Merry Riana Education (MERI) Soon to IPO on the Development Board: Merry Riana and Hermanto Tanoko's Strategic Steps to Move Indonesian People's Education

Jakarta, 24 June 2025 -After more than a decade of providing inspiration and transformational education for tens of thousands of children and teenagers in Indonesia, Merry Riana Education (MRE) is now ready to enter a new chapter:listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchangewith stock codeMERI on Development Board.

This step is not just business expansion. This is a long-term mission to strengthen the character and soft skills education ecosystem in Indonesia — with the same spirit when MRE was first initiated...from a small garage, to now become a market leader.

The Right Momentum for an IPO: From Growth to a Strategic Leap

With consistent average annual growth in the last 3 years, 34 Merry Riana Learning Center locations, and 3 continuously growing revenue lines (Learning Center, Events, and Digital Learning), MRE is at a strategic point. This IPO was designed not to get out of the game — but ratheraccelerating the MRE marathon into the future.

In the midst of an ever-changing sector, education remains a primary need. It is timeless, not subject to economic cycles. That's where MRE is: relevant, powerful, and still very early in its development potential.

Locked Trust: 5 Year Founder Lock-Up

In the world of capital markets, nothing is more convincing than real commitment. And at MRE, commitment isn't just spoken—it's proven. Merry Riana, as the founder and face of this brand, has taken a rare step: locking up all of her ownership for 5 full years.

This is a declaration: he does not sell momentary hope, but plants a long-term vision. That the value of this company is not yet fully reflected today — and those who were on board from the start will walk together to greater heights.

"I'm not just running a business. I'm building the future. I believe MERI's value is not only present today — but will continue to grow in the next 5 years. Therefore, I choose to stay, with you."—Merry Riana, Founder & President Commissioner of MRE.

This commitment becomesmoral guarantee for investors: that the founder remains standing at the front, not at the exit.

Backed by Strategy, Not Just a Dream: Tancorp's Entry

ReputationHermanto Tanokoas a national business figure is beyond doubt. ThroughTancorp, he became a strategic investor in MRE. "After this IPO, Tancorp will also continue to actively support the expansion and growth of MERI. We will be FULL SUPPORT" —Hermanto Tanoko, Founder of Tancorp & MRE Strategic Investor.

The entry of Tancorp adds to MRE's credibility, providing corporate support, extensive network access, andbenchmarkshigh professionalism. This is a signal to the market: that MRE not only has spirit, but also structure. Not only do you have a dream, but also a road map to achieve it.

Fund for Development, Not Experimentation

IPO proceeds will be used in a measurable manner for expansion:

With a public offering structure: a maximum of 266,660,000 shares or a maximum of 25% of the total issued and paid-up capital after the IPO and an offering price ranging from IDR 110 to IDR 150, - it is hoped that the proceeds from the IPO will be a maximum of IDR 39,999,000,000.

Become Public, Become More Responsible

"The future of education is not determined by who can create a curriculum, but who has the courage to build an ecosystem. Education is not just about teaching, but about mobilizing. Parents, teachers, communities and the business world must walk together. And let us take this first step. A step that is not only big, but meaningful. For one goal:Mobilizing the Education of the Indonesian People."closed Merry Riana.
