Mercury Securities is an investment holding company and through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Mercury Securities Sdn Bhd (a Participating Organisation of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad and a Recognised Principal Adviser by the Securities Commission Malaysia) (collectively "Group") is principally involved in the provision of stockbroking, corporate finance advisory services and other related businesses such as margin financing facilities services, underwriting and placement services, as well as provision of nominee and custodian services.

The IPO is projected to raise RM39.27 million via the issuance of 157.09 million shares at the issue price of RM0.25 per share. The proceeds will be allocated in the following manner:

- RM26.86 million used for margin financing facility services;

With our diverse range of products and services that we now offer, which include stockbroking, corporate finance, proprietary trading, margin financing and research advisory, custodian and nominee services, we are embarking on a journey that is not just a corporate milestone, but a springboard for our group to reach higher and deeper into the capital market."

He added, "Mercury has been profitable every single year since it started operations in 1992, despite the ups and downs of the stock market. We will be the first stockbroking company to seek and gain an IPO listing in Bursa in the last 20 years. As we embark on this new chapter, I wish to thank our talented and dedicated team, and also our clients, new and old, as well as the ones we have yet to welcome. This capital market is ever-evolving and Mercury will endeavour to likewise, and for the better."
