KUALA LUMPUR: Bus Cap Bhd has signed an underwriting agreement with TA Securities Holdings Bhd for its initial public offering (IPO) and subsequent listing on Bursa Malaysia’s ACE Market.
The bus builder with over five decades of established market presence said in a statement that TA Securities will underwrite 30.67 million new shares under the exercise.
The IPO involves the issuance of 107.35 million new ordinary shares, or 28% of the enlarged issued share capital, as well as an offer for sale of 19.17 million existing shares, representing 5% of the enlarged issued share capital.
Upon completion of the IPO, Bus Cap will have an enlarged issued share capital of 383.38 million shares.
Of the total new shares, 19.17 million will be made available to the Malaysian public, while 11.5 million will be allocated to eligible directors, employees and other contributors.
A further 76.68 million will be placed out to selected investors.
Executive director Bernard Ng Chong Yan said as the commercial transport sector continues to modernise across Malaysia and Singapore, its transition to the public markets will unlock greater capital flexibility.
This will enable the company to accelerate production capacity, enhance operational efficiency, and meet the growing demand for higher-capacity fleets.
“The IPO is expected to directly support Bus Cap’s next phase of structural growth,” he said. — Bernama
