DEUTSCHE, BECKKETT CLAIMING ADARO WIN - THE JAKARTA GLOBE
Both Deutsche Bank AG and Beckkett, an investment firm controlled by Indonesian tycoon Sukanto Tanoto, claimed victory on Tuesday after Singapore’s highest court ruled that while Deutsche Bank had not taken proper steps to sell a $100 million stake in Indonesia’s second-biggest coal mine, Deutsche could counterclaim as much as $86.9 million in losses.
The case is the result of an epic seven-year battle between two of Indonesia’s richest families for control of Adaro Indonesia — the country’s second-biggest coal mining company — that began in 2002 in the wake of the Asian financial crisis after a Beckkett company, Asminco, defaulted on the loan, made by Deutsche Bank.
Beckkett claimed that Deutsche had sold off the shares to a company controlled by Edwin Soeryadjaya, without informing Beckett and at an extreme discount.
The Singapore Court of Appeal ruled on Monday that Deutsche may have to pay unspecified damages for not getting the best price for the shares, which were sold for $46 million to a company controlled by Edwin, the owner of Astra International Group
'The claim by Beckkett is ridiculous and entirely speculative. Deutsche Bank will have the opportunity to present its evidence.'

However, the court also ruled that the German bank had lost the balance of the loan, plus interest and costs totaling $86.5 million, in the wake of the default.
Both sides will go back to court in an attempt to assess damages, with Beckkett claiming Deutsche is liable for as much as $150 million.
Beckkett lost control of Adaro to Edwin when the German bank sold the shares it held as collateral for an Asminco loan worth $100 million to Dianlia Setyamukti, controlled by Edwin for $46 million.
Beckkett has repeatedly alleged in Singaporean and Indonesian courts that Deutsche Bank had sold the shares for far less than they were worth and has so far vainly sought to recover them through lawsuits.
Although a Singapore high court ruled in 2007 that Deutsche Bank had acted lawfully and in good faith in the sale of the Beckkett stake, the appellate court ruled it had not taken proper steps to sell the stake and that another hearing would be necessary to determine damages.
The court, however, did uphold Deutsche Bank’s claim of losses for the balance of the loan after the sale of the pledged shares and interest and costs, allowing both sides to claim victory.
Michael West, a Deutsche Bank spokesman, said in an e-mail to the Jakarta Globe that the court’s ruling was a confirmation that the bank had acted lawfully, allowing Deutsche to counterclaim the loan and other losses.
However, Rizal Maris, a Beckkett spokesman, also said in an e-mail to the Globe on Tuesday, that Deutsche Bank may have to compensate the company following the court verdict.
“Taking into account the accrued interest on $276 million until today and even after setting off the bank’s counterclaim in full, the amount of damages owing to Beckkett by the bank could still be in excess of $150 million,” Rizal said.
“The claim by Beckkett is ridiculous and entirely speculative,” West said. “Deutsche Bank will have the opportunity to present its evidence supporting its valuation.”
