IN CONTEXT- The company is taking a 30% stake — good for 4.8 mn shares — to market as the local IPO market remains busy despite global volatility, with recent offerings drawing solid demand. Marketing Home Group will join peers in the home and lifestyle segment already listed on Tadawul, tapping into a sector that benefits from strong household consumption trends.
What’s next? The subscription window for individual investors opens on Tuesday, 19 August and runs through Wednesday, 20 August. Some 960k ordinary shares — or 20% of the total on offer — are earmarked for the retail tranche.
ADVISORS- Alinma Capital is quarterbacking the transaction as the financial advisor, lead manager, bookrunner, and underwriter, with Stat Law Firm providing counsel. PwC Public Accountants is acting as the financial due diligence advisor, while Euromonitor International is serving as the market consultant.
