Executive Director of Synergy House, Mr. Tan Eu Tah said, "The signing of the underwriting agreement marks an important milestone for us as it brings us one step closer towards being a listed company. We would like to extend our gratitude to Bursa Securities for granting the approval for our listing. We are also pleased to have Kenanga IB on board as our Principal Adviser, Sponsor, Underwriter and Placement Agent. Our IPO will provide us the capital to grow our business which business model we have adopted since 2004. Since 2004, we have focused solely on the design, development and sales of RTA home furniture and outsource all manufacturing works to third party manufacturers."
Executive Director of Synergy House, Mr. Teh Yee Luen said, "The funds raised via the IPO will enable us to continue to grow our business-to-consumer ("B2C") segment which we started in 2012.

In tandem with our strategy to continue growing our B2C segment, part of our IPO proceeds will be used to purchase inventories for our B2C segment as well as for the implementation of e-commerce advertising and promotion strategies.
Executive Director, Head of Group Investment Banking and Islamic Banking of Kenanga IB, Datuk Roslan Hj Tik said, "We would like to thank Synergy House for having us onboard for the Group's IPO exercise.
