Saudi Arabian Modern Mills Set to Offer 30% Stake in Riyadh IPO
Saudi Arabia’s Modern Mills for Food Products Co. is gearing up to offer a 30% stake in an initial public offering (IPO) in Riyadh, a move that is in line with the kingdom’s privatization drive within the flour milling sector.[1]
The company intends to sell 24.5 million shares. HSBC Holdings Plc will be the sole financial adviser, global coordinator, and lead manager, while Emirates NBD Capital will serve as a joint bookrunner and underwriter for the transaction.
Formerly known as Milling Company 3 and under the ownership of the kingdom’s sovereign wealth fund, Modern Mills was acquired in 2021 by a consortium led by MADA Holding and Al Ghurair Foods, based in the United Arab Emirates.
The recent IPO of First Milling Co. in May, valued at $266 million, signaled the beginning of this trend.
Modern Mills joins Avalon Pharma as the second Saudi company to debut on the IPO stage this year.
