Balsm Alofoq Medical priced its Nomu IPO at SAR 60 per share, after its offering was nearly 17x covered, lead advisor Yaqeen Capital said in a Tadawul filing. The final pricing sees the medical firm raising SAR 15 mn in proceeds, giving it a market cap of SAR 75 mn at listing, according to EnterpriseAM calculations. The Buraidah-based hospital operator took a 25% stake to Tadawul’s parallel market in a primary offering that was limited to qualified investors.

Use of proceeds: SAR 2.35 mn of the offering’s proceeds will go towards covering IPO-related expenses.
