Homegrown labor agency Tamkeen HR is taking a 30% stake to Tadawul’s main market in a secondary share sale, it said in a prospectus (pdf). The company lined up Capital Market Authority approval for the move earlier this month.

Institutional investors will be able to subscribe to 100% of the offering, booking a maximum of around 1.3 mn shares and a minimum of 100k shares each. Meanwhile, retail investors may receive up to 20% of the shares on offer if there is sufficient demand. Each retail investor would be allowed to subscribe for a maximum of 250k shares, and a minimum of 10 shares.

Use of proceeds + lockup: Proceeds from the sale will be pocketed by selling shareholders on a pro-rata basis, after some SAR 25 mn are used to cover IPO-related expenses, according to the prospectus. The firm will not receive any of the offering’s proceeds. Substantial shareholders will not be able to sell down their positions for a period of six months starting from the first day of trading.

The timeline:

  • Institutional investors will be able to place their orders starting Sunday, 13 October until Thursday, 17 October;
  • The two-day retail subscription process is slated to start on Tuesday, 5 November;
  • The final allocation of shares will take place on Monday, 11 November;
  • Any excess subscription fees will be refunded by Wednesday, 13 November.
