[QUOTE="Coralin96, post: 1592, member: 15"] [B]The end of the world's largest initial public offering [/B] [U]The Story[/U] [LIST] [*]A report by Reuters last week said that Saudi Aramco, the world's largest oil company, has shelved plans to IPO. [*]Saudi Arabia said it was untrue and that they were waiting for "optimum conditions". [*]The IPO was supposed to raise money for Saudi Arabia to help it diversify its economy away from oil. [*]There have already been struggles after Saudi Aramco could not decide whether to list in London or New York. Later, the Kingdom also said the company was worth $2trn, which left investors concerned over the company's transparency with its figures. [*]In the meantime, Saudi Aramco is buying a 70% stake in Sabic, a large petrochemicals firm. [/LIST] [U]Impact on business and law firms[/U] [LIST] [*]Investors are already concerned about the legal implications of Saudi Aramco's New York listing. [*]US law firm, White & Case is advising Saudi Aramco, and will need to prepare Saudi Aramco for the litigation suits which may affect its listing. [*]Under US law, terrorism legislation allows families affected by 9/11 to sue Saudi Arabia. [*]Saudi Aramco may also struggle to comply with onerous US regulations. [*]If Saudi Aramco decides to choose to list in London instead, it will struggle to meet UK regulations which require a certain class of company to list 25% of its shares on the stock exchange. The oil company only wants to list 5%. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
