The Saudi Arabia Capital Markets Authority (CMA) has approved Cherry Trading Company’s application to register its shares and proceed with an initial public offering of 9,000,000 shares, equal to 30% of the company’s share capital. The prospectus is to be published sufficiently in advance of the subscription period and is expected to include key investor information such as financial statements, business activities and management, as well as risk factors. The CMA noted that its approval is not a recommendation to subscribe, but a confirmation that the legal requirements under the Capital Market Law and its Implementing Regulations have been met. The approval remains valid for six months from the CMA Board resolution date and will be deemed cancelled if the offering and listing are not completed within that period.
