Malaysia Proposes LEAP Market Reforms to Ease Public Listings for ECF-Backed Companies
Bursa Malaysia and the Securities Commission have proposed changes to the LEAP Market framework, aiming to provide equity crowdfunding-backed companies with a streamlined path to public listing. The reforms would allow ECF-funded firms to list on the LEAP Market after raising at least RM5 million, including from VC or PE sources. The proposals also include retail investor participation and a simplified transfer process to the ACE Market.
