As part of the new offering size, ADNOC also intends to increase the size of the tranches reserved for UAE retail investors, including eligible ADNOC Group companies’ employees and UAE national retirees.
The final tranche sizes will be determined at ADNOC’s discretion and announced on September 27.
The subscription period for the ADNOC Drilling IPO remains unchanged and will close on September 23, for UAE retail investors and on September 26 for qualified domestic and international institutional investors.
ADNOC Drilling is expected to list on the ADX on or around October 3.
