Capital markets & securities in Jeddah: compliance isn't optional for anyone dealing with the market

Any company planning to list on the Saudi Exchange (Tadawul), dealing with public securities, or issuing sukuk or bonds, automatically falls under Capital Market Authority (CMA) oversight with strict disclosure and compliance requirements leaving no room for personal judgment. A procedural error in this area, however minor it may seem, can expose the company and its officers to regulatory liability and trading suspension.

Continuous disclosure requirements, not just at listing

Listed companies are obligated to continuously disclose any material information that could affect an investor's decision, not just disclose at the moment of listing. This includes material changes in ownership structure, major strategic decisions, and related-party transactions. Delayed or incomplete disclosure is among the most common violations facing newly listed companies, often due to the absence of clear internal procedures for classifying what constitutes "material information" requiring immediate disclosure.

Initial offerings and sukuk

Whether you're planning an initial public offering (IPO) or issuing financing sukuk, these issuances need a prospectus compliant with CMA requirements, a licensed financial advisor, and a comprehensive legal review of all disclosures in the prospectus to ensure accuracy and avoid misleading potential investors.
