Uni-Fuels raises $11.5m in US maiden offering

Proceeds will be used for boosting reselling activities.

Uni-Fuels Holdings Limited has raised $11.5m (US$8.4m) from its initial public offering (IPO) on the Nasdaq Stock Market, making it the first Singapore-based marine fuel provider to be listed in the US.

In a statement, the company said the underwritten IPO offered 2,100,000 Class A Ordinary Shares at $5.48 (US$4) per share. The offering closed on 15 January, and the stocks commenced trading on 14 January under the ticker symbol “UFG.”

Uni-Fuels has granted the Underwriters an option to purchase up to 315,000 additional shares within 45 days of the effective date of the company’s registration statement in relation to the IPO.

Proceeds from the IPO will be allocated for scaling up reselling activities to gain market share from existing and new markets, strengthening workforce and expanding its market presence, and as cash reserve and general corporate purposes.

Uni-Fuels CEO Koh Kuan Hua also said the company plans to enhance its present offerings to customers and accelerate its provision of alternative marine fuels, such as biofuel and liquefied natural gas, that align with global regulatory decarbonisation requirements.

R. F. Lafferty & Co., Inc. acted as the sole book-running manager for the IPO.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
