The state IPO program is moving into a more deliberate, <\/strong>almost <\/strong>pre-emptive phase.<\/strong> The government is preparing to temporarily list the Egyptian General Company for Tourism & Hotels (Egoth), a state-owned legacy player in domestic tourism, and is studying the potential sale of a stake in Misr Travel, a government official tells EnterpriseAM.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the latest in a series of so-called \u201ctemporary listings\u201d on the bourse <\/strong>about which Cabinet has made a lot of noise in recent months.<\/p>\n

So, what\u2019s a temporary listing, exactly? <\/strong>Think of it as a technical staging step where an IPO-hopeful is registered and assigned a ticker \u2014 effectively holding a spot on the exchange but not trading yet. In other words, its shares aren\u2019t floated, no prospectus has been filed, and there\u2019s no fair value study underway, CI Capital head of research Monsef Morsy tells EnterpriseAM.<\/p>\n

Not every company with a temporary listing will necessarily make it onto the trading floor<\/strong>, Morsy tells us. In this geopolitical climate, the final decision to trade will depend almost entirely on macro dynamics in addition to \u201cthe company's sector, its level of profitability, and the performance of management,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

We see the recent listing drive as a bid to keep forward momentum visible and the International Monetary Fund on-side. <\/strong>The move is part of a broader push to expand the state\u2019s temporary listing roster to around 30 companies<\/a> before the fiscal year ends in June. Investment banks including EFG Hermes, CI Capital, Al Ahly Pharos, and Arqaam Capital are reportedly advising<\/a> on issuances under the program. The listings are part of the so-called \u201cfourth phase\u201d of the state\u2019s asset monetization program, which has so far delivered just 7.5% of its USD 1.9 bn target. <\/p>\n

\n

The workaround<\/p>\n

Temporary listings are a workaround of sorts to a big bottleneck in the IPO process.<\/strong> \u201cIt cuts short the timeframe needed to handle the logistics [of an IPO],\u201d Morsy tells us. By pushing 20-30 companies through the listing process now, the government is front-loading the regulatory work, he explains. If the window opens for an actual offering, they\u2019re not starting from scratch \u2014 they\u2019re already halfway there.<\/p>\n

In real terms: This is just an administrative green light. <\/strong>\u201cThe temporary listing is just the starting point for paperwork. When they decide to proceed with an actual IPO, they will appoint an independent financial advisor to value the company and an investment bank to handle the IPO process,\u201d Morsy says \u2014 paving the way for marketing of the transaction to investors on roadshows and the like.<\/p>\n

Coding the shares is the moment a closed company becomes structurally open to the public<\/strong>, Al Ahly Pharos head of research Hany Genena tells EnterpriseAM. Whether the endgame is a capital increase (a new investor pumping in fresh equity, diluting the state) or an exit by existing shareholders (the government cashing out), this coding is a necessary first step.<\/p>\n

\n

The catch<\/p>\n

Temporary listings have a shelf life \u2014 and come with zero promises <\/strong>that a sale of equity will take place. Temporarily listed companies have a six-month window<\/a> (it can be extended) to move forward with an IPO. They\u2019re back to square one if they miss it.<\/p>\n

REFRESHER-<\/strong> This whole setup leans on regulatory tweaks made by the FRA in 2022 that made it easier to get onto the EGX. Companies no longer need prior FRA approval to temporarily list, as long as they meet a stricter governance checklist. That includes minimum female board representation (25%)<\/a>, cumulative voting to protect minority shareholders, separating the Chairman and MD roles, and capping authorized capital at 5x issued capital.<\/p>\n

\n

Meet the (latest) hopefuls<\/p>\n

Misr Travel and Egoth are both owned by the Holding Company for Tourism, Hotels and Cinema.<\/strong> Set up in 1976, Egoth is a hospitality asset manager with a portfolio of some seven hotels<\/a> across the country, including Cosmopolitan Hotel, Cleopatra Hotel and Shepheard Hotel. Misr Travel, founded by Talaat Harb in 1934, is a travel agency<\/a> managing hotel bookings, transportation services and trips across the country, as well as in Jordan. Despite the lack of granular detail on these specific firms yet, the tourism sector is \u201cone of the key sectors\u201d investors will likely find attractive, Morsy tells us.<\/p>\n

The IPO <\/strong>tape has been padded<\/a><\/strong> with names. <\/strong>El Nasr Housing, Sinai Manganese, and Spring and Transport Equipment Manufacturing are players across petrochemicals, metals, construction and the public business sector, all of which likely \u201ctick most of the boxes \u2014 are already profitable in a sector with potential,\u201d Morsy says. Temporary listings of the Egyptian Contracting Company - Mokhtar Ibrahim, Misr Company for Sound and Light, Commercial Company for Wood, and El Nasr Salines are also proceeding, a senior government official tells EnterpriseAM.<\/p>\n

Think of it as a menu (or a hedge), not a schedule: <\/strong>By listing multiple companies from a range of sectors, the government is building optionality, Morsy tells us. The state isn\u2019t locking in a sequence because it\u2019s dealing with \u201ccontinuous changing in the overall [macro] dynamics,\u201d he says. In simple terms: If it finds an investor interested in Company \u201cX,\u201d the time from, \u201cHey, I like that\u201d to \u201cSold\u201d will be faster if the firm already has a listing. <\/p>\n

So, instead of banking on one sector, it\u2019s \u201copening up every sort of company or opportunity\u201d<\/strong> so they can \u201cdecide at a later point which of the companies they\u2019ll start with\u201d based on where demand actually shows up, he said, adding that \u201cthe selection will depend mainly on the macroeconomic situation, which is relatively uncertain regarding commodities, oil prices, and even transportation costs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Who\u2019s most likely to sell? <\/strong>Companies with \u201cexposure to the domestic market and less sensitivity to what\u2019s happening externally\u201d are more likely to make a dash out onto the trading floor \u2014 especially those not heavily reliant on imported inputs, Morsy tells us, pointing to the financial services and fintech sector as the contenders. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
