Shares of 99 Speed Mart Retail Holdings Bhd opened at RM1.85 (55 cents), 12.1% higher or a 20 sen premium to its initial public offering (IPO) price of RM1.65, on its debut on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia on Monday.

At the time of writing, the counter traded even higher at RM1.91, up 26 sen or 15.76%, valuing the mini market group at RM16.04 billion, based on its issued capital of 8.4 billion shares.

The public issue of 400 million new shares raised up to RM660 million. The group has set aside 59% of that amount to expand its network of outlets, 15% to set up new distribution centres, 8.3% to buy delivery trucks, and 7.2% to upgrade existing outlets.

The IPO was oversubscribed by 3.04 times.
