Saudi Arabia’s Capital Market Authority (CMA) has approved Saleh Abdulaziz Al Rashed & Sons Company’s application to register and offer 5,580,000 shares in an initial public offering, representing 30% of the company’s share capital. The CMA noted that the prospectus will be published with sufficient time before the subscription period and will include information such as financial statements, activities and management. It also warned investors that subscribing without carefully reading the prospectus may involve high risk and clarified that CMA approval is not a recommendation to subscribe, but confirmation that the offering meets the legal requirements under the Capital Market Law and its Implementing Regulations. 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.
