Underwriters that were appointed for the IPO are Ciptadana Sekuritas Asia, Mandiri Sekuritas, and UBS Sekuritas Indonesia.

Meanwhile, another 17 percent of the IPO proceeds are allocated to the repayment of a syndicated loan. A further 11 percent will be used to settle part of Cemindo Gemilang’s debt to Sinoma International Engineering Co. Ltd. and 6 percent to settle part of its debt to Sinoma Engineering Indonesia. Only the remaining eight percent will be used for capital expenditure.
