PT Bank Danamon Indonesia's (BDMN.JK) IDR4 trillion (US$335 million) rights issue has already received pledges from 90% of the bank's existing shareholders, people close to the situation said Thursday.

Subscriptions to the rights offer begin April 7 and end April 14.

One person said a number of parties that don't have any holdings in the bank have expressed interest in purchasing the new shares by sub-underwriting the deal.

He declined to comment on the identity of the parties. Sub-underwriters underwrite the risk taken on by underwriters.
