We have an active deployment pipeline focused on K-12 opportunities in the UAE and KSA and continue to explore options to realize significant shareholder value across the portfolio, including through potential monetization events.” Amanat’s Acting Chief Executive Officer, John Ireland, added:
“Our portfolio experienced strong growth in the first nine months of 2023, delivering a 44% increase in revenue, driven in particular by our education platform which saw significant student enrolment growth across both our higher education and special needs businesses.
