Here is the IPO results for balloting of successful applications by Malaysian bumiputera and non-bumiputera public categories published by MIDF:
On recent weak market sentiment and poor IPO debuts locally and regionally, it is quite surprise to see there is still such a high level of shares subscription, although the allocation to Malaysian public portion is very low at only 14 million shares, a merely 6% of total 234 million IPO shares. No doubt the business fundamental is good, it may also partly due to long subscription period of 8 days that allow investors more time to gather their capital for investment.
Congratulations to those investors who were or will be successful in the balloting. Wish you a good fortune and big windfall at the listing day on 28 June 2011, Tuesday.
For who are not that lucky, let’s look forward for another upcoming mega IPO – Bumi Armada Berhad!
