If fully subscribed, the transaction could see the selling shareholders rake in SAR 31.2 mn in proceeds, and it would give the company a market cap of SAR 260 mn at listing.

What’s next? The subscription period will run between 26-29 May, during which qualified investors can each book a minimum of 10 shares and a maximum of c. 1 mn. The final allocation of shares is slated for Monday, 2 June.
