“There is no offer for sale under the proposed IPO,” it said.

Meanwhile, Ecosys said that M&A Securities would underwrite 40.00 million new shares allocated to the Malaysian public and eligible individuals under the Pink Form Allocation.

The remaining 105.70 million new shares would be placed out to Bumiputera investors approved by MITI and selected investors by M&A Securities in its capacity as placement agent.

The IPO is expected to raise gross proceeds of RM39.34 million.

The proceeds would primarily be used to expand the group’s abatement segment through the purchase of key components and modules for abatement systems.

Funds would also be used to repay bank borrowings, invest in machinery and manpower, expand the group’s presence in India, meet working capital requirements and defray listing expenses.

EcoSys provides solutions that support applications across semiconductor manufacturing equipment, front-end semiconductor production, solar photovoltaic panel manufacturing equipment and industrial gas supply systems.

The company and its subsidiaries own the EcoSys brand and the intellectual properties associated with its CDO, Vector, Marathon and Guardian ranges of abatement systems. 

EcoSys obtained Bursa Malaysia Securities’ approval for its ACE Market listing on June 8, 2026.

M&A Securities Sdn Bhd is the principal adviser, sponsor, underwriter, and placement agent for the IPO, while Eco Asia Capital Advisory Sdn Bhd is the financial adviser.
