Food Innovators Holdings Limited ("FIH" or the "Company") is offering 14m shares at $0.22 each, for which 13m shares will be through placement and the remaining 1m shares via a Public Offer. The IPO will close on 14 Nov at 12 noon and starts trading on 16 Oct 9am. FIH has two business models - the first is to be a master lease and sublease the space to other tenants and the second is to operate and manage restaurants. The Company currently has 12 restaurants in Japan, 10 in Singapore and 4 in Malaysia. The market cap based on the IPO price is around $24.9m. Financial Highlights FIH's revenue grew from $37.8m in FY2022 to $43.8m in FY2024. It is quite funny to see that being a master land lease holder has a higher margin than operating the restaurants, once again illustrating the point that it is better to be a landlord to shake leg and collect rent. According to the prospectus, the PER is around 19x. The Company intends to pay 20% of its net profit after tax a

2: Mr IPO, can I ask if there is any benefit to the company to have MANY share holders since it seems that those who bid less have higher chance of getting what is ordered and higher % of order filled. More share holders means higher admin costs and more questions to answer during AGM not to mention mouths to feed. Is it some legal requirement and why do these companies like to have many shareholders? 'Charity' to those with less $ or that single digit unit holders are less likely to sell (transaction fee prohibitive)?
Tks if u can answer at least QN 2.
2. There is a requirement to have 1000 shareholders. The company probably trying to ensure they meet that obligation by allocating to smaller shareholders. Give 1 lot will mean that they can meet that requirement and it is tougher to sell just 1 lot. Most will just hold on for the longer term and not sell on the first day
got 9000 from 20000 subcribed.
If it is just window dressing to give semblance of share mkt robustness/ transparency (many shareholding participants), than the law is SHAM.
Are there too many loopholes in SGX/IPO rules???!!!
Many tks if U can answer my question😀.
Got 22lots sold @0.86....
