中国石化新闻网讯 据油价网2023年8月28日报道，沙特阿拉伯石油和天然气钻井服务提供商ADES控股公司将在沙特证券交易所进行首次公开募股(IPO)，发行30%的股本，这可能是沙特阿拉伯今年规模最大的IPO之一。
ADES控股公司由沙特主权财富基金公共投资基金(PIF)支持，ADES投资控股和扎米尔集团投资公司是其主要股东。
ADES控股公司在路透社的一份声明中表示，这家活跃在中东和北非(MENA)地区的油气钻井公司的股东们现在计划在计划中的IPO中出售33871.8754万股普通股。此次股票出售将意味着ADES控股公司股票资本的30%将在沙特证券交易所（Tadawul）进行交易。
据去年年底接受路透社记者采访的消息人士称，此次IPO可能会带来超过10多亿美元的资金。
ADES国际公司在2017年至2021年期间在伦敦证券交易所上市。PIF和ADES股东于2021年将这家钻井公司私有化，该交易对该公司的估值约为5.16亿美元。
ADES控股公司董事长Ayman Abbas在路透社发表的一份声明中表示：“我们的IPO将支持我们继续实现增长，巩固我们在沙特阿拉伯和全球自升式钻井市场的领导者地位。”
据彭博社报道，IPO的每股价格区间预计将于9月18日公布，而最终股价将在前期竞投询价过程结束后公布。
如果今年开启IPO，ADES国际公司的IPO可能成为2023年沙特阿拉伯最大的IPO之一。据彭博社估计，今年以来，ADES国际公司在沙特证券交易所的股票销售起步较慢。
根据彭博社汇编的数据，今年以来，沙特证券交易所的股票上市融资总额不到9亿美元，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.
