CERTAIN DEFINITIONS, CONVENTIONS AND GENERAL INFORMATION

Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this Form 20-F to the “Company,” “Indosat,” “we,” “us,” and “our” are to PT Indosat Tbk and its consolidated subsidiaries. All references to “Indonesia” are references to the Republic of Indonesia. All references to the “Government” herein are references to the Government of the Republic of Indonesia. References to “United States” or “U.S.” are to the United States of America. References to “United Kingdom” are to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. References to “Indonesian rupiah” or “Rp” are to the lawful currency of Indonesia and references to “U.S. dollars” or “US$” are to the lawful currency of the United States. Certain figures (including percentages) have been rounded for convenience, and therefore indicated and actual sums, quotients, percentages and ratios may differ.

Our consolidated financial statements as of January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2009 and 2010, and for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 included in this annual report have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Our consolidated financial statements as of January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2009, and for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2009 included in this annual report contains the restatement of our consolidated statement of financial position, consolidated statement of comprehensive income and consolidated statement of changes in stockholders’ equity for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2009, to cover the accounting policy change relating to leases, which is detailed in Note 2g to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report. Before January 1, 2010, under IFRS, the costs to acquire landrights, as well as other expenses associated with such acquisition, are capitalized as prepaid landrights lease, and were amortized over the period of the right to use the land obtained from the Government, ranging from 20 to 30 years. Starting January 1, 2010, based on an amendment to IAS 17, we classify our land leases as finance leases and present them in our financial statements as property and equipment. We give retroactive application to this accounting change, and amortize land leases over 50 years.

Solely for the convenience of the reader, certain Indonesian rupiah amounts have been translated into U.S. dollars at specified rates. Unless otherwise indicated, U.S. dollar equivalent information for amounts in Indonesian rupiah is translated at the Indonesian Central Bank Rate for December 31, 2010, which was Rp8,991 to US$1.00. The exchange rate of Indonesian rupiah for U.S. dollars on April 20, 2011 was Rp8,657 to US$1.00. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York does not certify for customs purposes a noon buying rate for cable transfers in Indonesian rupiah. No representation is made that the Indonesian rupiah or U.S. dollar amounts shown herein could have been or could be converted into U.S. dollars or Indonesian rupiah, as the case may be, at any particular rate or at all. See “Item 3: Key Information—Exchange Rate Information” for further information regarding rates of exchange between Indonesian rupiah and U.S. dollars.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Form 20-F contains “forward-looking statements,” as defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act, Section 21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, and within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding our expectations and projections for our future operating performance and business prospects.

“ARPM”

the average monthly revenue per minute (in Indonesian rupiah), computed by dividing revenues from monthly recurring prepaid and postpaid cellular services, excluding non-recurring revenues such as activation fees and special auctions of telephone numbers, for the relevant period, by the total minutes (billed and unbilled) of outgoing call usage of prepaid and postpaid cellular subscribers for such period

 

“ARPU”

Average Revenue Per User, an evaluation statistic for a network operator’s subscriber base. ARPU is computed by dividing monthly recurring prepaid and postpaid cellular services revenues (usage charges, value-added services, interconnection revenues and monthly subscription charges), excluding non-recurring revenues such as activation fees and special auctions of telephone numbers, for the relevant period by the average number of prepaid and postpaid cellular subscribers. The average number of prepaid and postpaid cellular subscribers is the sum of the total number of active cellular subscribers at the beginning and end of each month divided by two. We define an “active cellular subscriber” as a cellular subscriber who: (i) in the case of a postpaid cellular subscriber, has no outstanding balance remaining due more than 120 days after the last statement date; or (ii) in the case of a prepaid cellular subscriber, recharges the SIM card within a 33-day “grace period” immediately following the SIM card’s expiry date by adding certain minimum amounts to the SIM card. Due to changes in the method used to calculate the number of our prepaid cellular subscribers, our ARPU set forth in this annual report are not comparable between certain periods.

We have defined EBITDA as earnings before interest, non-operating income and expense, income tax expense, depreciation and minority interest in net income of subsidiaries as reported in the consolidated financial statements included in this annual report prepared under IFRS. EBITDA is not a standard measure under IFRS. As the telecommunications business is capital intensive, capital expenditure requirements and levels of debt and interest expenses may have a significant impact on the net income of companies with similar operating results. Therefore, we believe that EBITDA provides a useful reflection of our operating results and that net income is the most directly comparable financial measure to EBITDA as an indicator of our operating performance. You should not consider our definition of EBITDA in isolation or as an indicator of operating performance, liquidity or any other standard measure under IFRS, or other companies’ definition of EBITDA. Our definition of EBITDA does not account for taxes and other non-operating cash expenses. Funds depicted by this measure may not be available for debt service due to covenant restrictions, capital expenditure requirements and other commitments. The following table reconciles profit attributable to owners of the Company under IFRS to our definition of EBITDA for the periods indicated:

EBITDA margin is computed by dividing EBITDA as defined in note (5) above by total operating revenues recorded under IFRS.

(7) 

Capital expenditures is computed by adding total additions of property and equipment and total additions of goodwill and other intangible assets recorded under IFRS.

(8) 

We define total debt as total loans payable and bonds payable (current and non-current maturities), unamortized issuance cost (loans, bonds and notes), unamortized consent solicitation fees (loans and bonds) and unamortized discounts (loans and notes) recorded under IFRS.

(9) 

We define net debt as total debt less cash and cash equivalents recorded under IFRS.

(10) 

U.S. GAAP amounts reflect adjustments resulting principally from differences in the accounting treatment of capitalization of interest expense, capitalization of net foreign exchange losses, revenue recognition, equity in net income (loss) of associated companies, amortization of goodwill, amortization of land rights, post-retirement benefit cost, pension plan and deferred income tax effect of U.S. GAAP adjustments.

(11) 

In 2007, the Government adopted a new cost-based interconnection regime, replacing the previous revenue-sharing interconnection regime. Under this new regime, we now report operating revenues on a gross basis rather than on a net-based method. Under the net-based method, we recognized interconnection income net of interconnection expenses. Under the gross basis method, we recognize interconnection income in operating revenue and interconnection expenses in operating expenses.

We have defined EBITDA as earnings before financing cost (including interest expense), interest income, income tax expense (net), depreciation and amortization expense, amortization of goodwill, loss on foreign exchange (net), loss on change in fair value of derivatives (net), other non-operating expenses (net), and minority interest in net income of subsidiaries as reported in the consolidated financial statements included in this report prepared under Indonesian GAAP. EBITDA is not a standard measure under either Indonesian GAAP or U.S. GAAP. As the telecommunications business is capital intensive, capital expenditure requirements and levels of debt and interest expenses may have a significant impact on the net income of companies with similar operating results. Therefore, we believe that EBITDA provides a useful reflection of our operating results and that net income is the most directly comparable financial measure to EBITDA as an indicator of our operating performance. You should not consider our definition of EBITDA in isolation or as an indicator of operating performance, liquidity or any other standard measure under either Indonesian GAAP or U.S. GAAP or other companies’ definition of EBITDA. Funds depicted by this measure may not be available for debt service due to covenant restrictions, capital expenditure requirements and other commitments. The definition of EBITDA under certain agreements related to our indebtedness may differ from the definition we use here.

Cellular revenue arising from airtime and roaming calls are recognized based on the duration of successful calls made through the Company’s cellular network, which up to December 31, 2007, had been presented on a net basis. To improve the comparability of the consolidated financial statements, the Company made accounts reclassification in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006 and 2007.

Bank Indonesia is the sole issuer of Indonesian rupiah and is responsible for maintaining its stability. Since 1970, Indonesia has implemented three exchange rate systems: (i) a fixed rate system between 1970 and 1978; (ii) a managed floating exchange rate system between 1978 and 1997; and (iii) a free-floating exchange rate system since August 14, 1997. Under the floating exchange rate system, Bank Indonesia maintained stability of the Indonesian rupiah through a trading band policy, pursuant to which Bank Indonesia would enter the foreign currency market and buy or sell Indonesian rupiah, as required, when trading in the Indonesian rupiah exceeded bid and offer prices announced by Bank Indonesia on a daily basis. On August 14, 1997, Bank Indonesia terminated the trading band policy and permitted the exchange rate for the Indonesian rupiah to float without an announced level at which it would intervene, which resulted in a substantial decrease in the value of the Indonesian rupiah relative to the U.S. dollar. Under the current system, the exchange rate of the Indonesian rupiah is determined by the market, reflecting the interaction of supply and demand in the market. However, Bank Indonesia may take measures to maintain a stable exchange rate. The prevailing exchange rate was Rp10,950 = US$1.00 as of December 31, 2008, Rp9,400 = US$1.00 as of December 31, 2009 and Rp8,991 = US$1.00 as of December 31, 2010, respectively. On April 20, 2011, the exchange rate was Rp8,657 per U.S. dollar. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York does not certify for customs purposes a noon buying rate for cable transfers in Indonesian rupiah.

The Indonesian rupiah has been and in general is freely convertible or transferable. Bank Indonesia has introduced regulations to restrict the movement of Indonesian rupiah from banks within Indonesia to offshore banks without underlying trade or investment reasons, thereby limiting offshore trading to existing sources of liquidity. In addition, Bank Indonesia has the authority to request information and data concerning the foreign exchange activities of all people and legal entities that are domiciled, or plan to reside, in Indonesia for at least one year.

Foreign Exchange

Foreign exchange controls were abolished in 1971, and Indonesia now maintains a liberal foreign exchange system that permits the free flow of foreign exchange. Capital transactions, including remittances of capital, profits, dividends and interests, are free from exchange controls. A number of regulations, however, have an impact on the exchange system. Bank Indonesia recently introduced regulations to restrict the movement of Indonesian rupiah from banks within Indonesia to offshore banks without underlying trade or investment reasons, thereby limiting offshore trading to existing sources of liquidity. In addition, Bank Indonesia has the authority to request information and data concerning the foreign exchange activities of all people and legal entities that are domiciled in Indonesia or plan to domicile in Indonesia for at least one year.

RISK FACTORS

Risks Relating to Indonesia

We are incorporated in Indonesia and substantially all of our operations, assets and customers are located in Indonesia. As a result, future political, economic, legal and social conditions in Indonesia, as well as certain actions and policies which the Government may, or may not, take or adopt may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Domestic, regional or global economic changes may adversely affect our business

The economic crisis which affected Southeast Asia, including Indonesia, from mid-1997 was characterized in Indonesia by, among other things, currency depreciation, negative economic growth, high interest rates, social unrest and extraordinary political events. These conditions had a material adverse effect on Indonesian businesses, including a material adverse effect on the quality and growth of our subscriber base and service offerings, which depend on the health of the overall Indonesian economy. In addition, the economic crisis resulted in the failure of many Indonesian companies to meet their debt obligations. Many Indonesian companies have not fully recovered from the economic crisis, and many such companies are still in the process of restructuring their debt obligations or are engaged in disputes arising from defaults under their debt obligations. More recently, the global financial crisis which was triggered in part by the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States, caused failures of large U.S. financial institutions and rapidly evolved into a global credit crisis. U.S. bank failures were followed by failures in a number of European banks and declines in various stock indexes, as well as large reductions in the market value of equities and commodities worldwide, including in Indonesia. The world economic downturn has adversely affected the economic performance of Indonesia, resulting in declining economic growth, slowing household consumption and weakening investment due to loss of external demand and increased uncertainty in the world economy. These conditions have had a negative impact on Indonesian businesses and consumers, which may result in reduced demand for telecommunication services.

Volatility in oil prices and potential food shortages may also cause an economic slowdown in many countries, including Indonesia. An economic downturn in Indonesia could also lead to additional defaults by Indonesian borrowers and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and prospects. The Government continues to have a large fiscal deficit and a high level of sovereign debt. Its foreign currency reserves are modest and the banking sector is weak and suffers from relatively high levels of non-performing loans. The current high inflation rate in Indonesia may also result in less disposable income available to consumers to spend or cause consumer purchasing power to decrease, which may reduce consumer demand for telecommunication services, including our services.

A loss of investor confidence in the financial systems of emerging and other markets, or other factors, including the deterioration of the global economic situation, may cause increased volatility in the Indonesian financial markets and a slowdown in economic growth or negative economic growth in Indonesia. Any such increased volatility or slowdown or negative growth could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and prospects.

Political and social instability may adversely affect us

Since 1998, Indonesia has experienced a process of democratic change, resulting in political and social events that have highlighted the unpredictable nature of Indonesia’s changing political landscape. These events have resulted in political instability as well as general social and civil unrest on certain occasions in the past few years. As a relatively new democratic country, Indonesia continues to face various socio-political issues and has, from time to time, experienced political instability and social and civil unrest.

Since 2000, thousands of Indonesians have participated in demonstrations in Jakarta and other Indonesian cities both for and against former President Wahid, former President Megawati, and current President

Yudhoyono, as well as in response to specific issues, including fuel subsidy reductions, privatization of state assets, anti-corruption measures, the bailout of PT Bank Century in 2008, decentralization and provincial autonomy and the American-led military campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq.

In June 2001, demonstrations and strikes affected at least 19 cities after the Government mandated a 30.0% increase in fuel prices. Similar demonstrations occurred in January 2003, when the Government again tried to increase fuel prices, as well as electricity rates and telephone charges. In both instances, the Government was forced to drop or substantially reduce the proposed increases. In March 2005, the Government implemented an approximately 29.0% increase in fuel prices. In October 2005, the Government terminated fuel subsidies on premium and regular gasoline and decreased fuel subsidies on diesel, which resulted in increases in fuel prices. In response, several non-violent mass protests were organized in opposition to the increases in domestic fuel prices, and political tensions have resulted from the Government’s decision. In May 2008, the Government further decreased fuel subsidies to the public, which led to public demonstrations. Although these demonstrations were generally peaceful, some turned violent. We cannot assure you that this situation will not lead to further political and social instability.

Regional political instability and clashes between religious and ethnic groups remain problematic. Separatist movements and clashes between religious and ethnic groups have resulted in social and civil unrest in parts of Indonesia. In the provinces of Aceh and Papua (formerly Irian Jaya), there have been clashes between supporters of those separatist movements and the Indonesian military, although there has been little conflict in Aceh since a memorandum of understanding was signed in August 2005. In April 2006, hundreds of people were involved in a violent protest directed at Freeport’s gold mining operations in the province of Papua. In recent years, political instability in Maluku and Poso, a district in the province of Central Sulawesi, has intensified and clashes between religious groups in these regions have resulted in thousands of casualties and displaced persons in Central Kalimantan and Central Sulawesi over the past several years. In recent years, the Government has made limited progress in negotiations with these troubled regions, except in the Province of Aceh where peaceful local elections were recently held which resulted in former separatists winning the election and becoming the governors of the Province.

In 2004, Indonesians directly elected the President, Vice-President and representatives in the Indonesian parliament for the first time through proportional voting with an open list of candidates. At the lower governmental level, Indonesians have started directly electing their respective heads of local governments. In 2009, another set of elections were held in Indonesia to elect the President, Vice-President and representatives in the Parliament. Increased political activity can be expected in Indonesia. Although the 2004 and 2009 elections were conducted peacefully, political campaigns in Indonesia may bring a degree of political and social uncertainty to Indonesia.

Political and related social developments in Indonesia have been unpredictable in the past, and we cannot assure you that social and civil disturbances will not occur in the future and on a wider scale, or that any such disturbances will not, directly or indirectly, have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Indonesia is located in an earthquake zone and is subject to significant geological risks which could lead to social unrest and economic loss

Many parts of Indonesia are vulnerable to natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, volcanic eruptions as well as droughts, power outages or other events beyond our control. In recent years, several natural disasters have occurred in Indonesia (in addition to the Asian tsunami in 2004), including an explosive eruption of Mount Merapi and Mount Bromo, a tsunami in Mentawai in West Sumatera, both in 2010, a tsunami in Pangandaran in West Java in 2006, an earthquake in Jogyakarta in Central Java in 2006, a hot mud eruption and subsequent flooding in East Java in 2006 and separate earthquakes in Papua, West Java, Sulawesi and Sumatra in 2009. Indonesia also experienced significant flooding in Jakarta in February 2007 and in Solo in Central Java in January 2008. In March 2009, torrential rain caused a dam to burst outside Jakarta, flooding homes in a densely

Table of Contents

populated neighborhood, resulting in the death of approximately 100 people. The flood submerged hundreds of homes and resulted in a number of people being reported missing. Recently, in October 2010, at least 145 people died in a flash flood in Wasior district, West Papua. Also in October 2010, an earthquake off the coast of Western Sumatra released a tsunami on the Mentawai Islands in which more than 500 people died. From October 24, 2010 to November 5, 2010, Mount Merapi, a volcano in Southern Java near Yogyakarta, erupted a number of times and is believed to have killed more than 380 people.

As a result of these natural disasters, the Government has had to spend significant amounts on emergency aid and resettlement efforts. Most of these costs have been underwritten by foreign governments and international aid agencies. We cannot assure you that such aid will continue to be forthcoming, or that it will be delivered to recipients on a timely basis. If the Government is unable to timely deliver foreign aid to affected communities, political and social unrest could result. Additionally, recovery and relief efforts are likely to continue to impose a strain on the Government’s finances, and may affect its ability to meet its obligations on its sovereign debt. Any such failure on the part of the Government, or declaration by it of a moratorium on its sovereign debt, could trigger an event of default under numerous private-sector borrowings including those of our Company, thereby materially and adversely affecting our business.

We cannot assure you that our insurance coverage will be sufficient to protect us from potential losses resulting from such natural disasters and other events beyond our control. In addition, we cannot assure you that the premium payable for these insurance policies upon renewal will not increase substantially, which may materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. We also cannot assure you that future geological or meteorological occurrences will not have more of an impact on the Indonesian economy. A significant earthquake, other geological disturbance or weather-related natural disaster in any of Indonesia’s more populated cities and financial centers could severely disrupt the Indonesian economy and undermine investor confidence, thereby materially and adversely affecting our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Terrorist activities in Indonesia could destabilize the country, thereby adversely affecting our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects

Several bombing incidents have taken place in Indonesia, most significantly in October 2002 in Bali, a region of Indonesia previously considered safe from the unrest affecting other parts of the country. Other bombing incidents, although on a lesser scale, have also been committed in Indonesia on a number of occasions over the past few years, including at shopping centers and places of worship. In April 2003, a bomb exploded outside the main United Nations building in Jakarta and in front of the domestic terminal at Soekarno Hatta International Airport. In August 2003, a bomb exploded at the JW Marriott Hotel in Jakarta, and in September 2004, a bomb exploded in front of the Australian embassy in Jakarta. In May 2005, bomb blasts in Central Sulawesi killed at least 21 people and injured at least 60 people. In October 2005, bomb blasts in Bali killed at least 23 people and injured at least 101 others. Indonesian, Australian and U.S. government officials have indicated that these bombings may be linked to an international terrorist organization. Demonstrations have taken place in Indonesia in response to plans for and subsequent to U.S., British and Australian military action in Iraq. In January 2007, sectarian terrorists conducted bombings in Poso. In July 2009, bomb blasts in the JW Marriott and Ritz Carlton hotels in Jakarta killed six people and injured at least 50 people. Further terrorist acts may occur in the future and may be directed at foreigners in Indonesia. Violent acts arising from, and leading to, instability and unrest could destabilize Indonesia and the Government and have had, and may continue to have, a material adverse effect on investment and confidence in, and the performance of, the Indonesian economy, and may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Our operations may be adversely affected by an outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (“SARS”), avian influenza, Influenza A (H1N1) virus or other epidemics

In 2003, certain countries in Asia including, Indonesia, the China, Vietnam, Thailand and Cambodia, experienced an outbreak of SARS, a highly contagious form of atypical pneumonia, which seriously interrupted the economic activities in, and the demand for goods plummeted in, the affected regions.

Table of Contents

During the last four years, large parts of Asia experienced unprecedented outbreaks of avian influenza. As of June 2, 2009, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) had confirmed a total of 262 fatalities in a total number of 433 cases reported to the WHO, which only reports laboratory confirmed cases of avian influenza. Of these, the Indonesian Ministry of Health reported to the WHO 115 fatalities in a total number of 141 cases of avian influenza in Indonesia. In addition, the WHO announced in June 2006 that human-to-human transmission of avian influenza had been confirmed in Sumatra, Indonesia. According to the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization, avian influenza virus is entrenched in 31 of Indonesia’s 33 provinces and efforts to contain avian influenza are failing in Indonesia, increasing the possibility that the virus may mutate into a deadlier form. No fully effective avian influenza vaccines have been developed and an effective vaccine may not be discovered in time to protect against a potential avian influenza pandemic.

In April 2009, there was an outbreak of the Influenza A (H1N1) virus, which originated in Mexico but has since spread globally, including confirmed reports in Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore and elsewhere in Asia. The Influenza A (H1N1) virus is believed to be highly contagious and may not be easily contained.

An outbreak of SARS, avian influenza, Influenza A (H1N1) virus or a similar epidemic, or the measures taken by the governments of affected countries, including Indonesia, against such an outbreak, could severely disrupt the Indonesian and other economies and undermine investor confidence, thereby materially and adversely affecting our financial condition or results of operations.

Labor activism and unrest may adversely affect our business

The liberalization of regulations permitting the formation of labor unions, combined with weak economic conditions, has resulted, and will likely continue to result, in labor unrest and activism in Indonesia. In 2000, the Government issued a labor regulation allowing employees to form unions without employer intervention. In March 2003, the Government enacted a manpower law, Law No. 13/2003 (the “Labor Law”), which, among other things, increased the amount of required severance, service and compensation payments to terminated employees, and required employers with 50 or more employees to establish bipartite forums with the participation of employers and employees. To negotiate a collective labor agreement with such a company, a labor union’s membership must consist of more than 50.0% of the company’s employees. In response to a challenge to its validity, the Indonesian Constitutional Court declared the Labor Law to be mostly valid, except for certain provisions. The Government proposed to amend the Labor Law in a manner which, in the view of labor activists, would result in reduced pension benefits, the increased use of outsourced employees and prohibitions on unions to conduct strikes. The proposal has been suspended and the new Government regulation addressing lay-offs of workers has not yet become effective. Labor unrest and activism could disrupt our operations and could adversely affect the financial condition of Indonesian companies in general and the value of the Indonesian rupiah relative to other currencies, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Depreciation in the value of the Indonesian rupiah may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects

One of the most important immediate causes of the economic crisis which began in Indonesia in mid-1997 was the depreciation and volatility of the value of the Indonesian rupiah, as measured against other currencies, such as the U.S. dollar. Although the Indonesian rupiah has appreciated considerably from its low point of approximately Rp17,000 per U.S. dollar in 1998, it may experience volatility again in the future. During the period between January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2010, the Indonesian rupiah/U.S. dollar exchange rate ranged from a low of Rp12,400 per U.S. dollar to a high of Rp8,888 per U.S. dollar. As a result, we recorded a loss on foreign exchange-net of Rp885.7 billion in 2008, a gain of Rp1,656.4 billion in 2009 and a gain of Rp492.4 in 2010. We cannot assure you that further depreciation of the Indonesian rupiah against other currencies, including the U.S. dollar, will not occur. To the extent the Indonesian rupiah depreciates further from the exchange rates at December 31, 2010, our obligations under our accounts payable, procurements payable and

 

14


Table of Contents

our foreign currency-denominated loans payable and bonds payable would increase in Indonesian rupiah terms. Such depreciation of the Indonesia rupiah would result in additional losses on foreign exchange translation and significantly impact our other income and net income.

In addition, while the Indonesian rupiah has generally been freely convertible and transferable (except that Indonesian banks may not transfer Indonesian rupiah to persons outside of Indonesia who lack a bona fide trade or investment purpose), from time to time, Bank Indonesia has intervened in the currency exchange markets in furtherance of its policies, either by selling Indonesian rupiah or by using its foreign currency reserves to purchase Indonesian rupiah. We cannot assure you that the current floating exchange rate policy of Bank Indonesia will not be modified or that the Government will take additional action to stabilize, maintain or increase the value of the Indonesian rupiah, or that any of these actions, if taken, will be successful. Modification of the current floating exchange rate policy could result in significantly higher domestic interest rates, liquidity shortages, capital or exchange controls or the withholding of additional financial assistance by multinational lenders. This could result in a reduction of economic activity, an economic recession, loan defaults or declining usage of our subscribers, and as a result, we may also face difficulties in funding our capital expenditures and in implementing our business strategy. Any of the foregoing consequences could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Downgrades of credit ratings of the Government or Indonesian companies could adversely affect our business

Beginning in 1997, certain recognized statistical rating organizations, including Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s, and Fitch, downgraded Indonesia’s sovereign rating and the credit ratings of various credit instruments of the Government and a large number of Indonesian banks and other companies. As of April 20, 2011, Indonesia’s sovereign foreign currency long-term debt is rated Ba1 by Moody’s, BB by Standard & Poor’s and BBB- by Fitch. These ratings reflect an assessment of the Government’s overall financial capacity to pay its obligations and its ability or willingness to meet its financial commitments as they become due.

We cannot assure you that Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s, Fitch or any other statistical rating organization will not downgrade the credit ratings of Indonesia or Indonesian companies, including us. Any such downgrade could have an adverse impact on liquidity in the Indonesian financial markets, the ability of the Government and Indonesian companies, including us, to raise additional financing and the interest rates and other commercial terms at which such additional financing is available. Interest rates on our floating rate Indonesian rupiah-denominated debt would also likely increase. Such events could have material adverse effects on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

We are subject to corporate disclosure and reporting requirements that differ from those in other countries

As we are a public company listed in the Indonesia Stock Exchange and New York Stock Exchange, we are subject to corporate governance and reporting requirements in Indonesia and the United States that differ, in significant respects, from those applicable to companies in certain other countries. The amount of information made publicly available by issuers in Indonesia may be less than that made publicly available by comparable companies in certain more developed countries, and certain statistical and financial information of a type typically published by companies in certain more developed countries may not be available. As a result, investors may not have access to the same level and type of disclosure as that available in other countries, and comparisons with other companies in other countries may not be possible in all respects.

We are incorporated in Indonesia, and it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process, or enforce judgments, on us within the United States, or to enforce judgments of a foreign court against us in Indonesia

We are a limited liability company incorporated in Indonesia, operating within the framework of Indonesian laws relating to foreign capital invested companies, and all of our significant assets are located in Indonesia. In addition, several of our Commissioners and substantially all of our Directors reside in Indonesia and a substantial

 

15


Table of Contents

portion of the assets of such persons is located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process, or enforce judgments, on us or such persons within the United States, or to enforce against us or such persons in the United States, judgments obtained in U.S. courts.

We have been advised by our Indonesian legal advisor that judgments of U.S. courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws or the securities laws of any state within the United States, are not enforceable in Indonesian courts, although such judgments could be admissible as non-conclusive evidence in a proceeding on the underlying claim in an Indonesian court. There is doubt as to whether Indonesian courts will enter judgments in original actions brought in Indonesian courts predicated solely upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws or the securities laws of any state within the United States. As a result, the claimant would be required to pursue claims against us or such persons in Indonesian courts.

Risks Relating to Our Business

We operate in a legal and regulatory environment that is undergoing significant reforms. These reforms may result in increased competition, which may result in reduced margins and operating revenues, among other things, all of which may have a material adverse effect on us

The regulatory reform of the Indonesian telecommunications sector, which was initiated by the Government in 1999, has to a certain extent resulted in the liberalization of the telecommunications industry, including facilitation of new market entrants and changes to the competitive structure of the telecommunications industry. However, in recent years, the volume and complexity of regulatory changes has created an environment of considerable regulatory uncertainty. In addition, as the reform of the Indonesian telecommunications sector continues, competitors, potentially with greater resources than us, may enter the Indonesian telecommunications sector and compete with us in providing telecommunications services.

For example, since January 2007, the Government, through the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology (“MOCIT”), has been responsible for setting tariffs for interconnection services. See “Item 3: Key Information—Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Business—We depend on interconnection agreements relating to the use of our competitors’ cellular and fixed-line telephone networks.” The MOCIT sets interconnection tariffs for dominant service providers on a “cost” basis, based on RIOs submitted by the dominant service providers, which include us. In contrast, telecommunications operators which are not designated as dominant operators may simply notify the MOCIT regarding their tariffs and may implement such tariffs for its customers without MOCIT approval. The disparity in the treatment of dominant and non-dominant telecommunications operators may create opportunities for new entrants in the telecommunications industry, providing them with increased flexibility to establish lower tariffs and offer lower pricing terms to their customers. In addition, the tariffs in our RIOs have been decreasing in the past few years, and we expect this downward trend to continue. Any decrease in the amount of interconnection costs might reduce our revenue and also our costs for inter-operator traffic.

On January 25, 2010, the MOCIT passed a new regulation pursuant to which an existing telecommunications network operator that already has an allocated frequency and access code for the provision of a certain network is exempted from following the selection process when seeking to obtain a new network license with another access code. This is expected to allow certain telecommunications network operators to expand their businesses more easily.

On December 13, 2010, the Government issued Government Regulation No. 76/2010 on the Amendment of PP No.7/2009 on the types and tariffs of non-tax state income applicable to MOCIT. This regulation affects the calculation method and payment of the spectrum fee due on the spectrum allocated to the Company (800 Mhz, 900 Mhz and 1,800 MHz frequency bands).

Table of Contents

On December 31, 2010, Badan Regulasi Telekomunikasi Indonesia (BRTI or Indonesian Telecommunications Regulatory Bureau) issued letter No.227/BRTI/XII/2010 regarding the implementation of new interconnection tariffs which will take into effect on January 1, 2011 and will be used by all telecommunications operators.

In the future, the Government may announce or implement other regulatory changes, such as changes in interconnection or tariff policies, which may adversely affect our business or our existing licenses. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully with other domestic and foreign telecommunications operators or that regulatory changes, amendments or interpretations of current or future laws and regulations promulgated by the Government will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

We may be unable to fund the capital expenditures needed for us to remain competitive in the telecommunications industry in Indonesia

The delivery of telecommunications services is capital intensive. In order to be competitive, we must continually expand, modernize and update our telecommunications infrastructure technology, which involves substantial capital investment. For the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, our actual consolidated capital expenditures totaled Rp12,341.9 billion, Rp11,584.5 billion, and Rp5,515.0 billion (US$613.4 million), respectively. During 2011, we intend to allocate US$794.5 million for new capital expenditures, which, taken together with estimated actual capital expenditures expended for 2011 for capital expenditure commitments in prior periods, will result in approximately US$1,053.8 million total actual capital expenditures for 2011. Our ability to fund capital expenditures in the future will depend on our future operating performance, which is subject to prevailing economic conditions, levels of interest rates and financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, and upon our ability to obtain additional external financing. We cannot assure you that additional financing will be available to us on commercially acceptable terms, or at all. In addition, we can only incur additional financing in compliance with the terms of our debt agreements. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will have sufficient capital resources to improve or expand our telecommunications infrastructure technology or update our other technology to the extent necessary to remain competitive in the Indonesian telecommunications market. Our failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

We depend on interconnection agreements relating to the use of our competitors’ cellular and fixed-line telephone networks

We are dependent on interconnection agreements relating to the use of our competitors’ cellular and fixed-line telephone networks and associated infrastructure for the successful operation of our business. If any disputes involving such interconnection arrangements arise, whether due to a failure by a counterparty to perform its contractual obligations or for any other reason, the delivery of one or more of our services may be delayed, interrupted or stopped, the quality of our services may be lowered, our subscriber churn rates may increase or our interconnection rates may increase. Any disputes involving our current interconnection agreements, as well as our failure to enter into or renew interconnection agreements, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

We may become subject to limitations on foreign ownership in the telecommunication services business

Presidential Regulation No. 36 of 2010 (the “Presidential Regulation”) sets out the industries and business fields in which foreign investment is prohibited, restricted or subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions as stipulated by the applicable Governmental authorities (the “Negative List”). The telecommunication industry is one of the industries set out in the Negative List, and foreign investment in the Indonesian telecommunication industry is accordingly subject to applicable restrictions and conditions. The Negative List is implemented by the Capital Investment Coordinating Board (“BKPM”). Restrictions applicable to the telecommunication industry are

 

17


Table of Contents

dependent upon the type of telecommunication business undertaken. Different limitation thresholds are applicable depending upon whether the business pertains to telecommunication networks or services. The limitation on foreign holdings in companies engaging in the telecommunication network business ranges from 49.0%—65.0%, and the limitation on foreign shareholdings in Indonesian companies engaged in the provision of multimedia services (including data communication such as broadband wireless services), from 49.0%—95.0%. Pursuant to Article 8 of the Presidential Regulation, the restrictions set forth therein shall not apply to investments that have been approved prior to the effectiveness of the Presidential Regulation pursuant to investment approval issued by BKPM unless such restrictions are more favorable to the investments. The Presidential Regulation does not change the limitation of foreign shareholding in our business.

On June 22, 2008, Qatar Telecom (Qtel) Q.S.C. (“Qtel”), through its subsidiary, Qatar South East Asia Holding S.P.C. purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of each of Indonesia Communications Limited (“ICLM”), and Indonesia Communications Pte. Ltd. (“ICLS”) from Asia Mobile Holdings Pte. Ltd. (“AMH”), a company incorporated in Singapore. Following this acquisition, a change of control occurred in the Company, requiring Qtel to conduct a mandatory tender offer. In connection with the tender offer, on December 23, 2008, the Capital Market and Financial Institution Supervisory Agency of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Indonesia (“Bapepam-LK”) issued a letter (i) noting that it had received a letter from BKPM dated December 19, 2008, pursuant to which BKPM confirmed that the maximum amount of foreign capital ownership in the Company shall be 65.0%, and that the Company may still conduct its cellular network operation and local fixed network business and (ii) permitting Qtel to conduct the tender offer. Following the issuance of such letter, Qtel conducted a mandatory tender offer to acquire up to 1,314,466,775 Series B Shares, representing approximately 24.19% of our total issued and outstanding Series B Shares (including Series B Shares represented by ADSs).

As we are a publicly listed company, we believe that the Negative List restrictions do not apply to us. If the relevant regulatory authorities were to apply the Negative List to us, notwithstanding our status as a publicly listed company, our controlling and/or other foreign shareholders may be required to reduce their shareholding in us, which could create downward pressure on the trading price for our shares. This could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. We may also be required to separate our business entity into two sectors, mobile or cellular network and fixed network, in order to comply with the relevant regulation. Separating our business into two sectors may involve divesting either our fixed network or mobile or cellular network operation businesses to a subsidiary or a third party, which could materially alter our operations and result in a reduction of our total operating revenue. In addition, if the relevant regulatory authorities determine that our foreign ownership still exceeds the Negative List restriction, the regulatory authorities may prohibit us from participating in bidding for or obtaining further licenses or additional spectrum. If this occurs, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected.

A failure in the continuing operations of our network, certain key systems, gateways to our network or the networks of other network operators could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects

We depend to a significant degree on the uninterrupted operation of our network to provide our services. For example, we depend on access to the PSTN for termination and origination of cellular telephone calls to and from fixed-line telephones, and a significant portion of our cellular and international long-distance call traffic is routed through the PSTN. The limited interconnection facilities of the PSTN available to us have adversely affected our business in the past and may adversely affect our business in the future.

Because of interconnection capacity constraints, our cellular subscribers have at times experienced blocked calls. We cannot assure you that these interconnection facilities can be increased or maintained at current levels.

We also depend on certain technologically sophisticated management information systems and other systems, such as our customer billing system, to enable us to conduct our operations. In addition, we rely to a

 

18

certain extent on interconnection to the networks of other telecommunications operators to carry calls from our subscribers to the subscribers of fixed-line operators and other cellular operators, both within Indonesia and overseas. Our network, including our information systems, information technology and infrastructure and the networks of other operators with whom our subscribers interconnect, are vulnerable to damage or interruptions in operation from a variety of sources including earthquake, fire, flood, power loss, equipment failure, network software flaws, transmission cable disruption or similar events. For example, our telecommunications control and information technology back-up facilities are highly concentrated within our headquarters and our principal operating and tape back-up storage facilities are located at two sites in Jakarta. Any failure that results in an interruption of our operations or of the provision of any service, whether from operational disruption, natural disaster or otherwise, could damage our ability to attract and retain subscribers, cause significant subscriber dissatisfaction and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Our failure to react to rapid technological changes could adversely affect our business

The telecommunications industry is characterized by rapid and significant changes in technology. We may face increasing competition due to technologies currently under development or which may be developed in the future. Future development or application of new or alternative technologies, services or standards could require significant changes to our business model, the development of new products, the provision of additional services and substantial new investments by us. For example, the development of fixed-mobile convergence technology, which allows a call that originates on a cellular handset to bypass a cellular network and instead be carried over a fixed-line telephone network, could adversely affect our business. New products and services may be expensive to develop and may result in the introduction of additional competitors into the marketplace. We cannot accurately predict how emerging and future technological changes will affect our operations or the competitiveness of our services. We cannot assure you that our technologies will not become obsolete, or be subjected to competition from new technologies in the future, or that we will be able to acquire new technologies necessary to compete in changed circumstances on commercially acceptable terms. Our failure to react to rapid technological changes could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

The Government is the majority shareholder of our major competitors, Telkom and Telkomsel. The Government may give priority to Telkom’s or Telkomsel’s businesses over ours

As of December 31, 2010, the Government had a 14.29% equity stake in us, including the Series A share, which has special voting rights and veto rights over certain strategic matters under our Articles of Association, including decisions on dissolution, liquidation and bankruptcy, and also permits the Government to nominate one Director to our Board of Directors and one Commissioner to our Board of Commissioners.

As of December 31, 2010, the Government also had a 52.47% equity stake in Telkom, which is our foremost competitor in fixed IDD telecommunications services. As of the same date, Telkom owns a 65.0% interest in Telkomsel, one of our two main competitors in the provision of cellular services. The percentage of the Government’s ownership interest in Telkom is significantly greater than its ownership interest in us. We cannot assure you that significant Government policies and plans will support our business or that the Government will treat us equally with Telkom and Telkomsel when implementing future decisions, or when exercising regulatory power over the Indonesian telecommunications industry. If the Government were to give priority to Telkom’s or Telkomsel’s business over ours, our business, financial condition, and results of operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected.

Our controlling shareholders’ interests may differ from those of our other shareholders

As of December 31, 2010, Qatar Telecom (Qtel Asia) Pte. Ltd. (“Qtel Asia”), owned approximately 65.0% of our issued and outstanding share capital. Qtel Asia is currently wholly owned and controlled by Qtel, which is majority-owned by the State of Qatar and its affiliated entities. Qtel Asia and its controlling shareholder have the

ability to exercise a controlling influence over our business and may cause us to take actions that are not in, or may conflict with, our or our other shareholders’ best interests, including matters relating to our management and policies. Although nominees of Qtel Asia hold positions on our Board of Commissioners and Board of Directors, we cannot assure you that our controlling shareholder will elect directors and commissioners or be able to influence our business in a way that benefits our other shareholders.

We rely on key management personnel, and our business may be adversely affected by any inability to recruit, train, retain and motivate our key employees

We believe that our current management team contributes significant experience and expertise to the management of our business. The continued success of our business and our ability to execute our business strategies in the future will depend in large part on the efforts of our key personnel. There is a shortage of skilled personnel in the telecommunications industry in Indonesia and this shortage is likely to continue. As a result, competition for certain specialist personnel is intense. In addition, as new market entrants begin or expand operations in Indonesia, certain of our key employees may leave their current positions. Our inability to recruit, train, retain and motivate key employees could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

The implementation of our organizational restructuring may disrupt our business and may not successfully achieve improved longer-term operating results

In January 2011, the Company introduced an organizational restructuring which forms part of our transformation program that began in 2009 to increase the Company’s productivity and improve our longer-term operating results. The Company is offering special compensation packages to employees who meet certain criteria as determined by the Company and who opt to end their employment relationship with the Company as part of such organizational restructuring under the Voluntary Separation Scheme (VSS) Program.

We anticipate having significant workforce reduction that may result in the Company incurring certain costs, which may include the costs in connection with the aforementioned special compensation packages. We cannot assure you that the consequences of the organizational restructuring program may not harm our business and our future results of operations.

If we are found liable for price fixing by the Indonesian Anti-Monopoly Committee and for class action allegations, we may be subject to substantial liability which could lead to a decrease in our revenue and affect our business, reputation and profitability

On November 1, 2007, the Indonesian Supervising Committee for Business Competition (the “KPPU”) issued a decision regarding a preliminary investigation involving us and eight other telecommunication companies based on allegations of price-fixing for SMS services and breach of Article 5 of the Anti-monopoly Law (“Law No. 5 / 1999”). On June 18, 2008, the KPPU determined that Telkom, Telkomsel, XL Axiata Tbk. (“XL”), PT Bakrie Telecom Tbk (“Bakrie Telecom”), PT Mobile-8 Telecom Tbk (“Mobile-8”) which we understand has changed it’s Company name to PT Smartfren Telecom Tbk, effective March, 2011 and PT Smart Telecom (“Smart Telecom”) had jointly breached Article 5 of Law No. 5 / 1999. Mobile-8 appealed this ruling to the Central Jakarta District Court, where Telkomsel, XL, Telkom, Indosat, PT Hutchison CP Telecommunication (“Hutchison”), Bakrie Telecom, Smart Telecom, PT Natrindo Telepon Selular (“Natrindo”) were summoned to appear as co-defendants in the hearing, while Telkomsel appealed this ruling to the South Jakarta District Court. Although the KPPU decided in our favor with respect to the allegations of price-fixing of SMS, we cannot assure you that the District Court will affirm the KPPU decision. The District Court will consider objections against the KPPU decision based on a re-examination of the KPPU decision and case files submitted by KPPU. If the District Court issues a verdict against us, we could be subjected to the payment of a fine, the amount of which will be subject to the discretion of the District Court, which could have an adverse effect on our business, reputation and profitability.

Table of Contents

In addition, a series of class action lawsuits were filed against us and Telkomsel during 2007 and 2008 in the District Court of Bekasi, the Central Jakarta District Court and the Tangerang District Court, relating to Temasek Holding’s prior cross ownership of shares in us and Telkomsel, which is alleged to have caused price fixing of telecommunications services that harmed the public. The plaintiffs have since revoked the lawsuit filed with the District Court of Bekasi. On January 27, 2010, the judges ruled that the class action filed with the Central Jakarta District Court was unacceptable because the plaintiffs refused to prove their legal standing and two members of the plaintiff class did not qualify to stand as class representatives. Since the time limit to file an appeal lapse on March 18, 2010, the decision of the Central Jakarta District Court dated January 27, 2010 is final and binding. The Tangerang class action continued on May 3, 2010, whereby the defendants submitted a demurrer, and on May 24, 2010, the judges ruled that the class action filed with the Tangerang District Court was unacceptable because the plaintiffs were not serious in filing the lawsuit and the plaintiffs failed to prove legal standing as class representatives. Since the time limit to file an appeal lapsed on July 21, 2010, the decision of the Tangerang District Court dated May 24, 2010 is final and binding. See “Item 8: Financial Information—Legal Proceedings” Although the class action allegation was not accepted by neither the Central Jakarta District Court nor the Tangerang District Court and the lawsuit filed with the District Court of Bekasi was revoked, we cannot assure you that other subscribers will not file similar cases in the future. If any new class action suit or the District Court issues a verdict in favor of such plaintiffs, it could have an adverse effect on our business, reputation and profitability.

We are exposed to interest rate risk

Our debt includes bank borrowings to finance our operations. Where appropriate, we seek to minimize our interest rate risk exposure by entering into interest rate swap contracts to swap floating interest rates for fixed interest rates over the duration of certain of our borrowings. However, our hedging policy may not adequately cover our exposure to interest rate fluctuations and this may result in a large interest expense and an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are exposed to counter-party risk

We may enter into various transactions from time to time which will expose us to the credit of our counter-parties and their ability to satisfy the terms of contracts with us. For example, we may enter into swap arrangements, which expose us to the risk that counter-parties may default on their obligations to perform under the relevant contract. In the event a counter-party, including a financial institution, is declared bankrupt or becomes insolvent, this may result in delays in obtaining funds or us having to liquidate our position, potentially leading to losses.

We may not be able to successfully manage our foreign currency exchange risk

Changes in exchange rates have affected and may continue to affect our financial condition and results of operations. Most of our debt obligations are denominated in Indonesian rupiah and a majority of our capital expenditures are denominated in U.S. dollars. A substantial portion of our revenues are denominated in Indonesian rupiah, but a portion of our operating revenues are U.S. dollar-denominated or U.S. dollar-linked. We may also incur additional long-term indebtedness in currencies other than the Indonesian rupiah, including the U.S. dollar, to finance further capital expenditures.

We currently hedge a portion of our foreign currency exposure principally because our annual U.S. dollar-denominated operating revenues are less than the sum of our U.S. dollar-denominated operating obligations, such as our U.S. dollar-denominated expenses and our U.S. dollar-denominated principal and interest payments. In 2005, in an effort to manage our foreign currency exposure and lower our overall funding costs, we entered into several foreign currency swap contracts with three separate international financial institutions. From 2006 to 2009, we also entered into several foreign currency swap contracts with seven international financial institutions in an effort to reduce our foreign currency risk exposure. For these contracts, we pay either an upfront or fixed rate premium. We cannot assure you that we will be able to manage our exchange rate risk successfully in the

future or that our business, financial condition or results of operations will not be adversely affected by our exposure to exchange rate risk. See “Item 11: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.”

Risks Relating to our Cellular Services Business

Competition from industry incumbents and new market entrants may adversely affect our cellular services business

The Indonesian cellular services business is highly competitive. Competition among cellular service providers in Indonesia is based on various factors, including pricing, network quality and coverage, the range of services, features offered and customer service. Our cellular services business competes primarily against Telkomsel and XL. Several other smaller GSM and CDMA operators also provide cellular services in Indonesia, including Hutchison, Natrindo and Smart Telecom. In addition to current cellular service providers, the MOCIT may license additional cellular service providers in the future, and such new entrants may compete with us.

We expect competition in the cellular services business to further intensify. New and existing cellular service providers may offer more attractive product and service packages or new technologies or the convergence of various telecommunication services, resulting in higher churn rates, lower ARPU or a reduction of, or slower growth in, our cellular subscriber base. In 2010, the continuing competition from industry incumbents and new market entrants in the cellular services market led to aggressive pricing campaigns by cellular service providers. The decrease in prices for cellular usage also led to an increase in the number of subscribers and in network traffic, resulting in increased network congestion among operators, which has required us to incur additional capital expenditures to continue to expand our network. On the other hand, mobile penetration is quite high and we expect growth to be slower.

The competitive landscape in the cellular services business may also be affected by industry consolidation. In March 2010, Smart Telecom and Mobile-8 announced that they entered into a cooperation agreement to use the same logo and brand under the name “smartfren.”

Competition from providers of new technology, together with new entrants, incumbents, almost saturated market and consolidated providers could adversely affect our competitive position, cellular services business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Cellular network congestion and limited spectrum availability could limit our cellular subscriber growth and cause reductions in our cellular service quality

We expect to continue to offer promotional plans to attract subscribers and increase usage of our network by our cellular subscribers. We also expect to continue to promote our data services, including our BlackBerry™ and wireless broadband services. As a result, we may experience increased network congestion, which may affect our network performance and damage our reputation with our subscribers. In addition, higher cellular usage in dense urban areas may require us to use radio frequency engineering techniques, including a combination of macro, micro and indoor cellular designs, to maintain cellular network quality despite radio frequency interference and tighter radio frequency re-use patterns. However, if our cellular subscriber base or usage of our voice and data services should grow significantly in high-density areas, we cannot assure you that these efforts will be sufficient to maintain and improve service quality. To support such additional demands on our network, we may be required to make significant capital expenditures to improve our network coverage. Such additional capital expenditures, together with the possible degradation of our cellular services, could adversely affect our competitive position, business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Despite expending significant financial resources to increase our cellular subscriber base, the number of our cellular subscribers may increase without a corresponding increase in our operating revenues

We have expended significant financial resources to develop and expand our cellular network and add to our cellular subscriber base. However, the uncertain economic situation in Indonesia and increasing prices of primary

 

22


Table of Contents

goods may decrease our cellular subscribers’ purchasing power. Moreover, a continued decline in effective tariffs for voice usage resulting from “free-talk” campaigns and recent tariff discount promotions, increasing SMS usage, and greater cellular penetration in the lower-income segment of the market has led to a decrease in ARPU in 2010. Our number of cellular subscribers (including wireless broadband subscribers) increased from approximately 36.5 million as of December 31, 2008 to approximately 33.0 million as of December 31, 2009, to approximately 44.3 million as of December 31, 2010. For the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, our ARPU was Rp38,639, Rp37,664 and Rp34,712, respectively. While we intend to continue to expend significant financial resources to expand our cellular subscriber base and expand our cellular network to support the requirements of such an expanded cellular subscriber base, we cannot assure you that such expenditures will be accompanied by a corresponding increase in our ARPU or operating revenues. Accordingly, our subscriber acquisition costs and the capital expenditures required to expand our network capacity could increase without a corresponding increase in our revenue or profitability, which would materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

We experience a high churn rate

We experience a high churn rate, as is common for Indonesian telecommunication operators providing prepaid cellular services. We believe that our high churn rate is due to the fact that many of our prepaid subscribers own multiple SIM cards from various cellular providers, allowing them to choose the cheapest package available. We believe that our high churn rate was exacerbated by our efforts, during the first nine months of 2009, to clean up our subscriber base by discouraging “calling card” behavior and focusing instead on subscriber loyalty. We believe that such subscribers were short-term subscribers and were not likely to recharge their SIM cards. Our high churn rates may result in loss of revenue, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. At the end of the third quarter of 2010, we launched a retention and loyalty program called “Senyum Setia Indosat” which gives benefits to our customers who extend their subscription. We believe that this program contributed to the decrease of our churn rate to 13.3% in 2010, compared to 15.1% in 2009.

We depend on the availability of telecommunications towers

We are highly dependent on our and others’ telecommunications tower infrastructure to provide GSM, FWA and 3G network and mobile cellular telecommunications services, as we typically install transmitter and transceiver antennas and other BTS supporting facilities on such towers. The availability and installation of such telecommunication towers require licenses from the relevant central and regional authorities. Recently, a number of regional authorities have implemented regulations which limit the number and location of telecommunication towers and established requirements for operators to share in the utilization of telecommunications towers. In addition, on March 17, 2008, the MOCIT issued a regulation on the sharing of telecommunications towers. See “Item 4: Information on the Company—Regulation of the Indonesian Telecommunications Industry—Tower Sharing Obligation.” Under the regulation, the construction of telecommunications towers requires permits from the relevant governmental institution, while the local government determines the placement and location at which telecommunications towers can be constructed. Moreover, a joint regulation promulgated on March 30, 2009 by the Minister of Home Affairs, the Minister of Public Works, the MOCIT and the Head of the Indonesia Investment Coordinating Board requires a tower construction permit for every tower built and used for telecommunications services, which would demonstrate compliance with certain technical specifications. If a tower owner fails to obtain such a permit, the appropriate regional authorities will be entitled to impose penalties on the tower owner. Moreover, a telecommunications provider which owns telecommunication towers or tower owner is obligated to allow other telecommunication operators to utilize its telecommunication towers (other than the towers used for its main network), without any discrimination.

Such regulatory requirements may require us to adjust our telecommunications tower construction and leasing plans, relocate our existing telecommunications towers, allow other operators access to our telecommunications towers and perform other measures which may result in the increase of telecommunications

Table of Contents

tower construction costs, delays in the construction process and potential service disruption for our subscribers. If we cannot fulfill the regulatory requirements for telecommunications towers or meet our own network capacity needs for telecommunications towers, we may face difficulties in developing and providing cellular GSM, FWA and 3G telecommunications services. Our dependency on our own or others’ telecommunications tower infrastructure, combined with the burden of sharing our telecommunications towers in certain instances, may also adversely affect our competitive advantage relative to other operators. Any of these events could result in a material adverse effect on our network capacity, the performance and quality of our networks and services, our reputation, business, results of operations and prospects.

Our ability to maintain and expand our cellular network or conduct our business may be affected by disruptions of supplies and services from our principal suppliers

We rely upon a few principal vendors to supply a substantial portion of the equipment we require to maintain and expand our cellular network, including our microwave backbone, and upon other vendors in relation to other supplies necessary to conduct our business. We depend on equipment and other supplies and services from such vendors to maintain and replace key components of our cellular network and to operate our business. If we are unable to obtain adequate supplies or services in a timely manner or on commercially acceptable terms, or if there are significant increases in the cost of such supplies or services, our ability to maintain and to expand our cellular network and our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely affected.

We depend on our licenses to provide cellular services, and our licenses could be cancelled if we fail to comply with their terms and conditions

We rely on licenses issued by the MOCIT for the provision of our cellular services as well as for the utilization of our allocated spectrum frequencies. The MOCIT, with due regard to prevailing laws and regulations, may amend the terms of our licenses at its discretion. Any breach of the terms and conditions of our licenses or failure to comply with applicable regulations could result in our licenses being cancelled. Any revocation or unfavorable amendment of the terms of our licenses, or any failure to renew them on comparable terms, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Our subscriber-related operating data may not be comparable between periods

We define an “active cellular subscriber” as a cellular subscriber who, in the case of a prepaid cellular subscriber, recharges their SIM card within a 33-day “grace period” immediately following the SIM card’s expiry date by adding a minimum amount to the SIM card.

We have from time to time decreased the grace period applicable to our calculation of prepaid cellular subscribers in order to more accurately reflect those subscribers whom were most likely to recharge their SIM cards. Increasing or decreasing the grace period affects the calculation of our number of subscribers, Minutes of Usage per subscriber and ARPU.

As a result of the foregoing, our number of subscribers, Minutes of Usage per subscriber and ARPU may not reflect the actual number of subscribers and are not comparable between periods. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on the accuracy of this data or comparison of this data from period to period.

A significant increase in frequency fees could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations

Previously, we were required to pay frequency fees for 800 MHz, 900 MHz and 1800 Mhz bands based on the number of radio stations. Starting on December 15, 2010, the government changed the basis of computing frequency fees to a new formula based on the width of allocated spectrum occupied by operators. As the largest holder of spectrum in Indonesia, Indosat is expected to pay a large amount of frequency fees going forward. The increase of the frequency fees will mainly be based on the consumer price index and the population of Indonesia.

Allegations of health risks from the electromagnetic fields generated by BTSs and cellular handsets, and the lawsuits and publicity relating to them, regardless of merit, could adversely affect our operations

There has been public speculation about possible health risks to individuals from exposure to electromagnetic fields from BTSs and from the use of cellular handsets. We cannot assure you that future studies of these health risks will not suggest a link between electromagnetic fields and adverse health effects which may subject us to legal action from individuals alleging personal injuries or otherwise adversely affect our business.

Risks Relating to Our Fixed Data (“MIDI”) Services Business

Our MIDI services are facing increasing competition, and we may experience declining margins from such services as such competition intensifies

Our MIDI services are facing increased competition from new and established operators, which may have wider customer bases and greater financial resources than us, such as Telkom, with its regional international reach and developed domestic infrastructure. In addition, operators such as XL, First Media and Icon+, some of which have alliances with foreign telecommunications operators, compete with us in this business segment. In 2009, our World Link leased line services faced increased competition following the launch of an international “Matrix” cable operated by PT NAP Info Lintas Nusa in August 2008.

Our satellite business also faces increasing competition as new and more powerful satellites are launched by our competitors and as companies acquire exclusive licenses to provide broadcast services in Indonesia. Our Palapa-C2 and Palapa-D satellite transponder capacity agreements generally involve terms of between two to five years, and we estimate the remaining useful life of such satellites to be approximately three and 9.7 years, respectively. As additional satellites become operational and our transponder leases expire or are terminated and price competition intensifies, our transponder lessees may utilize other satellites, thereby adversely affecting our operating margins and operating revenues from such services.

Our satellites have limited operational life and may be damaged or destroyed during in-orbit operation. The loss or reduced performance of our satellites, whether caused by equipment failure or its license being revoked, may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and ability to provide certain services

Our Palapa-C2 and Palapa-D satellites have a limited operational life, currently estimated to end in 2014 and 2020, respectively. A number of factors affect the operational lives of satellites, including the quality of their construction, the durability of their systems, subsystems and component parts, on-board fuel reserves, accuracy of their launch into orbit, exposure to micrometeorite storms, or other natural events in space, collision with orbital debris, or the manner in which the satellite is monitored and operated. We currently use satellite transponder capacity on our satellites in connection with many aspects of our business, including direct leasing of such capacity and routing for our international long-distance and cellular services. We note, that based on the factors identified above, our Palapa-C2 satellite could fail prior to 2014 and our Palapa-D satellite could fail prior to 2020, and in-orbit repairs would not be feasible with the exception of repairs that may be addressed through ground-based software or operational fixes. Moreover, International Telecommunication Union (“ITU”) regulations specify that a designated satellite slot has been allocated for Indonesia, and the Government has the right to determine which party is licensed to use such slot. While we currently hold a license to use the designated satellite slot, in the event our Palapa-D satellite experiences technical problems or failure, the Government may determine that we have failed to optimize the existing slot under our license, which may result in the Government withdrawing our license and granting it to one of our competitors. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain use of the designated satellite slot in a manner deemed satisfactory by the Government.

We maintain in-orbit insurance on our Palapa-C2 and Palapa-D satellites on terms and conditions consistent with industry practice. As of December 31, 2010, we had an insurance policy with a total coverage limit of US$153 million for total and partial loss of our Palapa-C2 and Palapa D satellites. If damage or failure renders our satellites unfit for use, we may elect to cease our satellite operations or lease transponder capacity from a

third-party provider rather than acquiring a new satellite. The termination of our satellite business could increase operating expenses associated with our provision of other telecommunications services and could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Relating to Our Fixed Telecommunications Services Business

The entry of additional Indonesian telecommunications operators as providers of international long-distance services could adversely affect our fixed telecommunications services operating margins, market share and results of operations

Telkom, a well-established Indonesian telecommunications incumbent with significant political and financial resources, obtained a license to provide international long-distance services and launched its commercial service in 2004. As a result of Telkom’s entry into the international long-distance market, we lost market share and experienced other adverse effects relating to our fixed telecommunications services business. By the end of 2006, Telkom had acquired significant market share for IDD services. In addition, in 2009, the Government issued Bakrie Telecom an international long-distance license in an effort to encourage greater competition in the international long-distance services market. The operations of incumbents and the entrance of new operators into the international long-distance market, including the VoIP services provided by such operators, continue to pose a significant competitive threat to us. We cannot assure you that such adverse effects will not continue or that such increased competition will not continue to erode our market share or adversely affect our fixed telecommunications services operating margins and results of operations.

We face risks related to the opening of new long distance access codes

In an attempt to liberalize DLD services, the Government has issued regulations requiring each provider of DLD services to implement a three-digit access code to be dialed by customers making DLD calls. In 2005, the MOCIT announced that three-digit access codes for DLD calls will be implemented gradually within five years and that it would assign us the “011” DLD access code for five major cities, including Jakarta, and allow us to progressively extend it to all other area codes within five years. Telkom was assigned “017” as its DLD access code. In December 2007, the Government issued new regulations opening DLD access codes in the first city in Balikpapan in April 2008. Following the implementation, Balikpapan residents will be able to choose from options “0”, “011” or “017” in connecting their long distance calls.

In April 2008, we and Telkom agreed to open DLD access from our respective subscribers in Balikpapan. Whether the opening of the DLD access code will be implemented in other cities will be based on a study by the Indonesian Telecommunication Regulatory Board. The implementation of any new DLD access codes can potentially increase competition by offering our subscribers more options for DLD services. In addition, the opening of new DLD access codes is expected to result in increased competition and less cooperation among industry incumbents, which may result in reduced margins and operating revenue, among other things, all of which may have a material adverse effect on us. We cannot assure you that our access codes will remain intact or be successful in increasing our revenues from DLD services.

Item 4: INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

History and Development of the Company

PT Indosat Tbk was established on November 10, 1967 as a foreign investment company to provide international telecommunications services in Indonesia and began commercial operations in September 1969 to build, transfer and operate an International Telecommunications Satellite Organization (“Intelsat”) earth station in Indonesia to access Intelsat’s Indian Ocean Region satellites for a period of 20 years. In 2001, as part of the Government’s initiative to restructure the telecommunications industry, we entered into an agreement with Telkom to eliminate our respective cross-shareholdings in several operating subsidiaries, including:

 

   

our acquisition of Telkom’s 22.5% ownership interest in Satelindo (at the time the second largest cellular operator in Indonesia);

 

26


Table of Contents
   

Telkom’s acquisition of our 35.0% ownership interest in Telkomsel; and

 

   

our acquisition of Telkom’s 37.2% ownership interest in Lintasarta and the purchase of Lintasarta’s convertible bonds held by Telkom.

Subsequent to the agreement with Telkom, we completed the acquisition of the remaining minority interests in Satelindo in June 2002. Since entering the Indonesian cellular market through our acquisition of Satelindo and establishment of IM3 and the subsequent integration of such companies in 2003, cellular services have become the largest contributor to our operating revenues.

In August 2002, we entered the domestic fixed line telecommunications sector by obtaining a license to provide local fixed network services in the Jakarta and Surabaya areas.

In 2002, the Government divested 517.5 million shares, representing approximately 50.0% of our outstanding Series B shares at the time, in two stages. In May 2002, the Government sold 8.1% of our outstanding shares through an accelerated global tender. In December 2002, the Government divested 41.9% of our outstanding Series B shares to a former subsidiary of STT Communications Ltd. (“STT”).

In June 2008, Qtel acquired STT’s interest in us, triggering a mandatory tender offer by Qtel to acquire up to 1,314,466,775 Series B Shares, representing approximately 24.19% of our total issued and outstanding Series B Shares, at a purchase price of the U.S. Dollar equivalent of Rp369,400 per ADS and Rp7,388 per Series B Share. Qtel is a publicly held corporation which is majority-owned by the State of Qatar and its affiliated entities. Qtel is organized under the laws of the State of Qatar with shares listed on the Doha Securities Market, as well as the Abu Dhabi Securities Market, and Global Depository Receipts traded on the London Stock Exchange.

As of December 31, 2010, the Government owned 14.29% of our outstanding shares, including 1 Series A share, Qtel Asia owned approximately 65.00% of our outstanding Series B shares and SKAGEN AS owned approximately 5.11% of our outstanding Series B shares. Qtel Asia is owned by Qtel. The remaining 15.59% of our outstanding Series B shares is owned by public shareholders as of December 31, 2010. See “Item 6: Directors, Senior Management and Employees—Share Ownership.”

Business Overview

We are a fully integrated Indonesian telecommunications network and service provider and we offer a full complement of national and international telecommunications services in Indonesia.

Prior to the first quarter of 2010, newly-built or newly-acquired base station sites, base station controllers or mobile switching centers which were not yet in operation were included in the number of base station sites, base station controllers or mobile switching centers reported by the Company (the “Prior Computation”). Beginning in the first quarter of 2010, as disclosed herein, the Company included newly-built or newly-acquired base station sites, base station controllers or mobile switching centers in its various reports only when such base station sites, base station controllers or mobile switching centers were actually put in operation. Under the Prior Computation, the Company would have reported that it owned 14,162, 16,804 and 18,704 base station sites, 279, 315 and 331 base station controllers and 73, 96 and 92 mobile switching centers for the year ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively.

As reported in our Form 6-K filed on July 22, 2010, we issued a restatement of our cellular subscriber base as at March 31, 2010 from 39.1 million to 37.7 million. This discrepancy arose during the compilation of data from multiple reporting systems. The same issue resulted in an over-reporting of subscribers in the second and third quarters of 2009. Accordingly, the total number of subscribers of 33.0 million and ARPU of Rp37,664 for 2009 reported above reflect the restated figures, compared with the total number of subsrcribers of 33.1 million and ARPU of Rp37,330 previously reported.

Cellular Services

Cellular services contributed revenues of Rp15,867.1 billion (US$1,764.8 million) for the year ended December 31, 2010, representing 80.8% of our total consolidated operating revenues in 2010. We are the second-largest cellular provider in Indonesia, as measured by the number of cellular subscribers, with 44.3 million subscribers (including wireless broadband subscribers) as of December 31, 2010. For 2010, we had an estimated subscriber market share of 24.8%, which figure is based on our estimates based on available market data. Our cellular network currently provides network coverage in all major cities and population centers across Indonesia. We provide our cellular services using GSM 900 and GSM 1800 technology and, for our 3G platform, IMT-2000 technology. We are also one of the leading providers of prepaid and postpaid wireless broadband services in Indonesia. As of December 31, 2010, we had approximately 536,675 prepaid and postpaid wireless broadband subscribers.

Services

Our principal cellular services are the provision of voice and data services, which we sell through postpaid and prepaid plans. Our prepaid and postpaid subscribers are able to make and receive “on-net” voice calls to and from other Indosat subscribers (including our Matrix, Mentari, and IM3 subscribers) on our telecommunication network, as well as “off-net” voice calls to and from subscribers of other telecommunication operators on their fixed and cellular telecommunication networks.

We offer prepaid plans under the brand names “Mentari” and “IM3.” Both products have a high degree of brand recognition, providing us with an advantage when attempting to attract and retain subscribers in a competitive market. We have differentiated our two prepaid brands based on market segments. Such differentiation allows us to target the usage and spending patterns of different consumer segments through our promotional plans. Our Mentari brand is marketed towards a more mature market, with voice services being promoted at competitive prices. Our IM3 brand is marketed toward the younger generation, with very attractive voice, SMS and data packages. We continue to develop the Mentari and IM3 brands, offer promotions and engage in advertising tailored for those specific market segments. Frontier Consulting Group and Marketing Magazine awarded us the “Top Brand Award” in 2008, 2009 and 2010 for both our Mentari and IM3 brands for outstanding achievement in building our brand awareness and market share.

We offer postpaid plans, designed for high-end professional and corporate users, under the brand name “Matrix.” Matrix is a basic service package with a postpaid payment plan that provides the ability to register with numerous other supplementary plans, value-added services and corporate-based services. We offer various “Matrix” packages with different features and benefits to suit the needs of our subscribers. Our Matrix brand received the “Top Brand Award” in 2010 from the Frontier Consulting Group and Marketing Magazine.

Prepaid and postpaid subscribers have access to local, DLD and international direct long-distance dialing. In addition, we offer a variety of value-added services, functions and features to our subscribers. Such services, functions and features, which, in certain cases, are free of charge, can be purchased individually, or bundled according to the package selected, include:

 

   

SMS: allows subscribers to send short text messages to other cellular users’ mobile phone display screens;

 

   

MMS: allows subscribers of GSM service to send pictures, text and sound/voice in a single packet message;

 

   

Voice SMS: allows subscribers to send audible messages;

 

   

Ring-back tone: allows subscribers to choose their favorite song as the ringtone that is heard by callers for incoming calls;

 

   

GPRS: provides mobile data communications with GSM-based technology, including mobile Internet, data transfer and push e-mail (BlackBerry™ services);

 

   

Mobile data and broadband services: allows subscribers to browse and download sports, news, horoscope, movies, music and finance content to their mobile handsets, connect to a computer as modem, send and receive using GPRS and 3G network for broadband quality;

 

   

Facsimile services: allows subscribers to send and receive faxes;

 

   

BlackBerry™ services: allows subscribers to register and use a full suite of BlackBerry™ services, including email, chat, browsing, GPS, and many other BlackBerry™ based applications;

 

   

Voicemail: enables callers to leave voice messages that can be retrieved by subscribers;

 

   

Caller identification: displays the incoming call number on a subscriber’s mobile phone display screen;

 

   

Call holding: allows subscribers to place an incoming or outgoing call on hold while making or receiving other calls;

 

   

Call waiting: signals subscribers that they have an incoming call while the line is engaged. Upon hearing such a signal, subscribers can answer the second call and place the original call on hold;

 

   

Call forwarding: enables subscribers to forward incoming calls to other cellular or fixed-line numbers;

 

   

Detailed billing: provides subscribers with detailed billing statements indicating the duration and cost of calls made to and from a particular mobile phone;

Direct debit payment: provides a payment option that automatically deducts billed amounts from the subscriber’s bank account or credit card;

 

   

Recharge via SMS and automated teller machines: enables subscribers to recharge their prepaid airtime plans via SMS and automated teller machines automatically deducting billed amounts from the subscriber’s bank account; and

 

   

International roaming: allows prepaid and postpaid subscribers to send/receive SMS, voice and data (GPRS/3G) services while roaming on foreign cellular networks.

Facsimile services, detailed billing and direct debit payments are only available to postpaid subscribers. Since 2009, postpaid subscribers have been able to request delivery of printed billing statements or billing statements by e-mail, which minimizes the number of unreceived bills. We offer certain services free of charge, including caller identification, call holding, call waiting and call forwarding, while others, such as SMS, mobile data, broadband, BlackBerry™, facsimile services and detailed billing, carry additional fees.

We provide our SMS service to prepaid and postpaid cellular subscribers. Usage levels have increased from an average of approximately 90.4 million text messages (excluding value-added service SMSs, such as SMSs related to promotions by content providers and advertisers) per day in December 2007 to a daily average of approximately 516.0 million text messages (excluding value-added service SMSs) in December 2010. In 2008, 2009 and 2010, SMS usage fees represented a substantial portion of our operating revenues from value-added cellular services and features. However, we have recently seen an increase in revenues from mobile data services. We expect SMS to continue to contribute a substantial portion of revenues from value-added cellular services and features, but anticipate a continuing increase in revenues from GPRS, BlackBerry™ and other mobile data services in the future.

We have entered into interconnection agreements with other Indonesian telecommunications operators to allow our cellular networks to interconnect with the PSTN operated by Telkom, our international gateways and the networks of each of the other Indonesian cellular and fixed wireless access operators, thereby allowing our cellular subscribers to communicate with customers of other telecommunications service providers.

We offer international roaming services to our cellular subscribers to enable them to make and receive calls and to send and receive SMS text messages and use Data connection (on GPRS or 3G) when outside Indonesia. We have entered into roaming agreements with operators of GSM cellular networks in Africa, Europe, North and South America and Asia. As of December 31, 2010, our postpaid cellular subscribers could roam internationally on 468 networks, owned by 336 operators in 153 countries, and our prepaid cellular subscribers could roam internationally on 20 networks, owned by 20 operators in 16 countries.

On December 12, 2006, we became a member of the largest international telecommunications operator alliance in Asia, CONEXUS, which was formed to increase each member’s competitive value in providing international telecommunication services in its respective country and across the Asia-Pacific region. To support current roaming services through GSM, GPRS and wideband code division multiple access (“W-CDMA”), the members of the alliance are cooperating to provide roaming with HSDPA technology. This alliance has expanded service coverage to more than 150 million customers in nine countries, including Indonesia. Within the CONEXUS and DIGI (Malaysia) networks, our postpaid subscribers can enjoy a special flat data/internet/BlackBerry™ usage rate of Rp 25,000 per day of unlimited data usage.

Mobile Data Services

We launched our portfolio of mobile data services in 2000. Mobile data services can be accessed through, among others, SMS, direct dial-up connection to a WAP server or wireless broadband, where subscribers can access a variety of information, including movie listings, stock quotes, exchange rates, sports and business news and astrological predictions, and recharge their prepaid SMS cards. In addition, subscribers can send and receive e-mail and conduct mobile banking services with several leading banks through their mobile handsets.

We provide GPRS service with EDGE technology in most large cities in Java, Bali, Sumatra, Kalimantan, Sulawesi and Papua. We were the first telecommunications provider to launch the BlackBerry service in Indonesia. In cooperation with Research-In-Motion (“RIM”), we introduced BlackBerry Enterprise Service to our Postpaid/Matrix corporate customers in December 2004 and BlackBerry services for personal Postpaid/Matrix users in March 2005. In June 2008, to differentiate ourselves from other BlackBerry™ service operators, we launched I-GPS and I-Stock applications which allow our BlackBerry customers to access a navigation system and real-time stock prices. In January 2009, we launched a BlackBerry service subscription via our prepaid brands, Mentari and IM3. In October 2010, we increased the link capacity to RIM to 500 Mbps dual link, providing our BlackBerry subscribers with faster access. This increase means that we have the largest link capacity to RIM in Indonesia. We have approximately 600,000 BlackBerry subscribers as of December 31, 2010. Indonesia is the second largest growth market in the world for BlackBerry devices.

On February 8, 2006, the Government conducted an open bidding process for 3G spectrum licenses and, following satisfactory completion of the bidding process, we were awarded one 3G spectrum license for 5 MHz of paired spectrum. In the same bidding, Telkomsel and XL were also awarded 3G spectrum licenses. In 2007, we began offering an enhanced 3G (“3.5G”) broadband service using HSDPA technology, a mobile wireless telecommunication service with enhanced 3G technology. In August 2009, we were granted additional spectrum under our existing license, which will allow us to double our network capacity to serve our broadband subscribers. In 2009, we started to deploy the new 3.5G network using HSPA+ technology, with downlink speeds of up to 42Mbps and uplink speeds up of to 5.6Mbps, and we began offering such services in 2010.

In 2007, we began offering 3.5G broadband services, a mobile wireless telecommunications service with 3.5G technology. In August 2009, we were granted additional spectrum for a second 3.5G carrier, which we believe will allow us to double our network capacity to serve our broadband subscribers. We have started to deploy the new HSPA+ 3.5G network, with downlink speed of up to 42Mbps and uplink speed up of to 5.6Mbps. We have re-aligned our broadband portfolio to focus more on our target segments. Since September 2009, pure data/Internet broadband services, which is for use on personal computers (data only/large screen), have been managed and sold by IM2. Wireless broadband services for handheld devices (for small screen use) are provided through Matrix, Mentari and IM3. In December 2009, we successfully launched our “Broadband-On-Request” program, which is activated by subscribers via SMS or USSD, for Mentari and IM3 customers, and on October 2010 for matrix subscribers providing options of daily, weekly and monthly packages, with quotas allocated for the respective period of subscription and unlimited packages.

Subscribers and Marketing

We segment the Indonesian population by location, disposable income and other factors we believe indicate the desire and ability of individuals and corporations to purchase our products and services. We then target areas that are generally more prosperous as these areas tend to yield a higher density of potential cellular subscribers. Through this approach, we have achieved a diversified cellular subscriber base spread throughout Indonesia’s major population centers. We implemented this strategy to adapt to competition from new entrants and pricing pressures in major urban areas.

Our prepaid subscriber base has grown significantly over the past three years relative to our postpaid subscriber base. As of December 31, 2008, we had 661,213 postpaid and 35,591,033 prepaid cellular subscribers. As of December 31, 2009, we had 1,082,215 postpaid and 31,163,859 prepaid cellular subscribers. As of December 31, 2010, we had 565,503 postpaid (Matrix) and 43,170,139 prepaid cellular subscribers. We conduct nationwide marketing and promotional activities in an attempt to retain our existing valued cellular subscribers and to acquire new cellular subscribers. We believe Indonesian cellular subscribers tend to favor the convenience, ease of activation, avoidance of fixed commitments and lack of credit checks associated with prepaid cellular plans. Accordingly, we have focused on this particular subscriber base in our marketing efforts.

As reported in our Form 6-K filed on July 22, 2010, we issued a restatement of our cellular subscriber base as at March 31, 2010 from 39.1 million to 37.7 million. This discrepancy arose during the compilation of data from multiple reporting systems. The same issue resulted in an over-reporting of subscribers in the second and third quarters of 2009. Accordingly, the total number of subscribers of 33.0 million and ARPU of Rp37,664 for 2009 reported above reflect the restated figures, compared with the total number of subscribers of 33.1 million and ARPU of Rp37,330 previously reported.

As of December 31, 2010, we had approximately 44,272,317 subscribers, including approximately 536,675 subscribers to our wireless broadband services.

To consolidate our marketing channels for cellular services, we have opened integrated walk-in centers, under the names “Galeri Indosat,” which we operate, and “Griya Indosat,” which are operated by our exclusive distributors. These walk-in centers function as sales outlets and provide potential and existing cellular subscribers with customer service and product information. We also have a dedicated team of employees who coordinate sales and services to Indonesian corporations.

To supplement our direct marketing channels, we maintain a network of approximately 51 independent dealers, to whom we offer various incentives for the promotion and sale of our services. These independent regional and multi-regional dealers have their own distribution networks throughout Indonesia and promote our cellular services, primarily to individuals. These dealers include major distributors of mobile handsets and typically have their own retail networks, direct sales forces and sub-dealers in Indonesia. These outlets serve as additional branch outlets for us and offer a broad range of services, including product and service information, customer service and bill payment processing. Existing and new cellular subscribers can activate and register and pay for all of our prepaid cellular services at these outlets. We continue to maintain our relationships with our dealers in an attempt to generate higher sales volume through better product placement, an integrated dealer network and enhanced dealer loyalty.

Tariff Structure and Pricing

The MOCIT establishes a tariff formula that determines the amounts that operators may charge for prepaid and postpaid cellular services, although allows cellular service providers to offer promotional programs that offer lower prices than the ceiling tariffs. We currently price our prepaid cellular services under a variety of ongoing promotional programs pursuant to which we offer a variety of incentives to attract new subscribers, stimulate demand and improve our competitive position. We may charge different rates for prepaid and postpaid cellular services, depending on various factors that apply to a particular type of service. For instance, the billing expenses we incur to serve our postpaid subscribers will likely be higher and accordingly, our rates for postpaid cellular services tend to be higher than those for prepaid cellular services.

The Indonesian cellular telecommunications market uses a “calling party pays” system, which requires the originators of telephone calls to pay for calls. If our subscriber makes a call to another network, we incur interconnection charges. SMS operates on a “sender-keeps-all” basis, which means that we earn revenues whenever one of our cellular subscribers sends an SMS, but not when a customer of another telecommunications operator sends an SMS to one of our cellular subscribers. For our GPRS service, we charge cellular subscribers Rp3 per kilobyte of data downloaded for the first 300k and Rp0.5/kB up to Rp2/kB (excluding tax) thereafter, depending on the download time(off peak or peak time). We receive roaming settlements from foreign telecommunications operators when their cellular subscribers roam on our network. For our wireless broadband services, we offer various pricing packages depending on the payment method (prepaid or postpaid), transmission speed and monthly quotas.

Activation Fees and Monthly Charges. Activation fees represent the initial connection fees charged to new prepaid subscribers when subscribing to a cellular network. Monthly charges represent fixed amounts charged to postpaid subscribers, particularly Corporate BlackBerry Enterprise Service users that require new BlackBerry™ software. Since 1998, we have not charged our postpaid subscribers an activation fee. We offer

several programs for postpaid subscribers, including a minimum monthly usage of Rp25,000, “Matrix Strong” package plan for Rp50,000 providing 75 free on-net calls and 75 SMS, “Matrix Unlimited” package plan providing unlimited calls to 1 or 2 registered Indosat numbers starting from Rp60,000 per month and other promotional programs.

Usage charges. There are three types of calls: local, domestic long distance, and international calls. Calls are charged on different charging blocks, from per second up to per minute block, depending on the package plan chosen by the subscriber. Calls may terminate on any of the cellular, fixed or satellite networks. For on-net calls, our subscribers are charged favorable rates because of our ability to offer bundled products, such as cellular and international long-distance services. For off-net calls, the usage charges of subscribers are greater because of interconnection, domestic long-distance, and international long-distance charges.

Value-added Services. Prior to 2008, tariffs for value-added services were not regulated by the Government. Since April 2008, the MOCIT has been responsible for setting the tariff formula for SMS. As with voice services, we offer promotional discounts for SMS and mobile data services for both postpaid and prepaid subscribers.

Interconnection

The charges for postpaid subscription services consist of monthly subscription and interconnection-based usage charges. Charges for prepaid subscription services likewise include interconnection-based usage charges. The interconnection-based usage charges for both prepaid and postpaid cellular services are calculated by considering three interconnection costs: originating, transit and terminating costs.

Since January 2007, the MOCIT has set a tariff formula for interconnection services. The MOCIT sets this tariff formula on a “cost” basis, based on RIOs submitted by dominant service providers in Indonesia, which include us. The MOCIT approved the RIOs we submitted in 2007 and 2008, which have not been adjusted for 2009 and 2010. On December 31, 2010, BRTI issued letter No. 227/BRTI/XII/2010 which set a new set of interconnection tariffs. The new interconnection tariffs took effect on January 1, 2011 and will be reflected in the adjustment of our RIOs. We will apply the charges in our RIOs to the interconnection agreements we have with other operators. The charges under our RIOs have been decreasing in the past few years, and we expect the downward trend to continue.

We currently interconnect with fixed line and cellular networks operated by all network operators at numerous locations throughout Indonesia. To minimize our interconnection expenses, we utilize our own backbone transmission facilities whenever possible and in compliance with applicable regulations. For example, routing a long-distance call from a customer in Surabaya to a destination customer in Jakarta through our fiber optic or microwave transmission lines allows us to avoid the use of another operator’s network, thereby lowering our interconnection expenses associated with routing our intra-network usage.

Activation, Billing and Collection

Prepaid cellular subscribers can purchase starter packs from our sales and distribution points or through our various independent dealers. To activate service, a new prepaid cellular subscriber must register with us by following the instructions using the interactive menu. Potential postpaid subscribers can apply for our cellular services at our sales and distribution points or through our independent dealers. Many of our independent dealers, however, can only receive new applications for postpaid cellular services, which are then forwarded to us for processing. A potential subscriber for our postpaid service is required to provide proof that such subscriber meets our minimum credit requirements. If a potential subscriber does not meet our postpaid requirements, our sales representative recommends our prepaid services. Once approved, postpaid service SIM cards are activated within 24 hours.

We bill our postpaid subscribers on a monthly basis through our centralized billing division. In the case of prepaid subscribers, the wireless billing system automatically reduces the value of each prepaid subscriber’s

account as originating, transit and terminating charges are assessed. Our postpaid subscribers have a variety of payment options in paying their monthly bills. Payments may be made by cash and major credit cards through Indosat galleries, bank tellers or post office branches. In addition, subscribers can also make payment via automatic debit through banks or participating credit card companies, bank transfers, automated teller machines, Electronic Data Capture, mobile banking, Internet banking, and phone banking. Payments are due 20 days after the account statement date. Twenty-seven days after the statement date, we remind subscribers who have not paid their balance and block their ability to make outgoing calls. We block a subscriber’s ability to make or receive calls 40 days after the statement date if he or she still has not paid his or her balance. We suspend the service for accounts that are more than 50 days past due and remove such subscriber’s data from our network and permanently disconnect the number and SIM card after 120 days from the statement date.

We have taken a number of steps to prevent subscriber fraud and to minimize losses. We deliver prepaid vouchers to our independent dealers only on a cash-on-delivery basis and we do not collect payments for our services from cellular subscribers through our independent dealers. In addition, depending on usage levels, we may require refundable deposits from subscribers. We also review accounts of our high-usage subscribers at regular intervals to ensure that the deposit levels continue to be adequate.

Competition

The cellular services business in Indonesia has become increasingly competitive during recent years. Competition in the cellular communications industry is based principally on network coverage, technical quality, price, the availability of data services and special features, and quality and responsiveness of customer service. Based on our internal estimates, the three major providers of wireless services in Indonesia, Telkomsel (which is majority-owned by Telkom), us and XL (which is indirectly majority-owned by Axiata Bhd. of Malaysia), accounted for almost 77% of the 2010 wireless subscriber base in Indonesia.

We also compete with others fixed wireless access service providers. In May 2003, Telkom introduced TelkomFlexi, a CDMA 2000-1X service in the Jakarta area. Currently, Telkom offers this service nationwide. Telkom offers this service as a fixed wireless access service, but the service has expanded mobility and value-added features similar to cellular services. After receiving requests from industry associations, the MOCIT issued a decree stating that the service area of the fixed wireless access network must be limited to an area equal to one area code of the local fixed network service. An operator of fixed wireless access service is therefore prohibited from extending its roaming services to other area codes, but CDMA operators still have the ability to achieve similar results by giving subscribers a new number when they move to other cities. In addition to TelkomFlexi, other telecommunications operators offer similar services such as Bakrie Telecom and Mobile-8, which offer their services nationwide.

From time to time, Indonesian telecommunications operators conduct aggressive subscriber acquisition programs with the goal of increasing individual market share. Through the offer of discounts, bonuses and special rates, operators attempt to differentiate their services from those of other operators, primarily based on price. This competition has caused tariffs to decline and, as a result, we believe cellular subscriber ARPU has continued to decline for most Indonesian telecommunications operators.

We believe competition for 3G services will be intense as telecommunications operators begin to deploy their networks in major population centers. Currently, there are five telecommunications operators holding 3G licenses: Telkomsel, Hutchison, Natrindo, XL and us. We commenced providing wireless broadband services using our 3G platform in 2009 and, as of December 31, 2009, we offered 3G services in 50 cities nationwide.

Our main competitors for wireless broadband services are Telkomsel, with its “Flash” service, and XL with its “XL Unlimited”, both of which use 3.5G W-CDMA technology. Other operators such as Smart Telecom and Mobile 8 also provide wireless broadband service with EVDO-CDMA technology.

We believe barriers to entry in the Indonesian cellular and fixed wireless access services industry are currently comparatively high due to the limited availability of frequency spectrum, a capital intensive operating

environment, difficulties in acquiring tower sites for network expansion and the established market presence of the three incumbents, us, Telkomsel and XL. Nevertheless, we are anticipating continued intense competition within the Indonesian cellular and fixed wireless access services industry generally. In response to this, we intend to dedicate a substantial portion of our future capital expenditures to our cellular business in an effort to increase network capacity and service quality and to provide various value-added services.

Services

World Link, Direct Link and Domestic Link. World Link is an IPLC that provides international connection of high-speed digital data circuits on a point-to-point basis via submarine and terrestrial cables and offers line speeds from 64 Kbps and multiples thereof up to 2 Mbps for narrowband or 45 Mbps and above for broadband. Direct Link is a leased line service through satellite / VSAT connections which provides high-speed digital data circuits on point-to-multipoint basis and offers line speeds from 64 Kbps and multiples thereof up to 2 Mbps for narrowband. Domestic Link is a domestic private leased circuits service that provides high-speed digital data circuits on a point-to-point basis and offers line speeds from 64 Kbps and multiples thereof up to 2 Mbps for narrowband or 45 Mbps and above for broadband. Most of our broadband World Link customers are telecommunications providers who require dedicated broadband international data links, and our narrowband World Link customers consist primarily of corporate users who subscribe to our World Link service for their own internal use. Direct Link is used for international connections and other leased line users located in areas that are not covered by terrestrial domestic networks. Our broadband Domestic Link customers in the domestic market include telecommunications providers that need dedicated domestic broadband data links, and our narrowband Domestic Link customers mostly are corporate users who use the service for their own internal use. We recorded operating revenues of Rp278.8 billion (US$31.0 million), from World Link, Direct Link and Domestic Link operations, representing 11.2% of our consolidated MIDI services operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2010.

IP VPN. We provide both international and domestic IP VPN services through Indosat, Lintasarta, and IM2, which provide customers with multi-point connectivity for data communication through our robust IP network cloud. These services support flexibility, scalability, and accommodate complex distributed computing applications, while maintaining the quality of service, security, and reliability close to that of private leased circuit.

Asia, with coverage extensions to North Asia, Europe, Japan, and the United States, in cooperation with several global service providers such as AT&T, C&W, BT, and NTT. We recorded operating revenue of Rp605.7 billion (US$67.4 million) from IP VPN operations, representing 24.3% of our consolidated MIDI services operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2010.

MPLS and Metro Ethernet. MPLS and Metro Ethernet are domestic and international leased line services, provided through our robust Internet Protocol network cloud. MPLS is a technology platform that has an ability to provide various classes of services on an Internet Protocol network, resulting in a flexible, scalable, reliable and secure data communication link, both for point-to-point or multipoint domestic inter-city and international connections. Our MPLS-based services consist of Premium Ethernet Point to Point, Premium Ethernet Multi Point, and IP VPN; and offer line speeds from 64 Kbps and multiples thereof up to 2 Mbps for narrowband or 45 Mbps and 155 Mbps for broadband. Metro Ethernet provides high-speed domestic inner-city bandwidth connections with line port speeds of 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps and 1 Gbps and an Ethernet base with an incremental guaranteed bandwidth of nx1 Mbps.

Frame Relay and ATM. We provide both international and domestic Frame Relay and ATM services, a high-speed leased packet switch technology, primarily through Indosat and Lintasarta, supplying customers with multilateral connectivity, reliable LAN interconnections and the power to support complex distributed computing applications.

We offer our various data connectivity services—World Link, Direct Link, Domestic Link, IP VPN, MPLS and Metro Ethernet, Frame Relay and ATM—to our various corporate customers, including multinational corporations, tailored to fit their specific information and telecommunications requirements, pricing parameters, speed requirements, and security concerns.

Satellite Services. We lease transponder capacity on our Palapa-D satellite, which is positioned in an orbital slot located over the Asia-Pacific region, to broadcasters and telecommunications operators. Indonesia has a large television market in which a number of privately-owned domestic broadcasters and international programmers compete with the state-owned broadcaster and many of these domestic and international broadcasters lease capacity on our satellite. We have entered into lease arrangements governing transponders on our Palapa-D satellite that vary in duration but generally terminate within two to five years of the effective date of the lease. Transponder leases may be terminated for breach of the lease agreement and, most of the leases provide that the lessee may terminate the lease with notice (generally six to 12 months) subject to the payment by the lessee of a termination fee equal to a percentage of the lease payments that would have been due had the lease not been terminated. Apart from our own use, we also lease transponder capacity on our Palapa-C2 satellite, with a maximum lease term of three years, to other telecommunications operators.

We also provide a variety of other supplementary satellite services, including occasional use for TV services, Indosat TV link, private network services, Internet access and multimedia and video conferencing. We expect demand for satellite services to continue to grow, mainly driven by accelerating growth of satellite derivative services. Pressure on pricing is expected to ease as a consequence of improved demand. Satellite services represented Rp136.0 billion (US$15.1 million) or 5.5% of our MIDI services operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Internet Services. We provide Internet Network Provider Services for ISPs and Dedicated Internet Access services for end users and corporate customers. For the year ended December 31, 2010, we operated three ISPs that contributed revenues of Rp519.6 billion (US$57.8 million). IM2 provides dedicated and dial-up services, and as of December 31, 2010, it had 2,130 corporate and small-to medium-size enterprises (“SME”) subscribers and 12,756 retail subscribers. In anticipation of increased competition in the Internet business, IM2 has developed a strategy to expand its business by developing an Internet protocol backbone through potential growth areas, deploying public hotspot services, establishing customer care centers, developing its network through joint investment schemes by using hybrid fiber and coaxial technology, and improving its business processes.

With IdOLA and LintasartaNet, subscribers can access information from many content providers in Indonesia and worldwide. Corporations may use LintasartaNet for Internet promotions, software and computer allocations, co-operative ventures or domestic and international trade transactions. We derived 20.9% of our consolidated MIDI services operating revenues from Internet services for the year ended December 31, 2010.

VSAT Net/IP and VSAT Link. Lintasarta’s VSAT Net/IP and VSAT Link services are satellite-based data networking systems. VSAT Net/IP connects and controls data traffic among remote locations, allowing for quick development of data for network customers with low-to-medium traffic in such sectors as financial services, transportation, trading and distribution. VSAT Link provides point-to-point digital transmission for remote locations by businesses with medium-to-heavy traffic such as those in the manufacturing, mining and financial services industries.

Disaster Recovery Center (DRC) and Data Center. We provide DRC and Data Center through Indosat and Lintasarta. We offer co-location, rack, cage, power, and other supporting facilities as value added services to corporate customers. We also provide backbone or domestic leased line services from our DRC or Data Center locations to customer headquarters, as part of our total telecommunications solutions.

Customers and Marketing

Our customers for MIDI services are primarily corporate clients and SMEs, although we also have wholesale and retail customers for certain services, such as our Internet services. Our marketing activities for MIDI services include group presentations, direct mail, partner promotions, customer retention programs and advertisements in publications and printed media. In June 2010, we launched our Indosat Corporate Solutions Micro site, which aims to facilitate corporate customers obtain information about Indosat Corporate Solutions products and services and increase brand awareness of the services. Each business unit seeks to maintain existing customer relationships through activities such as user forums, training seminars, courtesy visits and informal gatherings with customers. Lintasarta focuses on expanding its market share in industry segments outside its core competencies in banking and finance, in light of the anticipated consolidation and restructuring of those industries in Indonesia. In addition, Lintasarta has increasingly focused its sales and marketing efforts on SMEs by repackaging its products and services for their particular needs. Lintasarta is expanding the existing geographic coverage of its products and services to address the increasing demand for telecommunications infrastructure in outlying regions as a result of Indonesian political developments, including increased regional autonomy.

We support our subscribers through local area staff, a 24-hour help desk and integrated real-time network management. In April 2000, Lintasarta achieved ISO 9002 certification for its frame relay, digital data network and VSAT services. In January 2002, we obtained ISO 9001 certification for our frame relay, digital data network and VSAT services, evidencing our commitment to customer satisfaction and continuous service quality improvement. As a result of these activities, Frontier and Marketing Magazine awarded us the “Top Brand Award” in the ISP category for the years 2005 through 2010 and the “Best Contact Center Award” for 2007, 2008 and 2009. As appreciation of our commitment to operational excellence, in June 2010, Cable and Wireless awarded Indosat as “Best Partner” in the Maintain and Achieve Operational Excellent in Asia category in the Cable and Wireless Global partner Gathering in Singapore.

Tariff Structure and Pricing

Customers of our various MIDI services are charged based on the type of product and service provided, the capacity leased, their industry sector, geographic location and the length of service contracts with us (which generally range from one to three years). Service charges generally include the following components: initial installation; monthly service charges (based on location and access speed); transactional charges (based on the volume, duration and/or distance traveled for network traffic); and other charges for services such as consultancy and project management.

Satellite transponder lease rates to international lessees are negotiated individually with customers and depend on the supply and demand for services in the areas covered by our Palapa-C2 and Palapa-D satellites. Our offshore leases average US$1.03 million per annum for a full transponder. Almost all offshore lease payments are payable quarterly in advance in U.S. dollars and other widely used currencies.

Competition

Data communications service providers in Indonesia compete principally on the basis of price, range of services provided and customer service quality. During the last few years, competition among data communications service providers has intensified principally due to the issuance of new licenses resulting from the deregulation of the Indonesian telecommunications industry. We expect competition to continue to intensify. We believe that our major competitors are Citra Sari Makmur, Tangara Mitracom, Satkomindo and Primacom with respect to our VSAT services, and Telkom, XL, Indonesia Comnet Plus (Icon+), and Citra Sari Makmur, with respect to our domestic leased line services. In 2010, our international leased line services faced great challenges from new operators, such as Matrix and Moratel besides our main competitors, Telkom and XL. The Government declared Telkom as a dominant operator for leased circuits in 2007. As a result of this declaration, we believe Telkom will be subject to more regulatory approvals while we will be able to propose new tariffs without the requirement of Government approval.

ISPs in Indonesia compete on the basis of network quality, price and network coverage. With respect to Internet-related value-added services, we compete against Telkom and other existing ISPs, such as First Media, Biznet, CBN, Berca and Indonet. We also face significant competition from any new ISPs whose licenses are approved by the MOCIT.

As corporate markets demand greater speed at affordable prices, many bandwidth suppliers have begun making significant investments toward building superior infrastructure using new technology, such as “Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing,” or DWDM technology. DWDM technology poses a competitive threat to our business services since its infrastructure enables bandwidth suppliers to offer more bandwidth capacity with better cost efficiency. The bandwidth industry has been facing recent challenges from the emergence of new operators, such as Moratel and Matrix Cable System, which set up international cables linking Indonesia and Singapore in 2008.

Companies in the satellite business compete primarily on coverage, transponder power, product offerings and cost. Generally, the cost of service depends upon the combination of power and coverage. In recent years, competition within the satellite business in the Asia-Pacific region has been intense. Our satellite operations have primarily consisted of leasing transponders to broadcasters and telecommunications operators of VSAT, cellular and IDD services and ISPs. We face competition from foreign and domestic service providers in each of these areas. In leasing our transponders on the Palapa-D satellite, we compete most closely in Indonesia with Telkom and PT Pasifik Satelit Nusantara (“Pasifik Satelit Nusantara”). Pasifik Satelit Nusantara also owns transponders on the Mabuhay Philippines Satellite. Telkom currently operates its own satellites (Telkom-1 and Telkom-2) and earth stations primarily to provide backbone transmission links for its network. Telkom also leases satellite transponder capacity and provides earth station satellite uplinking and downlinking service to domestic and international users. Other private satellites serving the broadcast market within the coverage area of the Palapa satellites include AsiaSat-4, AsiaSat-3S, Apstar-2R, Apstar-5, Apstar-6, ThaiCom4, ThaiCom5, Measat-3, Measat-3a, Intelsat7, Intelsat8, Intelsat10 and Intelsat12. Measat Sdn. Bhd, which operates the Measat satellites, APT Satellite, which operates the Apstar satellites, and ThaiCom Public Company Ltd, which operates the ThaiCom satellites, also compete directly with us in the Asian regional market. Moreover, with the increasing popularity of Direct-To-Home television (“DTH”), our satellite business will face increasing competition as new and more powerful regional satellites are launched. DTH is the reception of satellite programs with a personal dish in an individual home. National broadcasters are seeking DTH licenses to provide nationwide broadcast services in Indonesia. DTH television will enable broadcasters to distribute their program content without utilizing our telecommunication network support. In addition, because of the growing popularity of DTH, we face the possible loss of customers because DTH uses a satellite platform that we do not provide.

Fixed Telecommunications Services

Our fixed telecommunication services include international and domestic long distance as well as fixed wireless access services. For the year ended December 31, 2010, we recorded operating revenues of Rp1,293.2 billion (US$143.8 million) from our fixed telecommunications services, representing 6.5% of our total consolidated operating revenues. Except with respect to payments from our cellular, fixed wireless and fixed line subscribers, we do not receive any payments directly from the end users of our international long-distance services. For the year ended December 31, 2010, 12.4% of our fixed telecommunications services operating revenues were derived from amounts received or receivable from Telkom and other domestic operators in respect of outgoing calls, 64.4% was derived from net settlements with foreign telecommunications operators in respect of incoming calls and the remaining 23.2% was derived from fixed wireless access services, direct billing for specific services, such as from calling card and fixed-line subscribers for the same period.

Services

International Long-Distance Services. We provide a variety of international voice telecommunications services and both international switched and non-switched telecommunications services. Switched services require interconnection with either the PSTN or another mobile cellular operator’s facilities; non-switched services can be completed through our transmission facilities without the need for interconnection.

Through our “001” and “008” international long-distance services, we currently handle approximately 25% of the traditional IDD business in Indonesia. To address increased competition resulting from industry deregulation, we launched “FlatCall 016” service in March 2005 and marketed it as a new product aimed at consumers in the most price-sensitive market segment. Beginning January 2007, in compliance with a decree from the Government, we changed the access code to a five digit code and named it “FlatCall 01016.” The “FlatCall 01016” product offers competitive tariff rates for certain top destination countries while offering regular VoIP tariff rates for other countries.

Our outgoing international long-distance calls are routed through one of our four international gateways. From these gateways, international long-distance services are transferred via satellite or submarine cable based on predetermined routing plans developed in collaboration with foreign telecommunications operators. The foreign carriers receiving calls through the international gateways are responsible for terminating the calls to their recipients. Similarly, international long-distance calls received at our gateways are switched from the gateway to their destinations domestically through Telkom’s local network, our cellular network, our fixed local network or one of the other cellular operators with which we maintain interconnection arrangements.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, our revenues from international long-distance services amounted to Rp993.2 billion (US$110.5 million).

The following table sets forth certain operating data for our international direct dialing services for the periods indicated:

During 2008, 2009 and 2010, our international outgoing calls measured by paid minutes increased by 59.6%, 5.9% and decreased by 7.8%, compared to the previous year, while our international incoming calls measured by paid minutes increased by 23.2%, decreased by 1.5% and increased by 10.6% for the same period. Combined outgoing and incoming calls, also measured by paid minutes, increased 30.0%, 0.2% and 6.1% during 2008, 2009 and 2010. We believe our growth in 2010 relative to the prior year was primarily due to our aggressive business strategy of emphasizing volume-based sales. We believe that increased competition from Telkom and VoIP operators, some of which are unlicensed, will continue to affect our business in the future.

Fixed Wireless Access Services. We launched our fixed wireless access services in 2004 to expand our fixed telecommunications business segment and to complement our cellular services. Using CDMA 2000 1x technology, our fixed wireless access services offer a cost-effective alternative to our cellular services to subscribers who have limited mobility requirements. As of December 31, 2010, our fixed wireless access service, “StarOne,” had a total subscriber base of 550,130 subscribers with 61,123 postpaid subscribers and 489,007 prepaid subscribers. For the year ended December 31, 2010, revenues from fixed wireless access services totaled Rp174.1 billion (US$19.4 million). On December 12, 2006, the Government granted us a license for two channels of nationwide fixed wireless access in the 800 MHz frequency. This license replaced our previous 1900 MHz fixed wireless access license and by the end of 2007, we migrated our CDMA frequency from 1900 MHz to the new 800 MHz frequency in the greater Jakarta area. We expanded our StarOne services to 82 cities by December 2010.

Local and Domestic Long Distance Services. We launched local and domestic long distance service from Indosat access points such as “StarOne” and “INDOSAT phone” in October 2005. We currently have local and domestic long-distance coverage of 82 major cities in Indonesia.

The principal customers of our fixed telecommunications services are corporate clients, our own cellular, fixed telecommunications and fixed wireless access customers, and the customers of other telecommunications operators.

We employ a specialized sales force, including a sales group, which focuses on our 500 largest customers, including hotels, large corporate customers, government offices and embassies. We have also implemented a customer loyalty program, which provides incentives to regular users. In addition, we seek to broaden our customer base by conducting joint promotions with other international telecommunications companies to promote our services. We strive to deliver high-quality services that maximize customer satisfaction.

We have undertaken a variety of marketing initiatives to improve our services to fixed telecommunications customers. Our marketing strategy focuses on: (i) strengthening our price-tiering strategy through implementation of “FlatCall 01016” to compete with VoIP services; (ii) expanding our market share while retaining our customers through bundling initiatives; (iii) establishing volume commitments for incoming traffic from foreign telecommunications operators; and (iv) expanding coverage of our fixed wireless access services. We have traditionally maintained a nationwide advertising campaign, using television, newspapers, magazines, websites and radio to increase brand awareness among business and retail customers. We also maintain regional sales offices in eight locations throughout Indonesia.

In 2010, approximately 36.8% of our outgoing international long-distance call minutes (including calls placed through “Flatcall 01016”) originated in the greater Jakarta area, followed by Eastern Java and Bali Nusa Tenggara, which together accounted for 23.9% of our outgoing international long-distance call minutes.

We maintain a proprietary database of customer information, which allows us to analyze consumer preferences and usage patterns and to develop tailored marketing and products. We conduct our own market research and also engage consultants to perform broader research on customer behavior and needs.

Tariff Structure, Universal Service Obligations and Pricing

Rates. Prior to 2008, the MOCIT set tariffs for fixed telecommunications services, which were based on the division of all destinations into six zones. On April 30, 2008, the MOCIT established a tariff formula for basic services on fixed networks and required operators to calculate prices using a cost-based formula, which are then submitted to the Government for approval. However, our international long-distance rates have not changed, and so we intend to continue applying international long-distance rates based on the previous regulations which base tariffs on six zones for call destinations.

The provision of international long-distance services between two countries is normally established between telecommunications carriers on a bilateral basis. We typically apply a market termination rate-based pricing system, pursuant to which we agree on asymmetric rates for incoming and outgoing calls. We maintain direct connections with 64 foreign telecommunications operators in 40 countries. Our agreements with these carriers set the terms of payment by us to the foreign telecommunications operators for use of their facilities in connecting international long-distance services billed in Indonesia and by the foreign telecommunications operators to us for use of our facilities (and the local Indonesian networks) in connecting international long-distance services billed abroad. The practice among telecommunications carriers is for charges due in respect of the use of overseas networks to be recorded, collected and forwarded by the telecommunications carrier from the country in which the call is billed. Based on the rates negotiated with each foreign telecommunications operator, we make payments to the carrier for outgoing traffic billed in Indonesia, and we receive payments from such carrier for inbound traffic billed outside Indonesia. Settlements among carriers are normally made quarterly on a net-based method. Our largest correspondent carriers are those located in Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, the Middle East and Hong Kong.

VoIP service providers may determine their own collection charges, and each service provider must negotiate with the applicable network provider for interconnection charges. We have entered into an agreement for Telkom to be our network provider for VoIP interconnection.

Interconnection with Domestic Networks. Although we provide international gateways for outgoing calls from and incoming calls to Indonesia, all international long-distance services must terminate on one of the domestic fixed or cellular networks. The MOCIT sets interconnection tariffs for international long-distance services which traverse the domestic fixed-line and fixed wireless access networks. We have separate interconnection agreements, which reflect these tariffs, with those operators that interconnect directly with our international gateways.

Universal Service Obligations. The Government imposes a Universal Service Obligation (“USO”) tariff, which from 2005 through 2009 was 0.75% of annual gross revenues less interconnection expenses paid to other telecommunication carriers and bad debts. In January 2009, the Government increased USO tariffs from 0.75% of annual gross revenue to 1.25% of annual gross revenue (after deducting interconnection charges and bad debts).

Customer Billing and Interconnection Charges

Domestic operators maintain control over the billing and collection process for international long-distance services, which are initiated on the domestic networks. Domestic operators retain the appropriate interconnection charges owed to them from the amounts collected and remit the balance (without interest) in Indonesian rupiah to us within not less than 25 days of collection from the customer in Indonesia. The collection cycle for most of the domestic operators is approximately 30 days. We are responsible for generating and delivering such billing information to the domestic operators, through a module known as the System Online Clearing Interconnection service, every twelfth day of the month, which is then billed by the domestic operators approximately five days after receipt from us, resulting in a collection cycle of approximately 50 to 80 days. For purposes of financial reporting, we recognize revenues on a monthly basis based upon our own traffic records. We bill our domestic cellular operators in the middle of the following month and require payment by the end of the month. Accordingly, the normal collection cycle with respect to domestic cellular operators is approximately 20 to 60 days.

 

44


Table of Contents

We remit the appropriate interconnection charge to the relevant operator for incoming calls terminating on the domestic networks. We generally remit such charges in 20 to 60 days by netting the receivables for outgoing calls. The settlements from foreign telecommunications operators are typically paid in U.S. dollars, which are deposited in Indonesia, and amounts representing interconnection payments payable by us to the domestic network operators are remitted in Indonesian rupiah.

Customer usage of fixed wireless access and domestic long-distance services is calculated starting from the beginning of the month until the end of the month. Customer billing is generated at the beginning of the following month and completed by the fifth day of that month. Billing statements are generally received by customers no later than the tenth of the month and payments are due by the twentieth of the month. For fixed wireless access service, we block the subscribers’ ability to make calls when they have not paid their balance due by the twenty-second day of the month. We block a customer’s ability to make or receive calls 40 days after the statement date if he or she still has not paid his or her balance. We permanently disconnect service and cancel accounts for customers whose bills are more than 60 days past due from the first day of the generated bill. For domestic long-distance services, by the end of the month, we block customers from making calls if they have not paid their balance. For customers who have not paid their balance due by the end of the second month, we block the customers’ ability to make or receive calls. We permanently disconnect service and cancel accounts for customers whose bills are 90 days past due from the first day of the generated bill.

Competition

We are no longer the only authorized provider of traditional IDD (i.e., non-VoIP) call services in Indonesia. The MOCIT has granted operational licenses to provide IDD services to Telkom, which includes the right to use the IDD access code “007” to enter the international long-distance market, and Bakrie Telecom. The Government may also issue new licenses for IDD services to other telecommunications operators, which will increase competition. In addition, Telkom no longer operates a monopoly for DLD services. The traditional IDD market has become even more competitive with the increased usage of VoIP technology. Our VoIP business has increased significantly from 201.9 million minutes, 442.4 million minutes, and 411.7 million minutes in 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively.

In April 2008, we and Telkom agreed to open DLD access from our respective customers in Balikpapan, pursuant to which Telkom’s fixed network customers can dial “011” to access our DLD network while our local fixed network customers can dial “017” to access Telkom’s network. In addition, in 2008, Bakrietel was issued a license as a new DLD operator. The opening of DLD access among competitors and the commencement of operations of new DLD operators is expected to increase competition by providing customers with more options for DLD services.

We also face competition from other fixed wireless access service providers. Currently, Telkom, the largest fixed wireless access operator, offers TelkomFlexi, a CDMA 2000 1x service in Indonesia. Bakrie Telecom, which offers services in Indonesia, and Mobile-8, have also been granted new nationwide fixed wireless access services licenses, further intensifying competition in this segment.

Facilities and Infrastructure

Prior to the first quarter of 2010, newly-built or newly-acquired base transceiver stations, node B stations, BTS, base station controllers, mobile switching centers, radio network controllers or media gateways which were not yet in operation were included in the reports of the Company. Beginning in the first quarter of 2010, as disclosed herein, the Company included newly-built or newly-acquired base transceiver stations, node B stations, BTS, base station controllers, mobile switching centers, radio network controllers or media gateways in its various reports only when they were actually put in operation. Under the Prior Computation, the Company would have the following numbers:

We purchase our cellular telecommunications equipment primarily from European and Chinese suppliers. Our network is an integrated system employing switching equipment, cell site equipment and a transmission network of point-to-point microwave radio. Most of our cell sites and radio base stations are located in or on buildings or on vacant lots, which we own, or for which leases have been individually negotiated by us for terms typically varying from five to 20 years.

As a result of operating three legacy networks using equipment from numerous suppliers, our capital expenditures have historically been higher than would be the case if we were operating a single network using fewer suppliers. Commencing in 2009, as part of our functional management strategy, we began to rationalize our capital expenditure and procurement planning through our newly-established investment committee. We have focused our procurement on fewer suppliers and have adopted a framework agreement approach with such suppliers, which we believe has significantly increased the efficiency of our capital expenditure program.

We are considering various options in connection with the operation, ownership and use of our tower assets that we believe will optimize the value of such assets.

Fixed Telecommunications Network

We have built a fixed telecommunications network consisting of six international gateways served by satellite circuits, submarine cables and microwave transmission. By the end of 2010, we offered fixed wireless access services across 82 cities in Indonesia.

International Gateways. For our international long-distance business, we operate through six gateways, three gateways in Jakarta, and one gateway in Surabaya, Medan and Batam, which provide all of the connections for our services to our international long-distance network. The gateway-switching equipment was purchased from Lucent Technologies, Inc. (which has since merged with Alcatel) and Siemens.

As of December 31, 2010, we had available international bandwidth capacity of 1,998.72 Mbps for voice and 21,387.00 Mbps for data transmission. All of our destinations are digitally connected. The bandwidth available to us is significantly higher than the utilized capacity to allow for anticipated growth in traffic. It is our policy to maintain average utilization at less than 80.0% of capacity to allow for increased usage during peak hours.

Each international gateway is linked to the other international gateways, which permits multiple routing options for each call and provides the system with backup capability in case of equipment failure or overcrowding at any gateway. We have placed interconnection equipment at the facilities of Telkom and certain of the cellular operators to connect our international long-distance network to the domestic telecommunications network.

International transmission of voice and data between international gateways occurs across either satellite circuits or submarine cables. Satellite circuits are unaffected by distance and offer broadcast services making them flexible with regard to call destinations. Submarine cables, especially fiber optic digital cables, can offer less expensive high-quality services. However, cable costs increase with distance and destinations are fixed. Satellite circuits can be degraded by atmospheric conditions, while submarine cables can suffer damage from human or natural causes. In general, we use submarine cables with cable-to-cable backup for medium-distance links in Asia and satellite links backup for longer-distance transmission. We use microwave and fiber optic links for connections between gateways and earth stations, as well as for the Batam gateway, which has microwave links to Singapore. It is our policy to maintain 100% redundancy for all of our international long-distance links (which may require routing through a third country) in an effort to provide high-quality services to our customers.

To support the operations of our gateway in Surabaya, we have operated the Jakarta-Surabaya submarine fiber optic cable link since January 1997. This link enhances network reliability and improves the quality of our services in the Surabaya region.

We, along with the Telecommunications Company of Iran (“TCI”), are among more than 80 companies that have an ownership interest in, and access to capacity in the SEA-ME-WE 3 submarine cable. Our ownership interest in the SEA-ME-WE 3 submarine cable stands at approximately 3.4% while TCI’s ownership interest stands at approximately 0.3%. The SEA-ME-WE 3 submarine cable does not have any landing point in Iran. The connection to Iran is through the UAE-Iran submarine cable system that lands at Fujairah Cable Landing Station (UAE). International Satellite Circuits. As of December 31, 2010, our available data circuits through the earth station at our Jakarta gateway was 0.64 Mbps. Our satellite capacity is currently obtained principally from Intelsat and, to a lesser extent, from our Palapa-D satellite. Since December 31, 2002, we have been migrating traffic from satellite transmission to submarine cables due to higher quality, increased availability and lower costs of submarine cables.

Our fixed wireless access network currently operates using 5 MHz of radio frequency bandwidth in the 800 MHz spectrum. The following table sets forth selected information regarding our fixed wireless access network as of the dates indicated:

Other Communication Facilities

Our Palapa-C2 and Palapa-D satellite communication systems and fiber optic link to major commercial centers as well as remote areas of Indonesia are used in the provision of our MIDI services and for cellular backhaul.

Satellite Communication System. Communications satellites are of varying use, depending on features such as their footprint, or coverage areas, transponder power (typically stated in dBW), and transponder bandwidth. Transponder bandwidth, expressed in terms of megahertz, varies between C-band and Ku-band transponders. C-band is used worldwide as a standard for satellite communications to transmit signals with minimum atmospheric interference. They can provide very broad coverage over most of the Asian continent, making them very popular for applications such as television broadcasting. Ku-band transponders operate at a frequency of approximately 11-14 gigahertz. While Ku-band frequencies are more prone to moisture and rain attenuation than C-band frequencies, they are more suitable for small antenna applications. Ku-band is generally used for the same purposes as C-band, as well as for satellite news-gathering (truck-mounted antennas) and some VSAT applications. Ku-band is especially prevalent in areas with dense ground-based microwave systems. To compensate for loss of signal strength caused by moisture and rain attenuation, Ku-band transponders are generally of higher-power than C-band transponders and their footprints are smaller.

On August 31, 2009, we launched a new satellite, Palapa-D, to replace Palapa-C2 at orbital slot 113E, which will significantly increase our transponder capacity and provide wider satellite coverage. After a successful traffic transfer from Palapa-C2 to Palapa-D in early November 2009, Palapa-C2 moved to orbital slot 150.5E and operates in inclined orbit until approximately 2014 to carry our cellular backhaul. When our Palapa-D satellite became operational, we significantly increased our transponder capacity, which allowed us to meet our own satellite transponder requirements, in addition to the requirements of customers who lease transponder capacity from us. Thus, approximately 60% of our Palapa-D standard C-band transponder capacity is currently being leased to third parties while the remaining 40% is being used to meet our own requirements. We successfully transferred the source of our own satellite requirements from Palapa D to Palapa-C2, thereby making approximately 40% of Palapa-D’s standard C-band transponder capacity, in addition to Palapa-D’s 11 new extended C-band transponders, available for lease to third parties in the third quarter of 2011.

The Palapa-D satellite has eleven 36-megahertz extended C-band transponders, twenty-four 36-megahertz standard C-band transponders, and five 36-megahertz Ku-band transponders wholly owned by us. The maximum power on each of the C-band and Ku-band transponders is 43 and 53 dBW, respectively. The Palapa-D satellite provides C-band coverage to substantially all of Asia with a footprint stretching from the Arabian Peninsula to Japan and China to New Zealand, including central and eastern parts of Australia. Its dBW levels range from a beam edge of 32 dBW to a beam center of 43 dBW. With this power, the Palapa-D satellite has the capability to

Table of Contents

provide uplink and downlink services from any location within the satellite footprint. The five Ku-band transponders provide coverage over Indonesia and some of ASEAN Countries with peak transponder power of 53 dBW.

The Palapa-C2 satellite has six 36-megahertz extended C-band transponders owned by Pasifik Satelit Nusantara, and twenty-four 36-megahertz Standard C-band transponders and four 72-megahertz Ku-band transponders owned by us. The maximum power on each of the C-band transponders is 40 dBW. Since the new location of Palapa-C2 is close to another satellite with the same Ku-band frequency plan, we, consistent with the rules and regulations of the International Telecommunication Union and our license, do not operate Ku-band transponders to avoid harmful interference from the other satellite. The Palapa-C2 satellite provides C-band coverage to substantially all of Asia, with a footprint stretching from Central Asia to Japan and southern China to New Zealand, including parts of Australia. Its dBW levels range from a beam edge of 32 dBW to a beam center of 40 dBW. With this power, the Palapa-C2 satellite has the capacity to provide uplink and downlink services from any location within the satellite footprint.

Fiber Optic and Microwave Terrestrial Links. Our new optical fiber backbone based on DWDM connects all provincial cities in Sumatera, Java, Kalimantan, and part of Sulawesi. The optical fiber backbone conveys cellular traffic within and between the cities at 40-60 gigabits per second and facilitates our progressive growth of Internet broadband through 3.5 HSDPA and fixed broadband wireless access. Due to capacity and technology considerations, the existing microwave terrestrial system has been shifted to cover remote spur route areas. As of December 31, 2010, we had fiber optic and microwave terrestrial links to more than 25 major cities nationwide. These links are primarily used to deliver Internet and other MIDI services to corporate customers.

In December 2010, we entered into a purchase order with Alcatel Lucent Submarine Networks to upgrade the capacity of existing JAKASUSI submarine cable system, which required us to spend approximately US$ 2.6 million in capital expenditure. The upgraded system will increase inter-island capacity from/to Jawa—Kalimantan (90 Gbps) and Kalimantan—Sulawesi (60 Gbps). The upgraded system is expected to be ready for service in July 2011.

In December 2010, we entered into a purchase order with IFactor Sdn Bhd, Malaysia to construct the JAVALI submarine cable system, a new submarine cable system which will link Jawa (East Jawa) island and Bali island and provide high capacity bandwidth, and which involved a total project cost of US$10.8 million. The JAVALI submarine cable system will be wholly-owned by us and is designed with 24 optical fiber cores (unrepeated system). The system will be initially equipped with 50 gigabits per second capacity with its ultimate capacity at 160 gigabits per second capacity per fiber pairs. The construction of this new cable system is expected to be ready for service in July 2011.

IP/MPLS Backbone and Metro Ethernet Network. As of December 31, 2010, we had completed our Metro Ethernet Network deployment project in more than 299 points of presence in Indonesia with fiber optic connectivity. Through this network, we provide virtual leased lines offering point-to-point Ethernet access, virtual private LAN service offering multipoint-to-multipoint Ethernet access and virtual private routed networks offering locally linked IP VPN and Internet. We also use our Metro Ethernet Network for backhauling our 2G and 3G cellular traffic. Dual redundant routers for IP-MPLS backbone have also been deployed in 24 cities and are connected through our fiber optic backbone. A Metro Ethernet network has also been deployed in nine major Indonesian cities to provide broadband access to the corporate market in high-rise buildings and cellular backhaul for 3.5 HSDPA service. Internet access, broadcasting service and data center connectivity are among the services used by our customers.

As the technology moves towards “all IP” and the demand of IP-based services is increasing due to its advantages over legacy networks, we aim to deploy a future network to allow IP-based services to be widely available in the region. In 2008, we completed construction of a Disaster Recovery Center (“DRC”) in Jatiluhur for corporate customers to allow them to have a data back-up center to secure and protect their business information.

Our most important properties are located in Jakarta (approximately 12,050 sq.m. used for international gateways and head office), Ancol (approximately 11,809 sq.m. used as a cable station and switching center), Tanjung Pakis, Karawang (approximately 1,850 sq.m. used as a cable station), Daan Mogot (approximately 134,925 sq.m. used as a satellite earth station complex), Jatiluhur (approximately 135,800 sq.m. used as a satellite earth station complex), Medan (approximately 9,780 sq.m. used for international gateways), Pantai Cermin (approximately 68,228 sq.m. used as an earth station and a cable station), Batam Sekupang (approximately 19,989 sq.m. used for international gateways and an earth station), Tanjung Bemban (approximately 3,500 sq.m. used as a cable station), Surabaya (approximately 10,565 sq.m. used as a regional office) and Banyu Urip-Gresik (approximately 125,344 sq.m. used as an earth station, for international gateways and as a cable station), Takisung—Banjarmasin (approximately 1,000 sq.m. used as a cable station), Aeng Batu-batu-Makasar (approximately 2,000 sq.m. used as a cable station) and Sei Kakap Pontianak (approximately 5,394 sq.m. used as a cable station). Except for our property in Daan Mogot, which we lease from Telkom, we hold registered land rights to some of our properties, the initial periods of which are for approximately years. We expect that our land rights will be renewed at nominal costs for the foreseeable future. None of our properties are mortgaged or otherwise encumbered.

Indonesian Telecommunications Industry

Background

Since 1961, telecommunications services in Indonesia have been provided by a succession of state-owned companies. As in other developing economies, the expansion and modernization of telecommunications infrastructure is instrumental to Indonesia’s general economic development. In addition, Indonesia’s large population and economic growth have led to increased demand for telecommunications services.

Indonesia had an estimated population of approximately 229.96 million people as of 2009, ranking it the fourth most-populated country in the world based on International Telecommunications Union estimates. Indonesia’s gross domestic product, or GDP, has grown significantly from US$257.6 billion in 2004 to US$540.3 billion in 2009 in current U.S. dollars according to the World Bank, which represents a growth rate of 4.5%. This growth rate compares favorably against the approximately -2.2% and approximately -1.7% GDP growth experienced by Thailand and Malaysia, respectively, during the same period. According to the World Bank, GDP per capita at purchasing power parity has also increased from US$3,004.9 in 2003 to US$4,205 in 2008.

The Government, through the MOCIT, has extensive regulatory authority and supervisory control over the telecommunications sector. While the Government has historically maintained a monopoly over telecommunications services in Indonesia, recent reforms, the majority of which came into effect on September 8, 2000, have attempted to create a regulatory framework to promote competition and accelerate infrastructure investment in telecommunications facilities.

In Indonesia, fixed-line services are mostly provided by Telkom, a majority state-owned company, which owns and operates the country’s primary PSTN and fixed wireless access points. Before the implementation of the new interconnection regime, telecommunications operators interconnected with Telkom’s network to access all fixed-line and cellular users. Telkom’s local fixed-line monopoly ceased on August 1, 2002, and we have since commenced our build-out of a separate fixed-line network. According to the new interconnection regime, telecommunications operators may enter into bilateral agreements which enable them to interconnect directly with other telecommunications operators.

Although cellular penetration is low relative to its regional peers, based on International Telecommunications Union estimates, Indonesia’s cellular penetration rates have increased from approximately 28.7 % in 2006 to approximately 69.3% in 2009, a compound annual growth rate of 42.4%. Indonesia’s GDP growth profile and relatively low penetration rates suggest the potential for increased cellular customer demand in Indonesia. Moreover, in 2009, the number of fixed lines, including fixed wireless access, was approximately 33.9 million, representing a fixed-line penetration of 14.8 %, among the lowest in the region and a result of stagnant fixed-line growth under previous regulatory systems. The table below summarizes certain information regarding Indonesian and regional cellular and fixed-line penetration in 2009:

Cellular Services Market

The telecommunications industry in Indonesia has experienced significant growth in cellular telecommunications services in recent years. Based on International Telecommunications Union estimates, the total number of cellular subscribers in Indonesia increased from approximately 63.8 million as of December 31, 2006 to approximately 159.2 million as of December 31, 2009, representing an increase in cellular penetration from approximately 28.7% to approximately 69.3%. Despite this rapid growth rate, the cellular penetration rate of 69.3% as of December 31, 2009, is relatively low compared to other countries in the region.

The following table contains information relating to the cellular telecommunications industry in Indonesia as of and for the periods indicated:

Cellular penetration is the number of cellular subscribers as a percentage of the Indonesian population.

The wireless market in Indonesia is currently dominated by three major GSM operators: Telkomsel, us and XL. Starting in 2002, the Government issued new cellular licenses for using CDMA technology to Mobile-8 and fixed wireless access services licenses using CDMA technology to Telkom, Indosat, and Bakrie Telecom. As of December 31, 2010, these nationwide GSM operators collectively held almost 90.8% share of the Indonesian wireless market based upon our estimates. As of December 31, 2010, Telkomsel was the largest national licensed cellular services provider in Indonesia, with approximately 94.0 million cellular subscribers and approximately more than 49.4% GSM market share. We were the second largest cellular provider with approximately 44.3 million cellular subscribers and approximately 21.0% GSM market share as of the same date. XL, the third-largest provider, had approximately 40.4 million cellular subscribers and an approximately 20.4% GSM market share as of the same date. Fixed wireless access service is dominated by Telkom under the brand Flexi with 16.8 million subscribers, as reported in Telkom’s press release as of December 31, 2010. The second largest provider is Bakrie Telecom under the brand Esia with 21.1 million subscribers, as reported in Bakrie Telecom’s Full Year 2009 report. Our fixed wireless access is 0.6 million subscribers under the brand StarOne. There are other smaller players in Indonesian wireless market, such as HCPT, NTS, Mobile-8, Smart Telecom and STI.

In part, wireless subscriber growth in Indonesia has been driven by the “calling party pays” system, the launch of prepaid service, as well as the introduction of SMS. The calling party pays system requires the originators of telephone calls to pay for calls. Based on international experience, countries that implement a calling party pays system typically experience higher wireless penetration rates because wireless subscribers are more likely to give out their telephone numbers and keep their handsets switched on.

Since its introduction in 1998, prepaid service has been popular in Indonesia, as in other Asian countries, because it permits customers to register for wireless service without undergoing a credit review. Prepaid service

also gives customers more control over monthly expenditures. SMS has proven to be popular in Indonesia, particularly on the prepaid platform, as it provides a convenient and cost-efficient alternative to voice and e-mail communications. Competition in the Indonesian wireless services industry is based primarily on service quality, pricing, availability of data services and value-added features such as voice mail and text messaging.

International Long-Distance Market

International long-distance providers in Indonesia generate revenues from both inbound and outbound international long-distance traffic. The three international long-distance service providers are Telkom, which offers its “007” service, Bakrietel with its “009” IDD access code and us with our “001” and “008” access codes. Outgoing tariffs are based on rates set by the MOCIT while incoming tariffs are settled at the applicable accounting rates. Outgoing traffic is generated by fixed-line and mobile subscribers and delivered to the three international service providers directly through international gateways or indirectly through Telkom’s PSTN. Incoming international traffic is received at international gateways and either routed directly to its intended destination from the gateways or indirectly through Telkom’s PSTN network through which it is ultimately switched to its intended destination.

In Indonesia, as in many emerging market countries, inbound communications traffic has exceeded outbound traffic as more developed countries generate a disproportionate amount of international long-distance traffic.

Historically, inter-operator traffic has been settled based on a concept of accounting rates which provide a common method of compensating the originating and terminating carrier. In general, international long-distance carriers negotiate per minute accounting rates on a route-by-route basis with a single rate used by all carriers on that route. During 2003, we began to replace the accounting rate system with a market termination rate-based pricing system with several of our largest foreign telecommunications counterparts, pursuant to which we agreed on asymmetric rates for incoming and outgoing calls. Under the market termination rate-based system, we are able to reduce the rates we pay for outgoing calls to most international destinations by a greater amount than the reduction in prices for calls from such destinations to Indonesia. While this pricing has reduced the prices we receive for incoming calls, we believe that, overall, it will improve our margins on international long-distance services, in particular for outgoing calls.

Competition from VoIP providers offering services, including budget calls such as “01017” provided by Telkom and “FlatCall 01016” provided by us, and prepaid calling cards has adversely affected and is expected to continue to adversely impact revenues from traditional international long-distance calling services.

As the data communications infrastructure expands in Indonesia, demand for VoIP services may increase. VoIP uses data communications connections to transfer voice traffic over the Internet, which usually provides substantial cost savings to subscribers.

Although the Government has implemented a licensing system to limit the number of VoIP operators in Indonesia, the Government does not presently control the rates charged to end users of VoIP services. However, the Government has indicated that it intends to regulate such rates in the future, and it is expected that such regulations would limit VoIP tariffs to amounts that represent a maximum discount of approximately 40.0% from the then-current PSTN tariffs.

Data Communications Market

Historically, data services in Indonesia primarily consisted of narrow bandwidth leased line services, x.25 service, digital data network service and integrated service digital network service. Digital data network services are digital leased line services for data transmission. Integrated service digital network is a protocol which offers high capacity dial-in access for public networks. This protocol allows simultaneous handling of digitized voice

and data traffic on the same digital links via integrated switches across the public network. x.25 is an open standard packet switching protocol that allows low- to medium-speed terminals to have either dial-in or permanent access to a network from a user’s premises and operate on a network. Charges for these services have been declining in recent years.

The rise of the Internet and the wider adoption of multimedia applications are expected to increase demand for sophisticated broadband data services. Operators in Indonesia are deploying advanced broadband networks to provide high-end data services such as frame relay, asynchronous transfer mode and Internet protocol service. In particular, virtual private network services, utilizing ATM and Internet protocol technologies, may capture a larger portion of the market share as they provide a reliable and cost-effective alternative to private networks that rely on dedicated leased lines.

Satellite Services Market

In recent years, competition in the Asia-Pacific satellite market has been intense. Companies in this business compete primarily on coverage power, product offerings and price. On September 6, 2005 through MD No.13/2005, the Government issued regulations requiring all telecommunications operators using satellites in connection with the provision of telecommunications services to possess both earth station and space station operating licenses. These operating licenses will be granted only to telecommunications operators with a landing right and on the condition that the radio frequency spectrum used does not cause harmful interference to existing operators. Foreign satellites are allowed to operate in Indonesia if Indonesian telecommunications operators have reciprocal operating rights in such satellite’s country of origin.

Industry Trends

We believe that the trends driving the telecommunications industry in Indonesia include:

Wireless Services

 

   

Continued growth in wireless telecommunications. We expect that the wireless telecommunications industry and demand for wireless telecommunications services will continue to grow at a steady rate of around 9% as Indonesia develops and modernizes. A significant amount of this growth will still come from the “traditional core” markets.

 

   

In addition to the growth in core markets, there are sizable emerging segments of strong growth, primarily in consumer broadband and mobile towers.

 

   

It took a century to connect one billion places with phone lines but less than 30 years to connect five billion people with mobiles, and it is expected that up to 50 billion objects will be connected in the next 20 years or less. This is an easy way to compare the penetration between wireless and wireline.

 

   

Significant growth in wireless penetration rates in regions outside Java. The relatively low wireless penetration rates in regions outside Java offer growth potential for wireless services providers in Indonesia as the population residing outside Java becomes more affluent.

 

   

Growing use of value-added services. The growth in usage for value-added services such as SMS, content, and Internet access is expected to increase in coming years, thereby helping to stabilize the decrease in usage rates and ARPU for voice services.

 

   

Today, there are multiple mobile operators and many companies are aggressively pushing for subscribers and traffic to quickly gain scale and earn market share. We expect consolidation to continue, especially beyond the three large players (Telkomsel, Indosat, XL). One of the major threats to the market is further price deterioration. Service offering and innovation will become the major driver in the competition.

 

57


Table of Contents

International Long-Distance Services

 

   

Increased competition in international long-distance services. We expect further governmental deregulation and service quality improvements for VoIP services to increase competition for international long-distance services.

 

   

Moderate growth in call volumes. We believe continued domestic economic growth and increase in cellular voice usage will stimulate incremental volume growth for international long-distance services. In addition, the growth of VoIP services is also expected to increase demand for international long-distance services.

MIDI Services

 

   

Increasing demand for advanced data communication services. We believe increasing Internet usage and the broadening market for multimedia applications will boost demand for sophisticated data communication services.

 

   

Intensified competition in the ISP market. As a result of market liberalization and the continued issuance of new licenses, we anticipate competition in the ISP market will increase. We believe competition will be based primarily on price, quality of service and network coverage.

 

   

Increasing demand for broadband services for both fixed and wireless. We believe the expected increase in customer preference and demand for high-speed Internet access will stimulate growth of domestic broadband service.

Regulation of the Indonesian Telecommunications Industry

The Government of the Republic of Indonesia, through the MOCIT, exercises both regulatory authority and control and implements policies that govern the telecommunications industry in Indonesia. The legal framework for the telecommunications industry is based on specific laws as well as government, ministerial and directorate general regulations that are promulgated from time to time. Prior to March 1998, the Ministry of Tourism, Post and Telecommunications regulated the telecommunications industry in Indonesia. Following the 1999 general elections and a change of government in 2001, the Ministry of Communication assumed responsibility for regulating the telecommunications industry. In February 2005, the authority to regulate the telecommunications industry was transferred from the Ministry of Communication to the MOCIT.

Through the MOCIT, the Government regulates telecommunications network operations and the provision of telecommunications services. In addition, the MOCIT regulates the radio frequency spectrum allocation for all telecommunications operators, each of whom must be licensed by the DGPT in order to utilize the radio frequency spectrum. In addition to radio frequency spectrum fees, the Government requires all telecommunications operators to pay a concession license fee equal to 0.5% of gross revenues, less interconnection expenses and provisions for bad debt, for each fiscal year, payable in equal quarterly installments.

The Government’s telecommunications reform policy is set out in its “Blueprint of the Indonesian Government’s Policy on Telecommunications” dated September 17, 1999. The policies, as stated in the blueprint, are to:

 

   

increase the telecommunications sector’s performance;

 

   

liberalize the telecommunications sector with a competitive structure by removing monopolistic controls;

 

   

increase transparency and predictability of the regulatory framework;

 

   

create opportunities for national telecommunications operators to form strategic alliances with foreign partners; and

 

   

create business opportunities for small-and medium-size enterprises and facilitate new job opportunities.

The recent regulatory reforms of the Indonesian telecommunications sector have their foundation in the Telecommunications Law.

The Telecommunications Law

The Telecommunications Law became effective on September 8, 2000 and provides key guidelines for industry reforms, including industry liberalization, facilitation of new entrants and enhanced competition. The Government implements such guidelines through Government regulations, ministerial decrees or regulations and other directives by Government bodies. The Telecommunications Law grants the Government, through the Ministry of Communication, the power to make policies, and to regulate, supervise and control the telecommunications industry. Until 2005, the Ministry of Communication, the former regulatory body of the telecommunications industry, had authority over the telecommunications sector in Indonesia and could issue regulations, policies and licenses, and formulate tariffs.

Government Regulation No. 52/2000 on Telecommunications Operations (the “Telecommunications Operations Regulation”) and Government Regulation No. 53/2000 on Radio Frequency Spectrum and Satellite Orbits, were the initial implementing regulations of the Telecommunications Law. The Ministry of Communication also promulgated various decrees, including (i) Ministry of Communication Decree No. KM 20 Year 2001, which was replaced by MOCIT Decree No. 01/PER/M.KOMINFO/01/2010 on Telecommunications Network Operation (the “Telecommunications Network Regulation”), (ii) Ministry of Communication Decree No. KM 21 Year 2001, which was amended by MOCIT Decree No. 31/PER/M.KOMINFO/09/2008 on Telecommunications Services Operation (the “Telecommunications Services Regulation”), and (iii) Ministry of Communication Decree No. KM 31 TAHUN 2003, which was revoked by MOCIT Decree No. 36/PER/M.KOMINFO/2008 and amended by MOCIT Decree No. 31/PER/M.KOMINFO/8/2009 on the Establishment of an Indonesian Telecommunications Regulatory Body (the “Telecommunications Regulatory Body Regulation”).

On July 11, 2003, the Ministry of Communication promulgated the Telecommunications Regulatory Body Regulation, pursuant to which it delegated its authority to regulate, supervise and control the Indonesian telecommunications sector to the BRTI, while maintaining the authority to formulate policies for the industry. The BRTI, which first convened in January 2004, consists of seven members, including a chair position held by the DGPT, from the DGPT and the Telecommunications Regulatory Committee. Members of the Telecommunications Regulatory Committee are appointed by the MOCIT. All members of the Telecommunications Regulatory Committee must: (i) be Indonesian citizens; (ii) have professional expertise in telecommunications, information technology, economics, law or any social science; (iii) not have any interests in any of the telecommunications operators; and (iv) not serve as a director, commissioner or employee of any of the telecommunications operators.

Ministry of Communications Decree No. KM 67 of 2003 governs the relationship between the Ministry of Communications (and subsequently, MOCIT) and the BRTI. As part of its regulatory function, BRTI is authorized to (i) carry out licensing for telecommunications networks and services in accordance with the MOCIT’s policies and (ii) propose to the MOCIT operational performance, service quality, interconnection charges and equipment standards for telecommunications networks and services. The BRTI is authorized to monitor and required to report to the MOCIT on (i) the implementation of such operation performance standards; (ii) competition among network and service operators; and (iii) compliance with the standards of utilization of telecommunication equipment. As part of its controlling function, the BRTI is also required to report to the MOCIT regarding (i) progress of any dispute resolution among network and service operators; (ii) the control of the use of telecommunications equipment and (iii) the implementation of service quality standards.

Classification of Telecommunications Providers

The Telecommunications Law classifies telecommunications providers into (i) network operators, (ii) services providers and (iii) special providers. Network operators are further classified as (i) fixed

 

59


Table of Contents

telecommunications network operators and (ii) mobile telecommunications network operators. Under the Telecommunications Law, licenses are required for each category of telecommunications operators. A telecommunications network operator is licensed to own and/or operate a telecommunications network. By contrast, a telecommunications service provider license allows a service provider to provide services, but does not require such provider to own a network. Special telecommunications licenses are required for providers of private telecommunications services or for purposes relating to broadcasting and national security interests. The Telecommunications Network Regulation provides that telecommunications network operating licenses must be issued by the MOCIT. The Telecommunications Services Regulation differentiates the basic telephony service operating license to be issued by the MOCIT from the other value-added telephony and some multimedia service operating licenses issued by the DGPT.

Termination of Exclusivity Rights

In 1995, Telkom was granted a monopoly to provide local fixed-line telecommunications services until December 31, 2010, and DLD services until December 31, 2005. Indosat and Satelindo (which has subsequently merged with Indosat) were granted a duopoly for provision of basic international telecommunications services until 2004.

As a consequence of the Telecommunications Law and MOCIT Decree No. 21 (2001), the Government terminated the exclusive rights of Telkom and the duopoly rights of Indosat and Satelindo. The Government instead adopted a duopoly policy with Telkom and us competing as full network and service providers.

The market for provision of IDD services was liberalized in August 2003 with the termination of Indosat’s and Satelindo’s exclusive rights. We began operating fixed line services in 2002 and fixed wireless access and DLD services in 2003 after receiving our DLD services license. Telkom subsequently received an IDD services license and began offering IDD services under the international access code “007” in 2004 in direct competition with us.

In an attempt to liberalize DLD services, the Government issued regulations requiring each provider of DLD services to implement a three-digit access code to be dialed by customers making DLD calls. On April 1, 2005, the MOCIT announced that three-digit access codes for DLD calls will be implemented gradually within five years of such date and that it would assign us the “011” DLD access code for five major cities, including Jakarta, and allow us to progressively expand to all other area codes within five years. Telkom was assigned “017” as its DLD access code. On December 3, 2007, MOCIT promulgated regulation No. 43/P/M.KOMINFO/12/2007, which delayed the implementation of the DLD access code until April 3, 2008 and also set forth a schedule on implementing “01X” long distance access. In January 2007, the Government implemented new interconnection regulations and a five-digit access code system for VoIP services. In April 2008, these access codes were implemented in Balikpapan. Balikpapan residents are able to choose from options “0”, “01016” or “01017” to connect their long distance calls. Whether the DLD access code will be implemented in other cities will be based on a study by the Indonesian Telecommunication Regulatory Board of Indosat and Telkom’s fixed phone service customers .

Tariff for Fixed and Cellular Services

The MOCIT is responsible for setting and adjusting tariff formulas. In 2006, the MOCIT promulgated a number of ministerial decrees/regulations, such as (i) No. 8/Per/ M.KOMINF /02/2006 on cost-based interconnection, (ii) No. 2/ PER/M.KOMINFO/1/2006, No. 4/PER/M.KOMINFO/1/2006, No. 7/PER/M.KOMINFO/2/2006, and No. 19/PER/M.KOMINFO/3/2006 on 3G Service Provision, (iii) No. 5/PER/M.KOMINFO/1/2006 on Telecommunication Kiosk, (iv) No. 09/PER/M.KOMINF/02/2006, which was replaced by No. 15/PER/M.KOMINFO/4/2008 on Fixed Telecommunications Tariff, (v) No. 11/Per/M.KOMINF/02/2006 on Lawful Interception, (vi) No. 12 Per/M.KOMINF/02/2006, which was replaced by MOCIT Regulation No. 09/PER/M.KOMINFO/09/2008 on Cellular Tariffs, and (vii) MOCIT Decision No. 102/ Kep/M.Kominfo/10/2006 on Indosat 2G and 3G Cellular Network License, as amended by

MOCIT Decree No. 181/2006 on Migration of FWA Network to 800MHz Allocated Frequency. In 2007, the MOCIT promulgated new ministerial decrees, including No. 162/2007 on the 800 MHz radio frequency channel allocation for operating FWA-CDMA and cellular networks (amendment of MOCIT decree No. 181/2006), MOCIT Regulation No. 05/PER/M.KOMINFO/2/2007 on Guidance For Tariff Implementation on USO Contributions, No. 03/PER/M.KOMINFO/1/2007 on Leased Circuits, No. 11/PER/M.KOMINFO/4/2007 (now No. 38/2007) on the implementation of infrastructure development using USO funds and MOCIT Regulation No. 43/P/M.KOMINFO/12/2007 on changes to all four FTPs (Fundamental Technical Plans)—2000, which delayed the date of implementation of the long distance access code in Balikpapan to April 3, 2008. In April 2008, the MOCIT promulgated ministerial regulation No. 9/PER/M.KOMINFO/04/2008 on tariff determination for cellular services, which determines the type and structure of cellular retail tariffs based on a formula, and No. 15/PER/M.KOMINFO/04/2008 on tariff determination for basic telephony services through fixed networks. The tariff covers basic telephony, roaming and multimedia services. The tariff for basic telephony services includes activation fees, monthly fees, usage fees and value-added service fees. Ceiling tariffs for retail cellular services differ between operators due to the use of different calculation methods. Based on the new regulation, the tariff value of basic telephony services through fixed networks and SMS as an additional facility must be calculated by the operator using a cost-based formula with the calculation results stated as ceiling tariffs. The Government is expected to change the fixed telecommunications tariff formulations in the near future. The Government regulates the tariff formulations for Leased Circuit businesses through MOCIT Regulation No. 03/PER/M.KOMINFO/1/2007.

Consumer Protection

Under the Telecommunications Law, each operator must meet certain service levels. In the event of losses caused by a telecommunication operator’s fault or negligence, the aggrieved party may file claims for damages against the telecommunications operator.

MOCIT Regulations on service level standards can be found in: (i) MOCIT Regulation No. 11/PER/M.KOMINFO/09/2008 dated April 21, 2008 on the Service Level for Basic Telephony Service in Local Fixed Network, (ii) MOCIT Regulation No. 12/PER/M.KOMINFO/09/2008 dated April 21, 2008 on the Service Level for Basic Telephony Service in the Cellular Mobile Network, and (iii) MOCIT Regulation No. 13/PER/M.KOMINFO/4/2008 on the Service Level for Basic Telephony Service in Fixed Networks with Limited Mobility.

Public Telephone

Based on our fixed telecommunications license for basic telephony service, we have an obligation to provide public telephone lines consisting of 3.0% of the installed network capacity for fixed telecommunications networks that we build.

Universal Service Obligations

Under the Telecommunications Law, all telecommunications network and service operators are bound by Universal Service Obligations (“USO”), which require participation by all operators in the provision of telecommunications facilities and infrastructure in MOCIT USO-designated areas. The USO is a measure intended to provide telecommunication access and/or services to areas that previously lacked access or service.

Through Government Regulation No. 28/2005 and MOCIT Regulation No. 15 PER/M.KOMINFO/9/2005, the Government announced regulations establishing the mechanism for USO payments and changing the USO tariff from Rp750 for each successful international outgoing or incoming call to 0.75% of an amount equal to gross revenues less interconnection expenses paid to other telecommunication carriers and bad debts. By Government Regulation No. 7/2009, the Government increased this USO tariff from 0.75% to 1.25%.

Table of Contents

In March 2004, the MOCIT promulgated Decree No. KM 34 year 2004, which included specifications for USO implementation program zones, technical requirements, operation, financing and monitoring (“KM 34/2004”). KM 34/2004 has been replaced with MOCIT Regulation No. 11/PER/M.KOMINFO/4/2007, which, in turn, has been amended by MOCIT Regulation No. 38/PER/M.KOMINFO/09/2007, which regulates the procedure for utilizing USO funds to develop network and telecommunication services in areas with no telecommunication network. In 2008, the Government promulgated MOCIT Regulation No. 32/PER/M.KOMINFO/10/2008 (as amended by MOCIT Regulation No. 03/PER/M.KOMINFO/02/2010), which replaced MOCIT Regulation No. 11/PER/M.KOMINFO/4/2007. According to this decree, a telecommunication network provider which has won tender to provide telecommunication services in areas with no telecommunication network (a “USO Zone”) will use the funds collected through the USO tariff to provide telecommunication access and services, including telephony service, SMS and internet access. While providing such telecommunication service in USO Zones, a telecommunications provider has the right to: (i) use technology, (ii) enter into interconnection arrangement with other telecommunication providers, and (iii) use a frequency spectrum of 2.390-2.400 MHz.

Interconnection Arrangements

In accordance with the express prohibitions in the Telecommunications Law on activities that may create monopolistic practices and unfair business competition, the Telecommunications Law requires network providers to allow users on one network to access users or services on other networks by paying fees agreed upon by each network operator. The Telecommunications Operations Regulation provides that interconnection charges between two or more network operators shall be transparent, mutually agreed on and fair.

On February 8, 2006, through MOCIT Regulation No. 8/PER/M.KOMINFO/02/2006, the Government issued new interconnection provisions setting out a cost-based interconnection regime, which replaced the previous revenue-sharing interconnection regime. As required under this regulation, the Government set a formula as guidance for calculating the interconnection cost for every operator. The results of the calculation are evaluated and used by the Government as a reference point.

Operators must include the result of the government’s formula in all RIO proposals, together with the proposals for call scenarios, traffic routing, point of interconnection, procedure for requesting and providing interconnection, and other matters. RIO proposals must also disclose the type of interconnection services and tariffs charged for each service offered. Interconnection access providers must implement a queuing system on a First-in-First-Serve basis. Additionally, the interconnection mechanism must also be transparent and without any discrimination.

Dominant IDD telecommunications operators, such as us, and non-dominant operators submitted RIOs in September 2006. The RIOs of dominant operators were approved by the Government in October 2006 and the implementation of the new regime began in January 2007 through bilateral agreements among operators. Based on current regulations, RIOs can be amended every year. On April 11, 2008, the Government approved RIO proposals from dominant operators to replace the previous RIOs.

The Government’s National Fundamental Technical Plan sets out technical requirements for routing plans, numbering, and technical aspects for interconnection of the networks of telecommunications operators, which allows all network operators to interconnect directly without rather than through the PSTN.

Fee Regime

Under the Telecommunications Law, in conjunction with other regulations, each telecommunications operator is required to pay the Government a license concession fee, a frequency fee and a satellite orbit fee, as applicable. The concession license fee for each telecommunications operator is approximately 0.5% of gross revenues, consisting of revenues from leasing of networks, interconnection charges, activation of new customers, usage charges, roaming charges and SIM card charges. In addition to these fees, the Government requires all

 

62


Table of Contents

telecommunications operators to pay a USO tariff equal to 1.25% of gross revenues less interconnection expenses and provisions for bad debt for each fiscal year, payable in equal quarterly installments. The frequency fee for CDMA 800 MHz, GSM 900 MHz, DCS 1800 MHz and 3G 2100 MHz is based on its bandwidth allocated frequency. In addition, certain users must pre-pay a one-time satellite orbital connection fee while their satellites are in operation.

Prepaid Cellular Subscriber Registration

On October 28, 2005, the Government began requiring telecommunications operators to register prepaid cellular subscribers. The regulations specified that such registration process must be completed no later than April 28, 2006, which deadline was later extended to September 28, 2006. We instituted procedures in order to complete the required registration at the initial point of sale and finalized the mandatory registrations by the deadline through the cancellation of 1.3 million unregistered accounts. As stated in MOCIT Regulation No. 23//M.KOMINFO/10/2005 on Registration of Telecommunication Service Customers, all operators have an ongoing duty to register their new prepaid cellular subscribers.

Satellite Regulation

The international satellite industry is highly regulated. In addition to domestic licensing and regulation in Indonesia, both the in-orbit placement and operation of our satellites are subject to registration with the Radio Regulation Bureau. Following the World Radiocommunication Conference, which took place from October 22, 2007 to November 16, 2007, some of Indonesia’s satellite characteristics at orbital slots 113E and 150.5E have been reinstated by the International Telecommunication Union. To facilitate utilization of the 150.5E orbital slot, the DGPT promulgated Decree No. 79/DIRJEN/2009 on March 12, 2009, which created a working group consisting of the DGPT, Telkom and us. In conjunction, on March 16, 2009, the MOCIT issued Letter No. 110/M. KOMINFO/03/2009 agreeing to work with us and Telkom to facilitate prompt utilization of the orbital slot.

Frequency of Fixed Wireless Access-CDMA

Through MOCIT Decree No. 181/2006, the Government reallocated 800 MHz frequency to FWA operators as part of a frequency clearance for 3G services (IMT-2000) to Bakrie Telecom, Telkom, Mobile-8, and us. We had previously been granted 5 MHz in uplink and downlink in the following frequencies: uplink frequency 1880-1885 MHz and downlink 1960-1965 MHz in Jakarta, Banten and West Java and uplink and downlink frequency 830-835 MHz and downlink 875-880 MHz in other parts of Indonesia. According to the new regulation, we have been granted 2x1.23 MHz in frequency (uplink 842.055-843.285 MHz and downlink 887.055-888.285 MHz) in Jakarta, Banten and West Java and (uplink 843.285-844.515 MHz and downlink 888.285-889.515) nationwide. The migration of the frequency was successfully implemented as of December 31, 2007.

Tower Sharing Obligation

On March 17, 2008, the MOCIT issued MOCIT Regulation No. 02/PER/M. KOMINFO/3/2008 on the Guidelines on Construction and Utilization of Sharing Telecommunication Towers (“Tower Decree”). Under the Tower Decree, the construction of telecommunications towers requires permits from the relevant governmental institution, while the local government determines the placement and location at which telecommunications towers can be constructed. In addition, telecommunications providers that own telecommunication towers and tower owners are obligated to allow other telecommunication operators to utilize their telecommunication towers (other than the tower used for its main network), without any discrimination.

Moreover, on March 30, 2009 the Minister of Home Affairs, the Minister of Public Works, the MOCIT and the Head of the Indonesia Investment Coordinating Board promulgated the Joint Regulation No. 19/PER/M. KOMINFO/03/2009 on the Guidelines on Construction and Utilization of Sharing Telecommunication

Table of Contents

Towers. (the “Joint Regulation”) requires a tower construction permit for every tower built and used for telecommunications services demonstrating compliance with certain technical specifications. However, through the enactment of this Joint Regulation, the Tower Decree prevails as long as any provision contemplated therein is not contrary with the provisions regulated under the Joint Regulation.

Other than the Joint Regulation and the Tower Decree, several regional authorities have implemented regulations limiting the number and location of telecommunication towers and require operators to share in the utilization of telecommunications towers.

On September 9, 2009, parliament passed Act No. 28 Year 2009 regarding local and regional taxes which took effect on January 1, 2010 and which imposes a new kind of tax that may add regulatory costs to the operation of our towers. The new tax is limited to a maximum of 2% of the tax object’s selling value, which refers to the resale value of the tower determined by the relevant tax authorities. The implementation of the new tax will be largely influenced by regional government policies.

Item 5: OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto as of December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010. The audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. Certain amounts (including percentage amounts) have been rounded for convenience. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and our future financial performance. These statements involve risks and uncertainties, and our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of particular factors such as those set forth under “Forward-Looking Statements” and Item 3. “Key Information—Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this report.

A. OPERATING RESULTS

We are a fully integrated Indonesian telecommunications network and service provider and provide a full complement of national and international telecommunications services in Indonesia. As of December 31, 2010, we were the second-largest cellular operator in Indonesia in terms of number of cellular subscribers. We provide MIDI services to Indonesian and regional corporate and retail customers as well as international long-distance services in Indonesia.

Factors Affecting our Results of Operations and Financial Condition

Our results of operations and financial condition have been affected and will continue to be affected by a number of factors, including the following:

Cellular Subscriber Base and Usage Patterns

Our number of cellular subscribers and their usage of our cellular services directly affects our cellular operating revenues as well as our operating expenses, including interconnection expenses and depreciation and amortization expenses. In order to meet increasing demand for our services, we may be required to expand our cellular network coverage and capacity, which requires additional capital expenditures. Increases in our capital expenditures affects our cash flows, interest expense and depreciation expense.

We are the second-largest cellular provider in Indonesia, as measured by the number of cellular subscribers, with 44.3 million subscribers (including wireless broadband subscribers) as of December 31, 2010.

In 2009, we implemented a strategy to minimize lower-value “calling card” type subscribers, whom we believed were short-term subscribers and were not likely to recharge their SIM cards. Pursuant to this strategy, we identified the prepaid subscribers who did not reload their starter packs after we significantly reduced the

 

64


Table of Contents

benefits (such as activation bonuses and on-net preloads) available to such subscribers. We believe this strategy contributed significantly to the decline in our subscriber base during 2009. Due to such strategy, during the first nine months of 2009, we removed 6.8 million such subscribers. Our total subscribers declined by approximately 9.7% from December 31, 2008, but our cellular operating revenues declined by only 0.9% for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. Starting in the third quarter of 2009, we began seeing signs of stabilization in our subscriber base and we added 4.4 million subscribers, net of subscriber disconnections, in the fourth quarter of 2009. Our total subscribers increased by approximately 34.3%, from 33.0 million in 2009 to 44.3 million in 2010.

Competition

We face intense competition in all of our business segments. Among other things, such competition affects the tariffs we are able to charge for our services, demand for and usage of our services and our operating margins and results of operations.

The cellular services business in Indonesia has become increasingly competitive, as demonstrated by the aggressive subscriber acquisition programs of Indonesian cellular operators in recent years. Competition in the cellular communications industry has historically been based on network coverage, technical quality, price, the availability of data services and special features, and the quality and responsiveness of customer service. Commencing in 2007, competition became more focused on pricing as many operators, including ourselves, began to offer significant promotional discounts to attract subscribers, which we believe to have resulted in high customer churn rates. The high Indonesian customer churn rate can be attributed to the high price sensitivity of subscribers, especially prepaid users and the low switching costs for postpaid subscribers, due to limited contractual lock-ins. Beginning in late 2009, we believe that the market focus on pricing as the key determinant in customers’ product selection has declined and that subscribers are again focused on the historical drivers of network coverage, technical quality, price, the availability of data services and special features.

Based on our internal estimates, the three major providers of wireless services in Indonesia, Telkomsel, us and XL, accounted for almost 77% of the wireless subscriber base in Indonesia in 2010. We compete with Telkomsel and XL primarily on the basis of network coverage, quality or service and price. We believe that the size of our subscriber base provides us with a significant competitive advantage over the smaller cellular providers, since we have a larger base of “on net” subscribers and we are able to provide more attractive pricing for on net calls, since we do not pay any interconnection charges to third parties.

Competition in our MIDI services has also continued to increase. During the last few years, competition among data communications service providers has intensified principally due to the issuance of new licenses after the deregulation of the Indonesian telecommunications industry. In addition, our satellite operations, which primarily consist of leasing transponders to broadcasters and telecommunications operators of VSAT, cellular and IDD services and ISPs, face competition from foreign and domestic service providers serving the same customer base.

We are no longer the only authorized provider of traditional IDD (i.e., non-VoIP) call services in Indonesia. The Government may issue more licenses for IDD services to other telecommunications operators, which will increase competition in our fixed telecommunications operations.

We expect competition in our three business segments to continue to be intense. Competition has had, and is expected to have, an impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

Tariff and Pricing Levels

Under existing regulations, the MOCIT establishes a tariff formula that determines the amounts that operators may charge for cellular and fixed telecommunications services. However, the MOCIT allows cellular

 

65


Table of Contents

and fixed telecommunications operators, including us, to offer promotional packages that offer prices lower than the ceiling tariff determined in accordance with the tariff formula. We currently price our cellular services under a variety of ongoing promotional programs intended to attract new subscribers, stimulate demand and improve our competitive position. Any changes in our pricing structure, either as a result of Government tariff policies or in response to competition, could affect our revenues, operating results and financial condition.

The Indonesian Economy

We believe that the growth in the Indonesian telecommunications industry has been driven in part by recent growth of the Indonesian economy, and that demand for such services should continue, as the Indonesian economy continues to develop and modernize. Our performance and the quality and growth of our customer base and service offerings are necessarily dependent on the health of the overall Indonesian economy.

Capital Expenditures

The delivery of telecommunications services is capital intensive. In order to be competitive, we must continually expand, modernize and update our technology, which involves substantial capital investment. In order to address the demand associated with the substantial increase in subscribers and in network usage during 2008 through 2010, we had to substantially increase our capital expenditures, in particular to expand the capacity of our network. For the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, our actual consolidated capital expenditures totaled Rp12,341.9 billion, Rp11,584.5 billion and Rp5,515.0 billion (US$613.4 million), respectively. During 2011, we intend to allocate US$794.5 million for new capital expenditures, which, taken together with estimated actual capital expenditures expended for 2011 for capital expenditure commitments in prior periods, will result in approximately US$1,053.8 million total actual capital expenditures for 2011, which we intend to use for the development of fixed assets in our cellular, fixed data and fixed telecommunications business lines. See “—Capital Expenditures.”

Historically, we have funded our capital expenditures through internal resources and cash flow from operations, as well as debt financings through bank loans and the capital markets. We expect to continue to finance our capital expenditures through such sources. We face liquidity risk if certain events occur, including but not limited to, slower than expected growth in the Indonesian economy, downgrading of our debt ratings or deterioration of our financial performance or financial ratios. If we cannot raise the amounts needed to support our planned capital expenditures for 2011, we may be unable to improve or expand our cellular telecommunications infrastructure or update our other technology to the extent necessary to remain competitive in the Indonesian telecommunications market, which would affect our financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

In addition, unexpected changes in technology, demand for increased network capacity from our subscribers and responses to the operations and product innovation of our competitors may require us to increase our capital expenditures, which could affect our revenues, operating results and financial condition.

Foreign Exchange Volatility

The Indonesian rupiah has appreciated considerably over the last decade from its low point of approximately Rp17,000 per U.S. dollar during the Asian financial crisis. During the period between January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2010, the Indonesian rupiah/U.S. dollar exchange rate ranged from a low of Rp12,400 per U.S. dollar to a high of Rp8,888 per U.S. dollar, and, during the year 2010, the Indonesian rupiah/U.S. dollar exchange rate ranged from a low of Rp9,413 per U.S. dollar to a high of Rp8,888 per U.S. dollar. The prevailing Bank Indonesia exchange rate was Rp8,991per U.S. dollar on December 31, 2010. While a substantial portion of our operating revenues is denominated in Indonesian rupiah, a portion of our operating revenues is U.S. dollar-denominated. In addition, a substantial portion of our borrowings, capital expenditures and operating expenses, including interest payments on our Guaranteed Notes due 2020 and ING/DBS Syndicated Loan Facility, are

 

66


Table of Contents

denominated in currencies other than Indonesian rupiah, principally the U.S. dollar. As of December 31, 2010, 43.4% of our borrowings were denominated in Indonesian rupiah, with the balance in U.S. dollars. A depreciation in the value of the Indonesian rupiah against the U.S. dollar affects our financial condition and results of operations because, among other things, the Indonesia rupiah value of expenses payable in U.S. dollars will increase by the same factor, thereby requiring us to convert more Indonesian rupiah to pay our U.S. dollar obligations. Conversely, an appreciation in the value of the Indonesian rupiah against the U.S. dollar affects our financial condition and results of operations because, among other things, it causes a decrease in revenue from foreign carriers for inbound international calls, roaming by foreign carriers’ subscribers in Indonesia and operating revenues from our MIDI services and satellite operations. For the year ended December 31, 2008, we recorded a loss on foreign exchange-net of Rp885.7 billion; for the year ended December 31, 2009, we recorded a gain on foreign exchange-net of Rp1,656.4 billion; and for the year ended December 31, 2010, we recorded a gain on foreign exchange-net of Rp492.4 billion.

In addition, certain of our monetary assets and liabilities are subject to foreign currency exposure. These monetary assets primarily consist of cash, cash equivalents and accounts receivable from foreign telecommunications carriers, as well as our foreign currency-denominated accounts receivable. Our monetary liabilities subject to foreign currency exposure consist of procurements payable, loans payable and bonds payable which were incurred for capital expenditure-related liabilities. The level of our net monetary assets is influenced by the extent to which incoming calls exceed outgoing calls in our IDD business and our foreign currency denominated source of revenues. In an effort to manage our foreign currency exposure and lower our overall funding costs, we entered into several foreign currency swap contracts. We cannot assure you that we will be able to manage our exchange rate risk successfully in the future or that we will not continue to be adversely affected by our exposure to exchange rate risk. Our exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations, particularly as against the U.S. dollar, may increase if we incur additional U.S. dollar-denominated debt to finance our capital expenditure plans.

In February and March 2009, we obtained consents to amendments to certain of our debt instruments and agreements in order to provide additional flexibility in our debt to equity, debt to EBITDA and EBITDA to interest payment ratio maintenance covenants. While we believe that such amendments will provide us with sufficient cushion in the event of volatility in the Indonesian rupiah / U.S. dollar exchange rates, we cannot assure you that further and more intense volatility than that experienced in the past 12 months will not occur, which could cause us to breach our financial covenants. See “—Principal Indebtedness.”

The principal drivers of our operating revenues for all of our services are our subscriber base, usage levels and the rates for services. Usage levels for our services are affected by several factors, including continued growth in demand for telecommunications services in Indonesia, the continued development of the Indonesian economy, and competition.

Cellular Services. We derive our cellular services operating revenues from charges for cellular usage, value-added features, monthly subscriptions, sales of wireless broadband modems and cellular handsets, and connection fees, as well as interconnection charges from other telecommunications providers and tower leasing fees. In the fourth quarter of 2008, we began recording sales of wireless broadband modems and usage of wireless broadband data communications as cellular services operating revenues. Such revenue was previously recorded under MIDI services operating revenues.

The following table sets forth the components of our cellular services operating revenues for the periods indicated:

A substantial proportion of our cellular subscribers, approximately 97.5% as of December 31, 2010, are prepaid subscribers. We offer a variety of value-added services to our prepaid subscribers, which have increased cellular services operating revenues from value-added services, particularly SMS and value-added SMS, which allows subscribers to access a variety of information, such as politics, sports and business news. Revenues from value-added services (including SMS) represented 35.0%, 41.9% and 44.4% of our cellular services operating revenues for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively. We expect the revenues derived from SMS and other value-added services to continue to increase, which we believe will be primarily driven by our wireless broadband services, the popularity of social networking sites and the development of other popular online content.

We recognize cellular revenues as follows:

 

   

cellular revenues arising from airtime and roaming calls are recognized based on the duration of successful calls made through our cellular network;

 

   

for post-paid subscribers, monthly service fees are recognized as the service is rendered;

 

   

for prepaid subscribers, the activation component of starter package sales is deferred and recognized as revenue over the expected average period of the customer relationship. Sales of initial/reload vouchers are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue upon usage of the airtime or upon expiration of the airtime;

sales of wireless broadband modems and cellular handsets are recognized upon delivery to the customers;

 

   

revenues from wireless broadband data communications are recognized based on the duration of usage or fixed monthly charges depending on the arrangement with the customers;

 

   

cellular revenues are presented on a net basis, after compensation to value added service providers;

 

   

revenues from network interconnection with other domestic and international telecommunications carriers are recognized monthly on the basis of the actual recorded traffic for the month.

MIDI Services. Our MIDI services operating revenues consist primarily of revenues from (i) Internet services provided by us, Indosat Mega Media (“IM2”) and PT Aplikanusa Lintasarta (“Lintasarta”), (ii) IP VPN services, high-speed leased lines and frame relay services provided by us and Lintasarta, (iii) digital data network services provided by Lintasarta, (iv) satellite services, and (v) World link and Direct link.

We deferred installation service revenues for Internet services, frame net, World link and Direct line services, upon the completion of the installation or connection of equipment, and recognized as revenue over the expected customer relationship. We recognize revenues from monthly service fees and other MIDI services as the services are rendered. Revenues from usage charges for Internet services are recognized monthly based on the duration of Internet usage or based on the fixed amount of charges depending on the arrangement with the customers. We record satellite revenues on a straight-line basis over the lease period for the transponder. Monthly rent for satellite transponder capacity is based primarily on leased capacity.

A substantial portion of our MIDI services operating revenues is denominated in U.S. dollars and is thus affected by fluctuations in the Indonesian rupiah/U.S. dollar exchange rate. Our MIDI services operating revenues have also been affected recently by a number of other factors, including competition from domestic and international providers, declining tariffs and a migration from legacy services to IP-based services. We expect such trends to continue but believe that the effects on our operating revenues will be offset by increased volume of services leased by our corporate customers and increased demand for our customized services, as well as the operation of our new Palapa-D satellite.

Fixed Telecommunications Services. Fixed telecommunications services include international long-distance, fixed wireless access services, and fixed line services. International long-distance services, which are comprised of our “001” and “008” IDD services, “Flatcall 01016” as well as operator-assisted and value-added services, represented 76.8% of our operating revenues from fixed telecommunications services for the year ended December 31, 2010, and fixed wireless access and fixed line services represented the balance.

International Long-distance Services. Our international long-distance services operating revenues have two primary sources, incoming call revenues and outgoing call revenues. We have negotiated volume commitments and accounting rates with foreign telecommunications operators or have implemented a market termination rate-based pricing system, and receive net settlement payments from such carriers. Net settlement payments and accounting rates are generally denominated and paid in currencies other than the Indonesian rupiah, principally the U.S. dollar; accordingly, incoming call revenues are affected by fluctuations in exchange rates between the Indonesian rupiah and other currencies.

Fixed Wireless Access Services. As of December 31, 2010, we had 550,130 fixed wireless access subscribers in 82 cities in Indonesia. By the end of 2010, we expanded our fixed wireless access services to several additional cities in order to create capacity for approximately four million fixed wireless access subscribers. As a result, we expect fixed wireless services to become a more important source of fixed telecommunications services operating revenues in future periods.

Fixed wireless access revenues arising from usage charges are recognized based on the duration of successful calls made through our fixed network. For postpaid subscribers, monthly service fees are recognized

as the service is provided. For prepaid subscribers, the activation component of starter package sales is deferred and recognized as revenue over the estimated life of the customer relationship Sale of initial or reload vouchers is recorded as unearned income and recognized as income upon usage of the airtime or upon expiration of the airtime.

Fixed Line Services. We currently have local and domestic long-distance coverage of 82 major cities in Indonesia. Revenues from fixed line installations are recognized as revenue over the estimated life of customer relationship. Revenues from usage charges are recognized based on the duration of successful calls made through our fixed network.

Operating Expenses

Our principal operating expenses include cost of services, depreciation and amortization, personnel expenses, marketing expenses and general and administration expenses.

Certain of our expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars or currencies other than the Indonesian rupiah. Such expenses may include those for international interconnection settlements, certain maintenance agreements and consultancy fees.

Costs of Services. Costs of services expenses include interconnection expenses, radio frequency fee, maintenance, utilities, rents, leased circuits, the cost of SIM cards and pulse reload vouchers, USO, Blackberry access fee, installation and concession fee.

Depreciation and Amortization. We use the straight-line depreciation method for our property, facilities and equipment over their estimated useful lives. A significant portion of our depreciation expenses relate to our cellular services assets. As we continue to expand and enhance the coverage, capacity and quality of our networks, we expect expenses for depreciation to increase.

Marketing. Marketing expenses primarily include exhibition, promotion and advertisement expenses associated with our marketing programs.

Personnel. Personnel expense primarily include salaries, incentives and other employee benefits, bonuses, employee income tax, post-retirement healthcare benefits, medical expense and outsourcing.

General and Administration. General and administration expenses primarily include rent, professional fees, utilities, provision for impairment of receivables, transportation and office.

Other Income (Expense)

The major components of our other income (expense) are interest income, gain (loss) on foreign exchange—net, financing cost, gain (loss) on change in the fair value of derivatives—net. Foreign exchange gain or loss has typically been affected by the amount of non-Indonesian rupiah-denominated debt outstanding, accounts receivable from overseas international carriers and non-Indonesian rupiah-denominated cash and cash equivalents. We currently hedge a portion of our ING/DBS Syndicated Loan Facility. See “Item 11: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk.” Financing cost includes interest on loans, bank charges and loss on redemption of our Guaranteed Notes due 2010 and 2012.

Taxation

Current tax expense is provided based on the estimated taxable income for the period. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between the financial and the tax bases of assets and liabilities at each reporting date. Future tax benefits, such as the carryover of unused tax losses, are also

Table of Contents

recognized to the extent that realization of such benefits is probable. The tax effects for the period are allocated to current operations, except for the tax effects from transactions which are directly charged or credited to stockholders’ equity.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Changes in the carrying amount of deferred tax assets and liabilities due to a change in tax rates are credited or charged to current period operations, except to the extent that they relate to items previously charged or credited to stockholders’ equity.

For each of the consolidated entities, the tax effects of temporary differences and tax loss carryover, which individually are either assets or liabilities, are shown at the applicable net amounts.

Net Income

Our net income for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 is not necessarily commensurate to our operating revenues and operating income during such periods, in part due to large fluctuations in several non-operating items, which have impacted our net income over such periods. Such non-operating items include, among others, fluctuations in income tax deferred, gain or loss on foreign exchange net, and gain or loss on change in the fair value of derivatives net.

Operating Revenues

Year ended December 31, 2009 to Year Ended December 31, 2010

Total operating revenues increased from Rp18,846.9 billion in 2009 to Rp19,648.4 billion (US$2,185.3 million), or 4.3%, primarily as a result of an increase in our cellular services revenue. During 2010, operating revenues from cellular services increased by Rp1,535.8 billion, or 10.7%, from Rp14,331.3 billion in 2009. Operating revenues from MIDI services decreased by Rp224.5 billion, or 8.3%, from Rp2,712.6 billion in 2009. Operating revenues from fixed telecommunications services in 2010 decreased by Rp509.8 billion, or 28.3 %, from Rp1,803.0 billion in 2009.

Cellular Services. In 2010, we recorded cellular services operating revenues of Rp15,867.1 billion (US$1,764.8 million), an increase of 10.7% from Rp14,331.3 billion in 2009. We believe that the increase was primarily a result of an increase in the number of subscribers. Operating revenues from cellular services represented 80.8 % of our total operating revenues for 2010, which is higher than the percentage for 2009.

Usage charges increased by Rp858.3 billion, or 12.1%, from 2009, and represented 50.1% of our total cellular services operating revenues. This increase in usage was primarily due to an increase in the minutes of usage by our subscribers.

In 2010, cellular services operating revenues generated by value-added services increased by Rp1,040.2 billion, or 17.3%, compared to 2009. The contribution of value-added services to cellular services operating revenues increased by 2.6% from 41.8% in 2009 to 44.4% in 2010. The increase in operating revenues from value-added services, as well as the increase in the contribution of revenues from value-added services to our overall cellular operating revenues, was driven by an increase in usage of SMS and wireless broadband.

MIDI Services. In 2010, operating revenues from MIDI services decreased by Rp224.5 billion from Rp2,712.6 billion in 2009 to Rp2,488.1 billion (US$276.7 million) in 2010. IP VPN operating revenues represent the largest component of MIDI services operating revenue. IP VPN operating revenues increased by Rp39.6 billion from Rp566.1 billion in 2009 to Rp605.7 billion in 2010. The reduction in MIDI services operating revenues, including those from Internet services, as well as international and domestic leased line services, was primarily due to increased competition and a decline in prices of our services.

Fixed Telecommunications Services. There was a decrease in fixed telecommunications services operating revenues from Rp1,803.0 billion in 2009 to Rp1,293.2 billion (US$143.8 million) in 2010. Operating revenues from international calls and fixed wireless access services represented 76.8% and 13.5%, respectively, of fixed telecommunications services operating revenues in 2010. The remaining 9.7% of fixed telecommunications services operating revenues in 2010 was generated by fixed line and other services. Revenues from international calls decreased from Rp1,422.2 billion in 2009 to Rp993.2 billion (US$110.5 million) in 2010 due to a decrease in outgoing IDD traffic from Indosat and non-Indosat subscribers. The total volume of international calls from our “001” and “008” gateways increased by 6.1 % from 2,060.5 million minutes in 2009 to 2,186.9 million minutes in 2010. Total incoming traffic increased by 10.6% from 1,558.5 million minutes in 2009 to 1,723.9 million minutes in 2010, primarily due to volume commitments from foreign telecommunications operators. Outgoing traffic decreased by 7.8 % from 502.0 million minutes in 2009 to 463.0 million minutes in 2010 due to the decrease in volume commitments from foreign telecommunications operations.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased by Rp505.3 billion, or 3.2%, from Rp15,621.4 billion in 2009 to Rp16,126.7 billion (US$ 1,793.6 million) in 2010, primarily due to increases in depreciation and amortization expenses and cost of services expenses. This increase was offset in part by decreases in personnel cost, marketing expense and administration and general expenses in the year.

Cost of services expenses increased by Rp25.5 billion, or 0.4%, from Rp7,087.9 billion in 2009 to Rp7,113.4 billion (US$791.2 million) in 2010, primarily as a result of increased Government levies on frequency fees, USO and concession fees. The increase can also be attributed to rental payments for additional BTSs, increases in interconnection cost and increase in maintenance relating to increase in our fixed assets.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by 10.6% from Rp5,571.6 billion in 2009 to Rp6,162.8 billion (US$685.4 million), primarily as a result of the continued growth of our fixed asset base, including our new Palapa-D satellite. The total cost of our property and equipment increased from Rp74,818.5 billion in 2009 to Rp78,101.2 billion (US$8,686.6 million) in 2010.

Personnel expense decreased by Rp40.4 billion, or 2.8%, from Rp1,451.6 billion in 2009 to Rp1,411.2 billion (US$157.0 million) in 2010, primarily due to a decrease in the post-employment benefits, of salary continuation before retirement (MPP) benefit and offsetted with the increase in the salaries and bonuses.

Marketing expenses decreased by Rp37.7 billion, or 4.6%, from Rp816.9 billion in 2009 to Rp779.2 billion (US$86.7 million) in 2010, primarily due to a decrease in advertising, promotion and exhibition expenses, in line with the targeted marketing strategy and efficiency program we have adopted.

General and administration expenses decreased by Rp33.4 billion, or 4.8%, from Rp693.4 billion in 2009 to Rp 660.0 billion (US$73.4 million) in 2010, primarily due to a decrease in provision for impairment of receivables, rental cost, professional fee and office supplies expenses, as we continued to implement our efficiency program, designed to minimize non operational costs.

Operating Income

As a result of the above factors, operating income increased by Rp296.2 billion, or 9.2%, from Rp3,225.5 billion in 2009 to Rp3,521.7 billion (US$ 391.7 million) in 2010.

Other Expenses-Net

Other expenses-net increased by Rp1,515.1 billion, from Rp 681.3 billion in 2009 to Rp2,196.4 billion (US$244.3 million) in 2010, primarily due to a lower gain on foreign exchange, driven by the smaller appreciation of the Indonesian rupiah against the U.S. dollar compared to the previous year. Gain on foreign exchange-net of Rp1,656.4 billion in 2009 decreased to Rp492.4 billion (US$54.8 million) in 2010. The exchange rate decreased from Rp9,400 : US$1 as of December 31, 2009 to Rp8,991 :US$1 as of December 31, 2010, compared to the decrease from Rp10,950 :US$1 as of December 31, 2008 to Rp9,400 :US$1 as of December 31, 2009.

Loss on change in fair value of derivatives-net decreased by Rp 38.1 billion from Rp486.9 billion in 2009 to Rp448.8 billion (US$49.9 million) in 2010 due to the appreciation of the Indonesian rupiah against the U.S. dollar.

We recorded an increase in interest income to Rp143.4 billion (US$15.9 million) in 2010, which represented an increase of Rp4.4 billion, or 3.2%, over 2009, due to our higher average cash balance. Others-net decreased by Rp5.0 billion, from Rp116.8 billion in 2009 to Rp111.8 billion (US$12.4 million) in 2010 primarily due to an increase in submarine cable restoration revenue and gain on sale of property and equipment.

Income Tax Expense-Net

We recorded income tax expense—net of Rp422.4 billion (US$47.0 million) in 2010 compared to Rp783.9 billion in 2009. The decrease in income tax expense-net was primarily due to the lower in income before tax related to lower gain on foreign exchange and higher financing cost.

Net Profit

Our net profit decreased by Rp857.4 billion, or 48.7%, from Rp1,760.3 billion in 2009 to Rp902.9 billion (US$100.4 million) due to the foregoing factors.

Year ended December 31, 2009 to Year Ended December 31, 2008

Total operating revenues decreased marginally from Rp19,216.0 billion in 2008 to Rp18,846.9 billion in 2009, or 1.9%, primarily as a result of a decrease in our cellular services revenue. During 2009, operating revenues from cellular services decreased by Rp129.5 billion, or 0.9%, from Rp14,460.8 billion in 2008 to Rp14,331.3 in 2009. Operating revenues from MIDI services decreased by Rp20.8 billion, or 0.8%, from Rp2,733.4 billion in 2008 to Rp2,712.6 in 2009. Operating revenues from fixed telecommunications services in 2009 decreased marginally by Rp218.8 billion, or 10.8%, from Rp2,021.8 billion in 2008 to Rp1,803.0 in 2009.

Cellular Services. In 2009, we recorded cellular services operating revenues of Rp14,331.3 billion, a decrease of 0.9% from Rp14,460.8 billion in 2008. We believe that the decrease was primarily a result of our value strategy, which started in 2009, to minimize lower-value “calling card” type subscribers. Removing “calling-card” type subscribers resulted in a decline of less than 1.6% in cellular operating revenues. In addition, we believe that the reduction of our cellular services operating revenues also resulted from the decline of our ARPU from Rp38,639 in 2008 to Rp37,664 in 2009. Operating revenues from cellular services represented 76% of our total operating revenues for 2009, which is slightly the same percentage 75.3% for 2008.

Usage charges decreased by Rp1,407.1 billion, or 16.6%, from 2008, and represented 49.4% of our total cellular services operating revenues. This decrease in usage was primarily due to the decrease in our subscriber base, which was partially offset by an increase in our revenues from value-added features.

In 2009, cellular services operating revenues generated by value-added services increased by Rp946.4 billion, or 18.7%, compared to 2008. The contribution of value-added services to cellular services operating revenues increased by 6.9% from 35.0% in 2008 to 41.9% in 2009. The increase in operating revenues from value-added services, as well as the increase in the contribution of revenues from value-added services to our overall cellular operating revenues, was driven by an increase in usage of our wireless broadband services.

MIDI Services. In 2009, operating revenues from MIDI services remained relatively constant, with Rp2,733.4 billion in 2008 and Rp2,712.6 billion in 2009. Internet operating revenues continued to represent the largest component of MIDI services operating revenue, although there was a decrease in Internet operating revenues of Rp26.5 billion in 2009. The reduction in operating revenues from Internet services, as well as international and domestic leased line services, was primarily due to increased competition and a decline in prices of our services.

Fixed Telecommunications Services. There was a decrease in fixed telecommunications services operating revenues from Rp2,021.8 billion in 2008 to Rp1,803.0 billion in 2009. Operating revenues from international calls and fixed wireless access services represented 78.9% and 13.9%, respectively, of fixed telecommunications services operating revenues in 2009. The remaining 7.2% of fixed telecommunications services operating revenues in 2009 was generated by fixed line and other services. Revenues from international calls decreased from Rp1,650.1 billion in 2008 to Rp1,422.2 billion in 2009 due to a decrease in outgoing IDD traffic from non-Indosat subscribers. The total volume of international calls from our “001” and “008” gateways increased by 0.2% from 2,056.4 million minutes in 2008 to 2,060.5 million minutes in 2009. Total incoming traffic decreased by 1.5%, with 1,582.4 million minutes in 2008 and 1,558.5 million minutes in 2009, primarily due to a decrease in volume commitments from foreign telecommunications operators. Outgoing traffic increased by 5.9% from 474.0 million minutes in 2008 to 502.0 million minutes in 2009 primarily due to increased user traffic from our subscribers, such as those using the “Flatcall 01016” service.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased by Rp1,133.6 billion, or 7.8%, from Rp14,487.8 billion in 2008 to Rp15,621.4 billion in 2009, primarily due to increases in depreciation and amortization expenses and cost of services expenses, which are our two biggest operating expenses. This increase was offset in part by decreases in personnel expense, marketing expenses and general and administration expenses in the year.

Cost of services expenses increased by Rp460.1 billion, or 6.9%, from Rp6,627.8 billion in 2008 to Rp7,087.9 billion in 2009, primarily as a result of increased Government levies on frequency fees, our annual 3G license fee payment, including the fees for added spectrum in 2009, USOs and concession fees. The increase can also be attributed to rental payments for additional BTSs, increases in the cost of modems and handsets driven by higher BlackBerry sales, and increases in expenses relating to our leased line, Internet and transponder leasing operations.

Table of Contents

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by 22.0% from Rp4,565.4 billion in 2008 to Rp5,571.6 billion in 2009, primarily as a result of the continued growth of our fixed asset base, including our new Palapa-D satellite, as well as the accelerated depreciation of unutilized elements of our cellular network. Our property and equipment acquisition cost increased from Rp63,478.4 billion in 2008 to Rp74,818.5 billion in 2009.

Personnel expenses decreased by Rp187.4 billion, or 11.4%, from Rp1,639.0 billion in 2008 to Rp1,451.6 billion in 2009, primarily due to a decrease in the effective personnel income tax rate, as well as decreases in bonuses, incentives and other employee benefits, outsourcing expenses and post-retirement healthcare benefits.

Marketing expenses decreased by Rp101.2 billion, or 11.0%, from Rp918.1 billion in 2008 to Rp816.9 billion in 2009, primarily due to a decrease in advertising, promotion and exhibition expenses, in line with the targeted marketing strategy and efficiency program we have adopted.

General and administration expenses decreased by Rp44.0 billion, or 6.0%, from Rp737.4 billion in 2008 to Rp693.4 billion in 2009 primarily due to decreases in transportation costs, training, education and research costs, professional fees, office services expenses and catering costs, as we continued to implement our efficiency program, designed to minimize non-operational costs.

Operating Income

As a result of the above factors, operating income decreased by Rp1,502.7 billion, or 31.8%, from Rp4,728.2 billion in 2008 to Rp3,225.5 billion in 2009.

Other Expenses-Net

Other expenses-net decreased by Rp1,491.6 billion, from Rp2,172.9 billion in 2008 to Rp681.3 billion in 2009, primarily due to increase in gains on foreign exchange, driven by the appreciation of the Indonesian rupiah against the U.S. dollar. From a loss on foreign exchange-net Rp885.7 billion in 2008, we recorded a gain on foreign exchange-net of Rp1,656.4 billion in 2009.

We recorded a gain on change in fair value of derivative-net of Rp136.6 billion in 2008 and a loss on change in fair value of derivatives-net of Rp486.9 billion in 2009 due to the appreciation of the Indonesian rupiah against the U.S. dollar.

We recorded a decrease in interest income to Rp139.0 billion in 2009, which represented a decrease of Rp321.1 billion, or 69.8%, over 2008, due to the lower average cash balance we maintained.

Others-net increased by Rp91.2 billion, from Rp25.6 billion in 2008 to Rp116.8 billion in 2009 primarily due to an increase in damage losses caused by more natural calamities, such as earthquakes, that occurred in Indonesia in 2009 compared to 2008 in which the insurance company decreased the claimable amount for the insured damaged assets as more restrictions were imposed on the amended agreements we filed, several assessment letters on tax under payment (SKPKB) from Directorate General Tax on June 8, 2009 for Satelindo’s corporate income tax and income tax article 4(2), 21 and 23 for fiscal years 2002 and 2003 and Satelindo’s tax audit for VAT fiscal year 2002 and 2003.

Income Tax Expense-Net

We recorded income tax expense—net of Rp485.3 billion in 2008 compared to Rp783.9 billion in 2009. The increase in income tax expense-net was primarily due to the adjustment of income tax benefit deferred due to changes in the income tax rate in 2008.

Net Profit

Our net profit decreased by Rp309.7 billion, or 15.0%, from Rp2,070.0 billion in 2008 to Rp1,760.3 billion in 2009 due to the foregoing factors.

B. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our liquidity requirements have historically arisen from the need to finance investments and capital expenditures related to the expansion of our telecommunications business. Our telecommunications business requires substantial capital to construct and expand mobile and data network infrastructure and to fund operations, particularly during the network development stage. Although we have substantial existing network infrastructure, we expect to incur additional capital expenditures in order to focus cellular network development in areas that we anticipate to be high-growth areas, as well as to enhance the quality and coverage of our existing network.

We believe our current cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from operations and available sources of financing will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs, including our cash needs for working capital and planned capital expenditures, for the foreseeable future. Nonetheless, if global or Indonesian economic conditions worsen, competition or product substitution accelerates beyond current expectations or the value of the Indonesian rupiah depreciates significantly against the U.S. dollar, our net cash flow from operating activities may decrease and the amount of required capital expenditures in Indonesian rupiah terms may increase, any of which may negatively impact our liquidity.

Cash Flows

The following table sets forth certain information regarding our historical cash flows:

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to Rp6,513.3 billion, Rp4,051.2 billion and Rp6,839.0 billion (US$760.6 million) for 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively. In 2010, net cash provided by operating activities increased primarily due to receipt from customers.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities amounted to Rp10,286.9 billion, Rp10,670.7 billion and Rp5,970.7 billion (US$664.1 million) for 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities for 2008, 2009 and 2010 has been driven primarily by acquisitions of property and equipment, totaling Rp10,307.9 billion, Rp10,684.7 billion and Rp6,495.1 billion (US$722.4 million), respectively, as we expanded our network coverage and capacity during those years. The property and equipment purchased consisted primarily of exchange and network assets, subscribers’ apparatus and other equipment and buildings and building and leasehold improvements.

Net Cash Provided by (Used In) Financing Activities

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities amounted to Rp1,458.5 billion, Rp3,724.7 billion and Rp1,629.7 billion (US$181.2 million) in 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively. Net cash used in financing activities in 2010 related primarily to repayment of long-term debts and bonds payable which was partially offset by proceeds from bonds payable.

     56.4         2,840.7         1,098.1         122.1   

The decrease in loans payable (net of unamortized issuance cost, unamortized consent fee and current maturities) to Rp7,666.8 billion (US$852.7 million) as of December 31, 2010, from Rp12,715.5 billion as of December 31, 2009 was primarily due to the early repayment of our facilities with BCA Bank, Mandiri and Bank DBS Indonesia. The increase in bonds payable (net of unamortized issuance cost, unamortized discount, unamortized consent fees and current maturities) from Rp8,472.2 billion as of December 31, 2009 to Rp12,114.1 billion (US$1,347.4 million) as of December 31, 2010 was primarily due to the issuance of our Guaranteed Notes due 2020.

Certain of our debt instruments (other than the Guaranteed Notes due 2020) obligate us to maintain a specified maximum ratio of debt (or loans) to equity, or the debt to equity ratio, which, prior to February 2009, was 1.75 to 1.0, or 175%. As a result of amendments we requested to such instruments and agreements, and agreed with our lenders and the trustee for bondholders in February and March 2009, the debt to equity ratio is now 2.50 to 1.0, or 250%. We also requested and were granted consents to amendments to certain defined terms in the debt to equity ratios so that the definition is uniform across all such instruments and agreements. The Guaranteed Notes due 2020 do not contain a debt to equity ratio requirement.

Our debt increased 30.5% from Rp16,692.2 billion as of December 31, 2007 to Rp21,756.7 billion as of December 31, 2008 primarily due to (i) an increase in the issuance of new debt in 2008 to support the increase in capital expenditures in 2008 compared to 2007 and (ii) the accounting impact of the depreciation of the Indonesian rupiah against the U.S. dollar. The U.S. dollar to Indonesian rupiah exchange rate fell from US$1.00 to Rp10,950 as of December 31, 2008 to US$1.00 to Rp9,400 as of December 31, 2009. Because a portion of our liabilities are U.S. dollar-denominated, we were exposed to fluctuations in the Indonesian rupiah. Depreciation in the Indonesian rupiah and an increase in foreign exchange volatility exposed us to short-term accounting adjustments which impacted our financial ratios.

To help address the impact of such currency fluctuations going forward, in 2009, we amended the debt to equity ratio covenants in all of our applicable debt instruments and agreements to increase the ratio from 1.75 to 2.50, in order to provide us with additional “cushion” in the event of adverse foreign exchange movements. We also amended the debt to equity ratio covenants in order to better reflect the effect of our hedging policies on this ratio, and amended the definitions of “Debt” and “Equity” in such debt instruments and agreements in order to provide additional headroom under these line items. The Guaranteed Notes due 2020 do not contain a debt to equity requirement.

As part of the amendments approved in 2009, we obtained consents to the following amendments to defined terms in certain of our applicable debt instruments and agreements: (i) excluding non-cash items, including foreign exchange gains or losses, from the definition of “EBITDA”; (ii) excluding interest-bearing procurement payables from the definition of “Debt” unless their maturities are in excess of six months from the invoice date; and (iii) including in “Equity” (a) minority interests, for entities the debt of which is 100% consolidated by us, and (b) subordinated shareholder loans.

While we believe that the foregoing amendments will provide us with sufficient cushion in the event of volatility in the U.S. dollar—Indonesian rupiah exchange rates, we cannot assure you that further and more intense volatility than that experienced in the past 12 months will not occur, which could cause us to breach our financial covenants.

Set forth below are calculations of our historical financial ratios that are contained in our financial covenants under Indonesian GAAP as required by our debt agreements. The historical financial ratios as of December 31, 2008 are calculated based on the amended definitions of “Debt” (also defined as “Loan” in certain translations of our debt instruments and agreements), “Equity” and “EBITDA” in our various debt instruments and agreements as if such defined terms applied as of such dates.

(1) 

We define total debt as total loans payable and bonds payable (current and non-current maturities), unamortized issuance cost (loans, bonds and notes), unamortized consent solicitation fees (loans and bonds) and unamortized discounts (loans and notes).

  

According to the amended definition, “Debt” means, with respect to any person on any date of determination (without duplication):

  (a)

the principal of and premium (if any) in respect of debt of such person for money borrowed and debt evidenced by notes, debentures, bonds or other similar instruments for the payment of which such person is responsible or liable which in any such case, bears interest or on which interest accrues; and

  (b)

all obligations of such person in relation to procurement payables constituting accounts payable to such person’s suppliers which bear interest or on which interest accrues and payment for such accounts payable is due more than six (6) months after the relevant invoice date, but, in relation to any member of the Company or its subsidiaries (together the “Group”), or the Group, deducting all indebtedness advanced by any (direct or indirect) shareholder of the Company to such member of the Group which is subordinated to any indebtedness falling under paragraph (a) or (b) above.

 

79


Table of Contents
(2) 

We define equity as total stockholders’ equity and minority interest. According to the amended definition, “Equity” means total assets less total liabilities, where total liabilities exclude all indebtedness advanced by any (direct or indirect) shareholder of the Company to any member of the Group which is subordinated to any Debt.

(3) 

We have defined EBITDA as earnings before interest, amortization of goodwill, non-operating income and expense, income tax expense, depreciation and minority interest in net income of subsidiaries as reported in the consolidated financial statements prepared under Indonesian GAAP. EBITDA is not a standard measure under either Indonesian GAAP or IFRS. As the telecommunications business is capital intensive, capital expenditure requirements and levels of debt and interest expenses may have a significant impact on the net income of companies with similar operating results. Therefore, we believe that EBITDA provides a useful reflection of our operating results and that net income is the most directly comparable financial measure to EBITDA as an indicator of our operating performance. You should not consider our definition of EBITDA in isolation or as an indicator of operating performance, liquidity or any other standard measure under either Indonesian GAAP or IFRS, or other companies’ definition of EBITDA. Our definition of EBITDA does not account for taxes and other non-operating cash expenses. Funds depicted by this measure may not be available for debt service due to covenant restrictions, capital expenditure requirements and other commitments. According to the amended definition, “EBITDA” means, for any period, an amount equal to the sum of operating income (calculated before finance costs, taxes, non-operating income or expenses and extraordinary and exceptional items) plus depreciation and amortization and, in the case of any testing or calculation of the ratio of aggregate Debt of the Group, to EBITDA of the Group after giving pro forma effect to any material acquisition or disposal of assets or businesses as if such acquisition or disposal had occurred on the first day of such period. The following table reconciles our net income under Indonesian GAAP to our definition of EBITDA for the periods indicated:

Goldman Sachs International Loan Facility

On May 30, 2007, we received from Goldman Sachs International (“GSI”) a loan amounting to Rp434.3 billion, which was received in U.S. dollars amounting to US$50.0 million, for the purchase of telecommunications equipment.

Capital Resources

We believe that our cash flow from operations and drawings from our existing credit facilities will provide sufficient financing for our anticipated capital expenditures, anticipated debt repayment and interest obligations and other operating needs under our current business plan. However, we face liquidity risks if certain events occur, including but not limited to, slower than expected growth in the Indonesian economy, downgrading of our debt ratings or deterioration of our financial performance or financial ratios.

In the event we cannot finance our planned capital expenditures with internally generated cash flows, we may seek other external sources of funding. Our ability to raise additional debt financing will be subject to certain covenants in our existing indebtedness. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain suitable financing arrangements (including vendor or other third-party financing) for our planned capital expenditures. In the event that we are unable to find such additional external funding sources, we may elect to reduce our planned capital expenditures. Such reduction in capital expenditures may have an adverse effect on our operating performance and our financial condition.

Capital Expenditures

Historical Capital Expenditures

From January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2010, we had capital expenditures totaling Rp29,441.4 billion (US$2,972.9 million). With these funds, we primarily purchased equipment and services from foreign suppliers in connection with the development of our cellular network. We had capital expenditures of Rp5,515.0 billion (US$613.4 million) during the year ended December 31, 2010, with such investment predominantly focused on expansion of our cellular coverage through the addition of 1,755 base transceiver stations.

Capital Expenditures for 2011

Under our capital expenditure program for our various businesses, our planned capital expenditures are less than the amounts spent in each of 2008 and 2009 but slightly more than 2010, as instead focus on optimizing and enhancing the capacity and quality of our existing cellular, fixed and MIDI network and telecommunications infrastructure. For the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, our actual consolidated capital expenditures totaled Rp12,341.9 billion, Rp11,584.5 billion and Rp5,515.0 billion (US$613.4 million), respectively. During 2011, we intend to allocate US$794.5 million for new capital expenditures, which, taken together with estimated actual capital expenditures expended for 2011 for capital expenditure commitments in prior periods, will result in approximately US$1,053.8 million total actual capital expenditures for 2011. We intend to allocate our capital expenditures for 2011 as follows:

 

   

Cellular network investment: We plan to apply a large majority of our capital expenditures to finance the continued enhancement and expansion of the capacity and coverage of our cellular network.

 

   

Other investment: We plan to invest the remainder of our capital expenditures budget in non-cellular network areas, including the fixed-access network, as we increase network access for our corporate customers and continue to provide them with voice, long-distance and MIDI services and make improvements to our backbone.

The foregoing amounts represent our budgeted investment plans; actual expenditures on a cash basis will vary depending on several factors, including the method of financing and timing of completion of delivery of equipment and services purchased. Historically, expenditure on a cash basis trails budgeted expense by approximately at least 20.0% of our budget.

The foregoing capital expenditure plan is based on our understanding of current market and regulatory conditions and we may amend our plans in response to changes in such conditions. In particular, depending on the regulatory framework for other wireless services, we may decide to increase our investment in fixed wireless

access networks and services, either through increased capital expenditures, reallocation of our existing planned expenditures, through revenue-sharing schemes or a combination of the foregoing. Revenue-sharing schemes would include partnerships with private investors under which such investors would finance construction of a project in exchange for revenues from the project, similar to a build-operate-transfer structure.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. References to IFRS include the application of International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards (“IAS”), Interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) and its predecessor the former Standards Interpretation Committee (“SIC”).

The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. We continually evaluate such estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or actual conditions. We believe that, of our significant accounting policies, the following may involve a higher degree of judgment or complexity.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The consolidated financial statements and results of operations reflect acquired businesses after the completion of the respective acquisition. We account for the acquired businesses using the purchase method of accounting which requires extensive use of accounting estimates and judgments to allocate the purchase price to the fair market values of the acquiree’s identifiable assets and liabilities at the acquisition date. Any excess in the purchase price over the estimated fair market values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill in the consolidated statements of financial position. These business acquisitions have resulted in goodwill and intangible assets, which are subject to periodic impairment test and amortization, respectively. Thus, the numerous judgments made in estimating the fair market value to be assigned to the acquiree’s assets and liabilities can materially affect our financial performance.

Estimated Useful Lives and Impairment of Property and Equipment

We estimate the useful lives of our property and equipment and intangible assets based on expected asset utilization as anchored on business plans and strategies that also consider expected future technological developments and market behavior. The estimation of the useful lives of property and equipment is based on our collective assessment of industry practice, internal technical evaluation and experience with similar assets. The estimated useful lives are reviewed at least each financial year-end and are updated if expectations differ from previous estimates due to physical wear and tear, technical or commercial obsolescence and legal or other limitations on the use of the assets. It is possible, however, that future results of operations could be materially affected by changes in the estimates brought about by changes in the factors mentioned above.

The amounts and timing of recorded expenses for any period will be affected by changes in these factors and circumstances. A reduction in the estimated useful lives of the our property and equipment will increase the recorded operating expenses and decrease non-current assets.

Estimation of Pension Cost and Other Employee Benefits

The determination of our obligation and cost for pension and other employee benefits is dependent on the selection of certain assumptions used by actuary in calculating such amounts. Those assumptions include, among

 

93


Table of Contents

other things, discount rates, expected returns on plan assets and rates of compensation increases. Actual results that differ from our assumptions are recognized as income or expense when the net cumulative unrecognized actuarial gains and losses at the end of the previous reporting period exceed 10% of the higher of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets at that date.

While we believe that their assumptions are reasonable and appropriate, significant differences in our actual experience or significant changes in their assumptions may materially affect the costs and obligations of pension and other employee benefits.

Realizability of Deferred Income Tax Assets

We review the carrying amounts of deferred income tax assets at the end of each reporting period and reduce these to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax assets to be utilized. Our assessment on the recognition of deferred income tax assets on deductible temporary differences is based on the level and timing of forecasted taxable income of the subsequent reporting periods. This forecast is based on our past results and future expectations on revenues and expenses as well as future tax planning strategies.

Estimating Allowance for Impairment Losses on Receivables

We estimate the allowance for impairment losses related to their trade receivables that are specifically identified as doubtful for collection. The level of allowance is evaluated by management on the basis of factors that affect the collectability of the accounts. In these cases, we use judgment based on the best available facts and circumstances, including but not limited to, the length of our relationship with the customers and the customers’ credit status based on third-party credit reports and known market factors, to record specific reserves for customers against amounts due in order to reduce our receivables to amounts that they expect to collect. These specific reserves are re-evaluated and adjusted as additional information received affect the amounts estimated.

In addition to specific allowance against individually significant receivables, we also assess a collective impairment allowance against credit exposure of their customers which are grouped based on common credit characteristic, which, although not specifically identified as requiring a specific allowance, have a greater risk of default than when the receivables were originally granted to customers. This collective allowance is based on historical loss experience using various factors such as historical performance of the customers within the collective group, deterioration in the markets in which the customers operate, and identified structural weaknesses or deterioration in the cash flows of customers.

Determination of Fair Values of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

We carry certain financial assets and liabilities at fair values, which require extensive use of accounting estimates and judgments for the fair values of financial assets and liabilities. While significant components of fair value measurement are determined using verifiable objective evidence (i.e., foreign exchange rates, interest rates and volatility rates), the amount of changes in fair value will differ if we utilize a different valuation methodology. Any change in fair value of these financial assets will directly affect our consolidated statements of financial position, statements of comprehensive income and or consolidated statements of changes in equity.

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations to Existing Standards Effective Subsequent to December 31, 2011

Please see Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the accompanying consolidated financial statements in Item 19 for a discussion of new accounting standards that will become effective subsequent to December 31, 2010 and their anticipated impact on our consolidated financial statements for the current and future periods.

For the three years ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, we did not conduct significant research and development activities.

D. TREND INFORMATION

Please refer to the introductory discussion to “—Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Operating Results” above for a detailed discussion of significant trends impacting our operating results and financial condition.

In January 2011, the Company introduced an organizational restructuring which forms part of our transformation program that began in 2009 to increase the Company’s productivity and improve our longer-term operating results. The Company is offering special compensation packages to employees who meet certain criteria as determined by the Company and who opt to end their employment relationship with the Company as part of such organizational restructuring under the VSS Program. IAS 37 on the Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets requires us to disclose the total number of employees who participate in the program and the compensation paid; however, we have not disclosed this information in this annual report as it could lead to a precipitate presumption on the outcome of the program since the Company is still currently offering the program to its employees.

E. OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

As of December 31, 2010, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that were reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

At any meeting each Commissioner is entitled to one vote and, in addition, may cast one vote for each Commissioner he is representing. A Commissioner may be represented at a meeting of the Commissioners only by another Commissioner appointed pursuant to a power of attorney. Except as otherwise provided in our Articles of Association, resolutions of the Board of Commissioners must be adopted by deliberation and consensus. If no agreement is reached through this method, resolutions must be passed by a simple majority of the Commissioners. In the event of a tie vote, the proposal is deemed rejected unless the matter concerns an individual, in which case the President Commissioner may cast the deciding vote.

consensus, the resolutions must be passed by a majority vote, and, in the event of a tie vote, the President Director has a deciding vote. The Board of Directors may adopt valid and binding resolutions without convening a meeting of the Directors if all of the Directors approve and sign the resolutions in writing.

Individual Directors are charged with specific responsibilities. In the event that a vacancy occurs in the Board of Directors, so long as the position remains vacant, one of the other Directors will be nominated by the Board of Commissioners to perform the work of the absentee Director. If, for any reason, we cease to have any Directors, the Board of Commissioners is to assume the ongoing obligations of the Board of Directors and must convene a general meeting of shareholders to elect a new Board of Directors within 45 days.

Our Articles of Association provide that if there is a conflict between our interests and those of a Director, then with the approval of the Board of Commissioners, we shall be represented by another member of the Board of Directors. If all Directors have a conflict, we shall be represented by the Board of Commissioners or one Commissioner designated by the President Commissioner. If the entire Board of Commissioners has a conflict, the shareholders may appoint one or more persons to represent us at the general meeting of shareholders.

Audit Committee

In accordance with BAPEPAM-LK, Indonesia Stock Exchange and New York Stock Exchange regulations, we have formed an independent Audit Committee, consisting of five persons and chaired by one of the Independent Commissioners. The duties of the Audit Committee include providing professional, independent advice to the Board of Commissioners and identifying matters that require the attention of the Board of Commissioners, including a review of the following: our financial information (including financial reports and projections); the independence and objectivity of our public accountant; the adequacy of our public accountant’s audits that all material risks have been considered; the adequacy of our internal controls; our compliance as a listed company with the prevailing capital markets regulations and other regulations related to our business and our internal auditors’ duties. The Audit Committee also examines and reports complaints to the Board of Commissioners, maintains the confidentiality of documents, data and information relating to us, conducts an audit of any alleged mistake in the resolutions of a Board of Directors’ meeting or deviations in the implementation of the resolutions of such meeting and maintains the Audit Committee charter.

On June 5, 2008, George Thia Peng Heok was appointed as Chairman of the Audit Committee. On January 29, 2010, Chris Kanter was elected to our Audit Committee. As of December 31, 2010, the members of our Audit Committee were George Thia Peng Heok (Chairman), Soeprapto S.IP, Chris Kanter, Kanaka Puradiredja and Unggul Saut Marupa Tampubolon. BAPEPAM-LK regulations require at least two outside persons to serve as members of the Audit Committee: Kanaka Puradiredja and Unggul Saut Marupa Tampubolon serve as the independent outside members of our Audit Committee. We have posted the written charter of the Audit Committee on our website at www.indosat.com, where it is publicly available.

Such charter is reviewed annually and a revised charter has been approved by our Board of Commissioners and is attached hereto as Exhibit 15.14.

Remuneration Committee

Our Remuneration Committee is responsible for providing recommendations to our Board of Commissioners regarding remuneration, bonuses and other benefits for members of our Board of Commissioners and Board of Directors as well as employees, including the structure, terms and issuance of stock options. On January 29, 2010, Alexander Rusli was elected to our Remuneration Committee.

Risk Management Committee

On October 26, 2005, we established a Risk Management Committee, which reports to our Board of Commissioners. Our Risk Management Committee evaluates potential risks regarding our business and provides recommendations to our Board of Commissioners regarding our policies regarding risk assessment and risk management, including making recommendations for improvements to our existing procedures as necessary. As of December 31, 2010, the members of our Risk Management Committee were Rachmat Gobel (Chairman), George Thia Peng Heok, Jarman and Rionald Silaban. Following the Company’s Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders, as of February 8, 2011, the members of our Risk Management Committee are Rachmat Gobel (Chairman), George Thia Peng Heok, and Rionald Silaban. We have posted the written charter of the Risk Management Committee on our website at www.indosat.com, where it is publicly available.

Budget Committee

Our Budget Committee assists the Board of Commissioners in performing the Board’s supervisory and advisory duties by reviewing and giving its recommendations to the Board in relation to the Company’s strategic plans, the annual work plan and budget (which includes the capital expenditure plan). As of December 31, 2010, the members of our Budget Committee were Dr. Nasser Marafih (Chairman), George Thia Peng Heok, Richard Farnsworth Seney and Jarman. Following the Company’s Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders, as of February 8, 2011, the members of our Budget Committee are Dr. Nasser Marafih (Chairman), George Thia Peng Heok and Richard Farnsworth Seney.

Employees

As of December 31, 2010, on a consolidated basis, we employed 6,694 employees, 4,838 of whom were permanent employees and 1,856 of whom were non-permanent employees. As of December 31, 2010, excluding seconded employees, our subsidiaries employed approximately 1.005 permanent employees. As of December 31, 2010, our permanent employees included 787 managerial-level employees (employees with the rank of manager or higher) and 3,046 non-managerial employees, compared to 735 managerial-level employees and 3,152 non-managerial employees as of December 31, 2009, and 772 managerial and 3,221 non-managerial employees as of December 31, 2008. Our turnover rate for employees during 2010 was 2.37% per annum. As a result, as of December 31, 2010, our employees had worked for us for an average of 13.07 years.

In January 2011, the Company introduced an organizational restructuring which forms part of our transformation program that began in 2009 to increase the Company’s productivity and improve our longer-term operating results. The Company is offering special compensation packages to employees who meet certain criteria as determined by the Company and who opt to end their employment relationship with the Company as part of such organizational restructuring under the VSS Program. IAS 37 on the Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets requires us to disclose the total number of employees who participate in the program and the compensation paid; however, we have not disclosed this information in this annual report as it could lead to a precipitate presumption on the outcome of the program since the Company is still currently offering the program to its employees.

We provide a number of benefits to our employees, including a pension plan, medical benefits, life insurance, income tax allowances and access to a cooperative established by the employees.

On August 25, 1999, our employees established a union called the Serikat Pekerja Indosat, or SPI (Union). On September 15, 2006, our management and SPI signed a collective labor agreement covering general terms of employment, including working hours, payroll, employee development and competency, occupational safety and health, employees’ welfare, social allowances, employees’ code of conduct and mechanisms for handling disputes. This collective labor agreement was renewed on December 31, 2010. We believe we maintain a good relationship with the union. As stipulated by Article 7.3 of the collective labor agreement, we conduct meetings with the union at least once every 3 months.

Some of our employees are entitled to a pension under a defined benefit plan, pursuant to which they receive both a lump sum payment and a monthly benefit through an insurance program managed by PT Asuransi Jiwasraya (Persero), a state-owned insurance company. As of December 31, 2010, we insured 2,343 permanent employees through a fully-funded pension program. In this program, an employee who resigns at 56 years of age will receive a pension benefit. In addition, we established a defined contribution pension plan for our employees in May 2001. Following the merger of Satelindo and IM3 into Indosat, we combined the defined contribution plans established for our legacy subsidiaries’ employees with our plan. Under the defined contribution plan, employees contribute 10.0% to 13.33% of their base salaries to the plan. We then make a contribution to the plan equivalent to 50% of each employee’s contribution.

Our employees have also established a cooperative, Koperasi Pegawai Indosat (“Kopindosat”). Kopindosat provides various benefits, such as consumer loans, principally to our employees, and car and equipment rental, principally to us. The management of Kopindosat is elected by our employees every three years at a members’ meeting. Kopindosat has a minority stake in some of our affiliates. We have also temporarily seconded several of our employees to support Kopindosat and its subsidiaries in conducting their business, as well as to provide job training for its employees.

Share Ownership

One of our directors beneficially owns less than one percent of our common stock and his beneficial share ownership in us has been recorded in our special register.

Item 7: MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

As of December 31, 2010, our issued and fully paid capital was divided into 1 Series A share and 5,433,933,499 Series B shares, each with a par value of Rp100. The Government, through the Ministry of State-Owned Enterprises, owns the 1 Series A share and has special voting rights, and owns 776,624,999 Series B shares representing 14.29% of our shares. Qtel Asia owns 3,031,528,000 Series B shares and 500,528,600 Series B shares underlying our American Depositary Shares, or a total of 3,532,056,600 Series B shares representing 65% of our shares. SKAGEN AS owns 7,000,000 Series B shares and 270,824,400 Series B shares underlying our American Depositary Shares, or a total of 277,824,400 Series B shares representing 5.11% of our shares. As of December 31, 2010, 82,868,450 of our ordinary shares underlying our American Depositary Shares, representing in aggregate approximately 1.52% of our outstanding shares, and 764,559,050 Series B shares representing 14.07% of our shares were held by the public. Because many of our Series B shares and American Depositary Shares were held by brokers and other institutions on behalf of security holders in street name, we believe that the number of beneficial holders of our ordinary shares is higher.

The following table sets forth information as of December 31, 2010 regarding (i) persons known to us to own more than 5.0% of our common stock (whether directly or beneficially through American Depositary Shares) and (ii) the total amount of any class of our common stock owned by individual members of the Board of Commissioners and the Board of Directors:

The Government

Prior to our initial public offering in 1994, the Government owned 100% of our outstanding common stock. As of the beginning of 2002, the Government owned 65.0% of our outstanding common stock. By virtue of its common stock ownership, the Government had retained control over us and had the power to elect all of our Board of Commissioners and our Board of Directors and to determine the outcome of substantially all actions requiring the approval of our shareholders. In addition, pension plans, insurance funds and other Indonesian investors owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by the Government, purchased shares of common stock in the initial public offering.

On May 16, 2002, the Government sold 8.1% of our outstanding common stock through an accelerated global tender, reducing the Government’s shareholding to 56.9%. On December 20, 2002, the Government sold 41.9% of our outstanding common stock to ICLM (described below), further reducing the Government’s shareholding to 15.0%. Although Government’s ownership has been reduced, the Government retains a significant degree of control over us through the 1 Series A share.

As the holder of the 1 Series A share, the Government has special voting rights. The material rights and restrictions which are applicable to our common stock are also applicable to the 1 Series A share, except that the Government may not transfer the Series A share. In addition, through the Series A share, the Government has veto rights with respect to: (i) increases in our share capital without pre-emptive rights; (ii) mergers, consolidations, acquisitions and demerger involving us; (iii) dissolution, liquidation and bankruptcy; (iv) amendments to our Articles of Association related to our purposes and objectives and the Series A holder’s veto rights.

ICLM and Qtel Asia

On December 15, 2002, ICLM, which, at the time was a subsidiary of STT, entered into a share purchase agreement and a shareholders’ agreement with the Government, acting through the Ministry of State-Owned Enterprises in its capacity as our shareholder. STT is 100% owned by ST Telemedia, which is indirectly owned by Temasek Holdings (Private) Limited. Pursuant to the share purchase agreement, the Government sold to ICLM 434,250,000 Series B Shares representing 41.9% of the total outstanding Series B Shares. After consummation of this sale and purchase, the Government held 155,324,999 Series B Shares, representing 15.0% of the total outstanding Series B Shares. As of May 4, 2006, ICLM owned 2,171,250,000 (39.96%) of our Series B shares, the Government owned 1 Series A share and 776,624,999 of our Series B shares (14.29%) and ICLS, an affiliate of ICLM, owned 46,340,000 (0.85%) of our Series B shares.

On January 17, 2007, ICLM notified us regarding the intention of Qtel to make an equity investment of approximately 25.0% in AMH which, at the time, was wholly owned by STT, which we understand closed on March 1, 2007. Upon the closing of the transaction, STT effectively controlled approximately 75.0% of AMH, which directly owns ICLM and ICLS.

On June 22, 2008, following negotiations with ST Telemedia, Qtel purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of each of ICLM and ICLS. Pursuant to the share purchase agreement, Qtel, through its subsidiary Qatar South East Asia Holding S.P.C., acquired all of the capital stock of ICLM and ICLS from AMH, which is 75.0% indirectly owned by STT and 25.0% indirectly owned by Qtel. Following this acquisition, pursuant to Indonesian law requirements, Qtel conducted a mandatory tender offer to acquire up to 24.19% of our outstanding Series B Shares (including Series B Shares underlying ADSs) and now owns 65.0% of our shares. On June 4, 2009, ICLM sold its 39.96% ownership in Indosat to ICLS and, pursuant thereto, ICLS became the legal owner of 3,532,056,600 shares representing 65.0% of our shares. On September 11, 2009, ICLS changed its name to Qatar Telecom (Qtel Asia) Pte. Ltd. Qtel is 68%-owned by the Qatar government.

Qtel provides significant financial expertise, procurement, legal, operational, network build and maintenance, marketing, human resources, business development and technical support to us. Qtel has

management representation in us and actively participates in business strategy formulation. We intend to take advantage of synergies existing and created by membership in the Qtel group of companies, thereby enhancing our position in the Indonesian telecommunications market.

Skagen AS

In September 2010, we were informed by SKAGEN AS, a Norwegian investment company with eleven mutual funds under management, that through certain purchases of our ADSs, it owns more than 5% of our shares. As of December 31, 2010, SKAGEN AS owns approximately 5.11% of our shares.

Related Party Transactions

We are a party to certain agreements and engage in transactions with a number of entities that are related to us, including joint venture companies, cooperatives and foundations, as well as our controlling shareholders, the Government and Qtel Asia, and entities that are related to or owned or controlled by the Government and Qtel Asia. The most significant of these transactions include cash and cash equivalents in the amount of Rp1,615.6 billion deposited in state-owned banks as of December 31, 2010 operating revenues from Telkom amounting to Rp587.4 billion and cost of services to the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology amounting to Rp1,939.4 billion. For further information on interest rate in relation to our outstanding loans, see “Item 5: Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Principal Indebtedness.” In addition, we are a party to various agreements with other state-owned entities such as insurance companies, banks and various suppliers. For a discussion of some of significant transactions entered into with related parties, see Note 25 of our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report.

Item 8: FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Consolidated Financial Statement and Other Financial Information

See “Item 17: Financial Statements” for our audited consolidated financial statements filed as part of this annual report. There has not been any significant change since the date of our audited financial statements.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of our business. We are not currently involved in, and have not recently been involved in, any legal or arbitration proceedings that we believe would be likely to have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations other than as disclosed in this annual report.

On May 5, 2004, we received the Supreme Court’s verdict No. 1610K/PDT/2003 in favor of Primer Koperasi Pegawai Kantor Menteri Negara Kebudayaan dan Pariwisata (known as Primkopparseni), regarding a disputed foreign currency exchange transaction. The court’s judgment required us to pay Rp13.7 billion plus 6.0% interest per annum from February 16, 1998 until the final settlement date and on December 22, 2004, we satisfied the judgment through payment of Rp19.3 billion to the Central Jakarta District Court. Furthermore, in January 2005, we filed a motion for reconsideration against the Supreme Court’s verdict. As of April 20, 2011, the Supreme Court has not issued a verdict for the reconsideration.

In order to recover the amount we paid to Primkopparseni, we initiated a new action in the Central Jakarta District Court asserting that the Primkopparseni members’ meeting at which the members decided to proceed with the dispute against us was invalid. On January 19, 2005, the Central Jakarta District Court held that such members’ meeting was unlawful, but did not require Primkopparseni to compensate us, prompting us and Primkopparseni to file an appeal of that decision with the Jakarta High Court on February 1, 2005. The Jakarta High Court through its decision No. 483 / PDT / 2005 / PT.DKI decided in our favor by ruling that such meeting was unlawful, but, on the other hand, did not require Primkopparseni to compensate us. We and Primkopparseni appealed to the Supreme Court to ask for compensation for the costs of legal fees and injury to our brand name,

but the Supreme Court declined our appeal on August 13, 2008 through its decision No. 229/K/PDT/2008. Since we did not take any further legal action with respect to the Supreme Court’s decision, this case is now final and binding.

Based on Qtel’s Schedule TO dated as of January 20, 2009 and filed with the SEC on January 20, 2009, on November 19, 2007, the KPPU, decided that Temasek Holdings, Pte. Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of Singapore (“Temasek”), jointly with Singapore Technologies Telemedia Pte. Ltd. (“ST Telemedia”), STT, Asia Mobile Holding Company Pte. Ltd. (“AMHC”), AMH, ICLM, ICLS, Singapore Telecommunications Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of Singapore (“SingTel”), and Singapore Telecom Mobile Pte. Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of Singapore (“SingTel Mobile”), were in violation of the Indonesian competition laws and ordered Temasek, jointly with the STT, AMHC, AMH, ICLM, ICLS and SingTel (the “Temasek Affiliated Entities”), to divest their share ownership in either Telkomsel or Indosat within two years, effective from the date the judgment became legally enforceable. Indonesian competition laws state that business agents are prohibited from owning majority shares in a number of similar companies which conduct business in the same market if such ownership results in one or a group of business agents controlling over 50.0% of the market share of one kind of good or service. Temasek and other relevant parties filed an appeal against the KPPU’s judgment in the Central Jakarta District Court. In a Decision and Order dated May 9, 2008, the Central Jakarta District Court upheld and corrected the ruling by the KPPU, and ordered Temasek and the Temasek Affiliated Entities to divest their holdings in either Telkomsel or Indosat within twelve months after the Central Jakarta District Court judgment became legally enforceable. The decision of the Central Jakarta District Court was appealed to the Supreme Court. On September 10, 2008, the Supreme Court rejected the appeal and corrected the Central Jakarta District Court’s decision as follows, among others: (1) declaring that Temasek, jointly with the Temasek Affiliated Entities was in violation of Article 27 point (a) of Law No. 5 of 1999; (2) ordering Temasek, jointly with the Temasek Affiliated Entities, to terminate their cross-ownership of shares in Telkomsel and Indosat by transferring its shares in either Telkomsel or Indosat, within twelve months from the date the decree became legally enforceable; or reduce 50.0% of its share ownerships in each of Telkomsel and Indosat by no later than twelve months from the date the court’s decision is legally enforceable; and (3) ordering Temasek, jointly with the Temasek Affiliated Entities, to determine the company that they will relinquish their shares from and to relinquish the voting rights and the rights to appoint the directors and commissioners in either Telkomsel or Indosat until the relinquishment of all of their shares or the reduction of 50.0% of their shares in each of Telkomsel and Indosat as stipulated in point (2) above. On June 22, 2008, Qtel acquired all of the Temasek Affiliated Entities’ 40.81% share ownership in Indosat. Temasek and the STT, AMHC, AMH, SingTei and ICLM as well as ICLS filed a motion for reconsideration, but based on the Supreme Court’s official website, the motion for the reconsideration wa rejected under the decision No. Reg. 128 PK/PDT.SUS/2009 dated May 5, 2010. Therefore, Temasek and the STT, AMHC, AMH, SingTei and ICLM as well as ICLS are obliged to pay the fine in amount of Rp15 billion to KPPU.

A series of class action lawsuits were also filed against us and Telkomsel in the District Court of Bekasi, the Central Jakarta District Court and the Tangerang District Court relating to Temasek Holding’s prior cross ownership of shares in Indosat and Telkomsel, which is alleged to have caused high price fixing of telecommunications services that harmed to the public. On October 31, 2007, a group of consumers of cellular telephones in Indonesia filed suit in the District Court of Bekasi demanding, among other remedies, Rp1,231.7 billion in compensation for losses allegedly suffered. We are also a defendant in a similar class action suit filed in the Tangerang District Court on December 19, 2007 (the “Tangerang Class Action”). The plaintiffs represent our customers and the customers of Telkomsel and XL throughout Indonesia who used the Simpati, Mentari, Kartu As, IM3, Kartu Halo, Matrix, Jempol, Xplor, and Bebas services and are demanding compensation amounting to Rp30,808.7 billion, among other remedies. On April 22, 2008, we received notification that we, Temasek Holdings, ST Telemedia, STT, AMH, ICLM, ICLS, SingTel, SingTel Mobile, Telkomsel, Telkom and the Ministry of State-Owned Enterprises, were defendants in another class action filed in the Central Jakarta District Court (the “Central Jakarta Class Action”). The plaintiffs represent customers of Telkomsel, Indosat and XL and have asserted allegations similar to that of the Tangerang Class Action. The plaintiffs are demanding compensation amounting to Rp30,808.7 billion, among other remedies. In July 2008, we were notified that the class action in the Bekasi District Court was revoked by the plaintiffs and the class action

in the Central Jakarta District Court was merged with the Tangerang Class Action. The class action suit in the Tangerang District Court was postponed by the judges pending resolution of an appeal to the Supreme Court by the plaintiffs from the class action filed in Central Jakarta District Court. On March 27, 2009, we were informed that the Supreme Court issued a decision on January 21, 2009 revoking the Central Jakarta District Court decision and ordering the Central Jakarta District Court to continue with the class action. On December 22, 2009, Indosat submitted a proposal in the mediation process asserting that no evidence of customers’ loss has been presented during STT’s ownership. At the same time, Indosat is preparing a claim of inadequacy of representation as well as a response to the lawsuit. On January 5, 2010 the defendants were given the right to provide arguments regarding the legal standing of the class representation under the Class Action Lawsuit Procedure. On January 27, 2010, the Judges ruled that that the Central Jakarta Class Action lawsuit was unacceptable and ordered the plaintiffs and defendants to stop the case because (i) the plaintiffs refused to prove their legal standing and (ii) two members of the plaintiffs’ class did not qualify to stand as class representatives. The period for appeal having lapsed on March 18, 2010, the decision of the Central Jakarta District Court dated January 27, 2010 is now final and binding.

On March 22, 2010, the trial of the Tangerang Class Action continued, but the plaintiffs failed to appear. On May 3, 2010, the Company submitted a demurrer and on May 24, 2010, the judges ruled that the class action filed with the Tangerang District Court was unacceptable because the plaintiffs were not serious in filing the lawsuit and the plaintiffs failed to prove their legal standing for qualification as class representatives. Since the time limit to file an appeal lapsed on July 21, 2010, the decision of the Tangerang District Court dated May 24, 2010 is final and binding.

In addition to the above, we have received a letter from the KPPU, No. 398 / AK / KTPP / XI / 2007, dated November 15, 2007 relating to the possible breach of Article 5 of Law No. 5 / 1999 through price-fixing of SMS by telecommunications operators (case number 26 / KPPU-L / 2007). On June 18, 2008, the KPPU determined that only Telkom, Telkomsel, XL, Bakrie Telecom, Mobile-8 and Smart Telecom have jointly breached Article 5 of Law No. 5 / 1999. Telkomsel appealed this ruling to the South Jakarta District Court while Mobile-8 appealed this ruling to the Central Jakarta District Court where XL, Telkomsel, Indosat, Telkom, Hutchison, Bakrie Telecom, Smart Telecom, PT Natrindo Telepon Seluler were summoned to appear as co-defendants.

During tax audits and assessments of our tax payments for 2004 and 2005 by the Tax Office for State-Owned Enterprises (the “Tax Office”), on December 4, 2006 and March 27, 2007, respectively, we were notified that our withholding tax for interest paid on intercompany loans for Indosat Finance Company B.V. and Indosat International Finance Company B.V. relating to our US$300.0 million principal amount Guaranteed Notes 2010 and US$250.0 million principal amount Guaranteed Notes 2012, respectively, should be 20.0%, rather than 10.0%. Based on advice from our tax advisors and our understanding of Indonesian law, we believe that our original calculations of withholding tax are accurate and submitted objection letters to the Tax Office regarding these assessments. On February 18, 2008 and June 4, 2008, we received Decision Letters from the Directorate General of Taxation rejecting our objections to our assessed tax payments for 2004 and 2005 in the amount of Rp60,493 million and Rp82,126 million, respectively. On May 14, 2008, the Company submitted an appeal letter to the Tax Court concerning the Company’s objection to the correction of the income tax article 26 for fiscal year 2004. On May 25, 2010, the Company received the Decision Letter from the Tax Court which declined the Company’s objection to the correction of the 2004 income tax article 26. The Company charged the tax correction to current operations, which was presented as part of “Other Income (Expenses)—Others—Net”.

We are also currently disputing an assessment of tax overpayment for fiscal year 2005 with the Tax Office. On March 27, 2007, we received an assessment letter for tax overpayment, indicating that the Directorate General of Taxation approved the refund of an overpayment of 2005 corporate income tax amounting to Rp135,766 million, which amount is lower than the amount of Rp176,645 million that we recognize. We filed an objection with the Tax Office on June 22, 2007 and claimed for the difference amounting to Rp40,879 million. On May 27, 2008, we received a Decision Letter from the Directorate General of Taxation which partially accepted our objection, but only for the amount of Rp2,725 million. On August 21, 2008, the Company

submitted an appeal letter to the Tax Court concerning the Company’s remaining objection on the 2005 corporate income tax. On October 29, 2010, the Company received the Decision Letter from the Tax Court which accepted the Company’s objection to the correction of the 2005 corporate income tax amounting to Rp38,155 million, which was offset against the underpayment of the Company’s 2008 and 2009 income tax article 26 based on Tax Collection Letters (“STPs”) received by the Company on September 17, 2010.

On December 24, 2008, we received the Decision Letter from the Directorate General of Taxation which increased the overpayment amount by Rp84,650 million in the assessment letter on tax overpayment for fiscal year 2004, which amount was lower than the amount stated in an earlier Decision Letter received on July 4, 2008. On January 21, 2009, we filed suit objecting to the discrepancy in the amount of tax overpayment during fiscal year 2004. With respect thereto, on November 17, 2009 the Tax Court revoked the Directorate General of Taxation’s assessment letter No. KEP-539/WPJ.19/BD.05/2008, dated December 24, 2008. On March 17, 2010, the Directorate General of Taxation issued a decision favorable to the Company, informing it that the tax overpayment for fiscal year 2004 should be Rp126,403 million instead of Rp84,650 million, which would entitle the Company to get a refund of the difference, amounting to Rp41,753 million. The Company then subsequently received the payment of such tax refund amounting to Rp41,753 million from Directorate General of Taxation on April 13, 2010.

On June 8, 2009, the Company received the assessment letter on tax underpayment (“SKPKB”) from the DGT for Satelindo’s corporate income tax for fiscal year 2002 amounting to Rp105,809 million (including penalties and interest) . The Company accepted a part of the correction of the 2002 corporate income tax amounting to Rp2,646 million which was charged to current operations in 2009. Under Indonesian Tax Law, a taxpayer is required to pay the tax underpayment amount as stated in the SKPKB within one month from the date of the SKPKB. The taxpayer can reclaim the tax paid through an objection or appeal process. On August 28, 2009, the Company submitted an objection letter to the Tax Office regarding the remaining correction on Satelindo’s 2002 corporate income tax. On July 15, 2010, the Company received the Decision Letter No.KEP-357/WPJ.19/BD.05/2010 from the DGT declining the Company’s objection to the correction on Satelindo’s corporate income tax for fiscal year 2002. On October 14, 2010, the Company submitted an appeal letter to the Tax Court concerning the Company’s objection to the correction on Satelindo’s corporate income tax for fiscal year 2002. As of April 20, 2011, the Company has not received any decision from the Tax Court on such appeal.

On June 8, 2009, the Company also received SKPKBs from the DGT for Satelindo’s 2002 and 2003 income tax article 26 amounting to Rp51,546 million and Rp40,307 million (including penalties and interests), respectively. On August 27, 2009, the Company submitted an objection letter to the Tax Office for the correction of the Satelindo’s 2002 and 2003 income tax article 26. On July 16, 2010, the Company received the Decision Letters No.KEP-367/WPJ.19/BD.05/2010 and KEP-368/WPJ.19/BD.05/2010 from the DGT declining the Company’s objection to the correction of the Satelindo’s 2002 and 2003 income tax article 26. On October 12, 2010, the Company submitted appeal letters to the Tax Court concerning the Company’s objection to the correction of Satelindo’s 2002 and 2003 income tax article 26. As of April 20, 2011, the Company has not received any decision from the Tax Court on such appeal.

On September 7, 2009, the Company received the Decision Letter No.KEP-335/WPJ.19/BD.05/2009 from the DGT which declined the Company’s objection to the remaining corrections of the 2006 corporate income tax.

Subsequently, on November 16, 2010, the Company was required to pay a certain portion of these STPs by using the approved tax refund claim for on the Company’s corporate Income Tax for fiscal year 2005 amounting to Rp38,155 million.

Dividend Policy

Our shareholders determine dividend payouts in the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders pursuant to recommendations from our Board of Directors.

Markets

Our common stock is listed on the IDX. The IDX is the principal non-U.S. trading market for our common stock. In addition, our ADSs, each representing 50 shares of our common stock, are listed on the NYSE. After the stock split, which became effective on March 10, 2004, each ADS represents 50 Series B shares (as compared to the ten Series B shares previously represented thereby).

The Indonesian Securities Market

On November 30, 2007, the Jakarta Stock Exchange and the Surabaya Stock Exchange merged to become the IDX. The IDX began operation on December 3, 2007 and in 2007, had a market capitalization of Rp2,539.041 billion, in which Rp1,982 billion of it came from equities, Rp79,065 billion and US$105 million came from corporate bonds and Rp477 trillion came from the government bonds.

Overview of the IDX

There are currently two daily trading sessions for regular and negotiable markets from Monday to Thursday, 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 noon, and 1:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. There are two trading sessions for regular and negotiable market on Friday, from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. There is only one cash market trading session from Monday to Thursday, 9.30 a.m to 12.00 noon and Friday, 9.30 a.m to 11.30 a.m. Trading on the IDX is based on an order-driven market system. Investors must contact brokerage companies, or IDX

members, that will execute their orders through the IDX trading system. Trading on the IDX can only be done by IDX members who are registered as members of the Indonesian Clearing and Guarantee Corporation, or KPEI. A brokerage company may also buy and sell securities for its own account. No limitation of share ownership by foreign investors or foreign institutions exists through direct placement or through trading on the IDX, except for banking institutions, which may only be 99.0% foreign owned.

Trading is divided into three market segments: regular market, negotiable market, and cash market. The regular market is the mechanism for trading stock in standard lots on a continuous auction market during exchange hours. With respect to the trading of stock, a round lot consists of 500 shares. The price movements are limited as follows: (i) if the share price is below Rp200, then the price moves in increments of Rp1 with the aggregate daily price movement limited to Rp10; (ii) if the share price is equal to Rp200 or more, but less than Rp500, then the price moves in increments of Rp5 with the aggregate daily price movement limited to Rp50; (iii) if the share price is equal to Rp500 or more, but less than Rp2,000, then the price moves in increments of Rp10 with the aggregate daily price movement limited to Rp100; (iv) if the share price is equal to Rp2,000 or more, but less than Rp5,000, then the price moves in increments of Rp25 with the aggregate daily price movement limited to Rp250; and (v) if the share price is equal to or exceeds Rp5,000, then the price moves in increments of Rp50 with the aggregate daily price movement limited to Rp500. Orders are processed by computers that carry out matching processes of the outstanding “bids” and “asks” according to price and time priority. Price priority gives priority to buying orders at a lower price or selling orders at a higher price. If buying or selling orders are placed at the same price, priority is given to the buying or selling order placed first (time priority).

Trades in the negotiated market can be completed without using the round lot system and price step rule. IDX members can advertise selling or buying orders through the IDX trading system and amend their order by negotiating with another member. The ultimate price is based on agreement, but it is recommended to be based on the stock price on the regular market.

Transactions on the IDX regular market and non-regular market are required to be settled no later than the third trading day after the transactions. In case of a default by an exchange member on settlement upon the due date, they are liable to pay 125.0% of the highest price of the same securities or the same trading day.

The IDX board of directors may cancel a transaction if proof exists of fraud, manipulation or the use of insider information. The board of directors may also suspend trading if there are indications of bogus transactions or jacking up of share prices, misleading information, use of insider information, counterfeit securities or securities blocked from trading, or other important events.

IDX members may charge fees for their services based on an agreement with their clients. When conducting stock transactions on the IDX, exchange members are required to pay a transaction fee equal to 0.03% of the cumulative transaction value for each month plus an additional 0.01% for cash and regular market transactions guaranteed by KPEI (subject to a minimum transaction fee of Rp2,000,000). The commissions and transaction fees do not include the 10.0% value-added tax and the 0.1% transaction tax levied on the cumulative value of the sales of the shares.

The Indonesian capital markets are generally less liquid than those in countries with more developed capital markets. This illiquidity is especially pronounced for large blocks of securities. Also, prices in the Indonesian capital markets are typically more volatile than in such other markets. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that a holder of common stock will be able to dispose of common stock at prices or at times at which such holder would be able to do so in more liquid markets or at all. Further, we cannot assure you that a holder of common stock will be able to dispose of common stock at or above such holder’s purchase price.

Trading on the NYSE

The Bank of New York serves as depositary, or the Depositary, with respect to our ADSs, which are traded on the NYSE. After the stock split, which became effective on March 10, 2004, each ADS represents 50 shares

Such amendment has been registered in the Central Jakarta Company Register Office under number 0540 / RUB.09.05 / III / 2004, dated March 9, 2004. On October 20, 2004, the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights of Indonesia changed its name to the Ministry of Law and Human Rights of Indonesia.

On January 28, 2010, Indosat convened an Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders to approve, among others, an amendment to Article 3 of Indosat’s Articles of Association, covering its purposes and objective. Such amendment was required in compliance with Rule of Bapepam dan LK No. IX.J.1.

Our Articles of Association, or the Articles, state that any transaction involving a conflict of interest as defined in prevailing capital market regulations should obtain the approval of the independent shareholders in a general meeting of shareholders especially convened for such purpose.

Each Director receives an annual bonus as well as other incentives in the event we surpass certain financial and operating targets, the amounts of which are determined by our Board of Commissioners and reported at our annual general meeting of shareholders. Bonuses are budgeted annually and are based on the recommendation of our Board of Directors, whose recommendation must be approved by our Board of Commissioners prior to

 

115


Table of Contents

submission to our shareholders. Each Commissioner is granted a monthly honorarium and certain other allowances, the amounts of which are determined by our shareholders at our annual general meeting of shareholders.

Our Board of Directors are responsible for leading and managing us in accordance with our objectives and purposes as well as to control, preserve and manage our assets. To complete these responsibilities, our Board of Directors are authorized to cause us to borrow such sums as required from time to time subject to the limitations set forth in the Articles. The borrowing powers of our Board of Directors may only be varied through an amendment to the Articles. The Articles do not contain any requirement for the Directors to retire by a specified age or to own any or a specified number of our common shares.

Common Stock

The following is a summary of the material rights and restrictions related to the common stock of Indosat based upon applicable provisions of Indonesian law and provisions of our Articles of Association, which were amended on January 28, 2010 and approved by the Minister of Law and Human Rights of Indonesia on February 25, 2010. This description does not purport to be complete and is qualified by reference to the Articles of Association and the laws of Indonesia relating to companies, which may in certain instances differ from provisions contained in the Articles of Association.

All of the shares of common stock are registered shares and are issued in the name of the owner of the common stock registered in the register of shareholders of Indosat. The Board of Directors keep a register of shareholders of Indosat, and Indosat must treat the person whose name is entered in such register of shareholders as the only person entitled to exercise any rights conferred by law with respect to such common stock.

All transfers of common stock must be evidenced by an instrument of transfer signed by or on behalf of the transferor and by or on behalf of the transferee or based on other letters, which give satisfactory evidence of such transfer in the opinion of the Board of Directors. Transfers of common stock take effect only after the transfer is registered in the register of shareholders. The transferor of any common stock will be treated as the owner of such common stock until the name of the transferee has been entered in the register of shareholders.

The holders of common stock are entitled to pre-emptive rights if Indosat issues common stock, convertible bonds, warrants or similar securities. Such pre-emptive rights may be transferred or assigned to third parties subject to the restrictions set forth in the stipulations in the Articles, prevailing capital markets regulations and Indonesian law. Any rights issue shall be first approved by Indosat’s general meeting of shareholders and an announcement of such a plan shall be made by the Board of Directors in two daily newspapers (one in the English language and one in the Indonesian language). If the holders of common stock do not exercise their pre-emptive rights within the period fixed by the Board of the Directors in accordance with the relevant regulations, the Board of Directors may issue such common stock, convertible bonds, warrants or similar securities to third parties at a price and on terms at least the same as that offered previously to the existing shareholders and as determined by the Board of Directors.

Indosat’s authorized capital stock may be increased or decreased only by a resolution of an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders and an amendment of the Articles. Any such Amendment will be effective only after it receives approval from the Minister of Law and Human Rights of Indonesia.

As an exception to the above provisions, Indosat, with the approval of a general meeting of shareholders at which the holder of the Series A share attends and approves the resolution, may issue new shares without conducting a limited public offer to shareholders. This issuance may be done provided that this issue is made for a specified number of shares and such shares are issued within a specified period of time in compliance with the Indonesian capital market regulations or under any exemption Indosat may receive therefrom, and the said shares may be sold by Indosat to any person at a price and upon such conditions as may be determined by the Board of Directors, provided that the price is not lower than par value. There are no limitations on the rights of foreign investors to own our common stock if such stock is acquired through capital markets.

Table of Contents

These provisions also apply mutatis mutandis in the event Indosat issues convertible bonds and/or warrants and/or other similar securities, provided that any new share issued resulting from convertible bonds and/or warrants and/or other similar securities shall be for a specified number of shares and within a specified period of time in compliance with the Indonesian capital market regulations or any exemption as Indosat may receive therefrom.

Series A Share

Voting Rights

Each share of common stock entitles the registered holder thereof to one vote at any general meeting of shareholders of Indosat. Shareholders appoint members of the Board of Directors for a period commencing from the date of the general meeting of shareholders that appointed them and ending at the closing of the 5th annual general meeting of shareholders subsequent to the date of their appointment.

An annual general meeting of shareholders must be held, at the latest, on June 30 of each year. At such annual general meeting, the Directors must (i) report on the affairs and management of Indosat and the results for the most recent financial year; (ii) submit the audited balance sheet and audited profit and loss statement for such financial year to the meeting for approval; (iii) determine the plan for use of profit and the amount of dividend for such financial year; (iv) submit a request for the appointment of a public accountant; and (v) submit all other matters to be addressed at the meeting. In addition, the Board of Commissioners should also report their supervisory activities during the proceeding fiscal year as stipulated in the annual report. All materials described in (i) through (v) will be made available at Indosat for inspection by shareholders from the date of the invitation for the annual general meeting of shareholders until the date of the annual general meeting of shareholders. Proposals duly submitted by shareholders representing at least 10.0% of Indosat’s subscribed shares may be included in the agenda of such meeting, provided that such proposals are received by the Board of Directors at least 21 days prior to such meeting.

The Board of Directors or the Board of Commissioners may convene an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders and must convene such a meeting upon receipt of written notice from a shareholder or shareholders representing at least 10.0% of the subscribed shares of Indosat. Upon receipt of such written notice, within 22 days of the date such written notice is accepted, the Board of Directors shall discuss, resolve, and if the Board of Directors have resolved to convene such extraordinary meeting of shareholders, the Board of Directors shall announce notice of the extraordinary meeting of shareholders at the latest 14 days prior to the invitation of the extraordinary meeting of shareholders without counting the announcement date and the invitation date. No later than 14 days prior to the extraordinary meeting of shareholders, without counting the invitation date and the meeting date, the Board of Directors shall announce invitation to the extraordinary meeting of shareholders. If the Directors fail to provide notice of such a meeting, the shareholders concerned can re-submit their notice to the Board of Commissioners. Upon receipt of such notice, within 22 days of the date such notice is accepted, the Board of Commissioners shall discuss, resolve, and if the Board of Commissioners have resolved to convene such extraordinary meeting of shareholders, the Board of Commissioners shall announce notice to the extraordinary meeting of shareholders at the latest 14 days (excluding notification date and invitation date) prior to the invitation of the extraordinary meeting of shareholders. No later than 14 days prior to the extraordinary meeting of shareholders, without counting the invitation date and the meeting date, the Board of Commissioners shall announce invitation to the extraordinary meeting of shareholders. If the Board of Commissioners fails to make notice of the extraordinary meeting of shareholders within 22 days as of the receipt of such request, the shareholders concerned may call such meeting at the expense of Indosat after obtaining approval from the Chairman of District Court.

Announcement of a general meeting is given to shareholders at least 14 days (excluding notification date and invitation date) prior to the notice for the general meeting by an advertisement in at least two daily newspapers (one in the Indonesian language and one in the English language), one of which has a wide circulation in Indonesia. Notice must be given by placement of advertisement in at least two daily newspapers, one of which is in the Indonesian language and has a wide circulation in Indonesia and one of which is in the English language at least 14 days before the date of the annual general meeting or extraordinary general meeting, excluding the date of the notice and the date of the meeting.

If all shareholders are present and/or represented, notice requirements may be waived and the general meeting of shareholders may adopt binding resolutions.

Generally, the quorum for a general meeting of shareholders requires shareholders representing more than 50.0% of the issued shares of common stock to be represented in person or by a power of attorney at such meeting.

Table of Contents

Shareholders may be represented at a general meeting of shareholders by a person holding a power of attorney, but no Commissioner, Director or employee of Indosat may act in such capacity. Unless otherwise provided in the Articles, and subject to the special voting rights of the Special Share, resolutions in order to be adopted must receive the affirmative vote of the holders of more than 50.0% of the shares of common stock which are present and being voted at the meeting (simple majority votes).

Fiscal Year and Accounts

Our fiscal year commences on January 1 and ends on December 31.

No later than 90 days from the closing of the fiscal year, the Board of Directors must submit the balance sheet, profit and loss account and other financial statements audited by a public accountant to the Board of Commissioners, who must review these statements and report on this review to the general meeting of shareholders. Copies of such documents must be available at the head office of Indosat from the date of notice for the annual general meeting of shareholders up to the date of closing of the annual general meeting of shareholders.

The annual general meeting of shareholders will consider and decide whether or not the balance sheet and profit and loss account of Indosat is approved. Such approval fully discharges the Board of Directors and the Board of Commissioners from their responsibilities during the fiscal year concerned to the extent that such actions are reflected in such balance sheet and profit and loss account.

Utilization of Profit and Dividends

The profit of Indosat, as determined by the annual general meeting of shareholders, after deduction of corporate tax, must be used as a reserve fund, for dividends and for other purposes, the percentage of which must be determined annually by a general meeting of shareholders.

Dividends are paid in accordance with a resolution adopted at a general meeting of shareholders, upon the recommendation of the Board of Directors, which resolution also determines the time and manner of payment of the dividends. All shares of common stock which are fully paid and outstanding at the time a dividend or other distribution is declared are entitled to share equally in such dividends or other distribution. Dividends are payable to the persons whose names are entered in the register of shareholders of Indosat, on a business day determined by the general meeting of shareholders at which the resolution for the distribution of dividends is adopted.

The Board of Directors and the Board of Commissioners may, by resolutions of both, declare interim dividends if the financial condition of Indosat so permits, provided that such interim dividends are offset against the dividends to be declared at the subsequent annual general meeting.

Dividends unclaimed after five years from the date of which they are payable cease to be payable and are to be credited to the reserve fund of Indosat. Notices concerning dividends and interim dividends must be announced in a at least two daily newspapers in the Indonesian language with wide or national circulation in Indonesia, in one daily newspaper in the English language and on the stock exchange where the shares are listed.

If the profit and loss account in one fiscal year shows a loss which cannot be covered by the reserve fund referred to below, the loss remains recorded as such in the profit and loss account and for the succeeding years Indosat is deemed not to have made a profit if the loss recorded as such in the profit and loss account has not been fully covered.

To cover future losses, a reserve fund may be created and the amount of the reserve fund will be determined by a general meeting of shareholders. The reserve fund may be used for capital outlays or other purposes as determined at the annual general meeting of shareholders. However, it must only be used for the benefit of Indosat. Any profits earned from such reserve fund shall be entered in the profit and loss account of Indosat.

Liquidation

In the event that we go into liquidation, the Board of Directors will act as liquidator if required by the prevailing regulations. The balance of any liquidation account which is set up, after payment of all our debts and obligations, will be used to pay all of our shares. If possible, payment on these shares shall be made at a price written on the share certificates. The remaining balance of the liquidation account shall be distributed according to resolutions of the general meeting of shareholders.

Amendments to the Articles of Association

Amendments to our Articles of Association may be made only by a resolution of an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders attended by at least two-thirds of the shareholders and approved by more than two-thirds of the shareholders with voting rights, provided that (i) increases in our share capital without pre-emptive rights, (ii) merger, consolidation, acquisition and demerger involving us, (iii) dissolution and liquidation, (iv) amendments to the Articles of Association related to our purposes and objectives and the Series A holder’s veto rights can be affected only if the meeting is attended and the action approved by the holder of the Series A share.

A resolution regarding a reduction of the authorized or subscribed capital must be published by the Board of Directors in at least two daily newspapers, one of which is in the Indonesian language having a national circulation, and the other in the English language, for the benefit of creditors within the period at the latest of seven days after the date of the general meeting of shareholders. In case a quorum for the extraordinary general meeting is not reached, within ten to twenty-one days from the original extraordinary general meeting a second meeting may be held to decide on matters which were not resolved at the first meeting. The second meeting can result in a valid and binding decision if attended by at least three-fifths of the shareholders and be approved by more than half of the shareholders with voting rights. Amendments related to a reduction of capital only become effective upon the approval of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights of Indonesia.

Transactions with Affiliates

It is the policy of Indosat not to enter into transaction with affiliates unless the terms thereof are no less favorable to Indosat than those which could be obtained by Indosat on an arm’s length basis from an unaffiliated third party.

Under BAPEPAM-LK regulations and Article 19 of our Articles of Association, any transaction in which there is a conflict of interest (as defined below) must be approved by a majority of the shareholders of common stock who do not have a conflict of interest in the proposed transaction, unless the conflict existed before Indosat was listed and was fully disclosed in the offering documents. A conflict of interest is defined in BAPEPAM-LK Rule No. IX.E.1 to mean the difference between Indosat’s interests, on the one hand, and the personal economic interests of the members of our Board of Commissioners, Board of Directors or our majority shareholders (a holder of 20.0% or more of our issued shares) of Indosat in one transaction which may impose losses on us . A conflict of interest also exists under BAPEPAM-LK rules when members of the Board of Commissioners, Board of Directors or a controlling shareholder of Indosat is involved in a transaction in which their personal interests may be in conflict with the interest of Indosat, unless otherwise excepted by BAPEPAM-LK regulations.

We expect, in light of the substantial presence which enterprises owned or controlled by the Government or Qtel Asia or one of their affiliates have in Indonesia, that it may be desirable, in connection with the development and growth of our business, for us to enter into joint ventures or other arrangements or transactions with such enterprise from time to time. Under such circumstances, we may seek to consult BAPEPAM-LK in determining whether the proposed joint venture, arrangement or transaction would require a vote of disinterested shareholders under the terms of the BAPEPAM-LK rule. If BAPEPAM-LK were of the view that the proposed joint venture, arrangement or transaction would not require a vote of disinterested shareholders under its rule, we would

 

120

proceed without seeking disinterested shareholder approval. If, however, BAPEPAM-LK were to take the position that the proposal would require a vote of disinterested shareholders under its rule, we would either seek to obtain the requisite disinterested shareholder approval or abandon the proposal.

Exchange Controls

See “Item 3: Key Information—Foreign Exchange” included elsewhere in this annual report.

Taxation

The following summary contains a description of the principal Indonesian and U.S. federal tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of ADSs or shares of common stock. This summary does not purport to be a competitive description of all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to purchase, own or dispose of ADSs or shares of common stock. PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS ABOUT THE INDONESIAN AND U.S. FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF ADSs OR SHARES OF COMMON STOCK.

Indonesian Taxation

The following is a summary of the principal Indonesian tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of common stock or ADSs to a non-resident individual or non-resident entity that holds common stock or ADSs (a “Non-Indonesian Holder”). As used in the preceding sentence, a “non-resident individual” is a foreign national individual who is not physically present in Indonesia for 183 days or more during any twelve-month period or present for any period with the intent to reside in Indonesia, during which period such non-resident individual receives income in respect of the ownership or disposition of common stock or ADSs, and a “non-resident entity” is a corporation or a non-corporate body that is established, domiciled or organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than Indonesia and does not have a fixed place of business or otherwise conducts business or carries out activities through a permanent establishment in Indonesia during an Indonesian tax year in which such non-Indonesian entity receives income in respect of the ownership or disposition of common stock or ADSs. In determining the residency of an individual or entity, consideration will be given to the provisions of any applicable double taxation treaty to which Indonesia is a party.

Dividends. Dividends declared by us out of retained earnings and distributed to a Non-Indonesian Holder in respect of common stock or ADSs are subject to Indonesian withholding tax, currently at the rate of 20.0%, on the amount of the distribution (in the case of cash dividends) or on the shareholders’ proportional share of the

 

123


Table of Contents

value of the distribution. A lower rate provided under double taxation treaties may be applicable provided the recipient is the beneficial owner of the dividend and has provided to us (with a copy to the Indonesian Office of Tax Services where we are registered) a certificate of tax domicile issued by the competent authority, or its designee, of the jurisdiction where the Non-Indonesian Holder is domiciled. Indonesia has concluded double taxation treaties with over 50 countries, including Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Malaysia, The Netherlands, Singapore, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States of America. Under the U.S.-Indonesia tax treaty, the withholding tax on dividends is generally, in the absence of a 20.0% voting interest, reduced to 15.0%.

Capital Gains. The sale or transfer of common stock listed on an Indonesian stock exchange is subject to tax at the rate of 0.1% of the value of the transaction. The broker handling the transaction is obligated to withhold such tax. The holding, sale or transfer of founder shares listed on an Indonesian stock exchange may, under current Indonesian tax regulations, be subject to an additional 0.5% final income tax. Subject to the promulgation of implementing regulations (which have not been issued to date), the estimated net income received or accrued from the sale of movable assets in Indonesia, which may include common stock not listed on an Indonesian stock exchange or ADSs, by a Non-Indonesian holder (with the exception of the sale of assets under Article 4 paragraph (2) of the Indonesian income tax law) may be subject to Indonesian withholding tax at the rate of 20.0%. However, this provision in the income tax law is not currently applied in practice. It is expected that, if and when further implementing regulations are issued in respect to this provision in the income tax law, in practice this withholding tax will (i) only be applied if common stock not listed on an Indonesian stock exchange is purchased and paid for by an Indonesian resident subject to tax or by a permanent establishment in Indonesia of a non-resident entity or individual and (ii) not affect the net proceeds from any sale or transfer of ADSs through a regular trade on the NYSE by a Non-Indonesian Holder.

In cases where a purchaser or Indonesian broker will be required under Indonesian tax laws to withhold tax on payment of the purchase price for common stock or ADSs, that payment may be exempt from Indonesian withholding or other Indonesian income tax under applicable double taxation treaties to which Indonesia is a party (including the U.S.-Indonesia double taxation treaty). However, current Indonesian tax regulations do not provide specific procedures for removing the purchaser’s or Indonesian broker’s obligation to withhold tax from the proceeds of such sale. To take advantage of the double taxation treaty relief, Non-Indonesian Holders may have to seek a refund from the Indonesian Tax Office by making a specific application accompanied by a Certificate of Domicile issued by the competent tax authority, or its designee, of the jurisdiction in which the Non-Indonesian Holder is domiciled.

Stamp Duty. Transactions in common stock in Indonesia are subject to stamp duty payable at the rate of Rp6,000 on transactions with a value of more than Rp1,000,000 and Rp3,000 on transactions with a value of between Rp250,000 to Rp1,000,000. Transactions with a value of less than Rp250,000 are not subject to stamp duty.

U.S. Federal Income Taxation

The following discussion addresses the principal U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder, as defined below, of owning ADSs or shares of common stock. The description below is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, the income tax convention between the United States and Indonesia and judicial and administrative interpretations thereof, all as in effect on the date hereof and all of which are subject to change, possibly retroactively. The tax treatment of a holder of ADSs or shares of common stock may vary depending upon the holder’s particular situation. Certain holders (including, but not limited to, insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations, financial institutions, persons subject to the alternative minimum tax, broker-dealers, persons that have a “functional currency” other than the U.S. dollar, persons that received ADSs or shares of common stock as compensation for services, persons owning, directly or indirectly, 10.0% or more of our voting shares, and persons who hold ADSs or shares of common stock as part of a “hedge,” “straddle” or “conversion transaction” within the meaning of Sections 1221, 1092 and 1258 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder) may be subject to special rules not

 

124


Table of Contents

discussed below. Except as discussed below with regard to persons who are not U.S. Holders, the following summary is limited to U.S. Holders who will hold ADSs or shares of common stock as “capital assets” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code. The discussion below does not address the effect of any state or local tax law on a holder of ADSs or shares of common stock.

As used herein, the term “U.S. Holder” means a holder of ADSs or shares of common stock that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes (i) a citizen or resident of the United States; (ii) a corporation (including any entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia; (iii) an estate whose income is subject to U.S. taxation regardless of its source; (iv) a trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust; or (v) a holder whose income in respect of the ADSs or shares of common stock is subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis.

If a partnership or other entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds ADSs or shares of common stock, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A U.S. Holder that is a partner in a partnership holding ADSs or shares of common stock is urged to consult its own tax advisor.

The summary below does not discuss all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to a particular holder of ADSs or shares of common stock in light of the holder’s particular circumstances and income tax situation. Prospective holders should consult their own tax advisors as to the specific tax consequences to them of the purchase, ownership and disposition of ADSs or shares of common stock, including the application and the effect of state, local, foreign and other tax laws and the possible effects of changes in United States or other tax laws.

Taxation of Distributions. Subject to the discussion under “Passive Foreign Investment Company Status” below, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the amount of a distribution with respect to ADSs or shares of common stock (including any withholding tax deemed to be imposed with respect to such distributions) will be treated as a dividend taxable as ordinary income on the date of receipt by the Depositary or the holder, respectively, to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Distributions, if any, in excess of such current and accumulated earnings and profits will first constitute a non-taxable return of capital to the extent thereof, and then as a capital gain realized on the disposition of the ADSs or shares of common stock. The portion of any distribution treated as a non-taxable return of capital will reduce such holder’s adjusted tax basis in such ADSs or shares of common stock. Such capital gain will be long-term if the ADSs or shares of common stock have been held longer than one year. U.S. Holders will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction otherwise allowed under the Code for distributions to domestic corporations in respect of distributions on the ADSs or common stock.

For taxable years beginning before January 1, 2013, “qualified dividend income” received by an individual is subject to federal income taxation at rates lower than those applicable to other types of ordinary income. Based upon our existing and anticipated future operations and current assets, we believe that we are a “qualified foreign corporation” and that our dividends paid to U.S. Holders who are individuals will be eligible to be treated as “qualified dividend income” provided that applicable holding period requirements with respect to the ADSs or common stock and other applicable requirements are satisfied by such U.S. Holders. Dividends paid by a foreign corporation that is classified as a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, are not “qualified dividend income.” See “—Passive Foreign Investment Company Status” below.

If a distribution is paid in any currency other than U.S. dollars, the amount of the distribution will be translated into U.S. dollars at the spot rate on the date the distribution is received (which for holders of ADSs, would be the date such dividend is received by the Depositary), regardless of whether the distributions are in fact converted into U.S. dollars on that date. Any gain or loss in respect of such non-U.S. currency arising from exchange rate fluctuations after that date will be ordinary income or loss.

Taxation of Capital Gains and Losses. Subject to the discussion under “Passive Foreign Investment Company Status” below, a U.S. Holder will generally recognize a taxable gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other disposition of ADSs or shares of common stock in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition and such holder’s adjusted tax basis in such ADSs or shares of common stock. This will result in a long-term or short-term capital gain or loss, depending on whether the ADSs or shares of common stock have been held for more than one year. For non-corporate U.S. Holders, the U.S. income tax rate applicable to the net long-term capital gain recognized for a year upon a sale, exchange or other disposition of ADSs or shares of common stock is currently 15.0% for taxable years beginning before January 1, 2013. Deposit and withdrawal of common stock in exchange for ADSs by a U.S. Holder will not result in a realization of gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Status. Special U.S. federal income tax rules apply to a U.S. Holder that holds an equity interest in a PFIC. In general, a foreign corporation will constitute a PFIC for any taxable year for United States federal income tax purposes if 75.0% or more of its gross income for such taxable year consists of passive income (generally, interest, dividend, rents, royalties and net gain from the disposition of assets that give rise to such income) or 50.0% or more of its average assets held during such taxable year consist of assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income.

Based upon our existing and anticipated future operations and current assets, we believe that we are not, and anticipate that we will not become in the foreseeable future, a PFIC. If we are not operated in the manner currently anticipated, however, we may be considered a PFIC for the current or for a subsequent year depending upon our actual activities. Furthermore, because PFIC status is determined on a year-by-year basis and depends upon the composition of a company’s income and assets and the market value of its assets from time to time, there can be no assurance that we will not be considered a PFIC for any taxable year.

If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds ADSs or shares of common stock, such U.S. Holder will be subject to special tax rules with respect to any “excess distribution” received and any gain realized from a sale or other disposition, including a pledge, of ADSs or shares of common stock. Distributions received in a taxable year that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received during the shorter of the three preceding taxable years or such U.S. Holder’s holding period for ADSs or shares of common stock will be treated as excess distributions. Under these special tax rules: (a) the excess distribution or gain will be allocated rateably over such U.S. Holder’s holding period for ADSs or shares of common stock, (b) the amount allocated to the current taxable year, and any taxable year prior to the first taxable year in which we were a PFIC, will be treated as ordinary income, and (c) the amount allocated to each other year will generate an additional tax that is due for the current taxable year and that is equal to the total, for each such other year, of (i) the amount allocated to such year multiplied by the highest tax rate in effect for such year and (ii) an amount equal to the interest charge that would have been imposed for underpaying that amount of tax for such year.

An election may be available to avoid these adverse tax consequences if certain conditions are met and the U.S. Holder elects to annually mark-to-market the ADSs or shares of common stock. Furthermore, although a PFIC shareholder may mitigate the rules described above by electing to treat a PFIC as a “qualified electing fund” under Section 1295 of the Code, this option is not available to U.S. Holders because we do not intend to comply with the requirements necessary to permit a U.S. Holder to make this election.

U.S. Holders are advised to consult their tax advisors concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding the ADSs or shares of common stock and of making the mark-to-market election if we are considered a PFIC in any taxable year. A U.S. Holder who owns ADSs or shares of common stock during any year that we are a PFIC must file with the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, Form 8621.

Foreign Tax Credit Considerations. For United States federal income tax purposes, U.S. Holders will be treated as having received the amount of any Indonesian tax withheld upon the payment of a dividend and as then

 

126


Table of Contents

having paid over the withheld taxes to Indonesia. As a result of this rule, the amount of dividend included in a U.S. Holder’s gross income may be greater than the amount of cash actually received (or receivable) by the U.S. Holder.

Subject to the limitations and conditions set forth in the Code, U.S. Holders may elect to claim a credit against their U.S. federal income tax liability for Indonesian tax withheld from dividends or Indonesian tax imposed on capital gains, if any, or, if they do not elect to credit any foreign tax for the taxable year, they may deduct such tax. For purposes of the foreign tax credit limitation, dividends and capital gains will, depending on a U.S. Holder’s particular circumstances, generally constitute “passive” or “general” income. Furthermore, dividends will generally constitute foreign source income and currency gains and capital gains will generally constitute U.S. source income. Capital loss will generally be allocated against U.S. source income. Because capital gains will generally constitute U.S. source income, as a result of the U.S. foreign tax credit limitation, any Indonesian or other foreign tax imposed upon capital gains in respect of ADSs or shares of common stock may not be currently creditable unless a U.S. Holder had other foreign source income for the year in the appropriate foreign tax credit limitation basket or an election to treat such gain as foreign source income is available. Investors are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit under their particular circumstances.

Non-U.S. Holders. Except for the possible imposition of U.S. backup withholding tax (see “—U.S. Backup Withholding and Information Reporting”), payments of any dividend on an ADS or share of common stock to a holder who is not a U.S. Holder (a “non-U.S. Holder”) will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax and gain from the sale, redemption or other disposition of an ADS or a shares of common stock, provided that:

 

  a.

the non-U.S. Holder shall not be or have been engaged in a trade or business in the United States;

 

  b.

there is no present or former connection between such non-U.S. Holder and the United States, including, without limitation, such non-U.S. Holder’s status as a former citizen thereof or former resident thereof; and

 

  c.

in the case of a gain from the sale, redemption or other disposition of an ADS or share of common stock by an individual, the non-U.S. Holder is not present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the sale or certain other conditions are met.

If dividends, gain or income with respect to an ADS or share of common stock of a non-U.S. Holder is effectively connected with the conduct of such trade or business (or attributable to a permanent establishment in the United States, in the case of a holder who is a resident of a country which has an income tax treaty with the United States), the non-U.S. Holder may be subject to U.S. income taxes on such dividend, gain or income at the statutory rates provided for U.S. Holders after deduction of deductible expenses allocable to such effectively connected income. In addition, if such a non-U.S. Holder is a foreign corporation, it may be subject to a branch profits tax currently equal to 30.0% of its effectively connected earnings and profits for the taxable year, as adjusted for certain items, unless a lower rate applies under a United States income tax treaty with the non-U.S. Holder’s country of residence. For this purpose, dividends, gain or income in respect of an ADS or share of common stock will be included in earnings and profits subject to the branch profits tax if the dividend, gain or income is effectively connected with the conduct of the United States trade or business of the non-U.S. Holder.

U.S. Backup Withholding and Information Reporting. Payments made by a U.S. paying agent or other U.S. intermediary broker in respect of ADSs or shares of common stock may be subject to information reporting to the IRS and to a backup withholding tax. Backup withholding will not apply, however, (i) to a holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes any other required certification or (ii) to a holder who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding.

Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules from a payment to a holder will be allowed as a refund or a credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax, provided that the holder has complied with applicable reporting obligations.

Information with Respect to Foreign Financial Assets. Under recently enacted legislation, individuals that own “specified foreign financial assets” with an aggregate value in excess of $50,000 in taxable years beginning after March 18, 2010 will generally be required to file an information report with respect to such assets with their tax returns. “Specified foreign financial assets” include any financial accounts maintained by certain foreign financial institutions, as well as any of the following, but only if they are not held in accounts maintained by financial institutions: (i) stocks and securities issued by non-US persons, (ii) financial instruments and contracts held for investment that have non-U.S. issuers or counterparties and (iii) interests in foreign entities. U.S. holders that are individuals are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of this legislation to their ownership of ADSs or shares of common stock.

Item 11: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks primarily from changes in interest rates, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and equity price risk on the value of our long-term investments. To manage our foreign exchange and interest rate risks, we have entered into interest rate swap contracts, cross currency swap contracts and other transactions aimed at reducing and/or managing the adverse impact of changes in foreign exchange and interest rates on our operating results and cash flows. We enter into such transactions to minimize risk without engaging in speculative practices. We account for these instruments as transactions not designated as hedges, wherein changes in the fair value are charged or credited directly as expenses or income for the relevant year. We also convert surplus Indonesian rupiah funds to U.S. dollars on a regular basis in amounts necessary to meet our U.S. dollar expenses.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

As of December 31, 2010, most of our debt outstanding was at fixed rates. The following table provides information regarding our financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. For long-term debt and bonds payable, the table presents principal cash flows and related interest rates by expected maturity dates. The information presented in the table has been determined based on the following assumptions: (i) variable interest rates in time deposits denominated in U.S. dollar and Indonesian rupiah are based on the available interest rate in 2010; (ii) interest rates for long-term deposits denominated in Indonesian rupiah are based on one-month Certificate of Bank Indonesia and three month JIBOR on December 2010 plus a margin; and (iii) interest rates for long-term debts in U.S. dollars are based on provisions in the various agreements. However, we cannot assure you that such assumptions will be correct for future periods. Such assumptions and the information described in the table may be influenced by a number of factors, including increases in interest rates in Indonesia resulting from continued tight liquidity and other monetary and macroeconomic factors affecting Indonesia.

In addition, as of December 31, 2010, we held U.S. dollar-denominated and Indonesian rupiah-denominated deposits, which also have exposure to interest rate fluctuations.

Exchange Rate Sensitivity

Our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations results primarily from U.S. dollar long-term debt obligations, bonds payable and accounts receivable and payable.

Our accounts payable are primarily foreign currency net settlement payments to foreign telecommunications operators, while most of our accounts receivable are Indonesian rupiah-denominated payments from domestic operators. During the period between January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2010, the Indonesian rupiah/U.S. dollar exchange rate ranged from a low of Rp12,151 per U.S. dollar to a high of Rp8,924 per U.S. dollar, and, during 2010, ranged from a low of Rp9,365 per U.S. dollar to a high of Rp8,888 per U.S. dollar. On December 31, 2010, the prevailing Bank Indonesia exchange rate was Rp8,991 per U.S. dollar. As a result, we recorded a loss on foreign exchange-net of Rp885.7 billion in 2008, a gain of Rp1,656.4 billion in 2009 and a gain of Rp492.4 billion (US$54.8 million) in 2010.

The following table provides information about our financial instruments by functional currency and presents such information in Indonesian rupiah equivalents, which is our reporting currency. The table summarizes information on instruments and transactions that are sensitive to foreign exchange rates, including term deposits, accounts payable and receivable, and our financial instruments including term deposits, account receivable and account payable, and their long term debt. The table presents principal cash flows by expected maturity dates.

Table of Contents

The information presented in the table has been determined based on assumptions that the exchange rate for U.S. dollars is based on the Indonesian Central Bank Rate on December 31, 2010 of Rp8,991 per US$1.00. However, we cannot assure you that such assumptions will be correct for future periods. Such assumptions and the information described in the table may be influenced by a number of factors, including a further depreciation of the Indonesian rupiah in future periods.

Equity Price Risk

Our long-term investments consist primarily of minority investments in the equity of private Indonesian companies and equity of foreign companies. With respect to the Indonesian companies in which we have investments, the financial performance of such companies may be adversely affected by economic conditions in Indonesia.

Foreign Currency Swap Contracts

As of December 31, 2010, we maintained foreign currency swap contracts that we entered between 2005 and 2008. From 2008 to 2009, we settled the remainder of our structured currency forward contracts with three separate international financial institutions. As of December 31, 2010, we had hedging facilities amounting to US$275.0 million, representing 17.9% of our U.S. dollar-denominated bonds and loans as of December 31, 2010.

As of December 31, 2010, we have outstanding foreign currency contracts under which we agreed to pay Indonesian rupiah in exchange for the counterparty’s obligation to pay U.S. dollars, based upon agreed spot rates. However, in the event that the Indonesian rupiah appreciates against the U.S. dollar, we would recognize losses on such transactions, which could have a material and adverse effect on our financial condition.

Interest Rate Swap Contracts

As of December 31, 2010, we maintained interest rate swap contracts that we entered into between 2008 to 2009 with respect to US$478.3 million in aggregate in which we agreed to make fixed interest rate payments in exchange for a six-month U.S. dollar LIBOR-linked floating rate plus either 0.35%, 1.45% or 1.85% per annum in order to hedge the interest rate risks on our HSBC Sinosure and HSBC Commercial satellite financing agreements and our ING/DBS Syndicated Loan, respectively.

Item 12: DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES OTHER THAN EQUITY SECURITIES

Fees and Charges Our American Depositary Shares (ADS) Holders May Have to Pay

The Bank of New York Mellon, the depositary of our ADS program, charges the following to any party depositing or withdrawing ordinary shares or any party surrendering ADRs or to whom ADRs are issued, whichever applicable, pursuant to the deposit agreement with the depositary: (1) taxes and other governmental charges, (2) registration fees as may from time to time be in effect for the registration of transfers of shares, (3) cable, telex and facsimile transmission expenses as are expressly provided in the deposit agreement to be at the expense of persons depositing shares or owners, (4) expenses incurred by the depositary in the conversion of foreign currency pursuant to the deposit agreement, (5) a fee not in excess of $5.00 per 100 ADSs (or portion thereof) for the execution and delivery of ADSs and the surrender of ADSs and, (6) a fee for the distribution of proceeds of sales of securities or rights pursuant to the deposit agreement, respectively, in an amount equal to the fee for the issuance of ADSs referred to above which would have been charged as a result of the deposit by owners of shares received in exercise of rights distributed to them pursuant to the deposit agreement, respectively, but which securities or rights are instead sold by the depositary and the net proceeds distributed. Under the deposit agreement, the depositary collects such fees by deducting those fees from the amounts distributed or by selling a portion of distributable property to pay the fees.

Fees to be made by the Depositary to Us

The depositary has agreed to reimburse certain of our expenses related to our ADS program and incurred by us in connection with the program.

PART II

Item 13: DEFAULTS, DIVIDEND ARREARAGES AND DELINQUENCIES

Following the Asian financial crisis and the related devaluation of the Indonesian rupiah against the U.S. dollar in late 1997, Satelindo defaulted on its debt obligations in 1998. Satelindo restructured its debt obligations in 2000. Immediately prior to the restructuring, Satelindo had a total principal amount of indebtedness of US$530.5 million, of which US$519.1 million was restructured. As of December 31, 2010, neither we nor our subsidiaries had a material default relating to our outstanding indebtedness.

Item 14: MATERIAL MODIFICATIONS TO THE RIGHTS OF SECURITY HOLDERS AND USE OF PROCEEDS

None.

Item 15: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of December 31, 2010, or the Evaluation Date, our management, including our President Director and Finance Director, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13(a)-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, we concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President Director and Finance Director, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

As required by section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our system of internal control over financial reporting was designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and Audit Committee of the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of published financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our Board of Directors conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010 based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework, which is issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our Board of Directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Based on this criteria, our management concluded that, as of December 31, 2010, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures which may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions.

Purwantono, Suherman & Surja, a member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited, the independent registered public accounting firm, has audited our consolidated financial statements included in this annual report and has issued an attestation report on internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010. This attestation report is set forth on page 3 of our consolidated financial statements attached hereto.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this annual report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 16A: AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT

The Board of Commissioners has determined that each of George Thia Peng Heok and Kanaka Puradiredja constitute an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined in Item 16A of Form 20-F, and that such person is also “independent,” as defined in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. For more information about George Thia Peng Heok, see “Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees—Directors and Senior Management—Board of Commissioners.”

Item 16B: CODE OF ETHICS

We have adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to all employees, including our Board of Directors. We have posted this Code of Ethics on our website at www.indosat.com, where it is publicly available. A copy of our Code of Ethics was filed as Exhibit 11.1 to our annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. We have issued a Guide to the implementation of PT Indosat Tbk’s Code of Ethics on November 20, 2010 as a reiteration of the Board of Directors Decree No.002/DIREKSI/2007 on the Code of Ethics.

(1) 

Audit fees represent fees for professional services provided for the financial audit of our financial statements and of our subsidiaries, PT Indosat Mega Media, PT Aplikanusa Lintasarta, PT Starone Mitra Telekomunikasi and PT Artajasa Pembayaran Elektronis and our internal control audit and attestation services in compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

(2) 

Audit-related fees in 2008, 2009 and 2010 primarily consist of fees for performing limited reviews of our interim financial information including those of our subsidiaries and for performing services in connection with our bond issuances in 2008, 2009 and 2010.

(3) 

Tax fees represent fees for professional services related to tax compliance and tax planning / advisory consultation.

(4) 

All other fees represent professional services provided for services not directly supporting financial statement audits.

 

135


Table of Contents

These professional services are covered within the scope of audit services as defined by the Commission’s regulations.

In June 2004, the Audit Committee adopted a policy pursuant to which all audit and non-audit services must be pre-approved by the Audit Committee. Under no circumstances may our principal external auditors provide services that are prohibited by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or rules issued thereunder. Non-prohibited audit-related services may be provided to us, subject to such pre-approval process and prohibitions. The pre-approval policy relates to all services provided by our principal external auditor and does not include any pre-set fee limits that do not require pre-approval or any de minimis exception.

Item 16D: EXEMPTIONS FROM THE LISTING STANDARDS FOR AUDIT COMMITTEES

In accordance with Indonesian law, we have a two-tier board structure, consisting of a Board of Commissioners and a Board of Directors. The executive management functions are carried out by our Board of Directors, while our Board of Commissioners is principally responsible for supervising our Board of Directors in the operation and management of us and to give advice to our Board of Directors.

Under Indonesia Stock Exchange rules, our Audit Committee must consist of at least three members, one of whom must be an independent commissioner and concurrently the chairman of the Audit Committee, while the other two members must be external independent parties of whom at least one such party shall have accounting and/or finance expertise. Our Audit Committee is composed of five members and is chaired by one of our Independent Commissioners. Members of our Audit Committee are appointed and dismissed by our Board of Commissioners.

New listing rules adopted pursuant to Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act require a foreign private issuer with securities listed on the NYSE to have an audit committee comprised of independent directors. The rules became effective on July 31, 2005. Under Rule 10A-3(c)(3), foreign private issuers are exempt from such independence requirements if (i) the home country government or stock exchange requires the company to have an audit committee; (ii) the audit committee is separate from the board of directors or has members from both inside and outside the board of directors; (iii) the audit committee members are not elected by the management and no executive officer of the company is a member of the audit committee; (iv) the home country government or stock exchange has requirements for an audit committee independent from the management of the company; and (v) the audit committee is responsible for the appointment, retention and oversight of the work of external auditors. We rely on the general exemption under Rule 10A-3(c)(3) of the Exchange Act with respect to the composition of our Audit Committee as set forth in our Section 303A.11 website disclosure, which is made publicly available on our website, www.indosat.com.

We believe our reliance on the exemption would not materially or adversely affect the ability of our Audit Committee to act independently. We also believe the intent of such provisions are meant to ensure that the Audit Committee is independent from influence by management and would provide a forum separate from management in which auditors and other interested parties can candidly discuss concerns. The Indonesia Stock Exchange rules require that each member of the Audit Committee be independent. The rules also require that at least two of the members of the Audit Committee be external independent members, which means that they must be independent of not only the Board of Directors but also the Board of Commissioners and us as a whole. Accordingly, we believe the standard established by the Indonesia Stock Exchange rules are at least equally effective in ensuring the ability of our Audit Committee to act independently.

Table of Contents

Item 16F: CHANGE IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT

There were no changes in or disagreements with our accountants on any matter of accounting principle, practice or financial disclosure during the last two fiscal years.

Item 16G: CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

We are incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Indonesia and the principal trading market for our ordinary shares is the IDX. Our ordinary shares are registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and are listed on the NYSE. As such, we are subject to certain corporate governance requirements.

Our home country requirements for corporate governance are embodied primarily in Law No. 40 of 2007 on Limited Liability Companies, Law No. 8 of 1995 on Capital Markets, the Regulations of the Indonesian Capital Market and Financial Institution Supervisory Board, or the BAPEPAM-LK Regulations, and the rules issued by the Indonesian stock exchanges, namely the IDX. In addition to these statutory requirements, our Articles of Association incorporate provisions directing certain corporate governance practices.

However, many of the corporate governance rules contained in the NYSE Listed Company Manual, or the NYSE listing standards, are not required for “foreign private issuers” and we are permitted to follow our home country corporate governance practices in lieu of most corporate governance standards contained in the NYSE listing standards. Although we have complied voluntarily with most of the corporate governance rules contained in the NYSE listing standards, there are certain important differences between our corporate governance standards and those standards applicable to U.S. companies listed on the NYSE which are described below.

Audit Committee

The NYSE listing standards require NYSE-listed companies to maintain an audit committee comprised of at least three members satisfying the requirements for independence set forth in Section 303A.02. Pursuant to BAPEPAM-LK Regulations, public companies in Indonesia must maintain audit committees comprised of at least one independent commissioner and two members from outside the company. Our Audit Committee consists of five members, three of whom are Independent Commissioners and two of whom are independent outsiders, as required by BAPEPAM-LK Regulations.

Unlike the requirements set forth in the NYSE listing standards, our Audit Committee does not have direct responsibility for the appointment, retention and compensation of our external auditor. Our Audit Committee can only recommend the appointment of the external auditor to the Board of Commissioners, and the Board of Commissioner’s decision is subject to shareholder approval as required by Indonesian law. A copy of our Audit Committee’s written charter can be found on our website at www.indosat.com and is attached hereto as Exhibit 15.14.

Composition of Board of Directors; Nominating Committee

The NYSE listing standards require that the board of directors of an NYSE-listed company consist of a majority of independent directors and that a nominating committee be established. We have a dual board structure, with a separate Board of Directors and Board of Commissioners, separating the powers of management (exercised by the Board of Directors) from those of supervision (exercised by the Board of Commissioners). As such, when the NYSE listing standards apply corporate governance principles to the directors of a NYSE-listed company, we evaluate our practices with reference to our Commissioners. As required by BAPEPAM-LK Regulations and IDX rules, our ten-member Board of Commissioners maintains a minimum of at least three independent members. Further, we do not have a nominating committee. At meetings of our shareholders, our shareholders nominate and elect persons to our Board of Commissioners.

 

137


Table of Contents

Pursuant to the NYSE listing standards, directors of NYSE-listed companies must meet at regularly-scheduled executive sessions without management. Neither the BAPEPAM-LK Regulations nor IDX rules require us to hold such executive sessions where the Board of Commissioners meets without any Directors present. In the past, our Board of Commissioners, which is entirely composed of non-management persons, has met in executive session periodically, in addition to the customary presentation of information by our Board of Directors to the Board of Commissioners. In early 2005, we instituted procedures by which our Board of Commissioners started meeting in executive sessions at the end of each regularly-scheduled meeting, which currently occur at least on a quarterly basis.

Compensation Committee

The NYSE listing standards require NYSE-listed companies to maintain a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s performance and responsibilities as well as requiring an annual performance evaluation. Our Remuneration Committee currently has three members from our Board of Commissioners and has the responsibilities contained in the NYSE listing standards. However, only one commissioner of the three committee members is independent and its written charter does not provide for an annual performance evaluation of the Remuneration Committee. A copy of our Remuneration Committee’s written charter can be found on our website at www.indosat.com.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Report No. RPC-1030/PSS/2011

The Stockholders and Boards of Commissioners and Directors

PT Indosat Tbk

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of PT Indosat Tbk (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries as of January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2009 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of PT Indosat Tbk and its subsidiaries as of January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2009 and 2010, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

As discussed in Note 2.g to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for leases effective January 1, 2010.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), PT Indosat Tbk and its subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated April 20, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Report No. RPC-1031/PSS/2011

The Stockholders and Boards of Commissioners and Directors

PT Indosat Tbk

We have audited PT Indosat Tbk (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on PT Indosat Tbk and its subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company, (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company, and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, PT Indosat Tbk and its subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated statements of financial position of PT Indosat Tbk and its subsidiaries as of January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2009 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, and our report dated April 20, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

1. GENERAL

a. Company’s Establishment

PT Indosat Tbk (“the Company”) was established in the Republic of Indonesia on November 10, 1967 within the framework of the Indonesian Foreign Investment Law No. 1 of 1967 based on the notarial deed No. 55 of Mohamad Said Tadjoedin, S.H. The deed of establishment was published in Supplement No. 24 of State Gazette No. 26 dated March 29, 1968 of the Republic of Indonesia. In 1980, the Company was sold by American Cable and Radio Corporation, an International Telephone & Telegraph subsidiary, to the Government of the Republic of Indonesia (“the Government”) and became a State-owned Company (Persero).

On February 7, 2003, the Company received the approval from the Capital Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) in its letter No. 14/V/PMA/2003 for the change of its legal status from a State-owned Company (Persero) to a Foreign Capital Investment Company. Subsequently, on March 21, 2003, the Company received the approval from the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights of the Republic of Indonesia on the amendment of its Articles of Association to reflect the change of its legal status.

The Company’s Articles of Association has been amended from time to time. The latest amendment was covered by notarial deed No. 123 dated January 28, 2010 of Aulia Taufani, S.H., (as a substitute notary of Sutjipto, S.H.) as approved in the Stockholders’ Extraordinary General Meeting held on January 28, 2010, in order to comply with the Indonesian Capital Market and Financial Institutions Supervisory Agency (BAPEPAM-LK) Rule No. IX.J.1 dated May 14, 2008 on the Principles of Articles of Association of Limited Liability Companies that Conduct Public Offering of Equity Securities and Public Companies and Rule No. IX.E.1 on Affiliate Transactions and Certain Conflict of Interests Transactions. The latest amendment of the Company’s Articles of Association has been approved by and reported to the Ministry of Law and Human Rights of the Republic of Indonesia based on its letters No. AHU-09555.AH.01.02 Year 2010 dated February 22, 2010 and No. AHU-AH.01.10-04964 dated February 25, 2010. The amendments relate to, among others, the changes in the Company’s purposes, objectives and business activities, appointment of acting President Director if the incumbent President Director is unavailable and definition of conflict of interests.

According to article 3 of its Articles of Association, the Company’s purposes and objectives are to provide telecommunications networks, telecommunications services as well as information technology and/or convergence technology services by carrying out the following main business activities:

 

  a.

To provide telecommunications networks, telecommunications services as well as information technology and/or convergence technology services, including but not limited to providing basic telephony services, multimedia services, internet telephony services for public use, interconnection internet services, internet access services, mobile telecommunications networks and fixed telecommunications networks; and

 

  b.

To engage in payment transactions and money transfer services through telecommunications networks as well as information technology and/or convergence technology.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies applied consistently in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 are as follows:

a. Basis of Consolidated Financial Statements

The consolidated financial statements are presented using the historical cost basis of accounting, except for inventories which are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value and derivative financial instruments and available-for-sale financial assets which are stated at fair value.

The consolidated statements of cash flows classify cash receipts and payments into operating, investing and financing activities. The cash flows from operating activities are presented using the direct method.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Indonesian rupiah, which is the Company’s functional and reporting currency.

b. Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the Company’s accounts and those of its subsidiaries (Note 1b).

In accordance with IAS 27 (Revised 2008), the Company prepares and presents the consolidated financial statements for a group of entities under its control.

Control is presumed to exist when the parent owns, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, more than half of the voting power of an entity. Control also exists when the parent owns half or less of the voting power of an entity when there is:

 

  a)

power over more than half of the voting rights by virtue of an agreement with other investors;

 

  b)

power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity under a statute or an agreement;

 

  c)

power to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors or equivalent governing body and control of the entity is by that board or body; or

 

  d)

power to cast the majority of votes at meetings of the board of directors or equivalent governing body and control of the entity is by that board or body.

The consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of APE (Lintasarta’s subsidiary). The accounts of APE in 2008, 2009 and 2010 were consolidated because its financial and operating policies were controlled by Lintasarta.

The accounts of IPBV, IMBV, IFB, IIFB, and ISPL were translated into rupiah amounts at the middle rates of exchange prevailing at balance sheet date for balance sheet accounts and the average rates during the year for profit or loss accounts. The resulting differences arising from the translations of the financial statements of IPBV, IMBV, IFB, IIFB, and ISPL are presented as part of “Other Components of Equity” under the Stockholders’ Equity section of the consolidated balance sheets.

Non-controlling interest in subsidiaries represents the minority stockholders’ proportionate share in the equity (including net income) of the subsidiaries which are not wholly-owned. Intergroup balances, transactions, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation.

e. Adoption of New and Revised Accounting Standards

New and amended standards and interpretations

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year, except for the following new and amended IFRS and IFRIC interpretations for financial statements beginning on or after January 1, 2010:

 

   

IFRS 2 Share-based Payment: Group Cash-settled, Share-based Payment Transactions for financial statements beginning on or after January 1, 2010

 

   

IFRS 3 Business Combinations (Revised) and IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (Amended) for financial statements beginning on or after July 1, 2009, including consequential amendments to IFRS 2, IFRS 5, IFRS 7, IAS 7,IAS 21, IAS 28, IAS 31 and IAS 39

 

   

IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement—Eligible Hedged Items effective July 1, 2009

 

   

IFRIC 17 Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners for financial statements beginning on or after July 1, 2009

 

   

Improvements to IFRSs (May 2008)

 

   

Improvements to IFRSs (April 2009)

The adoption of the standards or interpretations is described below:

IFRS 2 Share-based Payment (Revised)

The IASB issued an amendment to IFRS 2 that clarified the scope and the accounting for group cash-settled share-based payment transactions. It did not have an impact on the financial position or performance of the Companies.

IFRS 3 Business Combinations (Revised) and IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (Amended)

IFRS 3 (Revised) introduces significant changes in the accounting for business combinations occurring after becoming effective. Changes affect the valuation of non-controlling interest, the accounting for transaction costs, the initial recognition and subsequent measurement of a contingent consideration and business combinations achieved in stages. These changes will impact the amount of goodwill recognized, the reported results in the period that an acquisition occurs and future reported results.

IAS 27 (Amended) requires that a change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary (without loss of control) is accounted for as a transaction with owners in their capacity as owners. Therefore, such transactions will no longer give rise to goodwill, nor will it give rise to a gain or loss. Furthermore, the amended standard changes the accounting for losses incurred by the subsidiary as well as the loss of control of a subsidiary. The changes by IFRS 3 (Revised) and IAS 27 (Amended) affect acquisitions or loss of control of subsidiaries and transactions with non-controlling interests after January 1, 2010.

The change in accounting policy was applied prospectively and had no material impact on earnings per share.

and for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010

(Expressed in millions of rupiah and thousands of U.S. dollar, except share and tariff data)

 

IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement—Eligible Hedged Items

The amendment clarifies that an entity is permitted to designate a portion of the fair value changes or cash flow variability of a financial instrument as a hedged item. This also covers the designation of inflation as a hedged risk or portion in particular situations. The Companies have concluded that the amendment will have no impact on the financial position or performance of the Companies, as the Companies have not entered into any such hedges.

IFRIC 17 Distribution of Non-cash Assets to Owners

This interpretation provides guidance on accounting for arrangements whereby an entity distributes non-cash assets to shareholders either as a distribution of reserves or as dividends. The interpretation has no effect on either the financial position or performance of the Companies.

Improvements to IFRSs

In May 2008 and April 2009, the IASB issued omnibus of amendments to its standards, primarily with a view to removing inconsistencies and clarifying wording. There are separate transitional provisions for each standard. The adoption of the following amendments resulted in changes to accounting policies but did not have any impact on the financial position or performance of the Companies, except for the amendment on IAS 17 Leases as disclosed in Note 2g.

Issued in May 2008

 

   

IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations: clarifies that when a subsidiary is classified as held for sale, all its assets and liabilities are classified as held for sale, even when the entity remains a non-controlling interest after the sale transaction. The amendment is applied prospectively and has no impact on the financial position nor financial performance of the Companies.

Issued in April 2009

 

   

IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations: clarifies that the disclosures required in respect of non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale or discontinued operations are only those set out in IFRS 5. The disclosure requirements of other IFRSs only apply if specifically required for such non-current assets or discontinued operations. This amendment did not have an impact on the financial position or performance of the Companies.

 

   

IFRS 8 Operating Segments: clarifies that segment assets and liabilities need only be reported when those assets and liabilities are included in measures that are used by the chief operating decision maker. As the Companies’ chief operating decision maker does review segment assets and liabilities, the Companies have continued to disclose this information in Note 32.

 

   

IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows: states that only expenditure that results in recognizing an asset can be classified as a cash flow from investing activities.

 

   

IAS 36 Impairment of Assets: the amendment clarifies that the largest unit permitted for allocating goodwill, acquired in a business combination, is the operating segment as defined in IFRS 8 before aggregation for reporting purposes. The amendment has no impact on the Companies as the annual impairment test is performed before aggregation.

Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted

Standards issued but not yet effective up to the date of issuance of the Companies’ financial statements are listed below. This listing is of standards and interpretations issued, which the Companies reasonably expect to be applicable at a future date. The Companies intend to adopt those standards when they become effective.

IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures (Amendment)

The amended standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011. It clarified the definition of a related party to simplify the identification of such relationships and to eliminate inconsistencies in its application. The revised standard introduces a partial exemption of disclosure requirements for government-related entities. The Companies do not expect any impact on their financial position or performance. Early adoption is permitted for either the partial exemption for government-related entities or for the entire standard.

IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation—Classification of Rights Issues (Amendment)

The amendment to IAS 32 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after February 1, 2010 and amended the definition of a financial liability in order to classify rights issues (and certain options or warrants) as equity instruments in cases where such rights are given pro rata to all of the existing owners of the same class of an entity’s non-derivative equity instruments, or to acquire a fixed number of the entity’s own equity instruments for a fixed amount in any currency. This amendment will have no impact on the Companies after initial application.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement

IFRS 9 as issued reflects the first phase of the IASBs work on the replacement of IAS 39 and applies to classification and measurement of financial assets as defined in IAS 39. The standard is effective for annual

periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. In subsequent phases, the IASB will address classification and measurement of financial liabilities, hedge accounting and derecognition. The completion of this project is expected in early 2011. The adoption of the first phase of IFRS 9 will have an effect on the classification and measurement of the Companies’ financial assets. The Companies will quantify the effect in conjunction with the other phases, when issued, to present a comprehensive picture.

IFRIC 14 Prepayments of a minimum funding requirement (Amendment)

The amendment to IFRIC 14 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011 with retrospective application. The amendment provides guidance on assessing the recoverable amount of a net pension asset. The amendment permits an entity to treat the prepayment of a minimum funding requirement as an asset. The amendment is deemed to have no impact on the financial statements of the Companies.

IFRIC 19 Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments

IFRIC 19 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2010. The interpretation clarifies that equity instruments issued to a creditor to extinguish a financial liability qualify as consideration paid. The equity instruments issued are measured at their fair value. In case that this cannot be reliably measured, the instruments are measured at the fair value of the liability extinguished. Any gain or loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss. The adoption of this interpretation will have no effect on the financial statements of the Companies.

Improvements to IFRSs (issued in May 2010)

The IASB issued Improvements to IFRSs, an omnibus of amendments to its IFRS standards. The amendments have not been adopted as they become effective for annual periods on or after either July 1, 2010 or January 1, 2011. The amendments listed below, are considered to have a reasonable possible impact on the Companies:

 

   

IFRS 3 Business Combinations

 

   

IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures

 

   

IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements

 

   

IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements

The Companies, however, expect no impact from the adoption of the amendments on their financial position or performance.

f. Significant Accounting Policies and Practices

f1. Business combinations and goodwill

Business combinations from January 1, 2010

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at acquisition date fair value and the

as of January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2009 and 2010

and for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010

(Expressed in millions of rupiah and thousands of U.S. dollar, except share and tariff data)

 

amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the acquirer measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition costs incurred are expensed and included in administrative expenses.

When the Companies acquires a business, they assess the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree.

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date through profit or loss.

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration which is deemed to be an asset or liability, will be recognized in accordance with IAS 39 either in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it should not be remeasured until it is finally settled within equity.

Goodwill is initially measured at cost being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognized for non-controlling interest over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If this consideration is lower than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized in profit or loss.

After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Companies’ cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units.

Where goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.

Business combinations prior to January 1, 2010

In comparison to the above-mentioned requirements, the following differences applied:

Business combinations were accounted for using the purchase method. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition formed part of the acquisition costs. The non-controlling interest (formerly known as minority interest) was measured at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets.

Business combinations achieved in stages were accounted for as separate steps. Any additional acquired share of interest did not affect previously recognized goodwill.

When the Companies acquired a business, embedded derivatives separated from the host contract by the acquire were not reassessed on acquisition unless the business combination resulted in a change in the terms of the contract that significantly modified the cash flows that otherwise would have been required under the contract.

(Expressed in millions of rupiah and thousands of U.S. dollar, except share and tariff data)

 

Contingent consideration was recognized if, and only if, the Companies had a present obligation, the economic outflow was more likely than not and a reliable estimate was determinable. Subsequent adjustments to the contingent consideration were recognized as part of goodwill.

f2. Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is its fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite.

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life is reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset is accounted for by changing the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortization expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income in the expense category consistent with the function of the intangible assets.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually, either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis.

At the time of acquisition of a subsidiary, any intangible assets recognized are amortized using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

 

     Years  

Customer base

  

—Prepaid

     6   

—Post-paid

     5   

Spectrum license

     5   

Brand

     8   

Internally generated intangible assets, excluding capitalized development costs, are not capitalized and expenditure is reflected in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income in the year in which the expenditure is incurred.

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income when the asset is derecognized.

(Expressed in millions of rupiah and thousands of U.S. dollar, except share and tariff data)

 

f3. Investments in associated companies

The Company’s investment in its associate is accounted for using the equity method. An associate is an entity in which the Company has significant influence.

Under the equity method, the investment in the associate is carried in the consolidated statements of financial position at cost plus post acquisition changes in the Company’s share of net assets of the associate. Goodwill relating to the associate is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is neither amortized nor individually tested for impairment.

The consolidated statements of comprehensive income reflect the share of the results of operations of the associate. Where there has been a change recognized directly in the equity of the associate, the Company recognizes its share of any changes and discloses this, when applicable, in the consolidated statements of changes in equity. Unrealized gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Company and the associate are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the associate.

The share of profit of an associate is shown on the face of the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. This is the profit attributable to equity holders of the associate and therefore is profit after tax and non-controlling interests in the subsidiaries of the associate.

The financial statements of the associate are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company. Where necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Company.

After application of the equity method, the Company determines whether it is necessary to recognize an additional impairment loss on the Company’s investment in its associate. The Company determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in the associate is impaired. If this is the case the Company calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate and its carrying value and recognizes the amount in the ‘share of profit of an associate’ in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Upon loss of significant influence over the associate, the Company measures and recognizes any retaining investment at its fair value. Any difference between the carrying amount of the associate upon loss of significant influence and the fair value of the retaining investment and proceeds from disposal is recognized in profit or loss.

f4. Foreign currency translation

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the functional currency rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency spot rate of exchange prevailing at the end of the reporting period. All differences are taken to the statements of comprehensive income, except for foreign exchange differences that qualify as capitalizable borrowing costs for qualifying properties under construction and installation. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined.

The functional currency and presentation currency of IPBV, IMBV, IFB and IIFB are in Euro, while ISP is in U.S. dollar. As at the end of the reporting period, the assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated into the presentation currency of the Company at the spot rate which is the exchange rate

prevailing at the end of the reporting period and their statement of comprehensive income is translated at the average rate during the period. The resulting differences arising from the translations of the financial statements of IPBV, IMBV, IFB, IIFB and ISP are included in other comprehensive income and presented as part of “Difference in Foreign Currency Translation” in the consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity.

f5. Revenue recognition and expense recognition

f5.1 Service Revenues

Cellular

Cellular revenues arising from airtime and roaming calls are recognized based on the duration of successful calls made through the Company’s cellular network.

For post-paid subscribers, monthly service fees are recognized as the service is rendered.

For prepaid subscribers, the activation component of starter package sales is deferred and recognized as revenue over the expected average period of the customer relationship. Sales of initial/reload vouchers are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue upon usage of the airtime or upon expiration of the airtime.

Sales of wireless broadband modems and cellular handsets are recognized upon delivery to the customers.

Revenues from wireless broadband data communications are recognized based on the duration of usage or fixed monthly charges depending on the arrangement with the customers.

Cellular revenues are presented on a net basis, after compensation to value added service providers.

Customer Loyalty Program

The Company operates a customer loyalty program called “Poin Plus Plus”, which allows customers to accumulate points for every reload and payment by the Company’s prepaid and post-paid subscribers, respectively. The points can then be redeemed for free telecommunication and non-telecommunication products, subject to a minimum number of points being obtained.

Customer loyalty credits are accounted for as a separate component of the sales transaction in which they are granted. The consideration received at the time of reload and payment by the Company’s prepaid and post-paid subscribers, respectively, is allocated between the cellular products sold and the points issued, with the consideration allocated to the points equal to their fair value. Fair value of the points issued is deferred and recognized as revenue when the points are redeemed or when the redemption period expires.

Dealer Commissions

Consideration in the form of sales discount given by the Company to a dealer is recognized as a reduction of revenue.

If the Company receives, or will receive, an identifiable benefit in exchange for a consideration given by the Company to a dealer, and the fair value of such benefit can be reasonably estimated, the consideration will be recorded as a marketing expense.

Tower Leasing

Revenue from tower leasing is recognized on the straight-line basis over the lease term based on the amount stated in the agreement between the Company and the lessee. Based on the Company’s assessment on the current tower leasing arrangements, the leasing transactions are classified as operating leases.

MIDI

 

   

Internet

Revenues arising from installation service are deferred and recognized over the expected average period of the customer relationship. Revenues from monthly service fees are recognized as the services are rendered. Revenues from usage charges are recognized monthly based on the duration of internet usage or based on the fixed amount of charges depending on the arrangement with the customers.

 

   

Frame Net, World Link and Direct Link

Revenues arising from installation service are deferred and recognized over the expected average period of the customer relationship. Revenues from monthly service fees are recognized as the services are rendered.

 

   

Satellite Operating Lease

Revenues are recognized on the straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

   

Other MIDI services

Revenues from other MIDI services are recognized when the services are rendered.

Fixed Telecommunication

 

   

International Calls

Revenues from outgoing international call traffic are recognized on the basis of the actual recorded traffic for the year and had been reported on a net basis up to December 31, 2009, after allocations to overseas international carriers.

In addition, starting January 1, 2010, the Company has decided to reclassify the portion of incoming calls revenue that belongs to the Company’s cellular segment. The Company believes that this change will bring the Company’s revenue presentation to be aligned more closely with the Company’s profit or loss performance and to provide reliable and more relevant information to shareholders and users of the accounts.

To improve the comparability of the consolidated financial statements, the Company made accounts reclassification in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 (Note 2d).

 

   

Fixed Wireless

Fixed wireless revenues arising from usage charges are recognized based on the duration of successful calls made through the Company’s fixed network.

Interconnection Revenue

Revenues from network interconnection with other domestic and international telecommunications carriers are recognized monthly on the basis of the actual recorded traffic for the month.

f5.2 Interest Income

Interest income is recognized as it accrues on a time proportion basis taking into account the principal amount outstanding and the effective interest rate. Majority of interest income represents interest earned from cash and cash equivalents.

f5.3 Dividends

Dividend income is recognized when the Company’s right to receive the payment is established.

f5.4 Expenses

Expenses are recognized when incurred.

f6. Income tax

Current income tax

Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current year are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date in the countries where the Companies operate and generate taxable income.

Current income tax relating to items recognized directly in equity is recognized in equity and not in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method on all temporary differences at the end of the reporting year between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences except: (1) where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss and (2) in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is possible that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences and carryforward of unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and carryforward of unused tax losses can be utilized except: (1) where the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss and (2) in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside profit or loss. Deferred tax items are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

Sales tax

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognized net of the amount of sales tax.

