• BEKS to conduct right issue
Bank Pembangunan Daerah Banten (BEKS), commonly known as Bank Banten, plans to
conduct a rights issue by issuing 5.185B Series C shares with a nominal value of IDR 50 per
share, representing approximately 9.996% of the company’s post-issue paid-up capital. The
rights issue is scheduled for Oct 24, pending approval from shareholders at the Extraordinary
General Meeting (EGM) on 17 Oct 24. The proceeds, estimated at IDR 114.102B after deducting
issuance costs, will be allocated for the acquisition of land and buildings to support business
operations, with the remainder used for business development. The Provincial Government
of Banten, holding a 66.11% stake in BEKS, intends to exercise its rights through an in-kind
contribution of assets, including several properties in Banten province. This strategic move
aims to strengthen BEKS’s capital structure and expand its operational capacity, potentially
enhancing its market position and financial performance. (Stockwatch)
