Woori Bank plans to buy a 33 percent stake in a small Indonesian bank.

Woori unit Bank Woori Indonesia said it signed an acquisition agreement on June 8 to buy 764.4 million shares in Bank Himpunan Saudara, pending regulatory approval.

Bank Saudara told Reuters in late January that it planned to expand in Southeast Asia’s biggest economy by bringing in a strategic investor through a rights issue.

The stock has jumped more than 86 percent since the Jan. 25 interview. Bank Saudara, which focuses on pensioners and small businesses across the islands of Java and Bali, currently trades at Rp 530 a share, or 2.8 times price to book value, with a $139 million market capitalization, according to Thomson Reuters’ Starmine.

What is Lorem Ipsum?

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
