Unicorn Investment sponsors Formula BMW hopeful

Bahrain, 15 December 2005 - Unicorn Investment Bank hopes to be first past the chequered flag with Formula BMW World Final hopeful Sebastien Buemi when he takes to the Bahrain International Circuit tomorrow.

Unicorn is sponsoring 17-year-old Sebastien as he takes to the circuit in the inaugural World Final, alongside 36 other contenders who will all be vying for the title of “World’s Best Formula BMW Driver of the Year”.The young Swiss Italian aspires to be a Formula 1 driver and his tremendous track record, mostly recently coming second in this year’s BMW ADAC Champioship, means his aspirations could soon be realised.

Majid Al-Sayed Bader Al-Refai, Chief Executive Officer of Unicorn Investment Bank, commented: “Sebastien and Unicorn have a shared vision. Both aspire to be the most agile and innovative in their respective fields. The founding shareholders of Unicorn Investment Bank had a vision of establishing a full-service Islamic investment bank based in Bahrain. Unicorn is therefore proud to be supporting the aspirations of a young talented driver like Sebastien who has come here to achieve his ambitions in Bahrain which is now as much of a centre of excellence in motor racing as it is in banking and finance.
