KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 27 (Bernama) -- Teamstar Bhd aims to raise RM34.32 million from its initial public offering (IPO) ahead of its ACE Market listing on Feb 25, 2026.

Teamstar said the IPO entails the public offering of 204 million ordinary shares, comprising a public issue of 132 million new ordinary shares and an offer for sale of 72 million existing shares, collectively representing 25.50 per cent of the company’s enlarged issued share capital of 800 million ordinary shares.
