Supermarket chain Spinneys has announced its decision to increase the number of shares allocated to the UAE Retail Offering of its IPO due to high demand.
In a statement on Tuesday, the company said that the public offering (UAE Retail Offering) to subscribers in the First Tranche has been increased from 45,000,000 shares to 63,000,000 shares, equivalent to 7 per cent of the total Offer Shares.

To accommodate the increased allocation of the UAE Retail Offering, the number of shares allocated to Professional Investors (Qualified Investor Offering and as referred to in the UAE Prospectus as Second Tranche subscribers) has been reduced from 855,000,000 shares to 837,000,000 shares, equivalent to 93 per cent of the total Offer Shares.
