Last year saw 17 public offerings with a total of 680.91 million shares and a value of SAR 31.42 billion. This excluded the shares offered to Saudi institutional investors in Americana Restaurants International’s dual-class IPO.
The group offered 252.7 million shares to retail investors in Saudi Arabia, representing 10% of the total offering. Meanwhile, 2.0217 billion shares, or 80% of the total, were allocated to institutional investors in Saudi Arabia and the UAE, without specifying the size of the offering in the Kingdom.
Excluding the shares offered to institutional investors in Americana’s IPO, 2022 public offerings were historically the highest in the market in terms of quantity and value after 2019 IPOs that saw the offering of Saudi Aramco and those of 2008.
