Investment description

A private investor intended to exit one of its investments in a state-owned enterprise (SOE) in Indonesia after acquiring a significant minority stake in 2006. The SOE engaged in the production and distribution of primary construction materials and was the market leader with a 55% share of total industry output. The exit strategy would like to include a long-term enterprise-wide strategic plan, which was the first endeavor that the SOE had undertaken since its foundation in 1957. The objectives of the strategic plan were to articulate the long-term growth potential and identify key initiatives required to unlock the inherent value of the entity.
