BAKRIE FORMS STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP WITH BORNEO - REDUCING DEBT BY USD 1 BILLION


Press Release - Enhancing the standing of “Indonesia Inc.” at the London Stock Exchange PT Bakrie & Brothers Tbk (“BNBR” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that as a follow up to our announcement dated 7 October  2011, the Company and another Bakrie related entity, Long Haul Holdings (“LHH” - collectively known as “Bakrie Group”), has embarked on a strategic partnership with  PT Borneo Lumbung Energi & Metal Tbk (“BORN”) with the signing of a Sales and Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) which took place in Jakarta on 31 October 2011.

Under the terms of the SPA and upon completion of the transaction, Bakrie Group and BORN will own indirectly 47.6% shareholding in London listed Bumi plc, which in return owns direct and indirect investments in PT Bumi Resources Tbk, PT Berau Coal Energy Tbk and PT Bumi Resources Minerals Tbk.

The transaction is valued at USD 1 billion which values Bumi plc’s shares at approximately GBP10.91 at the date of announcement, representing a premium of:

• Approximately 46% to the closing price of Bumi plc’s shares on the LSE on 28 October 2011 and approximately 45% premium to the last 20-day volumeweighted average trading price of Bumi plc’s shares.

• Approximately 5% premium to the last 6 month volume-weighted average trading price of approximately GBP10.34

The consideration will be payable in cash and Bakrie Group will use the proceeds from the transaction to pay down a financing facility initially coordinated by CS (“CS Loan”), therefore reducing BNBR’s overall debt position considerably.

Bakrie Group expects to complete the transaction on or around the end of December 2011 following BORN shareholders approving the transaction and satisfaction of regulatory and other approvals. 

“This transaction is another important step forward for the Company as it enhances our objectives for the creation of an “Indonesia Inc.” in an international mining company. The deleveraging aspect of this transaction is also important as it provides BNBR with a healthier and stronger balance sheet. Furthermore, we have again demonstrated our commitment to meet our creditors’ obligations and highly appreciate their support towards BNBR especially during these volatile market conditions,” said Bobby Gafur Umar, President Director and CEO of BNBR.

BNBR will make appropriate disclosures upon completion of all relevant documentation and approvals.

Credit Suisse assisted BNBR in a financial advisory capacity
