Telkom offer is shadowed by unsigned contracts

Article Abstract:

The planned global stock offering of PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia (Telkom) in Nov. 1995 may be delayed because the company's build-operate-transfer contracts with five consortia were not signed on schedule on Sep. 27, 1995. The delay could cause investors to lose interest in the stock offering, which Telkom expects to raise $2.5 billion. The contracts will allow the consortia to run the domestic telephone service nationwide except for Jakarta and East Java until Jan. 1, 2011. The planned stock offering in Jakarta, New York and London's stock exchanges will be one of the biggest in the world for 1995.
