Keyfield's IPO consists entirely of new shares, with 40 million shares allocated to the public, 24 million shares to eligible persons, and 144.96 million shares to Bumiputera and selected investors through private placement. The company has raised RM188.1 million from its IPO via the issuance of 208.96 million new shares at 90 sen a share. The bulk of the proceeds will be used to settle the balance purchase consideration for two vessels, namely Blooming Wisdom (34.6%) and Helms 1 (18.6%). Another portion of the proceeds will go towards redeeming its cumulative redeemable non-convertible preference shares (CRNCPS), working capital, repayment of bank borrowings, and estimated listing expenses.

The executive director and group CEO Datuk Darren Kee Chit Huei said that the expected surge in offshore activities, coupled with the limited supply of suitable vessels in the industry, bodes well for local offshore accommodation vessel players like Keyfield. During the IPO stage, the 40 million Keyfield shares made available to the Malaysian public were oversubscribed 9.69 times, indicating strong interest from investors. The 71.8 million and 73.2 million new shares available via private placement to selected investors and Miti-approved Bumiputera investors, respectively, were also fully placed out.
