Converge joins a host of Southeast Asian companies planning listings, including Thailand Siam Cement Group Packaging’s $1.5 billion IPO, signalling a revival in investor interest in region’s underperforming markets. At the upper end, the IPO of up to 1.73 billion shares could raise as much as 32.87 billion pesos , including the over-subscription option.
