Dubai-based jewellery group Damas said on Wednesday it priced shares in an initial public offering at $1 each, the bottom end of the range, and raised about $270.6 million.

Shares of the family-controlled firm will list on the Dubai International Financial Exchange (DIFX) on or around July 8, the firm said in a statement.

Damas said it sold 270.58 million ordinary shares to institutional investors from the Gulf Arab region and Europe. Last month, it said it would price the shares at between $1 and $1.14 each.

HSBC Bank and Credit Suisse Securities have 30 days from the listing date to exercise an over-allotment option of up to 15 percent of the total shares sold in the IPO, it added. (Reuters)
