Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – 04 June 2025: Specialized Medical Company (“Company” or “SMC”), one of the leading healthcare providers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (“Kingdom”), recognized as a center of excellence delivering comprehensive and integrated healthcare services across a wide range of specialties, announces the successful completion of the book-building process for institutional investors (“Participating Parties”) and the final offer price (the “Final Offer Price”) for its initial public offering (the “IPO” or the “Offering”) on the Main Market of the Saudi Exchange.
The Final Offer Price has been set at SAR 25.00 per share, which is at the top end of the previously announced price range for the IPO, implying a total offering size of around SAR 1,875 million (USD 500 million) and a market capitalization at listing of SAR 6,250 million (USD 1,667 million). The orders recorded during the institutional book-building exceeded SAR 121.3 billion (approximately more than USD 32.4 billion), representing a coverage of 64.7 times.
In line with regulatory requirements, SMC issued a Second Supplementary Prospectus reflecting a shareholder decision to revoke previously distributed interim dividends. Following this, the institutional book-building was reopened exclusively to existing institutional participants, offering them the opportunity to amend or rescind their bids.
SMC received strong level of investor engagement since the publication of the Second Supplementary Prospectus. The deliberate and strategic decision taken by SMC’s shareholders reinforces their confidence in the IPO and their belief in the Company’s long-term value creation potential for both current and future shareholders.
The subscription period for Individual Subscribers will commence on Sunday, 15/06/2025G (corresponding to 19/12/1446H), and ends at 2:00 PM (KSA time) of Monday, 16/06/2025G (corresponding to 20/12/1446H).
Bassam Chahine, Chief Executive Officer of Specialized Medical Company (SMC), commented: “Reaching the top end of the price range is a clear vote of confidence in SMC’s performance, vision, and growth strategy. It marks a significant milestone in our journey from a single day-surgery center to one of Riyadh’s leading private healthcare providers. This IPO sets the stage for our next phase of expansion as we double our capacity, deepen our presence in high-growth areas like Northern Riyadh, and continue to redefine healthcare delivery in the Kingdom.”
