The retailer and distributor of The Body Shop products in Malaysia since 1984 has yet to fix the issue price and the opening and closing dates of the IPO. But local news reports have suggested the IPO may raise up to MYR200 million (US$48.6 million).

InNature has indicated plans to use any IPO proceeds for capital expenditure, working capital and new business development.

The firm has 89 locations in Malaysia and 26 in Vietnam, including online platforms. It plans to enter Cambodia later this year.
