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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
SMC received strong level of investor engagement since the publication of the Second Supplementary Prospectus. The deliberate and strategic decision taken by SMC\u2019s shareholders reinforces their confidence in the IPO and their belief in the Company\u2019s long-term value creation potential for both current and future shareholders.<\/p>\n

Bassam Chahine, Chief Executive Officer of Specialized Medical Company (SMC), commented: \u201cReaching the top end of the price range is a clear vote of confidence in SMC\u2019s performance, vision, and growth strategy. It marks a significant milestone in our journey from a single day-surgery center to one of Riyadh\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
