With the skyrocketing number of privatizations in the GCC, plus the deregulation of regional stock markets, there is increased interest in IPO strategies for the region's businesses.  Accordingly, the scope for developing exit opportunities is also on the rise.

Arbah Capital will provide its clients IPO listing and pre-IPO advisory services for small to mid cap businesses.  Forthcoming, Arbah Capital intends to target size deals worth up to $150m.  If given the correct market dynamics, however, we will also look to underwrite businesses of greater size as we work with our strategic partners.  Given sufficient activity in the region, we will increase our capital base and form new alliances, particularly with commercial banks in executing primary block deals.  Arbah Capital plans to be flexible enough to operate on a deal by deal basis which may include functioning as an arranger, originator, placement agent, promoter or as an underwriter as deemed appropriate.
