20/05/2015 Argaam - Exclusive

Saudi Ground Services Co. (SGS) is expected to set the price for its initial public offering (IPO) between SAR 40 and SAR 50 per share, sources at HSBC Saudi Arabia, the lead manager and financial advisor in the offering, have told Argaam.

 

The book-building process, which determines the final offering price, started on Wednesday and will end on Tuesday, May 26.

 

The offering will run from June 3 to June 9. Argaam reported earlier this month on the company’s plan to sell 30 percent of its capital in the offering, or 56.4 million shares.

 

Once the IPO is completed, SGS will mark the third listing on Tadawul this year.
