Subscription to Shalfa’s 630,000 shares starts today on Nomu

The subscription period runs for nine days until Oct. 28.

This is the 19th IPO on Nomu this year, as the offering of Al-Hokail Academy Specialized Digital Polyclinics Co. has been cancelled, and Kinan International for Real Estate Development Co. was delayed.

The subscription is limited to certain categories of investors, including capital market institutions authorized to act on their own accounts. This is in addition to clients of capital market institutions authorized to carry out management operations, provided that they are appointed under terms that enable them to take decisions related to accepting participation in the share offering and investment in Nomu on behalf of clients without prior consent. 

The categories include the Saudi government, any government or international entity approved by the CMA, the Saudi market, any other financial market recognized by the CMA, or the Securities Depository Center Co. (Edaa).

They also include companies owned by the government, directly or through a portfolio managed by a person authorized to practice management operations. This is in addition to investment funds, companies, and funds established in the GCC countries.

Additionally, the qualified investors include any legal person entitled to open investment accounts inside the Kingdom and with Edaa, as well as natural persons allowed to open investment accounts inside the Kingdom and with Edaa, provided they fulfill certain criteria, including the below:
