Salim cedes 5% of affiliate
Article Abstract:
Salim Group of Indonesia has maintained its strong hold on its affiliate First Pacific Co., despite a deal to cede 5% of First Pacific to the government of Indonesia. Salim ceded the shares, which amounts to about HK$273 million (US$35.2 million), as part of an agreement with the Indonesian Bank Restructuring Agency to pay 48 trillion rupiah (US$4.3 billion) in debts to the government. Salim contracted the debts through its unprofitable bank, PT Bank Central Asia. According to First Pacific, Salim and its associates have remained the company's largest shareholding group because even after the hand over, the group still holds 49% of the company.
