Moroccan oil refiner Samir said it has won the backing of its extraordinary general assembly to increase its capital to $1.04 billion.

The country’s sole oil refiner said that its top stakeholder, Corral Petroleum Holdings, will provide $672 million and more if minority stakeholders do not subscribe to the increase.
