Final IPO price will be equal to the lower of IPO price of MYR5.20/share and 95% of institutional price to be determined by way of bookbuilding. "It will certainly be the largest IPO in Asia Pacific, certainly the largest telco IPO in the region and the largest IPO in South East Asia ever," says CIMB's group chief executive Nazir Razak, according to The Malaysian Reserve. Market capitalization at MYR5.20 would be MYR39.0 billion, positioning Maxis among top 5 largest listed companies in Malaysia in terms of market capitalization.