The net amount of sales tax recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the consolidated statements of financial position.

f7. Pensions and other post-employment benefits

Funded Plans

The Companies have defined benefit pension plans which require contributions to be made to separately administered funds. Pension costs under the Companies’ defined benefit pension plans are determined by periodic actuarial calculation using the projected-unit-credit method and applying the assumptions on discount rate, expected return on plan assets and annual rate of increase in compensation. Actuarial gains or losses are recognized as income or expense when the net cumulative unrecognized actuarial gains or losses for each individual plan at the end of the previous reporting year exceed 10% of the present value of the defined benefit obligation or fair value of plan assets, whichever is greater, at that date. These gains or losses in excess of the 10% corridor are recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected average remaining working lives of the employees.

The past service costs are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested. If the benefits have already vested, immediately following the introduction of or changes to a pension plan, past service costs are recognized immediately.

Actuarial gains or losses and past service costs from other long-term employee benefits are recognized immediately in the current year’s consolidated statement of income.

The defined benefit asset or liability comprises the present value of the defined benefit obligation (using a discount rate based on government bonds), less past service costs and actuarial gains and losses not yet recognized and less the fair value of plan assets out of which the obligations are to be settled. Plan assets are assets that are held by qualifying insurance policies. Fair value is based on market price information and in the case of quoted securities, it is the published bid price. The value of any defined benefit asset recognized is restricted to the sum of any past service costs and actuarial gains and losses not yet recognized and the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in the future contributions to the plan.

Unfunded Plans

The Companies also provide other post-employment benefits to their employees, such as benefits under Labor Law No.13/2003 (“Labor Law”) and post-retirement healthcare benefits. These benefits are unfunded. The accounting treatment for the unfunded plans is the same as that of the funded plans above.

f8. Financial assets

Initial recognition

Financial assets within the scope of IAS 39 are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, available-for-sale financial assets, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. The Companies determine the classification of their financial assets at initial recognition.

All financial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus, in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs.

Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace (regular way trades) are recognized on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Companies commit to purchase or sell the assets.

and for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010

(Expressed in millions of rupiah and thousands of U.S. dollar, except share and tariff data)

 

The Companies’ financial assets include cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, due from related parties, quoted and unquoted financial instruments, derivative financial instruments and other current and non-current financial assets.

Subsequent measurement

The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification as follows:

 

   

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading and financial assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling or repurchase in the near term. This category includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Company that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by IAS 39. Derivatives, including separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Derivative assets are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.

Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss are carried in the consolidated statements of financial position at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the statements of comprehensive income.

Derivatives embedded in host contracts are accounted for as separate derivatives and recorded at fair value if their economic characteristics and risks are not closely related to those of the host contracts and the host contracts are not carried at fair value. These embedded derivatives are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Reassessment only occurs if there is a change in the terms of the contract that significantly modifies the cash flows that would otherwise be required.

 

   

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method (EIR), less impairment. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The losses arising from impairment are recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

The Companies’ cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, due from related parties, other current financial assets and other non-current assets are included in this category.

Time deposits with original maturities of three months or less at the time of placement are considered as “Cash Equivalents”.

Cash in banks and time deposits which are pledged as collateral for long-term debts and bank guarantees and time deposits with original maturities of more than three months are not classified

as part of “Cash and Cash Equivalents”. These are presented as part of either “Other Current Financial Assets” or “Other Non-current Financial Assets”.

 

   

Held-to-maturity (HTM) investments

Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities are classified as HTM when the Companies have the positive intention and ability to hold them to maturity. After initial measurement, HTM investments are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less impairment. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The losses arising from impairment are recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

The Companies did not have any held-to-maturity investments during the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010.

 

   

Available-for-sale (AFS) financial assets

AFS financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for-sale or are not classified in any of the three preceding categories. After initial measurement, AFS financial assets are measured at fair value with unrealized gains or losses recognized in other comprehensive income until the investment is derecognized. At which time, the cumulative gain or loss is recognized or determined to be impaired, and the cumulative loss is reclassified from equity to profit or loss.

The Companies have the following investments classified as AFS:

 

  -

Investments in shares of stock that do not have readily determinable fair value in which the equity interest is less than 20%, and other long-term investments are carried at cost.

 

  -

Investments in equity shares that have readily determinable fair value in which the equity interest is less than 20% and which are classified as available-for-sale, are recorded at fair value.

f9. Financial liabilities

Initial recognition

Financial liabilities within the scope of IAS 39 are categorized as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. The Companies determine the classification of their financial liabilities at initial recognition.

All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings, inclusive of directly attributable transaction costs.

The Companies’ financial liabilities include trade payables, accrued expenses, procurement payable, loans and bonds payable, due to related parties, derivative financial instruments, other current and non-current financial liabilities.

(Expressed in millions of rupiah and thousands of U.S. dollar, except share and tariff data)

 

Subsequent measurement

The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification as follows:

 

   

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling or repurchase in the near term. This category includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Company that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by IAS 39. Separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.

Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

 

   

Loans and borrowings

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

Gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the EIR amortization process.

f10. Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the consolidated statements of financial position if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

f11. Fair value of financial instruments

The fair value of financial instruments that are traded in active markets at each reporting date is determined by reference to quoted market prices or dealer price quotations (bid price for long positions and ask price for short positions), without any deduction for transaction costs. For financial instruments where there is no active market, fair value is determined using valuation techniques. Such techniques may include using recent arm’s length market transactions, reference to the current fair value of another instrument that is substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis or other valuation models.

Credit risk adjustment

The Company adjusts the price in the more advantageous market to reflect any differences in counterparty credit risk between instruments traded in that market and the ones being valued for financial asset positions. In determining the fair value of financial liability positions, the Company’s own credit risk associated with the instrument is taken into account.

(Expressed in millions of rupiah and thousands of U.S. dollar, except share and tariff data)

 

f12. Amortized cost of financial instruments

Amortized cost is computed using the effective interest rate method less any allowance for impairment and principal repayment or reduction. The calculation takes into account any premium or discount on acquisition and includes transaction costs and fees that are an integral part of the effective interest rate.

f13. Impairment of financial assets

The Companies assess at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred ‘loss event’) and that loss event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors are experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation and where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.

For loans and receivables carried at amortized cost, the Companies first assess whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant, or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If the Companies determine that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, they include the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assess them for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is, or continues to be, recognized are not included in a collective assessment of impairment.

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has occurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future expected credit losses that have not yet been incurred). The present value of the estimated future cash flows is discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. If a loan receivable has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring impairment loss is the current effective interest rate.

The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the amount of the loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Interest income continues to be accrued on the reduced carrying amount based on the rate of interest used to discount future cash flows for the purpose of measuring impairment loss. Loans and receivables, together with the associated allowance, are written off when there is no realistic prospect of future recovery and all collateral has been realized or has been transferred to the Companies. If, in a subsequent year, the amount of the estimated impairment loss increases or decreases because of an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is increased or reduced by adjusting the allowance account. If a future write-off is later recovered, the recovery is recognized in profit or loss.

AFS financial assets

In the case of equity investments classified as an AFS financial asset, objective evidence would include a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the investment below its cost.

Where there is objective evidence of impairment, the cumulative loss—measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that investment previously recognized in profit or loss—is reclassified from equity to profit or loss. Impairment losses on equity investments are not reversed through the profit or loss; increases in their fair value after impairment are recognized in other comprehensive income.

In the case of debt instruments classified as available-for-sale, impairment is assessed based on the same criteria as financial assets carried at amortized cost. Future interest income is based on the reduced carrying amount and is accrued based on the rate of interest used to discount future cash flows for the purpose of measuring impairment loss. Such accrual is recorded as part of “Interest income” account in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. If, in a subsequent year, the fair value of a debt instrument increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in profit or loss, the impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss.

f14. Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets

A financial asset (or where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognized when: (1) the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or (2) the Companies have transferred their rights to receive cash flows from the asset or have assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a “pass-through” arrangement; and either (a) the Companies have transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Companies have neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but have transferred control of the asset.

Financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or has expired.

When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in profit or loss.

f15. Derivative financial instruments

The Company enters into and engages in cross currency swap, interest rate swap, currency forward and other permitted instruments, if considered necessary, for the purpose of managing its foreign exchange and interest rate exposures emanating from the Company’s loans and bonds payable in foreign currencies. These derivative financial instruments do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting and are initially recognized at fair value on the date the derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as assets when the fair value is positive and as liabilities when the fair value is negative.

(Expressed in millions of rupiah and thousands of U.S. dollar, except share and tariff data)

 

Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value on derivatives during the year that do not qualify for hedge accounting are taken directly to the profit or loss.

Derivative assets and liabilities are presented under current assets and liabilities, respectively. Embedded derivative is presented with the host contract on the consolidated statements of financial position which represents an appropriate presentation of overall future cash flows for the instrument taken as a whole.

The net changes in fair value of derivative instruments, swap cost or income, termination cost or income, and settlement of derivative instruments are charged or credited to “Gain (Loss) on Change in Fair Value of Derivatives—Net”, which is presented under Other Income (Expenses) in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

f16. Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost (which includes capitalization of certain borrowing costs incurred during the construction phase), less accumulated depreciation, amortization and impairment in value. Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets.

Property and equipment acquired in exchange for a non-monetary asset or for a combination of monetary and non-monetary assets are measured at fair values unless:

 

  (i)

the exchange transaction lacks commercial substance, or

 

  (ii)

the fair value of neither the assets received nor the assets given up can be measured reliably.

The acquired assets are measured this way even if the Companies cannot immediately derecognize the assets given up. If the acquired assets cannot be reliably measured at fair value, their value is measured at the carrying amount of the assets given up.

An item of property and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is recognized in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognized.

The estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:

 

     Years  

Landrights

     50   

Exchange and network assets

     3 to 15   

Subscribers’ apparatus and other equipment

     3 to 15   

Buildings and building & leasehold improvements

     20 and 3 to 15   

Personnel costs which are directly related to the development, construction and installation of property and equipment are capitalized as part of the cost of such assets.

The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to income as incurred. Significant renewals and betterments which enhance the asset condition on its initial performance, are capitalized. When properties are retired or otherwise disposed of, their costs and the related accumulated depreciation are derecognized from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are recognized in profit or loss for the year.

(Expressed in millions of rupiah and thousands of U.S. dollar, except share and tariff data)

 

Properties under construction and installation are stated at cost. This includes cost of construction, equipment, capitalizable borrowing costs and other direct costs. Property under construction is not depreciated until such time that the relevant asset is completed and available for its intended use.

The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation and amortization of property and equipment are reviewed and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate, at each financial year end.

f17. Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs are capitalized if they are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset. Capitalization of borrowing costs commences when the activities necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use are in progress and expenditures and borrowing costs are being incurred. Borrowing costs are capitalized until the asset is available for its intended use. If the resulting carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognized. Borrowing costs include interest charges and other costs incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds, as well as exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings used to finance these projects, to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs (estimated quarterly by capping the exchange differences taken as borrowing costs at the amount of borrowing costs on the functional currency equivalent borrowings).

f18. Asset retirement obligations

The Companies are legally required under various lease agreements to dismantle the installation in leased sites and restore such sites to their original condition at the end of the lease contract term.

The amount of asset retirement obligations is accreted, and such accretion is recognized as interest expense.

f19. Leases

The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at inception date of whether the fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets or the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset, even if that right is not explicitly specified in an arrangement.

The Companies, as lessees, classify a lease as a finance lease if it transfers to them substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

A finance lease gives rise to a depreciation expense for the asset, as well as an interest expense for each year. Finance charges are charged directly to current operations. The depreciation policy for leased assets which is based on straight-line method is consistent with that for depreciable assets that are directly owned.

Leased assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term, if there is no reasonable certainty that the Companies will obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term.

In 2006, the Company was granted a license to use 2.1 GHz radio frequency spectrum by the Ministry of Communications and Information and Technology (“MOCIT”). The upfront fee is recorded as Long-term Prepaid License for the non-current portion and Prepaid Expenses for the current portion, and amortized over the 10-year license term using the straight-line method.

(Expressed in millions of rupiah and thousands of U.S. dollar, except share and tariff data)

 

In 2009, the Company received additional 3G license and IMM was granted an operating license for “Packet Switched” local telecommunication network using 2.3 GHz radio frequency spectrum of Broadband Wireless Access (“BWA”). The Company and IMM were obliged to, among others, pay upfront fee and annual radio frequency fee over the next 10 years (Note 29h).

Management believes, as supported by written confirmation from the DGPT, that the 3G and BWA licenses may be returned at any time without any financial obligation to pay the remaining outstanding annual radio frequency fees (i.e., the license arrangement does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership).

Accordingly, the Company and IMM recognize the annual radio frequency fee as operating lease expense amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the rights to operate the 3G and BWA licenses. Management evaluates its plan to continue to use the licenses on an annual basis.

f20. Inventories

Inventories, which mainly consist of SIM cards, broadband modems, starter packs and pulse reload vouchers and cellular handsets, are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted-average method. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

f21. Prepaid expenses

Prepaid expenses, which mainly consist of frequency fee, rentals, upfront fee of 3G and BWA licenses and insurance are expensed as the related asset is utilized. The non-current portions of prepaid rentals and upfront fee of 3G and BWA licenses are shown as part of “Long-term Prepaid Rentals—Net of Current Portion” and “Long-term Prepaid Licenses—Net of Current Portion”, respectively.

f22. Impairment of non-financial assets

Property and equipment

The Companies assess at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Companies make an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of such asset’s or cash-generating unit’s fair value less costs to sell or its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent from those of other assets or groups of assets in which case it is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Where the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash-generating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining the fair value less costs to sell, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded subsidiaries or other available fair value indicators. Impairment losses of continuing operations are recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

For assets, excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such

indication exists, the Companies make an estimate of the recoverable amount. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If this is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. The increase cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation and amortization, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. After such reversal, the depreciation and amortization charges are adjusted in future years to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining economic useful life.

The following criteria are also applied in assessing impairment of specific assets:

Goodwill and other intangible assets

Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit or group of cash-generating units to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit or group of cash-generating units is less than the carrying amount of the cash-generating unit or group of cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated, an impairment loss is recognized. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment annually either individually or at the cash-generating unit level, as appropriate. The amount of impairment is calculated as being the difference between the recoverable amount of the intangible asset and its carrying amount and is recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Impairment losses relating to intangible assets can be reversed in future periods.

Investments in associates

The Companies determine at each balance sheet date whether there is any objective evidence that their investments in associates are impaired. If this is the case, the Companies calculate the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the investments in associates and its carrying amount. The amount of impairment loss should be recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

f23. Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Companies have a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. When the Companies expect some or all of provisions to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in profit or loss net of any reimbursement.

f24. Operating segment

An operating segment is a component of entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other

components of the same entity), whose operating results are reviewed regularly by the entity’s chief operating decision maker (Board of Directors) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance and for which discrete financial information is available.

f25. Basic and diluted earnings per share/ADS

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income for the year attributable to ordinary owners of the Company by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year (Note 26).

Basic earnings per ADS is computed by multiplying basic earnings per share by 50, which is equal to the number of shares per ADS.

Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income for the year attributable to ordinary owners of the Company (after adjusting profit or loss effect related to dilutive potential ordinary shares) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on conversion of all potentially dilutive ordinary shares.

g. Accounting Policy Change

IAS 17 Leases

Before January 1, 2010, under IFRS as issued by IASB, the costs to acquire the landrights as well as other expenses associated with the acquisition are capitalized as prepaid landrights lease, and are amortized over the period of the right to use the land obtained from the Government which ranges from 20 to 30 years.

Based on IAS 17 amendment (as part of the Improvements Project), starting January 1, 2010, the Companies classify land leases as finance leases and present them in the financial statements as property and equipment. The Companies adopted a retrospective application of this amendment and amortize land leases over 50 years (i.e., over the initial lease term of 30 years plus one extension of 20 years).

As a result of the accounting policy change, the following adjustments were made to the financial statements:

3. MANAGEMENT’S USE OF JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of the Companies’ consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of the reporting period. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods.

a. Judgments

In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, apart from those including estimations and assumptions, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements:

 

   

Determination of functional currency

The functional currencies of the entities under the Company are the currency of the primary economic environment in which each entity operates. It is the currency that mainly influences the revenue and cost of rendering services.

 

   

Leases

The Companies have various lease agreements as lessors in respect of certain properties and equipment. The Companies evaluate whether significant risks and rewards of ownership of the leased properties are transferred to the lessee or retained by the Companies based on IAS 17, “Leases”, which requires the Companies to make judgments and estimates of transfer of risks and rewards of ownership of leased properties.

b. Estimates and Assumptions

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below:

 

   

Determination of fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities

Where the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the statements of financial position cannot be derived from active markets, their fair value is determined using valuation techniques including the discounted cash flow model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values. The judgments include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.

(Expressed in millions of rupiah and thousands of U.S. dollar, except share and tariff data)

 

   

Estimating useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets

The Companies estimate the useful lives of their property and equipment and intangible assets based on expected asset utilization as anchored on business plans and strategies that also consider expected future technological developments and market behavior. The estimation of the useful lives of property and equipment is based on the Companies’ collective assessment of industry practice, internal technical evaluation and experience with similar assets. The estimated useful lives are reviewed at least each financial year-end and are updated if expectations differ from previous estimates due to physical wear and tear, technical or commercial obsolescence and legal or other limitations on the use of the assets. It is possible, however, that future results of operations could be materially affected by changes in the estimates brought about by changes in the factors mentioned above.

The amounts and timing of recorded expenses for any period will be affected by changes in these factors and circumstances. A reduction in the estimated useful lives of the Companies’ property and equipment will increase the recorded operating expenses and decrease non-current assets.

 

   

Goodwill and intangible assets

The consolidated financial statements and results of operations reflect acquired businesses after the completion of the respective acquisition. The Company accounts for the acquired businesses using the acquisition method starting January 1, 2010 and purchase method for prior year acquisitions, which requires extensive use of accounting estimates and judgments to allocate the purchase price to the fair market values of the acquiree’s identifiable assets and liabilities at the acquisition date. Any excess in the purchase price over the estimated fair market values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill in the consolidated statements of financial position. Thus, the numerous judgments made in estimating the fair market value to be assigned to the acquiree’s assets and liabilities can materially affect the Company’s financial performance.

 

   

Realizability of deferred income tax assets

The Companies review the carrying amounts of deferred income tax assets at the end of each reporting date and reduce these to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax assets to be utilized. The Companies’ assessment on the recognition of deferred income tax assets on deductible temporary differences is based on the level and timing of forecasted taxable income of the subsequent reporting periods. This forecast is based on the Companies’ past results and future expectations on revenues and expenses as well as future tax planning strategies. However, there is no assurance that sufficient taxable income will be generated to allow all or part of deferred income tax assets to be utilized.

 

   

Estimating allowance for impairment of receivables

If there is an objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred in trade receivables, the Companies estimate the allowance for impairment losses related to their trade receivables that are specifically identified as doubtful for collection. The level of allowance is evaluated by management on the basis of factors that affect the collectibility of the accounts. In these cases, the Companies use judgment based on the best available facts and circumstances, including but not limited to, the length of the Companies’ relationship with the customers and the customers’ credit status based on third-party credit reports and known market factors, to record specific reserves for

customers against amounts due in order to reduce the Companies’ receivables to amounts that they expect to collect. These specific reserves are re-evaluated and adjusted as additional information received affect the amounts estimated.

In addition to specific allowance against individually significant receivables, the Companies also assess a collective impairment allowance against credit exposure of their customers which are grouped based on common credit characteristics, which, although not specifically identified as requiring a specific allowance, have a greater risk of default than when the receivables were originally granted to customers. This collective allowance is based on historical loss experience using various factors such as historical performance of the customers within the collective group, deterioration in the markets in which the customers operate, and identified structural weaknesses or deterioration in the cash flows of customers.

 

   

Estimation of pension cost and other employee benefits

The cost of defined benefit plan and present value of the pension obligation are determined using the projected-unit-credit method. Actuarial valuation includes making various assumptions which consist, among other things, discount rates, expected rates of return on plan assets, rates of compensation increases and mortality rates. Actual results that differ from the Companies’ assumptions are recognized as income or expense when the net cumulative unrecognized actuarial gains and losses at the end of the previous reporting year exceed 10% of the higher of the present value of defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets at that date. Due to complexity of valuation, the underlying assumptions and their long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in assumptions.

While the Companies believe that their assumptions are reasonable and appropriate, significant differences in the Companies’ actual experience or significant changes in their assumptions may materially affect the costs and obligations of pension and other long-term employee benefits. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.

 

   

Asset retirement obligations

Asset retirement obligations are recognized in the year in which they are incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. This requires an estimation of the cost to restore/dismantle on a per location basis and is based on the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the future restoration/dismantlement date, discounted using a pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessment of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risk specific to the liability.

 

   

Revenue recognition

The Company’s revenue recognition policies require the use of estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of revenues and receivables.

The Company’s agreements with domestic and foreign carriers for inbound and outbound traffic subject to settlements require traffic reconciliations before actual settlement is done, which may not be the actual volume of traffic as measured by Company. Initial recognition of revenues is based on observed traffic adjusted by normal experience adjustments, which historically are not material to the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Differences between the amounts initially recognized and the actual settlements are taken up in the account upon reconciliation. However, there is no assurance that the use of such estimates will not result in material adjustments in future periods.

The Companies recognize revenues from installation and activation related fees and the corresponding costs over the expected average periods of customer relationship for cellular, MIDI and fixed telecommunication services. The Companies estimate the expected average period of customer relationship based on the most recent churn-rate analysis.

 

   

Uncertain tax exposure

In certain circumstances, the Companies may not be able to determine the exact amount of their current or future tax liabilities due to ongoing investigations by, or negotiations with, the taxation authority. Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of complex tax regulations and the amount and timing of future taxable income. In determining the amount to be recognized in respect of an uncertain tax liability, the Companies apply similar considerations as they would use in determining the amount of a provision to be recognized in accordance with IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. The Companies make an analysis of all tax positions related to income taxes to determine if a tax liability for unrecognized tax benefit should be recognized.

As of December 31, 2010, the Company is subject to tax audit for tax year 2009.

The Companies record interest and penalties for the underpayment of income tax, if any, in income tax expense account in the consolidated financial statements.

6. TAXES RECEIVABLE

This account consists of claims for tax refund as of January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2009 and 2010 amounting to Rp247,185, Rp396,581 and Rp479,786, respectively, mainly consisting of the Company’s corporate income tax for fiscal years 2004, 2005, 2006, 2009 and 2010 and Satelindo’s corporate income tax for fiscal year 2002.

On July 4, 2008, the Company received Decision Letter No. KEP-00080/WPJ.19/KP.0303/2008 (KEP-00080) from the Tax Court which accepted the Company’s objection to the correction of the 2003 corporate income tax amounting to Rp126,403. On December 24, 2008, the Company received Decision Letter No. KEP-539/WPJ.19/BD.05/2008 from the DGT which increased the overpayment amount by Rp84,650 in the assessment letter on tax overpayment (“SKPLB”) for fiscal year 2004, which amount is lower than the amount stated in KEP-00080. On January 21, 2009, the Company filed an appeal letter to the Tax Court to increase the SKPLB for fiscal year 2004 as stated in KEP-00080. On February 2, 2009, the Company received the tax refund from the Tax Office amounting to Rp84,650 for the additional tax overpayment of corporate income tax for fiscal year 2004. On December 4, 2009, the Company received from the Tax Court its Decision No. Put.20644/PP/M.II/2009 which granted the request to increase the SKPLB for fiscal year 2004. Furthermore, on December 15, 2009, the DGT issued Decision Letter No. KEP-00101/WPJ.19/KP.0303/2009 to implement such Tax Court Decision. On April 13, 2010, the Company received the tax refund from the Tax Office amounting to Rp41,753 for the remaining tax overpayment of corporate income tax for the fiscal year 2004.

On August 21, 2008, the Company submitted an appeal letter to the Tax Court concerning the Company’s remaining objection to the correction of the 2005 corporate income tax. On October 29, 2010, the Company received the Decision Letter from the Tax Court which accepted the Company’s objection to the correction of the 2005 corporate income tax amounting to Rp38,155 (Note 33k), which was offset against the underpayment of the Company’s 2008 and 2009 income tax article 26 based on Tax Collection Letters (“STPs”) received by the Company on September 17, 2010 (Note 29c).

On June 8, 2009, the Company received the assessment letter on tax underpayment (“SKPKB”) from the DGT for Satelindo’s corporate income tax for fiscal year 2002 amounting to Rp105,809 (including penalties and interest). The Company accepted a part of the correction of the 2002 corporate income tax amounting to Rp2,646 which was charged to current operations in 2009. Under Indonesian Tax Law, a taxpayer is required to pay the tax underpayment amount as stated in the SKPKB within one month from the date of the SKPKB. The taxpayer can reclaim the tax paid through an objection or appeal process. On August 28, 2009, the Company submitted an objection letter to the Tax Office regarding the remaining correction on Satelindo’s 2002 corporate income tax. On July 15, 2010, the Company received Decision Letter No.KEP-357/WPJ.19/BD.05/2010 from the DGT declining the Company’s objection to the correction on Satelindo’s corporate income tax for fiscal year 2002. On October 14, 2010, the Company submitted an appeal letter to the Tax Court concerning the Company’s objection to the correction on Satelindo’s corporate income tax for fiscal year 2002. As of April 20, 2011, the Company has not yet received any decision from the Tax Court on such appeal.

On September 7, 2009, the Company received Decision Letter No.KEP-335/WPJ.19/BD.05/2009 from the DGT which declined the Company’s objection to the remaining corrections of the 2006 corporate income tax. On December 2, 2009, the Company submitted an appeal letter to the Tax Court regarding the remaining corrections of the Company’s 2006 corporate income tax. As of April 20, 2011, the Company has not yet received any decision from the Tax Court on such appeal.

Submarine cables (presented as part of exchange and network assets) represent the Company’s proportionate investment in submarine cable circuits jointly constructed, operated, maintained and owned with other countries, based on the respective contracts and/or the construction and maintenance agreements.

Depreciation and amortization expense charged to profit or loss amounted to Rp4,522,225, Rp5,454,445 and Rp6,184,548 in 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively.

Management believes that there is no impairment in assets value or recovery of the impairment reserve for the current year.

On August 31, 2009, the Company launched its Satellite Palapa-D. The Satellite experienced an under-performance of the launch vehicle during the Satellite’s placement to its intended orbital position. Consequently, its orbital lifetime has been reduced. The insurance claim for the partial loss of the Satellite has been made and is recorded as a reduction of the cost of the Satellite. The Satellite has been in operation since November 2009 after going through the process of testing and arranging its orbital position in September and October 2009. On January 4 and 19, 2010, the Company collected the Palapa-D Satellite insurance claim amounting to US$58,008 (equivalent to Rp537,657) as a loss compensation for the decrease in the Satellite’s useful life from 15 years to 10.77 years due to the under-performance of the launch vehicle in the Satellite’s orbital process.

As of December 31, 2010, approximately Rp31,691 of property and equipment are pledged as collateral to credit facilities obtained by Lintasarta (Note 14).

As of December 31, 2010, the Companies insured their respective property and equipment (except submarine cables) for US$232,785 and Rp40,306,958 including insurance on the Company’s satellite amounting to US$153,000. Management believes that the sum insured is sufficient to cover possible losses arising from fire, explosion, lightning, aircraft damage and other natural disasters.

Impairment testing of goodwill

Goodwill acquired through business combinations has been allocated to Cellular business unit, which is also considered as one of the Companies’ operating segments.

The Company performed its annual impairment testing of goodwill at December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010.

The business enterprise value of the Cellular business unit has been determined based on discounted cash flow and weighted average cost of capital (WACC) covering a five-year period. This projection is based on the Companies’ long-term plan approved by the Board of Directors, which management believes is reasonable and is management’s best estimate of the ranges of economic conditions that will exist over the remaining useful life of the asset.

Key assumptions used in fair value less cost to sell (FVLCTS) calculation at December 31, 2010:

Discount rates—The Company has chosen to use WACC as a discounted rate for the discounted cash flow. The estimated WACC applied in determining the recoverable amount of the unit is between 12% and 14%.

Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR)—The CAGR projection for the 5-year budget period of cellular segment revenue made by management is approximately 12%. This is higher than the historical revenue CAGR of approximately 7% due to tighter competition. The total operating expenses (including depreciation) are projected as a percentage of revenue.

Cost to Sell—As the recoverable amount of the Cellular Business is determined using FVLCTS, the estimated cost to sell the business is based on a certain percentage of the equity value. The estimated cost to sell used for this calculation is at approximately 1.5% of the enterprise value.

9. LONG-TERM PREPAID RENTALS—NET OF CURRENT PORTION

This account represents mainly the long-term portion of prepaid rentals on sites and towers.

The deferred tax assets of Lintasarta relate mainly to the deferred tax on the temporary difference in the recognition of depreciation of property and equipment.

The significant temporary differences on which deferred tax assets have been computed are not deductible for income tax purposes until the accrued employee benefits are paid, the doubtful accounts are written off, the allowance for decline in value of investment in associated company and other long-term investments is realized upon sale of the investments, and the pension cost is paid.

The significant deferred tax liabilities relate to the differences in the book and tax bases of property and equipment, investments in subsidiaries/associated companies, debt and bonds issuance costs, consent solicitation fees and discount, and long-term prepaid licenses.

(Expressed in millions of rupiah and thousands of U.S. dollar, except share and tariff data)

 

The Company provides for deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets relating to the book-versus-tax-basis differences in its investment in domestic subsidiaries as the Company believes that for certain subsidiaries the investment will be recovered through the sale of the shares which is a taxable transaction and for certain subsidiaries the differences will be deductible from ordinary income as a result of a merger.

In September 2008, Law No. 7 Year 1983 regarding “Income Tax” was revised for the fourth time with the issuance of Law No. 36 Year 2008. The revised Law stipulates change in the corporate tax rates from progressive tax rates to a single rate of 28% for fiscal year 2009 and 25% for fiscal years 2010 onwards. The revised Law was effective on January 1, 2009. The Companies recorded the effects of the changes in tax rates for the year ended December 31, 2008 resulting from the reduction in tax rates as a reduction of income tax expense amounting to Rp269,177 and credits amounting to Rp292 and Rp886, respectively, to “Other Components of Equity—Difference in transactions of equity changes in associated companies/subsidiaries” and “Difference in foreign currency translation”, which are presented as part of other comprehensive income in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

On June 8, 2009, the Company received SKPKB from the DGT for Satelindo’s 2003 corporate income tax amounting to Rp30,870 (including interest), which was paid to the Tax Office on July 7, 2009 and charged to current operations in 2009.

Fair Value Measurement

The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are presented at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate such value:

Short-term financial assets and liabilities:

 

   

Short-term financial instruments with remaining maturities of one year or less (cash and cash equivalents, trade and other accounts receivable, other current financial assets, trade accounts payable, procurement payable, accrued expenses, deposits from customers and other current financial liabilities).

These financial instruments approximate their carrying amounts largely due to their short-term maturities.

 

   

Derivative Financial Instruments

Cross currency swap contracts (including bifurcated embedded derivative)

These derivatives are measured at their fair values using internal valuation techniques as no quoted market prices exist for such instruments. The principal technique used to value these instruments is the use of discounted cash flows. The key inputs include interest rate yield curves, foreign exchange rates, Credit Default Spread (“CDS”), and the spot price of the underlying instruments.

Interest rate swap contracts

These derivatives are measured at their fair values, computed using discounted cash flows based on observable market inputs which include interest rate yield curves and payment dates.

Long-term financial assets and liabilities:

 

   

Long-term fixed-rate and variable-rate financial liabilities (unquoted loans and bonds payable)

The fair value of these financial liabilities is determined by discounting future cash flows using applicable rates from observable current market transactions for instruments with similar terms, credit risk and remaining maturities.

 

   

Other long-term financial assets and liabilities (due from/to related parties, other long-term investments, other non-current financial assets and liabilities)

Estimated fair value is based on discounted value of future cash flows adjusted to reflect counterparty risk (for financial assets) and the Companies’ own credit risk (for financial liabilities) and using risk-free rates for similar instruments.

 

   

Financial instruments quoted in an active market

The fair value of the bonds issued by the Company which are traded in an active market is determined with reference to their quoted market prices.

For equity investments classified as available-for-sale, the fair value is determined based on the latest market quotation as published by the Indonesia Stock Exchange as of January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2009 and 2010.

Fair Value Hierarchy

Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. The assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurements requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of the assets and liabilities being measured and their placement within the fair value hierarchy.

The best evidence of fair value is quoted prices in an active market. If the market for a financial instrument is not active, an entity establishes fair value by using a valuation technique. The objective of using a valuation technique is to establish what the transaction price would have been on the measurement date in an arm’s length exchange motivated by normal business considerations. Valuation techniques include using recent arm’s length market transactions between knowledgeable, willing parties, if available, reference to the current fair value of another instrument that is substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models. If there is a valuation technique commonly used by market participants to price the instrument and that technique has been demonstrated to provide reliable estimates of prices obtained in actual market transactions, the entity uses that technique. The chosen valuation technique makes maximum use of market inputs and relies as little as possible on entity-specific inputs. It incorporates all factors that market participants would consider in setting a price and is consistent with accepted economic methodologies for pricing financial instruments. Periodically, the Company calibrates the valuation technique and tests it for validity using prices from any observable current market transactions in the same instrument (i.e., without modification or repackaging) or based on any available observable market data.

The Company’s fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2009 and 2010 are as follows:

Before December 31, 2010, the current portion of salary continuation before retirement included in accrued expenses (Note 13) amounted to Rp1,412 and the non-current portion included in employee benefit obligations amounted to Rp117,773, before deducting benefit payments made during the year amounting to Rp852. On December 31, 2010, the Company and its employees’ union reached a collective labor agreement (“CLA”) on the revocation of post-retirement benefit of salary continuation before retirement effective January 1, 2011. This revocation eliminates the Company’s legal or constructive obligation on the benefit. Consequently, the Company reversed the outstanding accrual for this benefit as of December 31, 2010 amounting to Rp118,333.

24. PENSION PLAN

The Company, Satelindo and Lintasarta have defined benefit and defined contribution pension plans covering substantially all of their qualified permanent employees.

Defined Benefit Pension Plan

The Company, Satelindo and Lintasarta provide defined benefit pension plans to their respective employees under which pension benefits to be paid upon retirement are based on the employees’ most recent basic salary and number of years of service. PT Asuransi Jiwasraya (“Jiwasraya”), a state-owned life insurance company, manages the plans. Pension contributions are determined by periodic actuarial calculations performed by Jiwasraya.

Based on an amendment dated December 22, 2000 of the Company’s pension plan, which was further amended on March 29, 2001, the benefits and premium payment pattern were changed. Before the amendment, the premium was regularly paid annually until the plan would be fully funded and the benefits consisted of retirement benefit (regular monthly or lump-sum pension) and death insurance. In conjunction with the amendment, the plan would be fully funded after making installment payments up to January 2002 of the required amount to fully fund the plan determined as of September 1, 2000. The amendment also includes an additional benefit in the form of thirteenth-month retirement benefit, which is payable annually 14 days before Idul Fitri (“Moslem Holiday”).

The amendment covers employees registered as participants of the pension plan as of September 1, 2000 and includes an increase in basic salary pension by 9% compounded annually starting from September 1, 2001. The amendment also stipulates that there will be no increase in the premium even in cases of mass employee terminations or changes in marital status.

The total premium installments based on the amendment amounted to Rp355,000 and were paid on due dates.

On March 1, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with Jiwasraya to provide defined death insurance plan to 1,276 employees as of January 1, 2007, who are not covered by the defined benefit pension plan as stated above. Based on the agreement, a participating employee will receive:

 

   

Expiration benefit equivalent to the cash value at the normal retirement age, or

 

   

Death benefit not due to accident equivalent to 100% of insurance money plus cash value when the employee dies not due to accident, or

 

   

Death benefit due to accident equivalent to 200% of insurance money plus cash value when the employee dies due to accident.

The premium of Rp7,600 was fully paid on March 29, 2007. Subsequently, in August 2007, February to December 2008, January to December 2009 and January to December 2010, the Company made payments for additional premium of Rp275 for additional 55 employees, Rp805 for additional 161 employees, Rp415 for additional 81 employees and Rp120 for additional 14 employees, respectively.

On June 25, 2003, Satelindo entered into an agreement with Jiwasraya to amend the benefits and premium payment pattern of the former’s pension plan. The amendment covers employees registered as participants of the pension plan as of December 25, 2002 up to June 25, 2003. Other new conditions include the following:

 

   

An increase in pension basic salary at 6% compounded annually starting from December 25, 2002

 

   

Thirteenth-month retirement benefit, which is payable annually 14 days before Idul Fitri

 

   

An increase in periodic payment of retirement benefit at 6% compounded annually starting one year after receiving periodic retirement benefit for the first time

 

   

If the average annual interest rate of time deposits of government banks exceeds 15%, the participants’ retirement benefit will be increased by a certain percentage in accordance with the formula agreed by both parties.

On April 15, 2005, Lintasarta entered into an agreement with Jiwasraya to replace their existing agreement. Based on the new agreement, the benefits and premium payment pattern were changed. This agreement is effective starting January 1, 2005. The total premium installments based on the agreement amount to Rp61,623, which is payable in 10 annual installments starting 2005 until 2015.

The new agreement covers employees registered as participants of the pension plan as of April 1, 2003. The conditions under the new agreement include the following:

 

   

An increase in pension basic salary by 3% (previously was estimated at 8%) compounded annually starting April 1, 2003

 

   

An increase in periodic payment of retirement benefit at 5% compounded annually starting one year after receiving periodic retirement benefit for the first time

 

   

If the average annual interest rate of time deposits of government banks exceeds 15%, the participants’ retirement benefit will be increased by a certain percentage in accordance with the formula agreed by both parties.

Total contributions of the employees for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 amounted to Rp16,866, Rp19,451 and Rp46,557, respectively. The plan assets are being administered and managed by seven financial institutions appointed by the Company and Satelindo, based on the choice of the employees.

Labor Law No. 13/2003

The Company, Lintasarta and IMM also accrue benefits under Labor Law No. 13/2003 (“Labor Law”) dated March 25, 2003. Their employees will receive the benefits under this law or defined benefit pension plan, whichever amount is higher.

Post-retirement Healthcare

The Company provides post-retirement healthcare benefits to its employees who leave the Company after the employees fulfill the early retirement requirement. The spouse and children who have been officially registered in the administration records of the Company are also eligible to receive benefits. If the employees die, the spouse and children are still eligible for the post-retirement healthcare until the spouse dies or remarries and the children reach the age of 25 or get married.

The utilization of post-retirement healthcare is limited to an annual maximum ceiling that refers to monthly pension from Jiwasraya as follows:

 

   

16 times the Jiwasraya monthly pension for a pensioner who receives monthly pension from Jiwasraya

 

   

16 times the equality monthly pension for a pensioner who became permanent employee after September 1, 2000

 

   

16 times the last monthly pension for a pensioner who retired after July 1, 2003 and does not receive Jiwasraya monthly pension.

The net periodic post-retirement healthcare cost for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 was calculated based on the actuarial valuations as of December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010.

On May 25, 2007, the Company and six other telecommunications operators signed a memorandum of understanding on the construction of the national optical fiber network Palapa Ring for the eastern part of Indonesia (“Palapa Ring Project Phase I”) wherein the Company will share 10% of the total project cost of Rp3,000,000. In addition, they also agreed to equally bear the cost of preparation and implementation (“preparation cost”) of Palapa Ring Project Phase I up to the amount of Rp2,000. If the preparation cost exceeds Rp2,000, there will be further discussion among them. However, one of the telecommunications operators subsequently decided not to join the project.

On November 10, 2007, the Company and the other five telecommunications operators (including Telkom, a related party) signed the agreement on the consortium for the construction and maintenance of Palapa Ring wherein the Company agreed to bear 13.36% of the total project cost of US$225,037. This agreement replaced the previous memorandum of understanding.

Furthermore, three of the telecommunications operators also no longer joined the project. Consequently, as of December 31, 2010, the remaining telecommunications operators which are still committed to this project are the Company, Telkom and Bakrie Telecom. Hence, the project’s commitment is being evaluated to accommodate the change in the number of participating telecommunications operators.

As of December 31, 2010, the Company has paid the amount of US$1,503 which is recorded as part of other non-current financial assets.

 

  h.

On July 20, 2005, the Company obtained facilities from HSBC to fund the Company’s short-term working capital needs. These facilities were amended on May 14, 2007 to extend the expiration date to February 28, 2008. On December 4, 2009, these facilities were further amended to extend the expiration date to April 30, 2010. Subsequently, on June 17, 2010, these facilities were further extended up to April 30, 2011. The facilities consist of the following:

 

   

Overdraft facility amounting to US$2,000 (including overdraft facility denominated in rupiah amounting to Rp17,000). Interest is charged on daily balances at 3.75% per annum and 6% per annum below the HSBC Best Lending Rate for the loan portions denominated in rupiah and U.S. dollar, respectively.

 

   

Revolving loan facility amounting to US$30,000 (including revolving loan denominated in rupiah amounting to Rp255,000). The loan matures within a maximum period of 180 days and can be drawn in tranches with minimum amounts of US$500 and Rp500 for loans denominated in U.S. dollar and rupiah, respectively. Interest is charged on daily balances at 3% per annum above the HSBC Cost of Fund Rate for the loans denominated either in rupiah or U.S. dollar.

As of December 31, 2010, the Company has not used these facilities.

 

  j.

In 1994, the Company was appointed as a Financial Administrator (“FA”) by a consortium which was established to build and sell/lease Asia Pacific Cable Network (“APCN”) submarine cable in countries in the Asia-Pacific Region. As an FA, the Company collected and distributed funds from the sale of APCN’s Indefeasible Right of Use (“IRU”), Defined Underwritten Capacity (“DUC”) and Occasional Commercial Use (“OCU”).

The funds received from the sale of IRU, DUC and OCU and for upgrading the APCN cable did not belong to the Company and, therefore, were not recorded in the Company’s books. However, the Company managed these funds in separate accounts.

As of December 31, 2010, the balance of the funds (including interest earned) which are under the Company’s custody amounted to US$5,428. Besides receiving their share of the funds from the sale of IRU, DUC and OCU, the members of the consortium also received their share of the interest earned by the above funds.

 

  k.

Other agreements made with Telkom are as follows:

 

   

Under a cooperation agreement, the compensation to Telkom relating to leased circuit/channel services, such as world link and bit link, is calculated at 15% of the Company’s collected revenues from such services.

The Company and Satelindo also lease circuits from Telkom to link Jakarta, Medan and Surabaya.

 

   

In 1994, Satelindo entered into a land transfer agreement for the transfer of Telkom’s rights to use a 134,925-square meter land property located at Daan Mogot, West Jakarta, where Satelindo’s earth control station is currently situated. The land transfer agreement enables Satelindo to use the land for a period of 30 years from the date of the agreement, for a price equivalent to US$40,000 less Rp43,220. The term of the agreement may be extended based on mutual agreement.

This agreement was subsequently superseded by a land rental agreement dated December 6, 2001, generally under the same terms as those of the land transfer agreement.

In 1999, Lintasarta entered into an agreement with Telkom, whereby Telkom agreed to lease transponder to Lintasarta. This agreement has been amended several times, the latest amendment of which is based on the ninth amendment agreement dated May 24, 2010. Transponder lease expense charged to operations amounting to Rp30,255 and Rp27,547 in 2009 and 2010, respectively, is presented as part of “Operating Expenses—Cost of Services” in the consolidated statements of income.

30. OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Companies manage and evaluate their operations in three major reportable segments: cellular, fixed telecommunication and MIDI. The operating segments are managed separately because each offers different services/products and serves different markets. The Companies operate in one geographical area only, so no geographical information on segments is presented.

The cellular segment currently provides the network coverage in all major cities and population centers across Indonesia by using GSM 900 and GSM 1800 technology. Its primary service is the provision of voice and data transfer which is sold through post-paid and prepaid plans.

The fixed telecommunication segment is the provider of international long-distance services, fixed wireless services, DLD services and local fixed telephony services.

The MIDI segment offers products and services which include internet, high-speed point-to-point international and domestic digital leased line broadband and narrowband services, a high-performance packet-switching service and satellite transponder leasing and broadcasting services.

Refer to Notes 2f5 and 19 for the description of type of products and services under each reporting segment.

No operating segments have been aggregated to form the above reportable operating segments.

Segment results and assets include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Expenditures for segment assets represent the total costs incurred during the period to acquire segment assets that are expected to be used for more than one year.

Management monitors the operating results of its business units separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on operating profit or loss which in certain respects, as explained in the table below, is measured differently from operating profit or loss in the consolidated financial statements. The Companies’ financing (including finance costs and finance income) and income taxes are managed on a group basis and are not allocated to operating segments.

Operating segments are reported based on financial information determined in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in Indonesia (“Indonesian GAAP”), which information is also consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operation decision maker. The chief operation decision maker is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, and has been identified as a steering committee that makes strategic decisions.

31. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

A. Risk Management

The main risks arising from the Companies’ financial instruments are interest rate risk, foreign exchange rate risk, equity risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The importance of managing these risks has significantly increased in light of the considerable change and volatility in both Indonesian and international financial markets. The Company’s Board of Directors reviews and approves the policies for managing these risks which are summarized below.

and for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010

(Expressed in millions of rupiah and thousands of U.S. dollar, except share and tariff data)

 

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Companies’ exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to their loans and bonds payable with floating interest rates.

The Company’s policies relating to interest rate risk are as follows:

 

  (1)

Manage interest cost through a mix of fixed and variable rate debts. The Company evaluates the fixed to floating rate ratio of its loans and bonds payable in line with movements of relevant interest rates in the financial markets. Based on management’s assessment, new financing will be priced either on a fixed or floating rate basis, and

 

  (2)

Manage interest rate exposure on its loans and bonds payables by entering into interest rate swap contracts.

As of January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2009 and 2010, more than 70%, 50% and 60%, respectively, of the Companies’ debts are fixed-rated.

Several interest rate swap contracts are entered into to hedge floating rate U.S. dollar debts. These contracts are accounted as transactions not designated as hedges, wherein the changes in the fair value are credited or charged directly to profit or loss for the year.

The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates, with all other variables held constant, of the Company’s consolidated profit for the year ended December 31, 2010 (through the impact on floating rate borrowings which is based on LIBOR for U.S. dollar borrowings and on JIBOR for rupiah borrowings).

Management conducted a survey among the Company’s banks to determine the outlook of the LIBOR and JIBOR interest rates until the Company’s next reporting dates of March 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011. The outlook is that the LIBOR and JIBOR interest rates may move 2 and 280 basis points lower, 2 and 10 basis points higher and lower and 1 and 41 basis points higher, respectively, as compared to the year-end interest rates of 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively.

If LIBOR interest rates were 2 basis points lower, 2 and 1 basis points higher than the market levels for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively, with all other variables held constant, the Companies’ profit for the years then ended and the consolidated stockholders’ equity would be Rp2,043,970, Rp1,702,905 and Rp824,128 and Rp17,493,631, Rp18,246,164 and Rp18,317,067,

respectively, which are higher, lower and lower than the actual results for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively, mainly due to the lower, higher and higher interest expense on floating rate borrowings.

If JIBOR interest rates were 280 and 10 basis points lower and 41 basis points higher than the market levels for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively, with all other variables held constant, the Company’ profit for the years then ended and the consolidated stockholders’ equity would be Rp2,130,532, Rp1,707,755 and Rp815,147 and Rp17,580,193, Rp18,251,014 and Rp18,308,086, respectively, which are higher, higher and lower than the actual results for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively, mainly due to the lower, lower and higher interest expense on floating rate borrowings.

Foreign exchange rate risk

Foreign exchange rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Companies’ exposure to exchange rate fluctuations results primarily from U.S. dollar-denominated loans and bonds payable, accounts receivable, accounts payable and procurement payable.

To manage the Companies’ foreign exchange rate risks, several cross currency swap contracts and other permitted instruments, if considered necessary, are entered into. These contracts are accounted for as transactions not designated as hedges, wherein the changes in the fair value are charged or credited directly to profit or loss for the year.

The Companies’ accounts payable are primarily foreign currency net settlement payables to foreign telecommunications operators, while most of the Companies’ accounts receivable are Indonesian rupiah-denominated collections from domestic operators.

To the extent the Indonesian rupiah depreciated further from the exchange rates in effect at December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, the Companies’ obligations under such loans and bonds payable, accounts payable and procurement payable would increase in Indonesian rupiah terms. However, the increases in these obligations would be offset in part by increases in the values of foreign currency-denominated time deposits and accounts receivable. As of January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2009 and 2010, 51.42%, 43.31% and 17.90%, respectively, of the Company’s U.S. dollar-denominated debts were insured from exchange rate risk by entering into several cross currency swap contracts.

     (445,397     266,837        336,582   

Management conducted a survey among the Company’s banks to determine the outlook of the U.S. dollar exchange rate until the Company’s next reporting dates of March 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011. The outlook was that the U.S. dollar exchange rate may strengthen by 6% as compared to the exchange rate at December 31, 2008 and weaken by 3% as compared to the exchange rate at December 31, 2009 and 2010, respectively.

If the U.S. dollar exchange rate strengthened by 6% and weakened by 3% as compared to the exchange rate as of December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, with all other variables held constant, the Companies’ profit for the years then ended and the consolidated stockholders’ equity would be Rp1,598,378, Rp1,970,735 and Rp1,161,219; and Rp17,048,039, Rp18,513,994 and Rp18,654,158, respectively, which are lower, higher and higher than the actual results as of December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively, mainly due to the consolidated foreign exchange loss and gain on the translation of U.S. dollar-denominated net liabilities.

Equity price risk

The Companies’ long-term investments consist primarily of minority investment in the equity of private Indonesian companies and equity of foreign companies. With respect to the Indonesian companies in which the Companies have investments, the financial performance of such companies may be adversely affected by the economic conditions in Indonesia.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that the Companies will incur a loss arising from their customers, clients or counterparties that fail to discharge their contractual obligations. There are no significant concentrations of credit risk. The Companies manage and control this credit risk by setting limits on the amount of risk they are willing to accept for individual or collective customers and by monitoring exposures in relation to such limits.

The Companies trade only with recognized and creditworthy third parties. It is the Companies’ policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis to reduce the exposure to bad debts.

