A total of 7.98 million issue shares are allocated for the group’s eligible directors, employees and business associates and 39.89 million issue shares for private placement to selected investors. In addition, the IPO will involve an offer for sale of 31.91 million existing shares available for private placement to selected bumiputra investors approved by the International Trade & Industry Ministry.
