CEB (CAPE EMS Berhad) has recently applied for a bridging loan to alleviate short-term cash flow pressures under specific financial needs. This loan can bridge the funding gap before existing assets are converted into available funds, usually to support ongoing acquisitions or other capital expenditures.

According to reports, CEB's management has stated that one of the purposes of this loan is to clear assets unrelated to the core business of the company before going public, making the company's image more attractive to potential investors in the capital markets. This strategy can make the IPO process smoother and may increase institutional investors' interest. CEB has also received attention from some institutions such as Equinas, as well as rumored interest from Credor Fund, but ultimately no agreement was reached due to price or conditions.

If this loan is successfully approved, it may bring positive effects to CEB. Not only can it help the company operate more flexibly financially, but it can also lay the foundation for future growth and performance after going public. This may have a positive impact on the stock price, especially when the market is confident in the company's future prospects.
