Proceeds from the new shares will be allocated toward expanding store operations and distribution centers, investing in digital and IT capabilities, repaying bank loans and covering listing-related expenses.
Maybank Investment Bank is acting as the principal adviser, sole bookrunner, sole underwriter and sole placement agent for the IPO.
KK Mart currently operates 996 convenience stores across Malaysia, offering everyday essentials along with services such as bill payments and mobile top-ups.
