Look at the listing expenses going to pay, it is RM100 million! It represents 5% of total funds raised from public issue of RM2,029 million. Not cheap though. Existing shareholders that raised RM738 million will have to pay for their portion of listing expenses which are not included in the RM100 million. A mega IPO I would say. A mega fee for merchant bankers, advisors and reporting accountants too.
