Institutional investors will be allowed to compete for 95% of the 362.9 mn shares on offer — representing 20.8% of the company — until the institutional subscription round closes on 10 July, according to the IPO prospectus. Institutional investors will be able to acquire a minimum of EGP 10 mn, while high-net worth individuals can subscribe to the private placement tranche with a minimum of EGP 1 mn.
Retail investors will be able to buy up 5% of the shares on offer — representing some 1.1% of the company — until the close of the public offering on 15 July. Retail investors will be able to acquire a minimum of 100 shares and a maximum of 200k shares with a 30-day, 100% share price stability mechanism. The final offering price will be announced on July 11.
Bonyan’s entrance onto the EGX marks the only proper IPO of the year, in addition to being the first pure-play real estate operating company to list on the local bourse ever.
The real estate player will also embark on a EGP 250 mn capital increase, which will be done through a closed subscription from sole shareholder Sky Realty Holding across 50.4 mn shares.
ADVISORS- CI Capital and Arqaam Capital are leading the IPO as coordinators and bookrunners, with Mubasher acting as the offering agent. Matouk Bassiouny & Hennawy is serving as counsel, Baker Tilly is acting as the independent financial advisor, and PwC as auditor.
