With this landmark securitization program، EMRC has become the first refinance mortgage company to securitize portfolios for mortgage companies in the Egyptian market.

The issuance is structured as follows:
Tranche A – valued at EGP 66.1 million with a tenor of 13 months and a credit rating of AA+ from Middle East Ratings and Investors Service (MERIS)

Tranche C – valued at EGP 212.4 million with a tenor of 69 months and a credit rating of A from MERIS
Maie Hamdy، Managing Director - Debt Capital Markets at EFG Hermes، commented: “The successful completion of the EMRC securitization issuance underscores EFG Hermes' commitment to driving innovation and progress within the financial market. This achievement not only amplifies our expertise as a financial services leader but also paves the way for transformative advancements in the mortgage landscape. EFG Hermes continues to reinforce its role as a pioneer in Egypt’s debt capital market، advising on an extensive variety of securitization deals in the country and garnering widespread investor interest. We are proud to have been a part of this milestone، supporting growth and innovation in the mortgage industry.”
Commenting on the issuance، Ehab Abou Ali، Managing Director from EMRC، said: “This milestone marks an important advancement for both EMRC and the primary mortgage market in Egypt. By securitizing portfolios for mortgage companies، we aim to enhance their liquidity، strength capital structure and promote accessibility for homeowners and prospective buyers. This collaboration with EFG Hermes aligns with our mission to facilitate the development of the housing finance sector and will aid us in the realization of our goals and long-term growth strategy.”
This issuance comes on the heels of EFG Hermes’ successful closing of an EGP 472.5 million securitized bond for Palm Hills Development (PHD)، and an EGP 958 million issuance for Bedaya Mortgage Finance. The investment banking division also concluded an EGP 805.5 million issuance for Madinet Masr (previously Madinet Nasr for Housing and Development)، Al Taamir Mortgage Finance – Al Oula’s EGP 998.5 million issuance، Valu’s EGP 856.5 million issuance، as well as an EGP 986 million issuance for Misr Italia Properties.

EFG Hermes Successfully Completes Advisory on USD 500 Million IPO of Specialized Medical Company on the Saudi Exchange
EFG Hermes، an EFG Holding company and the leading investment bank in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA)،announced today that its investment banking division successfully completed its advisory on the USD 500 million initial public offering (IPO) of Specialized Medical Company(SMC)، one of the leading healthcare providers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia، on the Main Market of the Saudi Exchange(Tadawul). This marks EFG Hermes’ third IPO in the healthcare space in the past 12 months، further reinforcing its position as a trusted advisor across the region’s most dynamic sectors.
The company began trading today under the ticker 4019.
Specialized Medical Company offered a total of 30% of its total issued share capital through the sale of 75 million ordinary shares at SAR 25 per share، implying a market capitalization of SAR 6،250 million (USD 1،667 million). The orders recorded during the institutional book-building exceeded SAR 121.3 billion، representing a coverage of 64.7x.
Karim Meleka، Co-Head of Investment Banking at EFG Hermes، said، “We are proud to have advised on the IPO of Specialized Medical Company. Despite heightened geopolitical tensions in the region، the offering attracted overwhelming interest from a diverse base of local، regional، and international investors — a clear vote of confidence not only in SMC’s fundamentals but also in the resilience of Saudi Arabia’s capital markets and the strength of its macroeconomic outlook.”
SMC was founded in 1999 and is one of Riyadh’s leading multi-specialty private healthcare providers، with a 25-year track record of delivering high-quality، patient-centric medical care.The Company operates two state-of-the-art hospitals in Riyadhwith a combined capacity of 578 inpatient beds and 266 outpatient clinics. SMC is strategically expanding into Northern Riyadh، where rapid urban development is creating strong demand for healthcare services. With three additional hospitals، it is expected to capture over 25% of private hospital capacity in the area، establishing a leading position in an underpenetrated region with limited existing healthcare infrastructure – one that is set to become Riyadh’s new urban hub. Once operational، the new facilities are expected to more than double the Company’s current capacity to approximately 1،276 beds and 770 outpatient clinics.
EFG Hermes acted as a Joint Financial Advisor، Joint Bookrunner، and Joint Underwriter on the transaction.
EFG Hermes has advised on six IPOs across the region year to date، including landmark transactions on Tadawul، the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange، the Muscat Stock Exchange، and the Egyptian Exchange، underscoring its regional leadership in equity capital markets.
