In a watershed moment for the Malaysian capital markets, Cape EMS Berhad (Cape EMS) and Kapital DX Sdn Bhd (KLDX) have developed a pioneering financial instrument that bridges the disparate worlds of industrial manufacturing, renewable energy, and digital assets.
This issuance represents Malaysia’s first tokenised project financing specifically dedicated to a renewable energy project, setting a precedent in Malaysia and regionally, for how mid-tier infrastructure projects can access the capital markets efficiently.
Cape Renewables Sdn Bhd, the green energy arm of Main Market-listed Cape EMS Berhad, has officially launched a fundraising programme on KLDX, Malaysia’s first Securities Commission-regulated, Initial Exchange Offering (IEO) platform. The issuance is structured as a Renewable Energy Infrastructure Note aiming to fund the installation and operation of an industrial rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) system for a prominent industrial conglomerate client in the automotive industry.
This transaction is distinguished by several innovative features:
- Digital Tokenisation: The investment note is issued as a digital security on a blockchain-enabled platform, allowing for fractional ownership, broader investor participation and secondary marketability.
- Corporate Guarantee: The notes are backed by a corporate guarantee from the parent company, Cape EMS Berhad, thereby enhancing the credit profile of the issuance from a project-finance risk level to a corporate-credit risk level.
- Attractive Yield: The instrument offers an attractive rate of return that positions it competitively against traditional fixed-income products and fixed deposits, with a coupon that is payable quarterly and a tenure of 24 months.
The launch is underpinned by strong endorsements from the participating entities, reflecting a unified vision for the future of private market financing and green infrastructure.
Selvarany Rasiah, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of KLDX:
“This issuance marks a pivotal evolution in Malaysia’s private markets. By leveraging KLDX’s blockchain technology, we are not only streamlining the fundraising process for Cape Renewables but are also fulfilling our core mission: to democratise access to high-quality, private market assets. Traditionally, infrastructure financing of this nature was the exclusive domain of institutional banks or large private equity firms. Today, we are opening this door to a wider spectrum of investors, allowing them to participate via our website, in the green economy with transparency, efficiency, and marketability. The issuance of this Investment Note by Cape Renewables demonstrates how KLDX’s regulated digital platform can bridge the funding gap for sustainable projects while offering investors attractive, risk-adjusted returns.”
Tee Kim Chin, Managing Director and Group Chief Executive Officer of Cape EMS Berhad:
“At Cape EMS, we are aggressively pivoting towards a sustainable future through our ‘CEB 2.0’ strategy, which places smart infrastructure and renewable energy at the heart of our growth plans, which are aligned with Malaysia’s broader energy transition goals, the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR), and the New Industrial Master Plan (NIMP) 2030.
This tokenised funding programme on KLDX is a strategic enabler, allowing us to diversify our capital sources beyond traditional banking lines. It empowers our subsidiary, Cape Renewables, to swiftly execute critical projects for our clients — such as this landmark solar installation for a leading automotive customer — without weighing heavily on the group’s primary cash reserves.
It proves that Cape EMS can innovate not just in engineering, but in financial structuring. We are optimistic that this pioneering financing model will accelerate our ability to serve national and industrial decarbonization and energy efficiency needs while delivering value to our shareholders.”
Barry Lim, Managing Director of Cape Renewables Sdn Bhd:
“The demand for industrial renewable energy solutions is surging as manufacturers and power-intensive industries race to meet sustainability and power efficiency targets. This initial funding is part of a longer-term financing program that provides Cape Renewables with the agility to deploy capital immediately into project execution. By securing this financing, we can ensure the timely delivery of the solar PV system for our client, helping them significantly reduce their carbon footprint and energy costs. The KLDX platform offers us a streamlined, efficient route to market, and we are excited to offer investors a chance to directly support—and benefit from—the real-world implementation of green technology in Malaysia.”
