The company is offering 22.74 mln shares, representing a 30% stake. The final offer price implies a market value of around 2.8 billion riyals ($746.67 million) for Rasan, with the offering raising gross proceeds of 841.4 million riyals.
The Saudi Exchange, the largest and most liquid stock market in the Arab world, has seen a surge in listings over the last few years as part of broad plans to deepen capital markets, grow the private sector and attract investment.
