GLENCORE BUYS STAKE IN MINER BUMI


The Jakarta globe reported that, Switzerland-based Glencore International, the world’s largest commodities trader, has quietly acquired a $200 million stake in Bumi Resources, Indonesia’s largest coal producer.

Bakrie financial director Eddy Soeparno said Glencore had bought the stock since June. “We have an option to buy back the stake from Glencore within two years,” Soeparno said.

Based on Bumi’s average closing share price and the rupiah’s exchange rate, the deal may mean Glencore has about a 5 percent stake in Bumi.

Eddy said Glencore — a marketing agent for Bumi coal — saw Bumi shares appreciating.

Bumi director Dileep Srivastava confirmed on Wednesday that Glencore had been acquiring shares but would not say how many.

“Based on [Bumi’s] financial records released on June 30, no one company owns more than 5 percent of Bumi’s shares, except for Bakrie & Brothers, which owns 21 percent in several blocks,” he said.

Bakrie & Brothers is the holding company controlled by the family of Aburizal Bakrie, a business tycoon and politician.

Privately held Glencore has become a global marketing agent outside Japan for Kaltim Prima Coal, Bumi’s main coal mining unit.

Glencore supplies metals, minerals, oil products, coal and agricultural products to companies in more than 40 countries. Its sales turnover for the 2009 fiscal year was $106.4 billion, and its assets were $66.3 billion at the end of 2009.

Glencore spokesman Carlos Perezagua declined to comment.

A source at Bakrie & Brothers said the investment holding firm did not have enough cash to increase its stake in Bumi but also saw a potential upside for the miner’s shares.

Bumi stock has tumbled 29 percent this year, underperforming the Jakarta Composite Index’s 27 percent rise, because of concerns about corporate governance and high debt. Its forward PE ratio is 6.15, versus 10.36 for rival Adaro Energy.
