Presight aims to offer 1.36 billion new shares, representing 32pc of the company before the offering, at 1.34 dirhams each via a capital increase, according to an announcement.
The offer period begins March 13 and ends on March 17.
G42 is part of a business empire overseen by its chair, Shaikh Tahnoon bin Zayed al-Nahyan, who is also the UAE's national security adviser and has been a foreign policy troubleshooter for his brother, President Shaikh Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan.
Shaikh Tahnoon's financial interests include local conglomerate International Holding Company, which has entered the IPO as a cornerstone investor, and sovereign wealth fund ADQ.
