What Is RNG Tech Berhad?

RNG Tech Berhad is a vending massage service provider - that is, a self-service massage service delivered through chairs that operate automatically in public locations. The company manages a network of 'Rest N Go' branded massage chairs placed at high-traffic spots. Based on the disclosed information, RNG Tech is among the largest self-service vending massage chair operators in Malaysia.

RNG Tech's business model is divided into three main segments. Understanding all three is important because it shows the company does not rely on a single revenue source, but instead operates several layers of business model.

1. Vending Massage Services

This is the core of RNG Tech's business. The company operates self-service massage chairs where users pay for a single massage session directly at the chair. This operation covers two main formats, namely RNG Station and RNG Premium Outlet. In addition, the company manages the entire network of massage chairs at strategic locations - including placement, maintenance, and revenue collection.

2. Vending Massage Chair Rental Plan

The second segment is the rental of massage chairs to corporate and individual customers through rental plans for fixed periods. This model allows RNG Tech to generate recurring income without having to bear the operating cost of each location itself, since the renting customer places the chair at their own premises.

3. Vending Massage Business Licensing

The third segment is the licensing of the 'Rest N Go' brand and business model. Through this approach, RNG Tech licenses its business model to operators in overseas markets and earns royalty income. This is how the company expands its international footprint without having to invest heavily in direct operations in every country.

Where Do 'Rest N Go' Massage Chairs Operate?

The key strength of the vending massage model lies in location. The higher the footfall at a given spot, the greater the potential pool of users who stop for a quick massage session. RNG Tech places its 'Rest N Go' massage chairs at public high-traffic locations such as:

• Shopping malls
• Airports
• Highway rest stops (R&R)
• Bus and train terminals
• Recreation centres
• Other public gathering spots

In terms of geographic footprint, RNG Tech's operations are not limited to Malaysia. The company also has operations in Singapore, Thailand, Cambodia, and Brunei, while its licensing business covers Vietnam and the Philippines. This regional spread gives RNG Tech exposure to a broader market rather than relying solely on domestic demand.

What Is the ACE Market and Why Does It Matter?

RNG Tech has chosen to list on the ACE Market rather than the Main Market. Understanding this difference matters in setting your expectations as an investor. The ACE Market (Access, Certainty, Efficiency) is a sponsor-driven market on Bursa Malaysia, designed specifically for growing companies with growth potential that do not yet meet the size and track-record requirements of the Main Market.

This is precisely why the role of a sponsor like M&A Securities is so critical - the sponsor is responsible for assessing the company's suitability to list and for continuing to monitor its compliance after listing. From an investor's standpoint, ACE Market companies generally carry a higher risk profile than established blue-chip companies on the Main Market, but at the same time offer more aggressive growth potential if the business develops as planned. You can read more about the listing process on the official Bursa Malaysia website.

In short, the right way to evaluate an ACE Market IPO such as RNG Tech should emphasise understanding the sustainability of the business model and growth plans, rather than merely chasing short-term price spikes.

RNG Tech's Shariah-Compliant Status

For many Muslim investors in Malaysia, Shariah-compliant status is the first filter before considering any stock. Good news for this group of investors: the RNG Tech Berhad IPO has been approved as Shariah-compliant by the Shariah Advisory Council (SAC) of the Securities Commission Malaysia.

This status means the company's core business activities, financial structure, and revenue sources have been evaluated and found to meet the Shariah guidelines set by the SAC. You can refer to the list of Shariah-compliant securities issued by the SAC to understand the criteria behind this classification. That said, keep in mind that Shariah-compliant status assesses compliance, not a guarantee of share price performance.

How to Apply for the RNG Tech Berhad IPO

To take part in this public offering, three application methods are available. You only need to pick the one most convenient for you:

• Application Form - a physical application method using the official form enclosed with the prospectus.
• Electronic Share Application (ESA) - applications made through the ATMs of participating banks.
• Internet Share Application - online applications through the internet banking of participating banks and brokers.

For most retail investors today, the internet application method through online banking is the fastest and most convenient. You will also need an active CDS (Central Depository System) account to receive any shares allotted to you. If you are still unclear about the different account types available, read our guide on the difference between a Direct CDS account and a Nominee account first.

Applications open on 16 June 2026 and close on 24 June 2026 at 5.00 pm. The balloting process for the public share allocation is expected to be carried out on 26 June 2026, followed by allotment on 3 July 2026, before the shares begin official trading on 7 July 2026.

Who Is M&A Securities? The Sole Sponsor & Underwriter

In this offering, M & A Securities Sdn Bhd holds the combined role of Principal Adviser, Sponsor, Underwriter, and Placement Agent. For an ACE Market listing, the presence of an experienced sponsor is important because the sponsor is responsible for ensuring the company meets the listing requirements and continues to comply with the rules for a period after listing.

The underwriter role, meanwhile, provides a layer of assurance to the company: if part of the shares offered to the public are not fully subscribed, the underwriter is committed to taking up the remaining shares. This reduces the risk of the offering failing from the company's perspective.

What Investors Should Consider Before Applying

IPOs often attract attention because of the potential for first-day trading gains. However, a low IPO price such as RM0.13 does not automatically mean the stock is "cheap" or guaranteed to rise. Here are a few things worth thinking about:

• Understand the business model, not just the price. The vending massage business depends heavily on user footfall at public locations and chair utilisation rates. Consider how sustainable this demand is over the long term.
• Read the prospectus in full. Detailed financial information, risk factors, and the use of proceeds are all disclosed in the official prospectus on Bursa Malaysia. Do not make a decision based on headlines alone.
• Be aware of post-listing risk. Not every IPO surges. Some shares fall below their offer price on the very first day. See a real example in our analysis of an IPO that fell below its offer price.
• Understand the lock-up period. Major shareholders are usually subject to a moratorium on selling. Understanding cornerstone investors and lock-up periods helps you anticipate selling pressure that may appear several months after listing.
• Do not over-leverage. If you are considering financing to apply for an IPO, first understand the risks through our guide on margin financing & IPO financing.
