Hi Pon, Have you heard anything regarding Demco’s plans for the funds received from the eventual WEH IPO?
Assuming it IPOs at Nusa’s buy in price, we are looking at 2.3B in additional cash swimming around on the balance sheet. They don’t seem to be very leveraged but also has a good backlog of work on hand.
Thanks
