Kuwait's Beyout Investment Group (BIG) Holding, which provides human resources and real estate services, said on Tuesday it plans to list a 30% stake on its local bourse.
The final offering price will be determined through a bookbuilding period to be held May 19-23 and the shares are expected to debut on the Kuwaiti stock exchange next month.
"The listing is a step towards diversifying the shareholder base, enhancing corporate governance, and broadening the company's network and visibility among key stakeholders," the firm said in a statement.
