Through participation in a private placement, HSBC Bank Plc, a foreign investor, acquired over 224.77 million shares of PT Apexindo Pratama Duta Tbk (APEX) on Tuesday, July 16. This investor instantly acquired 6.34% of the issuer's shares through PT Bank HSBC Indonesia. The issuer provides onshore and offshore drilling services to the oil and gas, geothermal, and methane gas industries. Aside from that, the impact of APEX's private placement caused two of its biggest investors to see a decrease in their share portions, even though the total number of shares held remained unchanged. PT Aserra Capital, the owner of 1.89 billion shares, used to own 64.69% of the shares, but as of right now, it only owns roughly 53.51%. Furthermore, Augusta Investments I Pte Ltd, a foreign investor that owns 220.76 million shares, reported a decrease in the share portion from 7.53% to 6.23%.
