K&A acted as the financial adviser, lead manager and underwriters counsel for Riyad Capital, SNB Capital Company and Al Rajhi Capital in relation to the National Agricultural Development Co. (NADEC) capital increase by way of a rights issue for a total amount of SAR 2 billion. The company’s capital will be raised by 196.8% to SAR 3.016 billion, through offering 200 million shares at an offer price of SAR 10 each, and was met with substantial demand from institutional investors during the rump offering exceeding 540%.
