49% of the EGP 42.361m net-profit headline as a simple magnitude comparison. It is not a clean recurring-profit bridge because the two figures sit on different tax and attribution bases.

FY 2025 · EGP 42.361m consolidated net profit

One property sale, then everything else

The lower bar is not a second measure — it is the violet segment above it, broken down again by who economically owns it. KWIN held only 51.22% of ENTAD, the company that booked the gain.

  • Two-floor property gain · EGP 34.945m (82.49%)
  • All other group profit · EGP 7.416m
  • …of which KWIN owners' economic share · ≈EGP 17.899m

Both percentages are simple magnitude comparisons, not tax-adjusted attributions. Roughly EGP 17.046m of the gain belonged to ENTAD's outside shareholders, so under half of KWIN's headline profit was economically the parent's. Estimated recurring owner profit, once the property gain is removed, is only about EGP 3.80–7.42m — which is why the 571% headline growth should not be capitalised as a growth rate.

ENTAD's holding in KWIN · % of 10.5m shares

A round trip, not an exit

ENTAD bought one large block in March 2023, held it through the price run, then released it across five sessions — ending almost exactly where it began.

ENTAD's percentage holding in KWIN, January 2023 to July 2026 ENTAD held 16.4067 percent until March 2023, when a block purchase raised it to 25.2475 percent. Five sales between September 2025 and July 2026 reduced it to 16.2388 percent, close to the original level. 0% 10% 20% 2023 2024 2025 2026 25.2475% peak, after the 928,287-share block 16.4067% — where ENTAD started 16.2388% after 16 Jul 2026 500,000 shares first sale, Sep 2025

Net of everything, ENTAD's stake fell by only 0.17 of a percentage point across three and a half years — but the shares released on the way down realised roughly EGP 79.93m, against the EGP 11.87m the March 2023 block cost. Shares are fungible, so the public record cannot prove which accounting lots were sold; this is a benchmark, not a verified realised profit.

KWIN Article 30 forms · free-float shareholders

The shares went to a crowd, not a buyer

No new holder at or above 5% ever appeared. But the official ownership forms record something the Article 29 filings cannot: the number of people holding KWIN's free float roughly tripled across the same window ENTAD was selling.

  • 31 Dec 2024before the sell-down 493 holders9.996% free float · 1,049,620 sh
  • 31 Mar 2025before the sell-down 491 holders9.996% free float · 1,049,620 sh
  • 31 Mar 2026after Sep-25 → Jan-26 sales 1,089 holders12.106% free float · 1,271,084 sh
  • 30 Jun 2026after the 500,000-share sale 1,459 holders16.725% free float · 1,756,084 sh

In the June 2026 quarter alone the register gained 370 free-float holders while the locked block fell by exactly 485,000 shares — precisely 97% of ENTAD's 500,000-share sale, the portion the retention rules count as restricted. Between March 2025 and June 2026 the free-float holder count went from 491 to 1,459.

This is the strongest public evidence yet on the counterparty question, and it points away from a single accumulator: the 30 June 2026 form lists only two holders at or above 5% — ADIB at 64.75% and ENTAD at 19.09% — with the treasury-share line blank. It does not prove the buyers were unrelated to each other; coordinated accounts each held below 5% would look identical on this form. Only beneficial-owner records can separate those cases.

One further detail the forms make plain: at both 31 December 2024 and 31 March 2025 KWIN's free float stood at 9.99638% — marginally under the 10% level the company had acted in 2020 to reach.

Is the float 16% or 19%? Both — they are different dates and different definitions.

Two figures appear across this report and they are not in conflict:

  • 16.725% is the filed Article-30 free float at 30 June 2026, which is before the 16 July sale. The form's method is total shares minus everything held for retention — ADIB's whole 64.75%, 97% of ENTAD's stake, and 380 frozen shares. The remaining 3% of ENTAD's holding counts as float, which is why this runs slightly above a simple outside-the-block count.
  • ≈19% is the pool sitting outside the ADIB + ENTAD block after the 16 July sale: 10,500,000 − 6,798,611 − 1,705,078 = 1,996,311 shares, 19.01%.

On the same date the two measures are close but not identical — at 30 June the outside-the-block pool was 16.16% against the filed 16.72%. Applying the form's own method after the July sale would give roughly 19.5%, but no form covering that quarter has been filed yet, so this report uses 19.01% and labels it as the outside-the-block figure.

What it establishes

ENTAD repeatedly used deep liquidity to reduce a concentrated position.

The first four episodes were followed by lower closes over available short windows. July 2026 was the exception: KWIN later rose to EGP 99.49.

The counterparty puzzle

The largest block was 4.7619% of KWIN.

That is 25,000 shares below 5%. A zero-position buyer could take it without crossing 5%. The 30 June 2026 ownership form confirms none appeared — only ADIB and ENTAD are listed. The holder count, however, jumped by 370 in the same quarter.

What it does not establish

No public manipulation mechanism was found.

Abnormal volume plus well-timed sales are surveillance triggers. They do not prove coordinated orders, wash trades, inside information, undisclosed promotion, or common beneficial ownership.

07 / The Assiut cash-offer anomaly

A cash tender.
A large debtor.

The takeover was formal and FRA-approved. The unresolved question is the financing arrangement that sat behind KWIN’s seller block.

