HLIB, acting as the Principal Adviser, Sponsor, Sole Underwriter and Sole Bookrunner, will underwrite 20.29 million Issue Shares allocated for the retail offering.

Datuk Kenny Liew Hock Nean, Executive Vice Chairman of TOPVISION said, “This Transfer of Listing is a significant moment for TOPVISION as we transition from the LEAP Market to the ACE Market. The partnership with HLIB for our listing underscores our commitment to expanding access to high-quality eye care services throughout Malaysia. The funds raised from this public offering will allow us to further enhance our medical technology, expand our network of ACCs, and continue our contributions to the eye care sector. Having first been listed on the LEAP Market in 2018, TOPVISION is well-positioned for growth, and we believe this transfer listing will provide us with the resources needed to reach new heights, benefiting both our patients and stakeholders.”

Ms. Lee Jim Leng, Group Managing Director/ Chief Executive Officer of HLIB commented, “We are honoured to be part of TOPVISION’s journey to transfer from its LEAP Market listing in 2018 to now becoming a publicly listed entity on the ACE Market. We are excited with the prospects of TOPVISION being able to access a wider pool of investors via the ACE Market listing, which would help propel TOPVISION’s growth to the next level.”

The proceeds will be primarily used for the establishment of TOPVISION International Eye Specialist Centre and two new ACCs in Kuala Terengganu and Tawau. Additionally, the proceeds will be utilised to purchase new medical equipment and cover the estimated expenses for the transfer of the Company's listing from the LEAP Market to the ACE Market of Bursa Securities.
