Lumi, a Saudi car rental and leasing company, has announced the conclusion of the institutional book-building process and the determination of the final offer price for its initial public offering on the Saudi Exchange Market.

The Final Offer Price has been set at SAR 66 per share, implying a total offering size of SAR 1.089 billion and a market capitalization at listing of SAR 3.63 billion.

Last week, Lumi said that the price range for its IPO has been set between SAR 62 and SAR 66 per share, implying a total offering size of SAR 1,023 million to SAR 1,089 million.

Saudi Fransi Capital has been appointed by the Company as financial advisor, lead manager, and underwriter.

Lumi was established by Seera Group Holding in 2006 as a sole proprietorship to provide car rental services amongst a portfolio of travel companies.

The car rental company is classified as the third largest operator in the Kingdom, with a market share of about 7 percent, based on the size of its fleet in 2021, according to its prospectus.

A few days ago, Addis Holding Company, a global company providing drilling and production services to the oil and gas sector in the Middle East and North Africa region, announced its intention to offer an initial public offering and list its shares on the main market, Tadawul.

The company will sell 101.615 million of its current shares. The offering is expected to raise $1 billion, making it one of the largest planned IPOs in the kingdom this year, Bloomberg reported in an earlier report.

South Korea, China and Japan held their first economic dialogue in five years on Sunday, seeking to facilitate regional trade as the three Asian export powers brace from US President Donald Trump's tariffs.
The countries' three trade ministers agreed to "closely cooperate for a comprehensive and high-level" talks on a South Korea-Japan-China free trade agreement deal to promote "regional and global trade", according to a statement released after the meeting.
"It is necessary to strengthen the implementation of RCEP, in which all three countries have participated, and to create a framework for expanding trade cooperation among the three countries through Korea-China-Japan FTA negotiations," said South Korean Trade Minister Ahn Duk-geun, referring to the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership.

The ministers met ahead of Trump's announcement on Wednesday of more tariffs in what he calls "liberation day", as he upends Washington's trading partnerships, Reuters reported.
Seoul, Beijing and Tokyo are major US major trading partners, although they have been at loggerheads among themselves over issues including territorial disputes and Japan's release of wastewater from the wrecked Fukushima nuclear power plant.
They have not made substantial progress on a trilateral free-trade deal since starting talks in 2012.
RCEP, which went into force in 2022, is a trade framework among 15 Asia-Pacific countries aimed at lowering trade barriers.
Trump announced 25% import tariffs on cars and auto parts last week, a move that may hurt companies, especially Asian automakers, which are among the largest vehicle exporters to the US.
After Mexico, South Korea is the world's largest exporter of vehicles to the United States, followed by Japan, according to data from S&P.
The ministers agreed to hold their next ministerial meeting in Japan.
