MR DIY is scheduled to be listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) on Thursday, December 19, 2024, under the stock code MDIY. The company has appointed PT CIMB Niaga Sekuritas and PT Mandiri Sekuritas as the underwriters for the issuance. Through this IPO, MR DIY has the potential to raise up to Rp 4.71 trillion. This amount includes Rp 471.06 billion from the new share offering and Rp 4.24 trillion from the sale of shares by existing shareholders.