Highest-priority missing agreement

Why could a cash offer leave 77.96% of KWIN’s price outstanding?

Lawful possibilities include a separate seller loan after EGX settlement, a disclosed deferred-payment arrangement, an assignment or set-off, or an accounting presentation in which cash passed through settlement but KWIN retained a claim against Amr Abu El‑Eyoun.

FRA’s surviving approval pages expressly reference major-shareholder agreements dated 26 January 2021 and a bidder undertaking dated 22 February 2021. Their terms are not present in the available public archive.

The 2023 asset sales and the parallel fall in the bidder receivable In 2023 AITG sold three legacy stakes: two to KWIN for EGP 24.254 million and one to ENTAD for EGP 11.873 million, receiving EGP 36.127 million in total. In the same year the amount Amr Abu El-Eyoun owed KWIN fell by EGP 31.328 million. No public document connects the two.

  • The connection the public record does not make
Both ends are audited. The middle is not. AITG genuinely received EGP 36.127m for its remaining stakes, and Amr's debt to KWIN genuinely fell by EGP 31.328m in the same year — a difference of only EGP 4.799m. What no public document shows is whether one paid for the other. Bank ledgers, shareholder-loan accounts and any set-off agreement decide it.

The timing and scale are compatible with a repayment, assignment, or set-off route. They do not prove that AITG financed its own takeover, distributed the proceeds to the family, or that the transactions lacked corporate benefit. Bank ledgers and agreements decide that question.

The published maximum-allocation table shows the intended structure. Because the offer was not completely filled, it does not prove every person received the maximum.

Confirmed structure

The four 100,000-share sister blocks supplied the majority.

The brothers’ maximum combined stake was about 45.94%. The four identical allocations added 5.984%, mechanically carrying the family above 50%.

The Amr mismatch

His published allocation was EGP 12.977m; KWIN assigned him EGP 44.500m.

That proves Amr’s contractual or financing role was much larger than his stated personal allocation. It does not prove he beneficially owned the whole KWIN seller block.

Longstanding network

The family governance ties predated the takeover by decades.

An ITDA Gazette records Nasser, Amr, Heba, Hind, and Soha on the board of the same unidentified Assiut commercial-register entity from 1998. The exact company name requires a certified register extract.

Missing final allocation

The offer was short by 198,589 shares.

The unavailable post-offer Article 30 filing and MCDR register are needed to determine each bidder’s final shares. “Maximum allocation” must not be presented as the amount every family member actually bought.

09 / Governance audit

The meetings reveal
the contradiction.

Accounting classified ENTAD-held KWIN shares as treasury shares. Official meeting arithmetic appears to count the same block.

9,557,195 shares attended

Exactly ADIB 6,798,611 + ENTAD 2,650,989 + outside holder 107,595. FRA objected to the blanket related-party authorization.

Confirmed objection
9,449,600 shares attended

Exactly ADIB 6,798,611 + ENTAD 2,650,989. If the legal treasury-share restrictions applied, ENTAD’s block should not have counted for attendance, quorum, or voting.

Prima facie question
Specific related-party lease

For an ADIB lease, the minutes expressly excluded both ADIB and ENTAD representatives from voting—showing the company could apply interested-party exclusions.

Positive control
Separate FRA noncompliance

The certified minute cited profit-distribution noncompliance under Companies Law Article 41 and Executive Regulation Article 196.

13 / The fairness test

The facts that weaken
the most dramatic theory.

A credible investigation must preserve exculpatory evidence as carefully as suspicious patterns.

01

The Assiut acquisition was an FRA-approved mandatory cash offer—not an undisclosed private transfer.

02

EGP 28.50 was 27.52% above the EGP 22.35 independent value. The public record does not support “the company was taken cheaply.”

03

The 11-person consortium and its acting-together structure were disclosed at headline level.

04

Seller credit, circular ownership, a 4.7619% sale, and a block at 89.996% are not automatically illegal.

05

ENTAD’s sell-down increased KWIN’s public float, consistent with preserving the listing after the abandoned take-private.

06

A rational large seller naturally waits for high volume to reduce price impact. Good execution timing is not proof that the seller created the volume.

07

KWIN’s accounts received an unmodified audit; the later consolidation correction does not by itself prove intentional misstatement.

08

No public order-level evidence proves a pump-and-dump, wash trading, coordinated accounts, insider dealing, or criminal conduct.

14 / Present conclusion

High-priority governance case.
Insufficient public evidence for fraud.

The strongest unresolved issue is not the 9× chart. It is the gap between a formally approved cash tender and KWIN’s audited EGP 34.69m bidder receivable, now connected to FRA-confirmed pre-offer agreements.

The second issue is the legal treatment and apparent meeting use of ENTAD’s 25.25% parent-company stake after KWIN obtained control. The third is whether the 2023 asset sales and receivable repayment were independent events or one disclosed circular settlement.

The filings reveal an unusually circular and opaque structure. They establish the transactions and numerical coincidences, but the private agreements, bank trail, beneficial-owner records, and post-offer allocation report are still needed to determine what happened economically and whether every rule was followed.
Claims this report does not make
  • “They created money from thin air.”
  • “AITG financed its own takeover.”
  • “The family personally received EGP 36m.”
  • “ENTAD illegally voted treasury shares.”
  • “The KWIN rise was proved to be a pump-and-dump.”
