Riyadh-based school operator Horizon Educational will ring the opening bell on Tadawul’s parallel market Nomu on Sunday to mark the first day of trading on its shares, Tadawul said in a statement. Horizon Education’s offering was 6.8x oversubscribed as it priced its Nomu IPO at the top of range at SAR 54 per share.

Background: The school operator is taking a 20% stake to Nomu by issuing 500k new shares to finance its expansion plans, acquire new branches, and ramp up its campus capacities.

What to expect on Sunday: Shares will be allowed to trade within a ±30% band in daily price fluctuation limits and a ±10% band in static price fluctuation limits.

Proceeds + market cap: The final price would allow the company to raise SAR 27 mn in IPO proceeds, and would give it a market cap of SAR 135 mn on the first day of trading, according to our calculations.
