The IPO comprises a public issue of 75.0 million new shares and an offer for sale of 52.5 million existing shares. Based on the IPO price of RM0.18 per share, the public issue is expected to raise gross proceeds of RM13.5 million for the Group.
Proceeds from the public issue will be utilised as follows:
- RM2.57 million for capital expenditure for the Group’s Manufacturing Facilities;
- RM4.50 million for the repayment of bank borrowings;
- RM2.93 million for working capital; and
- RM3.50 million for the defrayment of listing expenses.
HSS is principally involved in the sourcing of bakery products, trading of bakery and other products, as well as the manufacturing of bakery products. With business roots dating back to 2004, the Group has built more than 20 years of operating experience in the bakery products market and established a broad market presence through its extensive network of wholesalers, distributors and retailers.

The Group intends to utilise the IPO proceeds to strengthen its production capabilities and operational efficiency. Planned capital expenditure includes installation of a new biscuit production line, enhancements to its existing cookies production line, backend automation for selected production processes, and a new automated cake production line.
