KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Oct. 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VCI Global Limited (NASDAQ: VCIG) (Frankfurt: H0T) (“VCI Global” or the “Company”) is thrilled to announce the successful IPO of its client, Founder Group Limited’s (NASDAQ: FGL) (“FGL”) on Nasdaq on October 23, 2024. FGL is a leading Malaysian solar engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPCC) company that was spun off from Reservoir Link Energy Berhad, a Bursa Malaysia-listed company. With expertise in capital market consultancy, VCI Global facilitated FGL’s entire IPO journey, culminating in its trading debut on Wednesday, which resulted in a market capitalization exceeding US$65 million and raised US$4.875 million.
FGL is recognized as the market leader in Malaysia’s solar EPCC sector, providing end-to-end EPCC solutions for solar photovoltaic (PV) facilities. With a proven track record of delivering over 400 Megawatt peak (MWp) solar power plants in Malaysia, FGL’s expertise spans both large-scale solar projects and commercial and industrial (C&I) solar projects. These include utility-scale power plants and smaller-scale installations, typically rooftop-mounted, designed to generate electricity for on-site consumption by commercial and industrial properties. With rapidly growing annual revenues exceeding US$30 million in fiscal year 2023, and a strategic expansion plan into countries such as Singapore, the Philippines and Indonesia, FGL is well-positioned to capitalize on the surging demand for solar energy in Southeast Asia, where capacity is projected to grow significantly in the coming years.
As the IPO consultant for FGL, VCI Global played a crucial role in providing essential guidance and working closely with various professionals throughout the listing process, generating approximately US$5.2 million in revenue for VCI Global.
“We are excited to join the Nasdaq community, enabling us to scale our operations and deliver innovative solar solutions. This listing marks a new chapter for us and reaffirms our commitment to promoting eco-friendly resources and achieving carbon neutrality in the renewable energy space. We extend our heartfelt thanks to VCI Global for their invaluable support and guidance throughout this process,” said Lee Seng Chi, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of Founder Group Limited.
“Bringing Founder Group Limited to the global stage is a significant achievement for us, showcasing our expertise in capital market consultancy. We are proud to have collaborated with Lee and his team in reaching this important milestone in their company’s journey. We anticipate completing two more Nasdaq IPOs by next quarter, underscoring our commitment to high-growth companies in Southeast Asia, particularly in Malaysia, where we are headquartered,” said Dato’ Victor Hoo, Group Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of VCI Global.
