PETALING JAYA: RT Pastry Holdings Bhd has entered into an underwriting agreement with KAF Investment Bank Bhd (KAF IB) in preparation for its initial public offering (IPO) on the ACE Market of Bursa Malaysia.
In a statement, the bakery group said its IPO exercise involved a public issue of 91.54 million new ordinary shares, which represents approximately 27% of the company’s enlarged issued share capital.
KAF IB will act as the principal adviser, sponsor, underwriter and placement agent for the exercise.
The company specialises in the manufacturing and retail of premium pastry and bakery products.
As of the latest practicable date of Sept 1, 2025, the group owned and operated 17 outlets located throughout the Klang Valley, under its trade and brand name RT Pastry.
The group’s revenue grew from RM54.7mil in the financial year ended Dec 31, 2022 (FY22) to approximately RM60.3mil in FY24, driven largely by its core pastry and bakery segments.
During this same period, the group’s profit before tax showed steady improvement, rising from RM7.9mil to RM8.1mil, reflecting enhanced operational leverage and improved profitability across its business divisions.
Commenting at the underwriting agreement signing ceremony, Lu Chun-Neng, executive director and group chief executive officer of RT Pastry, said: “Today’s signing marks a monumental milestone in RT Pastry’s journey.
“From our humble beginnings to becoming a household name, our focus has always been on quality and innovation.
“This IPO will provide us with the platform to further expand our retail network and upgrade our manufacturing capabilities, ensuring we continue to deliver the ‘heart’ behind every pastry to our loyal customers and new investors alike,” added Chun-Neng
The proceeds from the IPO are earmarked for among others, the opening of new outlets, purchase of new machinery and equipment, and repayment of bank borrowings, which will support the group’s long-term growth and operational efficiency.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the group is slated to list on the ACE Market of Bursa Malaysia by the second quarter of this year.
