中國石化新聞網(wǎng)訊 據(jù)油價網(wǎng)2023年8月28日報道，沙特阿拉伯石油和天然氣鉆井服務提供商ADES控股公司將在沙特證券交易所進行首次公開募股(IPO)，發(fā)行30%的股本，這可能是沙特阿拉伯今年規(guī)模最大的IPO之一。
ADES控股公司由沙特主權財富基金公共投資基金(PIF)支持，ADES投資控股和扎米爾集團投資公司是其主要股東。
ADES控股公司在路透社的一份聲明中表示，這家活躍在中東和北非(MENA)地區(qū)的油氣鉆井公司的股東們現(xiàn)在計劃在計劃中的IPO中出售33871.8754萬股普通股。此次股票出售將意味著ADES控股公司股票資本的30%將在沙特證券交易所（Tadawul）進行交易。
據(jù)去年年底接受路透社記者采訪的消息人士稱，此次IPO可能會帶來超過10多億美元的資金。
ADES國際公司在2017年至2021年期間在倫敦證券交易所上市。PIF和ADES股東于2021年將這家鉆井公司私有化，該交易對該公司的估值約為5.16億美元。
ADES控股公司董事長Ayman Abbas在路透社發(fā)表的一份聲明中表示：“我們的IPO將支持我們繼續(xù)實現(xiàn)增長，鞏固我們在沙特阿拉伯和全球自升式鉆井市場的領導者地位?！?/p>
據(jù)彭博社報道，IPO的每股價格區(qū)間預計將于9月18日公布，而最終股價將在前期競投詢價過程結(jié)束后公布。
如果今年開啟IPO，ADES國際公司的IPO可能成為2023年沙特阿拉伯最大的IPO之一。據(jù)彭博社估計，今年以來，ADES國際公司在沙特證券交易所的股票銷售起步較慢。
根據(jù)彭博社匯編的數(shù)據(jù)，今年以來，沙特證券交易所的股票上市融資總額不到9億美元，比去年下降82%。

Oil Drilling Firm Ades Set For One Of The Biggest Saudi IPOs Of 2023
ADES Holding, an oil and gas drilling services provider, is headed to the Saudi stock exchange in an initial public offering of 30% of its share capital in what could be one of the largest IPOs in Saudi Arabia this year.
ADES Holding is backed by the Saudi sovereign wealth fund, the Public Investment Fund (PIF), and has ADES Investments Holding and Zamil Group Investment as its major shareholders.
The shareholders of the oil and gas driller, which is active in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, now plan to sell 338,718,754 ordinary shares in the planned IPO, ADES in a statement carried by Reuters. The share sale will mean that 30% in ADES’ stock capital will be traded on the Saudi stock exchange, Tadawul.
The IPO could bring in more than $1 billion, according to sources who spoke to Reuters at the end of last year.
ADES International spent time as a listed company on the London Stock Exchange between 2017 and 2021. PIF and the ADES shareholders took the driller private in 2021 in deal that valued the firm at some $516 million.
“Our IPO will support us in continuing to deliver growth and cement our position as the leader in the jack-up drilling market in Saudi Arabia and globally,” ADES Chairman Ayman Abbas said in a statement carried by Reuters.
According to Bloomberg, the price range per share in the IPO is expected to be announced on September 18, while the final price in the share offer will be communicated after a book-building process.
If carried out this year, ADES International’s IPO could become one of the biggest listings in Saudi Arabia in 2023, after a slower start to share sales in the Kingdom so far into this year, per Bloomberg’s estimates.
Share listings on the Saudi stock exchange have raised so far this year in total less than $900 million, down by 82% from last year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
