The institutional portion of Al Majed Oud’s Tadawul IPO was 15.6x oversubscribed, leading the perfume maker to price its IPO at the top of its indicative range at SAR 94 a piece, according to a press release. The final pricing is set to see Al Majed Oud raise SAR 705 mn in proceeds and give it a market cap of SAR 24 bn at listing when it takes a 30% stake to market in a secondary share sale.
What’s next? Retail investors can place their orders starting Sunday, 15 September. 100% of the offering is currently being allocated to institutional investors, but the financial advisor could allocate 20% to retail investors if there is sufficient demand. The final allocation of shares is slated for Thursday, 19 September.
Use of proceeds + lockup: Some SAR 25 mn of the proceeds will go towards covering IPO-related costs, while the rest will be split among the selling shareholders on a pro rata basis. Major shareholders will not be able to sell down their positions for a six-month period starting from the first day of trading. Meanwhile, the company is not allowed to issue or list any additional shares of the same category during the same period.
