1st Company in South East Asia to Shape the Wellness Industry, Setting Course to the U.S Capital Market
AGAPE ATP Corporation, a player in Malaysia’s sustainable health and wellness sector, has transitioned from the over-the-counter (OTC) to Nasdaq stock exchange on 11 October 2023.
Dr How believes the decision to list on Nasdaq was a strategic move to expose Agape to the international markets, starting with the U.S. and propelling the company towards Europe and beyond.
“The successful listing on Nasdaq underscores the unwavering trust placed in us by our investors and shareholders. As we tread this new path, we remain firmly rooted in our mission while preparing to secure the immense opportunities that awaits us in the global arena.”

“The journey to Nasdaq is not just a corporate milestone for Agape ATP; it is a reflection of our relentless dedication to sustainable health, wellness, and the betterment of society at large. Listing on Nasdaq gives us the credibility to expand internationally. It also provides the opportunity to support local small-medium enterprises (SMEs) with untapped potential,” founder and chief executive officer Datuk Seri Dr How Kok Choong said in a statement.
With this in mind, being listed on the NASDAQ will increase AGAPE’s transparency and enhance company credibility with its shareholders, stakeholders, & business partners.
“Given the means & resources from the listing exercise, we anticipate better strategic investment activities, partnerships, collaborations, & joint ventures among the industry players. We consistently emphasize that lifting the wellness economy should not be a sole effort by our company, but a mutual effort between different players in the industry.”
Thus, this would also open AGAPE to more resources & talents for the company’s upcoming development plans that focus on personalized wellness solutions. Furthermore, AGAPE is also expecting to expand into neighbouring countries in the ASEAN region. “From that outlook, listing on the US capital market is assembling a mechanism & strategy for us to attain our objectives. To gather on the efforts of the industry, to speak about the evolution of the industry rather than just our company alone,” Dr. How explained.
