ABU DHABI, March 3 (Reuters) – Abu Dhabi National Oil Co (ADNOC) released the final pricing for its gas business IPO on Friday, setting the price at 2.37 dirhams per share, towards the higher end of a range earlier indicated.
The state oil giant announced on Feb. 27 it would increase the stake offered to investors in the initial public offering (IPO) of ADNOC Gas to 5% from 4% due to strong demand for the deal.
Proceeds raised from the IPO amounted to $2.5 billion, a company statement said, implying a market capitalisation of about $50 billion.
ADNOC Gas is expected to list and begin trading on March 13.
