The Company has received Shareholders approval from the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders held on December 20, 2012 for issuing new shares of up to 10% of the issued and paid up capital in the Company.

Under the terms of the ASA, Tribeca will subscribe to 100,000,000 new shares in the Company at a price of Rp. 3,000 per share for a total amount of Rp. 300 billion (roughly USD 30.9 million).

Under the terms of the Mandate Letter, IFC will consider providing up to USD 100 million under its own loan account, mobilize USD 400 million from parallel lenders on a syndicated basis, and provide equity of up to USD 25 million (10%). PAU is now in advanced discussions with IFC, and expects financial closure by July 2013.
