Saudi Exchange announces restructuring ahead of IPO

A corporate restructuring is one of the final steps in readying Tadawul for an IPO this year. CEO Khalid Al-Hussan says the moment for listing is almost at hand.

Tadawul, the Saudi Stock Exchange, has announced a corporate restructuring ahead of an IPO that should take place later this year, with financial advisers and bookrunners set to be announced by the end of the month.

Khalid Al-Hussan, CEO of Saudi Tadawul Group, tells Euromoney on Thursday: “This is the right time do deliver an IPO as our next milestone.”

Tadawul will move to a holding group structure with four subsidiaries: Saudi Exchange, which will be a dedicated stock exchange company; Wamid, an applied technology solutions company; Muqassa, a securities clearing company, and Edaa, a securities depository.
