In addition, the Company also provides M&amp;E engineering services for clean energy infrastructure, including solar photovoltaic (\u201cPV\u201d) installation and electric vehicle (\u201cEV\u201d) charging solution, aligning with Malaysia\u2019s National Energy Transition Roadmap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the initial public offering (\u201cIPO\u201d) exercise, Kee Ming is expected to raise RM25.32 million via the issuance of 66.63 million new shares at the issue price of RM0.38 per share. The proceeds will be allocated in the following manner:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>RM13.00 million<\/strong> for project working capital for future projects;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>RM4.00 million<\/strong> for performance bond for future projects;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>RM1.72 million<\/strong> for expansion of project team;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>RM1.00 million<\/strong> for purchase of Enterprise Resource Planning (\u201cERP\u201d) system;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>RM0.60 million<\/strong> for general working capital; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>RM5.00 million<\/strong> for defray fees and expenses related to the IPO exercise.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ir.

The IPO will strengthen our operational capabilities, enable us to undertake larger and more complex projects across industrial, commercial, residential, clean energy-related segments as well as others which mainly consist of public infrastructures and interconnection facilities. This reinforces our commitment to delivering safe, reliable and high-quality engineering solutions. We are dedicated to driving sustainable growth and creating long-term value for our stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mr. Ku Mun Fong, Head of Corporate Finance of TA Securities Holdings Berhad<\/strong>, added, \u201cKee Ming\u2019s track record, diversified M&amp;E engineering capabilities and experienced management team position the Company well for sustainable growth. We are pleased to support Kee Ming\u2019s IPO journey and believe the Company is well-placed to capitalise on opportunities arising from Malaysia\u2019s expanding construction, industrial and renewable energy sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mr. Kelvin Khoo, Group Chief Executive Officer of Eco Asia Capital Advisory Sdn. Bhd.<\/strong>, said \u201cThe launch of Kee Ming\u2019s prospectus is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the Company in building a resilient and technically strong engineering business. With the IPO proceeds, the Company can focus on scaling its resources, enhancing execution capacity and expanding footprint across Malaysia\u2019s industrial, commercial, residential and clean energy landscape. We are pleased to support Kee Ming in entering this next phase of growth with confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the Independent Market Research (\u201cIMR\u201d) Report, Malaysia\u2019s M&amp;E engineering services market is projected for strong long-term growth, with the local M&amp;E engineering services market valued at RM9.61 billion in 2024, representing a 21.8% increase from RM7.89 billion in 2023. The market is forecast to expand from RM10.86 billion in 2025 to RM16.82 billion by 2029, registering a compound annual growth rate (\u201cCAGR\u201d) of 11.9% over the forecast period. This growth is supported by continued industrial and infrastructure development, sustained data centre investments, and the ongoing green energy transition driven by solar PV installation and EV charging infrastructure. The outlook is further underpinned by the Malaysian Government\u2019s projected RM430 billion development expenditure under the 13th Malaysia Plan, which includes major allocations for infrastructure, infostructure, public transport, flood mitigation and affordable housing, collectively providing a strong foundation for Kee Ming\u2019s continued expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the launch of Kee Ming\u2019s prospectus, applications for the Public Issue are open from today and will close on <strong>27 January 2026<\/strong>.
