The Saudi Ceramic Company announced that it has received an official notification from the Natural Gas Distribution Company regarding a temporary suspension of natural gas supplies for a period of eight days, starting from May 1, 2022 corresponding to Ramadan 30, 1443, due to maintenance work in the main supply lines of Aramco. As a result, production in factories will halt during this period, and the halt will be used to carry out periodic maintenance. This will not affect the Company's ability to fulfill its obligations towards customers.

It is expected that the financial impact of this suspension will not be material and depends mainly on the actual duration of the supply interruption. Note that any financial impact will be reflected in the results of the second quarter of 2022.
