Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is an Initial Public Offering (IPO)?

An Initial Public Offering (IPO) is when a private company attempts to go public for the first time. This is done by the unlisted company offering new or existing shares for members of the public to buy or sell in a new stock issuance, including any existing shareholders. After an IPO, a company will get publicly listed on a regulated stock exchange. As such, IPOs provide companies with greater opportunities to obtain capital by offering shares through the main market, allowing for further expansion and growth.

2. What is the IPO application process in Malaysia?

Applying for an IPO can be a straightforward process for businesses in Malaysia, so long as they meet the listing criteria as outlined by the Malaysian Stock Exchange (Bursa Malaysia). This involves a set of both quantitative and qualitative criteria.

Once your company is satisfied that these requirements can be fulfilled, there are three ways to apply for an IPO, both online and traditionally using a printed application form (known as the White Application Form). More information on the IPO application process can be found here.

3. What is an IPO share issuing house and what services do they provide?

An IPO share issuing house is a company that helps private companies go public by facilitating their IPO process. Malaysian share issuing houses may offer services such as advising companies on their IPO timeline and necessary requirements, liaising with participating banks and financial institutions, performing all application and registration processes, marketing shares to potential investors, and informing authorities of the IPO result.
