Chimera bought 55.9% of Beltone at 1.485 Egyptian pounds a share, valuing the company at 661.8 million pounds ($34.6 million), according to Reuters calculations.
Beltone announced on Tuesday that Dalia Khorshid, Egypt's former investment minister, would be its new chief executive officer.
Founded in 2016, Beltone is a financial services company that offers brokerage, investment banking, asset management, equity research and non-banking financial services in Egypt and the Middle East and North Africa.
Chimera was set up in 2007 and is part of Abu Dhabi's Royal Group, which is owned by Sheikh Tahnoun bin Zayed Al Nahyan, who is the United Arab Emirates' national security adviser and a half brother of the country's president, Mohammed bin Zayed.
"We will, over the coming period, look to unlock value and implement an all-encompassing transformation plan, aimed at restoring growth and profitability to Beltone," Chimera Chairman Syed Basar Shueb said in a statement.
Beltone has posted net losses each year since 2018. In the first quarter of this year, it reported 3.8 million Egyptian pounds in net profit.
"I am confident that we will restructure and grow this institution to become a major market leader in the region and a solid platform for attracting international investments into our host markets," Khorshid said in the same statement.
