Emaar Malls PJSC appointed board member Mohammed Hadi Ahmed Al Hussaini chairman of its board of directors.
Hussaini replaced Mohamed Ali Alabbar, who will retain his seat on the board.
The move is in accordance with a ruling that restricts a person from holding the position of chairman or vice chairman in more than two companies in the country. Alabbar also serves as board chairman of Emaar Properties PJSC's development arm, Emaar Development PJSC.
