EFG Hermes Successfully Completes Advisory on USD 500 Million IPO of Specialized Medical Company on the Saudi Exchange
EFG Hermes, an EFG Holding company and the leading investment bank in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), announced today that its investment banking division successfully completed its advisory on the USD 500 million initial public offering (IPO) of Specialized Medical Company (SMC), one of the leading healthcare providers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, on the Main Market of the Saudi Exchange (Tadawul). This marks EFG Hermes' third IPO in the healthcare space in the past 12 months, further reinforcing its position as a trusted advisor across the region's most dynamic sectors. The company began trading today under the ticker 4019. Specialized Medical Company offered a total of 30% of its total issued share capital through the sale of 75 million ordinary shares at SAR 25 per share, implying a market capitalization of SAR 6,250 million (USD 1,667 million). The orders recorded during the institutional book-building exceeded SAR 121.3 billion, representing a coverage of 64.7x. Karim Meleka, Co-Head of Investment Banking at EFG Hermes , said, 'We are proud to have advised on the IPO of Specialized Medical Company. Despite heightened geopolitical tensions in the region, the offering attracted overwhelming interest from a diverse base of local, regional, and international investors — a clear vote of confidence not only in SMC's fundamentals but also in the resilience of Saudi Arabia's capital markets and the strength of its macroeconomic outlook.' SMC was founded in 1999 and is one of Riyadh's leading multi-specialty private healthcare providers, with a 25-year track record of delivering high-quality, patient-centric medical care. The Company operates two state-of-the-art hospitals in Riyadh with a combined capacity of 578 inpatient beds and 266 outpatient clinics. SMC is strategically expanding into Northern Riyadh, where rapid urban development is creating strong demand for healthcare services. With three additional hospitals, it is expected to capture over 25% of private hospital capacity in the area, establishing a leading position in an underpenetrated region with limited existing healthcare infrastructure – one that is set to become Riyadh's new urban hub. Once operational, the new facilities are expected to more than double the Company's current capacity to approximately 1,276 beds and 770 outpatient clinics . EFG Hermes acted as a Joint Financial Advisor, Joint Bookrunner, and Joint Underwriter on the transaction . EFG Hermes has advised on six IPOs across the region year to date, including landmark transactions on Tadawul, the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange, the Muscat Stock Exchange, and the Egyptian Exchange, underscoring its regional leadership in equity capital markets .