Liquidity risk

The liquidity risk is defined as a risk when the cash flow position of the Companies indicates that the short-term revenue is not enough to cover the short-term expenditure.

The Companies’ liquidity requirements have historically arisen from the need to finance investments and capital expenditures related to the expansion of their telecommunications business. The Companies’ telecommunications business requires substantial capital to construct and expand mobile and data network infrastructure and to fund operations, particularly during the network development stage. Although the Companies have substantial existing network infrastructure, the Companies expect to incur additional capital expenditures primarily in order to focus cellular network development in areas they anticipate will be high-growth areas, as well as to enhance the quality and coverage of their existing network.

B. Capital Management

The Companies aim to achieve an optimal capital structure in pursuit of their business objectives, which include maintaining healthy capital ratios and strong credit ratings, and maximizing stockholder value.

Some of the Companies’ debt instruments contain covenants that impose maximum leverage ratios. In addition, the Company’s credit ratings from the international credit ratings agencies are based on its ability to remain within certain leverage ratios. The Companies have complied with all externally imposed capital requirements.

Management monitors capital using several financial leverage measurements such as debt-to-equity ratio. The Company’s objective is to maintain its debt-to-equity ratio at a maximum of 1.75, 2.50 and 2.50 as of January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2009 and 2010.

32. ECONOMIC CONDITIONS

The operations of the Companies have been affected and may continue to be affected for the foreseeable future by the market events and economic conditions in Indonesia that are mainly characterized by volatility in currency values and interest rates, which could negatively impact economic growth. Economic improvements and recovery are dependent upon several factors, such as fiscal and monetary actions being undertaken by the Government and others, actions that are beyond the control of the Companies. The financial statements include the effects of the economic conditions to the extent they can be estimated.

THE NOTES

Section 2.01. Original Notes; Additional Notes. Subject to Section 2.03, the Trustee shall authenticate Notes for original issue on the Issue Date in the aggregate principal amount of US$650,000,000 (the “Original Notes”) and shall, pursuant to the terms hereof, authenticate and deliver Notes upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, Original Notes pursuant to Section 2.07, 2.08, 2.09 or 3.06 or Appendix A.

The Issuer shall be entitled, subject to its compliance with Section 4.10, to issue Additional Notes under this Indenture, which shall have identical terms as the Original Notes issued on the Issue Date, other than with respect to date of issuance and issue price, and which will rank equally with the Notes in all respects, except for the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date of the Additional Notes and except for the first payment of interest following the issue date of the Additional Notes; provided, however, that unless such Additional Notes are issued under a separate CUSIP number, either such Additional Notes are part of the same “issue” within the meaning of United States Treasury Regulation section 1.1275-1(f) or neither the Notes nor such Additional Notes are issued with more than de minimis original issue discount for United States federal income tax purposes. The Original Notes issued on the Issue Date and any Additional Notes issued shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture. Subject to Section 2.03, the Trustee shall authenticate such Additional Notes and shall, pursuant to the terms hereof, authenticate and deliver Notes upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, Additional Notes pursuant to Section 2.07, 2.08, 2.09 or 3.06 or Appendix A.

With respect to Additional Notes, the Issuer shall set forth in a Board Resolution and an Officers’ Certificate, a copy of each of which shall be delivered to the Trustee, the following information:

(a) the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes to be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture;

(b) the issue price, the issue date and the CUSIP, ISIN or Common Code number of such Additional Notes; and

(c) the applicability of Appendix A to such Additional Notes and whether such Additional Notes shall be issued in one of the forms set forth in Appendix A.

 

23


Section 2.02. Form and Dating. Provisions relating to the Notes are set forth in Appendix A, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made part of this Indenture. The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A to Appendix A which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rules, agreements to which the Issuer is subject, if any, or usage, provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form reasonably acceptable to the Issuer. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The terms of the Original Notes set forth in Exhibit A to Appendix A are part of the terms of this Indenture.

Section 2.03. Execution and Authentication. An Officer shall sign the Notes for the Issuer by manual or facsimile signature.

If an Officer whose signature is on an Original Note no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Original Note, the Original Note shall be valid nevertheless.

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Issuer may deliver Original Notes executed by the Issuer to the Trustee for authentication, together with a written order of the Issuer in the form of an Officers’ Certificate for the authentication and delivery of such Original Notes, and the Trustee in accordance with such written order of the Issuer shall authenticate and deliver such Original Notes.

An Original Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Original Note. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Original Note has been authenticated under this Indenture.

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate the Original Notes. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Original Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as any Registrar, Paying Agent or agent for service of notices and demands.

Section 2.04. Registrar and Paying Agent. The Issuer shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York (the “Registrar”) and one or more offices or agencies where Notes may be presented for payment (the “Principal Paying Agent”) at all times in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York (which initially will be the corporate trust office of The Bank of New York Mellon) and as long as the Notes are listed on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (the “Singapore Exchange”) and if the rules of the Singapore Exchange require, in Singapore (the “Singapore Paying Agent” and together with the Principal Paying Agent, the “Paying Agent”). The Registrar will maintain a register (the “Note Register”) reflecting ownership of the Notes outstanding from time to time and will make payments on and facilitate transfer of the Notes on behalf of the Issuer. The Issuer may have one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Issuer may change the Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to the holders, but only if the Issuer pays Additional Amounts with respect to taxes that may result from such change.

The Issuer shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar, Paying Agent or co-registrar not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any such agent. If the Issuer fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.07. The Issuer or any Wholly-Owned Subsidiary incorporated or organized within the United States may act as Paying Agent, Registrar, co-registrar or transfer agent.

The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar and Principal Paying Agent in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York in connection with the Notes.

 

24


Section 2.05. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. At least one Business Day prior to each due date of the principal and interest on any Note, the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal and interest when so becoming due. Each Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of holders of the Notes or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Issuer in making any such payment. If the Issuer or a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by the Paying Agent. Upon complying with this Section, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if for any reason the amounts received by the Paying Agent pursuant to this Section 2.05 hereof shall be insufficient (together with any funds held by the Paying Agent which are available for such purpose) to satisfy all claims for principal, premium (if any), any other payment obligation of the Issuer and all Additional Amounts in respect of the Notes then due and payable, none of the Paying Agents shall be bound to pay any such claim until either the Paying Agent has received the full amount of the moneys then due and payable in respect of the Notes or other arrangements satisfactory to the Paying Agent have been made.

Section 2.06. Holder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of holders of the Notes. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee, in writing at least five Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of holders of the Notes.

Section 2.07. Replacement Notes. If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar or if the holder of a Note claims that such Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee, upon written order of the Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03, shall authenticate a replacement Note if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code are met and the holder of a Note satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Trustee. If required by the Trustee or the Issuer, such holder of a Note shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Issuer and the Trustee to protect the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar and any co-registrar from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuer and the Trustee may at their absolute discretion charge the holder of a Note for their expenses in replacing a Note.

Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Issuer.

Section 2.08. Outstanding Notes. Notes outstanding at any time are all authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section as not outstanding. A Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer holds the Note.

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Issuer receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser.

If the Paying Agent segregates and holds in trust, in accordance with this Indenture, on a redemption date or maturity date money sufficient to pay all principal and interest payable on that date with respect to the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or maturing, as the case may be, then on and after that date such Notes (or portions thereof) cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.

Section 2.09. Temporary Notes. Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and the Trustee, upon written order of the Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03, shall authenticate definitive Notes and deliver them in exchange for temporary Notes.

 

25


Section 2.10. Cancellation. The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel and destroy all Notes surrendered for payment or cancellation and deliver a certificate of such destruction to the Issuer unless the Issuer directs the Trustee to deliver canceled Notes to the Issuer. The Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace Notes it has redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. The Trustee shall not authenticate Notes in place of canceled Notes other than pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

Section 2.11. Defaulted Interest. If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, the Issuer shall pay the defaulted interest (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) in any lawful manner. The Issuer may pay the defaulted interest to the persons who are holders of Notes on a subsequent special record date. The Issuer shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment date to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee and shall promptly mail to each holder of a Note a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.

Section 2.12. CUSIP, ISIN and Common Code Numbers. The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP,” “ISIN” or “Common Code” numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP,” “ISIN” or “Common Code” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP,” “ISIN” and “Common Code” numbers.

ARTICLE 3

REDEMPTION

Such notice shall be accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate of the Issuer and an Opinion of Counsel from the Issuer to the effect that such redemption will comply with the conditions herein.

The Trustee shall make the selection from outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption. The Trustee may select for redemption portions of the principal of Notes that have denominations larger than US$1,000. Notes and portions of them the Trustee selects shall be in amounts of US$1,000 or a whole multiple of US$1,000. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption. The Trustee shall notify the Issuer promptly of the Notes or portions of Notes to be redeemed.

At the Issuer’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at the Issuer’s expense. In such event, the Issuer shall provide the Trustee with the information required by this Section at least 45 days before the redemption date.

Section 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is mailed, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price stated in the notice. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Notes shall be paid at the redemption price stated in the notice, plus accrued interest to the redemption date (subject to the right of holders of Notes of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the related interest payment date that is on or prior to the date of redemption). Failure to give notice or any defect in the notice to any holder of a Note shall not affect the validity of the notice to any other holder of a Note. Any notice of redemption is irrevocable.

Section 3.05. Deposit of Redemption Price. At least one Business Day prior to the redemption date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Issuer or a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest (subject to the right of holders of Notes of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the related interest payment date that is on or prior to the date of redemption) on all Notes to be redeemed on that date other than Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption that have been delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee for cancellation.

(b) The Parent shall maintain insurance (including appropriate self-insurance) against loss or damage of the kinds that, in the good faith judgment of the Parent, are prudent and customary for the conduct of the business of the Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries, in such amounts, with such deductibles, and by such methods as shall be customary, in the good faith judgment of the Parent, for companies similarly situated in the industry.

Section 4.08. Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws. The Issuer and each Guarantor covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or other law that would prohibit or forgive the Issuer or any such Guarantor, as the case may be, from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on the Notes or performing its Guarantee, as the case may be and as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) the Issuer and each Guarantor, hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

(b) as soon as they are available, but in any event within 60 calendar days after the end of each quarterly period of the Parent, copies of its financial statements (on a consolidated basis and in the English language) in respect of such quarterly period (including a statement of income, balance sheet and cash flow statement).

In addition, the Parent and the Issuer shall furnish to the holders of the Notes and to prospective investors designated by such holders, upon the request of such holders, any information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act so long as the Notes are not freely transferable under the Securities Act by Persons that are not “affiliates” under the Securities Act.

Section 4.10. Limitation on Debt. The Parent shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, Incur, directly or indirectly, any Debt unless, after giving effect to the application of the proceeds thereof, no Default or Event of Default would occur as a consequence of such Incurrence or be continuing following such Incurrence and either:

(a) such Debt is Debt of the Issuer, a Wholly-Owned Finance Subsidiary, or the Guarantor or such Debt is secured or unsecured Non-Public Purchase Money Debt of a Restricted Subsidiary and after giving effect to the Incurrence of such Debt and the application of the proceeds thereof, the Consolidated Debt to EBITDA Ratio would be less than 4.0 to 1.0; or

(iii) (A) Debt of the Guarantor owing to and held by any Restricted Subsidiary (other than an Intercompany Loan), and (B) Debt of any Restricted Subsidiary owing to and held by the Guarantor or any Wholly-Owned Subsidiary; provided, however, that (x) with respect to Debt referred to in clause (iii)(A) above, such Debt is subordinate and junior in right of payment to the Notes and the Guarantee and shall not be secured by any Lien, and (y) subsequent issue or transfer of Capital Stock or other event that results in any such Restricted Subsidiary or Wholly-Owned Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, or any subsequent transfer of any such Debt (except to the Guarantor or Restricted Subsidiary (in the case of clause (iii)(A) above) or to the Guarantor or Wholly-Owned Subsidiary (in the case of clause (iii)(B) above)) shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute the Incurrence of such Debt by the issuer thereof;

(iv) Debt of a Restricted Subsidiary outstanding on the date on which such Restricted Subsidiary was acquired by the Guarantor or otherwise became a Restricted Subsidiary (other than Debt Incurred as consideration in, or to provide all or any portion of the funds or credit support utilized to consummate, the transaction or series of transactions pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary became a Subsidiary of the Guarantor or was otherwise acquired by the Guarantor); provided that at the time such Restricted Subsidiary was acquired by the Guarantor or otherwise became a Restricted Subsidiary and after giving effect to the Incurrence of such Debt, the Parent would have been able to Incur US$1.00 of additional Debt pursuant to clause (a) of the first paragraph of this Section 4.10;

(viii) Debt of the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary in an aggregate principal amount outstanding at any one time not exceeding US$20 million;

(xi) Debt in respect of customary agreements providing for indemnification, adjustments of purchase price after closing, or similar obligations, or from guarantees or letters of credit, surety bonds or performance bonds securing any such obligations of the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to such agreements, Incurred in connection with the disposition of any business, assets or Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than guarantees of Debt Incurred by any Person acquiring all or any portion of any such business, assets or Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary for the purpose of financing such acquisition) and in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the gross proceeds actually received by the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary in connection with such disposition.

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.10, in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Indebtedness described above, including under clause (a) of this Section 4.10, the Issuer, in its sole discretion, shall classify, and from time to time may reclassify, such item of Indebtedness. The Guarantor and the Issuer shall not incur any Debt (including Permitted Debt) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Debt of the Guarantor and the Issuer unless such Debt is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the Notes and the Guarantee on substantially identical terms.

Section 4.11. Limitation on Restricted Payments. The Parent shall not make, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to make, directly or indirectly, any Restricted Payment unless at the time of, and after giving effect to, such proposed Restricted Payment:

(a) no Default or Event of Default would occur or be continuing; and

(b) the Parent could incur at least US$1.00 of additional Debt pursuant to clause (a) of the first paragraph of Section 4.10.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing limitation:

(i) the Parent may pay dividends on its Capital Stock within 60 days of the declaration thereof if, on said declaration date, such dividends could have been paid in compliance with the first paragraph of this Section 4.11; provided, however, that at the time of such payment of such dividend, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or result therefrom);

(ii) the Parent may purchase, repurchase, redeem, legally defease, acquire or retire for value Capital Stock of the Parent or Subordinated Obligations in exchange for, or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale of, Capital Stock of the Parent (other than Disqualified Stock and other than Capital Stock issued or sold to a Subsidiary of the Parent or an employee stock ownership plan or trust established by the Parent or any such Subsidiary for the benefit of their employees);

 

31


(iii) the Parent may purchase, repurchase, redeem, legally defease, acquire or retire for value any Subordinated Obligations in exchange for, or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale of Permitted Refinancing Debt; and

(iv) the Parent may make an Investment in any Person in exchange for the Capital Stock of the Parent (other than Disqualified Stock), provided, however, that at the time of, and after giving effect to, such Investment, the Parent is in compliance with clause (a) of the first paragraph of this Section 4.11.

Section 4.12. Limitation on Liens. The Parent shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, Incur or suffer to exist, any Lien (other than the Permitted Liens) upon any of their Property, whether owned at the Issue Date or thereafter acquired, or any interest therein or any income or profits therefrom, unless it has made or will make effective provision whereby the Notes will be secured by such Lien equally and ratably with (or prior to) all other Debt of the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary secured by such Lien.

Section 4.13. Limitation on Issuance or Sale of Capital Stock of Restricted Subsidiaries. The Parent shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to:

(a) sell, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any shares of Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary; or

(b) permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, issue or sell or otherwise dispose of any of its shares of Capital Stock;

other than, in the case of either clause (a) or (b):

(i) directors’ qualifying shares to the extent required by applicable law;

(ii) to the Parent or a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary;

(iii) Permitted Liens; or

(iv) a disposition of 100% of the shares of Capital Stock of such Restricted Subsidiary held by the Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that, in the case of this clause (iv), such disposition is effected in compliance with Section 4.14; or

(v) the issuance or sale of Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary (other than the Issuer or Indosat Mentari Company B.V.) which remains a Restricted Subsidiary after any such issuance or sale; provided, however, that the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary applies the Net Available Cash of such issuance or sale in accordance with Section 4.14.

Section 4.14. Limitation on Asset Sales. The Parent shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, consummate any Asset Sale in any one transaction or series of transactions unless:

(a) no Default will have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a result of such Asset Sale;

(b) the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the Property subject to such Asset Sale;

(c) in the case of an Asset Sale that constitutes a Material Asset Sale, or which would fall under clause (b) of the second paragraph of this Section 4.14, the Parent could Incur at least US$1.00 of additional Debt pursuant to Section 4.10(a) and

(d) at least 75% of the consideration paid to the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary in connection with such Asset Sale is in the form of any of the following (or any combination thereof):

(i) cash or cash equivalents;

 

32


(ii) the assumption by the purchaser of liabilities of the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or the Guarantee) as a result of which the Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries are no longer obligated with respect to such liabilities; and

(iii) Telecommunications Assets.

The Net Available Cash (or any portion thereof) from Asset Sales shall be applied as follows:

(a) subject to clause (b) of the second paragraph of this Section 4.14, in the case of an Asset Sale that is not a Material Asset Sale, the Net Available Cash may be applied in any manner that does not constitute a Restricted Payment;

(b) if the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Property subject to Asset Sales (other than a Material Asset Sale) in any 12-month period exceeds 5% of Total Assets, the excess of such amount in such 12-month period available as Net Available Cash shall be applied in accordance with clause (c) of the second paragraph of this Section 4.14; and

(c) in the case of an Asset Sale that is a Material Asset Sale, the Net Available Cash (or any portion thereof) may be applied by the Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary, to the extent the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary elects (or is required by the terms of any Debt) as follows:

(i) to Repay Senior Debt (excluding, in any such case, any Debt owed to an Affiliate of a Guarantor, other than the Intercompany Loans); or

(ii) to reinvest in Telecommunications Assets (including by means of an Investment in Telecommunications Assets by a Restricted Subsidiary with Net Available Cash received by the Parent or another Restricted Subsidiary).

Any Net Available Cash from an Asset Sale not applied in accordance with clauses (c)(i) and (c)(ii) of the second paragraph of this Section 4.14 within 360 days from the date of the receipt of such Net Available Cash shall constitute “Excess Proceeds.”

When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds US$50 million (taking into account any income earned on such Excess Proceeds), the Issuer will be required to make an offer to purchase the Notes (the “Prepayment Offer”) which offer shall be in the amount of the Allocable Excess Proceeds, on a pro rata basis according to principal amount, at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the purchase date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date) and Additional Amounts, if any, in accordance with the procedures (including prorating in the event of over-subscription) set forth in this Indenture. To the extent that any portion of Net Available Cash remains after compliance with the preceding sentence, and provided that all holders of Notes have been given the opportunity to tender their Notes for purchase in accordance with this Indenture, the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary may use such remaining amount for any purpose permitted by this Indenture and the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset to zero.

The term “Allocable Excess Proceeds” will mean the product of:

(a) the Excess Proceeds; and

(b) a fraction:

(i) the numerator of which is the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding on the date of the Prepayment Offer; and

 

33


(ii) the denominator of which is the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding on the date of the Prepayment Offer and the aggregate principal amount of other Debt of the Parent outstanding on the date of the Prepayment Offer that is pari passu in right of payment with the Notes and subject to terms and conditions in respect of Asset Sales similar in all material respects to the covenant described hereunder and requiring the Issuer to make an offer to purchase such Debt at substantially the same time as the Prepayment Offer.

Within five Business Days after the Issuer is obligated to make a Prepayment Offer as described in the preceding paragraph, the Parent and the Issuer shall send a written notice, by first-class mail, to the holders of Notes, accompanied by such information regarding the Parent and its Subsidiaries as the Parent and the Issuer in good faith believe will enable such holders of Notes to make an informed decision with respect to such Prepayment Offer. Such notice shall state, among other things, the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be, subject to any contrary requirements of applicable law, a Business Day no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed.

The Issuer will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and with any other applicable securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this Section 4.14. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 4.14, the Parent and the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its or their obligations under this Section 4.14 by virtue thereof.

Section 4.15. Limitation on Restrictions on Distributions from Restricted Subsidiaries. The Parent shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist any consensual restriction on the right of any Restricted Subsidiary to:

(a) pay dividends, in cash or otherwise, or make any other distributions on or in respect of its Capital Stock, or pay any Debt or other obligation owed, to the Parent or any other Restricted Subsidiary;

(b) make any loans or advances to the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary; or

(c) transfer any of its Property to the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary.

The foregoing limitations will not apply:

(i) with respect to clauses (a), (b) and (c), to restrictions:

(A) in Existing Debt;

(B) relating to Debt of a Restricted Subsidiary existing at the time it became a Restricted Subsidiary, provided that (x) such restriction was not created in connection with or in anticipation of the transaction or series of transactions pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary became a Restricted Subsidiary and (y) such restriction is not applicable to any Persons other than such Restricted Subsidiary;

(C) that result from the Refinancing of Debt Incurred pursuant to an agreement referred to in clause (i)(A) or (B) above or in clause (ii)(A) or (B) below; provided that such restriction is no more restrictive than those contained in such Refinanced Debt;

(D) existing under or by reason of applicable law, decree, regulation or rule;

(E) pursuant to any amendment or modification of a restriction permitted by clause (i)(A), (B) or (C) above, provided such restriction as amended or modified is no more restrictive than the restriction prior to such amendment or modification; and

 

34


(F) pursuant to the terms of any Debt permitted to be Incurred by clause (viii) or (ix) under the second paragraph of Section 4.10 or any agreement pursuant to which such Debt was Incurred; provided that (x) the Parent reasonably determines at the time any such Debt is Incurred (and at the time of any modification of the terms of any such encumbrance or restriction) that any such restriction will not materially affect the Parent’s and the Issuer’s ability to make principal or interest payments on the Notes and (y) the restriction is not materially more disadvantageous to the holders of the Notes than is customary in comparable financings or agreements (as determined by the Parent in good faith).

(ii) with respect to clause (c) only, to restrictions:

(A) relating to Debt that is permitted to be Incurred and secured pursuant to Sections 4.10 and 4.12 that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the Property securing such Debt;

(B) encumbering Property at the time such Property was acquired by the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary, so long as such restriction relates solely to the Property so acquired and was not created in connection with or in anticipation of such acquisition;

(C) resulting from customary provisions restricting subletting or assignment of leases or customary provisions in other agreements that restrict assignment of such agreements or rights thereunder; or

(D) customarily contained in asset sale agreements limiting the transfer of such Property pending the closing of such sale.

(iii) with respect to clauses (a) and (c), to restrictions created in connection with a Permitted Islamic Financing Obligation.

Section 4.16. Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates. The Parent shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, conduct any business or enter into or suffer to exist any transaction or series of transactions (including the purchase, sale, transfer, assignment, lease, conveyance or exchange of any Property or the rendering of any service) with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Parent (an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless:

(a) the terms of such Affiliate Transaction are: (i) set forth in writing, (ii) in the best interests of the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, and (iii) no less favorable to the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those that could be obtained in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Parent; and

(b) if such Affiliate Transaction involves aggregate payments or value in excess of US$20 million, the Board of Directors of the Parent (including a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Parent) approves such Affiliate Transaction and, in its good faith judgment, believes that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clauses (a)(ii) and (a)(iii) of the first paragraph of this Section 4.16, as evidenced by a Board Resolution promptly delivered to the Trustee; or

(c) if such Affiliate Transaction involves aggregate payments or value in excess of US$25 million, the Parent obtains a written opinion from an Independent Appraiser to the effect that the consideration to be paid or received in connection with such Affiliate Transaction is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries.

Notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary may enter into or suffer to exist the following:

(a) any transaction or series of transactions between the Parent and one or more Restricted Subsidiaries or between two or more Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business; provided that no more than 5% of the total voting power of the Voting Stock (on a fully diluted basis) of any such Restricted Subsidiary is owned by an Affiliate of the Parent (other than a Restricted Subsidiary);

(b) the payment of compensation (including amounts paid pursuant to employee benefit plans) for the personal services of officers, directors, commissioners and employees of the Parent or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries;

 

35


(c) any agreement as in effect as of the Issue Date that is disclosed in the offering memorandum with respect to the Notes dated July 22, 2010 or any amendment thereto or renewal or extension thereof or any transaction contemplated thereby (including pursuant to any amendment thereto or renewal or extension thereof) or in any replacement agreement thereto so long as any such amendment, renewal, extension or replacement agreement is not more disadvantageous to the holders of the Notes in any material respect than the original agreement as in effect on the Issue Date;

(d) any transaction or series of transactions solely between the Parent and one or more Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries or between two or more Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries;

(e) payments to the Indonesian government or any subdivision thereof or transactions entered into, in each case as required under (i) the laws of the Republic of Indonesia or applicable decrees, regulations or rules thereof or (ii) any license or permit issued by the Indonesian government or any subdivision thereof (for the avoidance of doubt, Indonesian government or any subdivision thereof excludes any corporate entity or business enterprise controlled by the Indonesian government or any subdivision thereof); and

(f) Affiliate Transactions in the ordinary course of business of the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary, provided that the terms of any of such Affiliate Transactions comply with clauses (a) and (b) of the first paragraph of this Section 4.16, except that the terms of any of such Affiliate Transactions pursuant to interconnection agreements, roaming agreements or transmission or leased line agreements with other telecommunications carriers shall only be required to comply with clause (a) of the first paragraph of this Section 4.16.

Section 4.17. Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries. The Board of Directors of the Parent may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary properly designated will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and subject to Section 4.11 or under one or more clauses of the definition of “Permitted Investments,” as determined by the Parent. That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. The definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary” requires that all Debt of an Unrestricted Subsidiary, whether in existence at the time of designation as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, or Incurred thereafter, be Non-Recourse Debt. The Board of Directors of the Parent may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if the redesignation would not cause a Default.

Section 4.18. Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions. The Parent shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction with respect to any Property unless:

(a) the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary would be permitted to:

(i) Incur Debt in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt with respect to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction pursuant to Section 4.10; and

(ii) create a Lien on such Property securing such Attributable Debt pursuant to Section 4.12; and

(b) such Sale and Leaseback Transaction is effected in compliance with Section 4.14.

Notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, the Parent and any Restricted Subsidiaries may enter into Sale and Leaseback Transactions in connection with any Qualified Tower Sale.

Section 4.19. Limitation on Business. The Parent shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, engage in any business other than a Telecommunications Business, except to such extent as would not exceed one percent of the total consolidated tangible assets of the Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries.

 

36


Section 4.20. Change of Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, each holder of Notes shall have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part of such holder’s Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a purchase price (the “Change of Control Purchase Price”) equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, to the repurchase date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date that is on or prior to the date of repurchase).

(a) Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Issuer and the Parent shall send, by first-class mail, with a copy to the Trustee, to each holder of Notes, at such holder’s address appearing in the Register, a notice stating: (i) that a Change of Control Triggering Event has occurred and a Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.20 and that all Notes timely tendered will be accepted for payment; (ii) the Change of Control Purchase Price and the purchase date, which shall be, subject to any contrary requirements of applicable law, a Business Day no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”); (iii) the circumstances and relevant facts regarding the Change of Control Triggering Event (including information with respect to pro forma historical income, cash flow and capitalization after giving effect to the Change of Control); and (iv) the procedures that holders of Notes must follow in order to tender their Notes (or portions thereof) for payment, and the procedures that holders of Notes must follow in order to withdraw an election to tender Notes (or portions thereof) for payment.

(b) Holders of Notes electing to have a Note purchased shall be required to surrender the Note, with an appropriate form duly completed, to the Issuer or its agent at the address specified in the notice at least three Business Days prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. Holders of Notes shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Trustee or the Issuer receives not later than 10 a.m., The City of New York time, one Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the holder of a Note, the principal amount of the Note that was delivered for purchase by the holder of a Note and a statement that such holder of a Note is withdrawing its election to have such Note purchased.

(c) On or prior to the Business Day before the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer shall irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent (or, if the Issuer or any of its Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries is acting as the Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust) in cash an amount equal to the Change of Control Purchase Price payable to the holders of Notes entitled thereto, to be held for payment in accordance with the provisions of this Section. On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee the Notes or portions thereof that have been properly tendered to and are to be accepted by the Issuer for payment. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall, on the Change of Control Payment Date, mail or deliver payment to each tendering holder of a Note of the Change of Control Purchase Price. In the event that the aggregate Change of Control Purchase Price is less than the amount delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee or the Paying Agent, the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall deliver the excess to the Issuer immediately after the Change of Control Payment Date.

(d) The Issuer and the Parent will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.20, the Issuer and the Parent will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its or their obligations under this Section 4.20 by virtue of such compliance.

 

37


Section 4.21. Suspension of Certain Covenants. Following the first day (the “Suspension Date”) that (a) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from at least two Rating Agencies and (b) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to the following provisions of this Indenture:

 

   

Section 4.10,

 

   

Section 4.11,

 

   

Section 4.13,

 

   

Section 4.14,

 

   

Section 4.15,

 

   

Section 4.16,

 

   

Section 4.17,

 

   

Clauses (a)(i) and (b) of Section 4.18,

 

   

Section 4.19, and

 

   

Clauses (e) and (g) of Section 5.01

(collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”). In the event that the Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants for any period of time as a result of the preceding sentence and, on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”), either (i) two or more Rating Agencies have assigned ratings to the Notes below the required Investment Grade Ratings or (ii) a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then the Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants. The period of time between the Suspension Date and the Reversion Date is referred to in this Section 4.21 as the “Suspension Period”. Notwithstanding that the Suspended Covenants may be reinstated, no Default will be deemed to have occurred as a result of a failure to comply with the Suspended Covenants during the Suspension Period.

On the Reversion Date, all Debt Incurred during the Suspension Period will be classified to have been Incurred pursuant to clause (a) of the first paragraph or one of the clauses set forth in the second paragraph of Section 4.10 (to the extent such Debt would be permitted to be Incurred thereunder as of the Reversion Date and after giving effect to Debt Incurred prior to the Suspension Period and outstanding on the Reversion Date). To the extent such Debt would not be so permitted to be Incurred pursuant to clause (a) of the first paragraph or one of the clauses set forth in the second paragraph of Section 4.10, such Debt will be deemed to have been in existence on the Issue Date for the purposes of the definition of “Existing Debt” so that it is classified as permitted under clause (ii) of the second paragraph of Section 4.10.

On the Reversion Date, all Restricted Payments and Permitted Investments declared or made during the Suspension Period will be classified to have been declared or made in compliance with Section 4.11.

For purposes of determining compliance with clause (c) of the second paragraph of Section 4.14, on the Reversion Date, the Net Available Cash from all Asset Sales not applied in accordance with the covenant will be deemed to be reset to zero.

 

38


Section 4.22. Additional Amounts. All payments of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and all payments under the Guarantee will be made without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or within any jurisdiction in which the Issuer or the Guarantor, is organized or resident for tax purposes (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) (each, as applicable, a “Relevant Jurisdiction”) or through which payment is made, unless such withholding or deduction is required by law or by regulation or governmental policy having the force of law. In such event, the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, will make such deduction or withholding, make payment of the amount so withheld to the appropriate governmental authority and will pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as will result in receipt by the holder of such amounts as would have been received by such holder had no such withholding or deduction been required, provided that no Additional Amounts will be payable:

(a) for or on account of:

(i) any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for:

(k) a Payment Event of Default with respect to the 7.75% Guaranteed Notes due 2010 and 7.125% Guaranteed Notes due 2012.

A Default under clause (d) will not be an Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding notify the Issuer of the Default and the Issuer does not procure the cure of such Default within the time specified after receipt of such notice. Such notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is a “Notice of Default.

Section 6.02. Acceleration.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

 

44


Section 6.03. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any holder of the Notes in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative.

Section 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. The holders of Notes of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may waive an existing Default and its consequences except (a) a Default in the payment of the principal of, premium or interest on a Note or (b) a Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended without the consent of each holder of the Notes. When a Default is waived, it is deemed cured, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any consequent right.

Section 6.05. Control by Majority. The holders of the Notes of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Notes.

Prior to taking any action hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification and/or security to the satisfaction of the Trustee against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits. A holder of a Note may not institute any proceeding with respect to this Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any remedy thereunder, unless:

(d) the Trustee has not received from the holders of Notes of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request.

The foregoing limitations on the pursuit of remedies by a holder of a Note shall not apply to a suit instituted by a holder of Notes for the enforcement of payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on, such Note on or after the applicable due date specified in such Note. A holder of Notes may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another holder of Notes or to obtain a preference or priority over another holder of Notes.

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or (b) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust for the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on any unpaid interest to the extent lawful) and the amounts provided for in Section 7.07.

Section 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and the holders of Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer, the Parent or any other Guarantor, their creditors or their property and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the holders of Notes in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each holder of Notes to make payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the holders of Notes, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances properly incurred by the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07.

(b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on the Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

(c) The Trustee may act through agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed with due care.

(d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers; provided, however, that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute wilful misconduct or gross negligence.

(e) The Trustee may consult with professional advisors and counsel of its selection, and the advice or opinion of such professional advisors or counsel with respect to legal matters or otherwise relating to this Indenture and the Notes shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.

(f) The permissive rights of the Trustee to do things enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty unless so specified herein.

(g) The Trustee shall not be obligated to supervise the performance of any parties to the transaction documents, including this Indenture, of their respective obligations under the transaction documents or any other documents related thereto and the Trustee shall be entitled to assume, until it has actual knowledge to the contrary, that all such persons are properly performing their duties thereunder.

 

48


(h) Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand, request, direction or notice from the Issuer will be sufficient if signed by an Officer of the Issuer.

(i) Whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officer’s Certificate.

(j) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it may make a request for information from the Issuer to the extent the sharing of such information is permitted by law and not subject to any confidentiality restrictions.

(k) The Trustee may request that the Issuer deliver an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officers’ Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officers’ Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

(l) The Trustee may purchase, hold and dispose of Notes and may enter into any transaction (including, without limitation, any depositary, trust or agency transaction) with any Holders of Notes or with any other party hereto in the same manner as if it had not been appointed as Trustee, without being obliged to account for any profits.

Section 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Parent, the Issuer or their Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Sections 7.10 and 7.11.

Section 7.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity, priority or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s or the Parent’s use of the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuer in this Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication.

Section 7.05. Notice of Defaults. If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail, at the expense of the Parent, to each holder of Notes notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs or 30 days after it is known to a Trust Officer or written notice of it is received by the Trustee. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its trust officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of holders of Notes.

Section 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders. If required by TIA § 313(a), as promptly as practicable after each July 29 beginning with July 29, 2010 and in any event prior to October 29 in each year, the Trustee shall mail, at the expense of the Parent, to each Holder a brief report dated as of July 29 each year that complies with TIA § 313(a). The Trustee shall also comply with TIA § 313(b) and TIA § 313(c).

A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to holders of Notes shall be filed with the Commission and each stock exchange (if any) on which the Notes are listed. The Parent agrees to notify promptly the Trustee whenever the Notes become listed on any stock exchange and of any delisting thereof.

 

49


Section 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity. The Parent shall pay to the Trustee from time to time compensation for its services as agreed between the Trustee and the Issuer. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Parent shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all out-of-pocket expenses properly incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the properly incurred compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Parent shall indemnify the Trustee against any and all loss, liability or expense (including properly incurred attorneys’ fees) incurred by it in connection with the acceptance and administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder. The Trustee shall notify the Parent promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Parent shall not relieve the Parent of its obligations hereunder. The Parent shall defend the claim and the Trustee may have separate counsel and the Parent shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. The Parent need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own wilful misconduct or gross negligence. The Parent need not pay for any settlement made by the Trustee without the Parent’s consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. All indemnifications and releases from liability granted hereunder to the Trustee shall extend to its officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns.

To secure the Parent’s payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Notes.

The Parent’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the discharge of this Indenture. When the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 6.01(g) or (h) with respect to the Parent, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Law.

Section 7.08. Replacement of Trustee. The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Parent. The holders of Notes of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee. The Parent shall remove the Trustee if:

(a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;

(b) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

(c) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

(d) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

If the Trustee resigns, is removed by the Parent or by the holders of Notes of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding and such holders of Notes do not reasonably promptly appoint a successor Trustee, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Parent shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Parent. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to holders of Notes. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.07.

If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee or the holders of Notes of 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

 

50


If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any holder of Notes who has been a bona fide holder of a Note for at least six months may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Parent’s obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

Section 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or banking association without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any such successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force any certificate of the Trustee has pursuant to the Notes or this Indenture.

Section 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification. The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA § 310(a). The Trustee shall have (or, in the case of a corporation included in a bank holding company system, the related bank holding company shall have) a combined capital and surplus of at least US$50,000,000 as set forth in its (or its related bank holding company’s) most recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 310(b), provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA § 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other securities of the Issuer are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA § 310(b)(1) are met.

Section 7.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Issuer. The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA § 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated.

Section 7.12. Other Capacities. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, (a) all references in this Indenture to the Trustee shall be deemed to refer to the Trustee in its capacity as Trustee and in its capacities as Registrar and Paying Agent and (b) every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability or offering protection, immunity or indemnity to the Trustee shall be deemed to apply with the same force and effect to the Trustee acting in its capacities as Registrar and Paying Agent.

ARTICLE 8

DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE; DEFEASANCE

Section 8.01. Discharge of Liability on Notes; Defeasance.

(a) When (i) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee all outstanding Notes (other than Notes replaced pursuant to Section 2.07) for cancellation or (ii) all outstanding Notes have become due and payable, whether at maturity or as a result of the mailing of a notice of redemption pursuant to Article 3 and the Issuer irrevocably deposits with the Trustee funds sufficient to pay at maturity or upon redemption all outstanding Notes, including interest thereon to maturity or such redemption date (other than Notes replaced pursuant to Section 2.07), and if in either case the Issuer pays all other sums payable hereunder by the Issuer, then this Indenture shall, subject to Section 8.01(c), cease to be of further effect. The Trustee shall acknowledge satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture on demand of the Issuer accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel and at the cost and expense of the Issuer.

 

51


(b) Subject to Sections 8.01(c) and 8.02, the Issuer or the Guarantor at any time may terminate (i) all of their obligations under the Notes and this Indenture (“legal defeasance”) or (ii) their obligations under Sections 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14, 4.15, 4.16, 4.17, 4.18, 4.19, 4.20, 4.24 and 4.25 and the operation of Sections 6.01(e), 6.01(f), 6.01(g) and 6.01(h) (but, in the case of Sections 6.01(g) and (h), with respect only to Significant Subsidiaries) and the limitations contained in clauses (e) and (g) of the first paragraph of Section 5.01 (“covenant defeasance”). The Issuer may exercise its legal defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its covenant defeasance option.

If the Issuer exercises its legal defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default with respect thereto. If the Issuer exercises its covenant defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(d) (with respect to the covenants of Article 4 identified in the immediately preceding paragraph), 6.01(e), 6.01(f), 6.01(g) or 6.01(h) (with respect only to Significant Subsidiaries in the case of Sections 6.01(g) and 6.01(h)) or because of the failure of the Parent to comply with the limitations contained in clauses (e) and (g) of the first paragraph of Section 5.01.

Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein and upon request of the Issuer, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of those obligations that the Issuer terminates.

(c) Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, the Issuer’s and the Guarantor’s obligations in Sections 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 4.22, 7.07, 7.08, 8.05 and 8.06 shall survive until the Notes have been paid in full. Thereafter, the Issuer’s obligations in Sections 7.07 and 8.05 shall survive.

Section 8.02. Conditions to Defeasance. The Issuer may exercise its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option only if:

(a) the Issuer irrevocably deposits in trust with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal of, premium and interest on the Notes to maturity or redemption, as the case may be;

(b) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee a certificate from a nationally-recognized firm of independent certified public accountants expressing their opinion that the payments of principal and interest when due and without reinvestment on the deposited U.S. Government Obligations plus any deposited money without investment will provide cash at such times and in such amounts as will be sufficient to pay principal, premium and interest when due on all the Notes to maturity or redemption, as the case may be;

(c) 123 days pass after the deposit is made and during the 123-day period no Default specified in Section 6.01(g) or (h) with respect to the Issuer, the Parent or any other Person making such deposit occurs that is continuing at the end of the period;

(d) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit and after giving effect thereto;

(e) the deposit does not constitute a default under any other agreement or instrument binding on the Issuer, the Parent or any Guarantor;

(f) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the trust resulting from the deposit does not constitute, or is qualified as, a regulated investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940;

 

52


(g) in the case of the legal defeasance option, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel of recognized standing with respect to U.S. federal income tax matters stating that (i) the Issuer has received from the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (ii) since the date of this Indenture there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law, to the effect, in either case, that and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the beneficial owners of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same time as would have been the case if such defeasance had not occurred;

(h) in the case of the covenant defeasance option, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel of recognized standing with respect to U.S. federal income tax matters to the effect that the beneficial owners of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such covenant defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such covenant defeasance had not occurred;

(i) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the defeasance and discharge of the Notes as contemplated by this Article 8 have been complied with; and

(j) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in The Netherlands and the Republic of Indonesia to the effect that beneficial owners of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for Dutch or Indonesian tax purposes as a result of such deposit and defeasance and will be subject to Dutch or Indonesian taxes (including withholding taxes) on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and defeasance had not occurred.

Before or after a deposit, the Issuer may make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the redemption of Notes at a future date in accordance with Article 3.

Section 8.03. Application of Trust Money. The Trustee shall hold in trust money or U.S. Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to this Article 8. It shall apply the deposited money and the money from U.S. Government Obligations through the Paying Agent and in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes.

Section 8.04. Repayment to the Issuer. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly turn over to the Issuer any excess money or securities held by them at any time.

Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Issuer upon request any money held by them for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two years, and, thereafter, holders of Notes entitled to the money must look only to the Issuer for payment as general creditors.

Section 8.05. Indemnity for Government Obligations. The Issuer and the Parent shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against deposited U.S. Government Obligations or the principal and interest received on such U.S. Government Obligations.

Section 8.06. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article 8 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article 8 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article 8; provided, however, that, if the Issuer has made any payment of interest on or principal of any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE 9

AMENDMENTS

Section 9.01. Without Consent of Holders. The Issuer, the Guarantor and the Trustee may amend this Indenture or the Notes without notice to or consent of any holder of the Notes:

(a) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency;

(b) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes; provided, however, that the uncertificated Notes are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code or in a manner such that the uncertificated Notes are described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the Code;

(c) to add additional Guarantees with respect to the Notes;

(d) to secure the Notes, to add to the covenants of the Parent for the benefit of the holders of the Notes or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Parent; or

(e) to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any holder of the Notes.

After an amendment under this Section becomes effective, the Parent shall mail to holders of Notes a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all holders of Notes, or any defect therein, will not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section.

Section 9.02. With Consent of Holders. The Issuer and the Trustee may amend this Indenture or the Notes with the written consent of the holders of Notes of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. However, without the consent of each holder of Notes affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver may not:

(a) reduce the amount of Notes whose holders must consent to an amendment or waiver;

(b) reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest on any Note;

(c) reduce the principal of or extend the Stated Maturity of any Note;

(d) make any Note payable in a currency other than that stated in the Note;

(e) impair the right of any holder of the Notes to receive payment of principal of and interest on such holder’s Notes on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such holder’s Notes;

(f) subordinate the Notes to any other obligation of the Issuer or the Guarantor;

(g) release any security interest that may have been granted in favor of the holders of Notes other than pursuant to the terms of such security interest;

54


(j) at any time after the Issuer is obligated to make a Prepayment Offer with the Excess Proceeds from Asset Sales, change the time at which such Prepayment Offer must be made or at which the Notes must be repurchased pursuant thereto;

(k) modify the provisions of Section 4.25;

(l) release the Parent or any other Guarantor from any of its obligations under any Guarantee of the Notes or this Indenture, except in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;

(m) amend, change or modify the Guarantee in a manner that adversely affects the holders of the Notes;

(o) make any change in the preceding amendment and waiver provisions.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the holders of Notes under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

After an amendment under this Section becomes effective, the Issuer shall mail to holders of Notes at the holder’s address as it appears on the registration books of the Registrar a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all holders of Notes, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section.

Section 9.03. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. If this Indenture is, at any time, required to be qualified under the TIA, from the date of such qualification, every amendment to this Indenture or the Notes shall comply with the TIA as then in effect.

Section 9.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents and Waivers. A consent to an amendment or a waiver by a holder of a Note shall bind the holder of a Note and every subsequent holder of that Note or portion of the Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent or waiver is not made on the Note. However, any such holder or subsequent holder may revoke the consent or waiver as to such holder’s Note or portion of the Note if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment or waiver becomes effective. After an amendment or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every holder of the Notes. An amendment or waiver becomes effective upon the execution of such amendment or waiver by the Trustee.

The Issuer may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the holders of Notes entitled to give their consent or take any other action described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were holders of Notes at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be holders of Notes after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date.

Section 9.05. Notation on or Exchange of Notes. If an amendment changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee may require the holder of the Note to deliver such Note to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Note regarding the changed terms and return such Note to the holder of the Note. Alternatively, if the Issuer or the Trustee so determines, the Issuer in exchange for the Note shall issue and the Trustee, upon written order of the Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03, shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Note shall not affect the validity of such amendment.

 

55


Section 9.06. Trustee to Sign Amendments and Waivers. The Trustee and the Issuer shall sign any amendment or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may but need not sign it. In signing such amendment or waiver the Trustee shall be entitled to receive indemnity satisfactory to it and to receive, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and complies with the provisions hereof (including Section 9.03).

Section 9.07. Payment for Consent. The Issuer will not directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration to or for the benefit of any holder of Notes for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid and is paid to all holders of the Notes that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer shall be permitted, in any offer or payment of consideration for, or as an inducement to, any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, to exclude holders of Notes in any jurisdiction where (a) the solicitation of such consent, waiver or amendment in the manner deemed appropriate by the Issuer and the payment of consideration therefor would require the Issuer or the Parent to (i) file a registration statement, prospectus or similar document or subject the Issuer or the Parent to ongoing periodic reporting or similar requirements under any securities laws (including, but not limited to, the United States federal securities laws and the laws of the European Union or its member states), (ii) qualify as a foreign corporation or other entity or as a dealer in securities in such jurisdiction if it is not otherwise required to so qualify, (iii) generally consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction or (iv) subject the Issuer or the Parent to taxation in any such jurisdiction if it is not otherwise so subject; or (b) such solicitation would otherwise not be permitted under applicable law in such jurisdiction.

ARTICLE 10

GUARANTEE

Section 10.01. Guarantee.

(a) The Guarantor hereby guarantees to each of the holders of the Notes and their respective successors and assigns and to the Trustee on behalf of each of the holders of the Notes, that: (i) the principal of and interest and any other amounts due on the Notes (the “Guaranteed Obligations”) will be promptly paid in full when due, subject to any applicable grace period, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal, if any, and interest on any interest, to the extent lawful, of the Notes and all other obligations of the Issuer to the holders of the Notes hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Notes or of any such other obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, subject to any applicable grace period, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. The Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any of the holders of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the failure to obtain recovery of any judgment against the Issuer, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the Guarantor. The Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that the Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes, this Indenture and in the Guarantee. If any holder of the Notes or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuer, the Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Issuer or the Guarantor, any amount paid by the Issuer or the Guarantor to the Trustee or such holder of the Notes, the Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect as before return of such amounts. The Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the holders of the Notes and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 for the purposes of the Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor for the purpose of the Guarantee.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, the Guarantor agrees that:

(i) The occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not affect the enforceability or effectiveness of the Guarantee or this Indenture in accordance with their respective terms or affect, limit, reduce, discharge or terminate the liability of the Guarantor, or the rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Trustee or any holder of the Notes, under the Guarantee or this Indenture:

(A) any modification or amendment (including without limitation by way of amendment, extension, renewal or waiver), or any acceleration or other change in the time for payment or performance of the terms of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any Note or this Indenture, or any other agreement or instrument whatsoever relating thereto;

(B) any release, termination, waiver, abandonment, lapse or expiration, subordination or enforcement of the liability of the Guarantor under this Indenture or the Guarantee of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(C) any application of the proceeds of any other guarantee (including without limitation any letter of credit or the obligations of any other guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations) to all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations in any such manner as the holders of the Notes may determine;

 

57

The Issuer and the Guarantor agree that the failure of any such designee, appointee and agent to give any notice of such service to it shall not impair or affect in any way the validity of such service or any judgment rendered in any action or proceeding based thereon. Nothing herein shall in any way be deemed to limit the ability of the Trustee to serve any such legal process, summons, notices and documents in any other manner permitted by applicable law. The Issuer and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions, suits or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Indenture brought in federal or state court in the State of New York, County of New York, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

1.

Interest.

INDOSAT PALAPA COMPANY B.V., a private company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of The Netherlands and having its statutory seat in Amsterdam, The Netherlands (such corporation, and its successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein called the “Issuer”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum shown above. The Issuer will pay interest semiannually on January 29 and July 29 of each year, commencing on January 29, 2011. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from July 29, 2010. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by the Notes plus 1% per annum, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by the Notes to the extent lawful.

 

2.

Method of Payment.

The Issuer will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered holders of Notes at the close of business on the January 14 or July 14 next preceding the interest payment date even if Notes are canceled after the record date and on or before the interest payment date. Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Issuer will pay principal and interest in money of the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of the Notes represented by a Global Note (including principal, premium and interest) will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by The Depository Trust Company. The Issuer will make all payments in respect of a Definitive Note (including principal, premium and interest) by mailing a check to the registered address of each holder of a Note thereof; provided, however, that payments on the Notes may also be made, in the case of a holder of a Note of at least US$1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes, by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such holder of a Note elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion).

 

3.

Paying Agent and Registrar.

Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon, a New York banking association (the “Trustee”), will act as Principal Paying Agent and Registrar, and, as long as the Notes are listed on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (the “Singapore Exchange”) and if the rules of the Singapore Exchange requires, the Issuer shall appoint a paying agent in Singapore. The Issuer may appoint and change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar without notice. The Issuer or any Wholly-Owned Subsidiary incorporated or organized within the United States may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar.

 

4.

Indenture.

The Issuer issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of July 29, 2010 (the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, the Guarantor and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the date of the Indenture (the “TIA”). Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and holders of the Notes are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of those terms.

 

Exh-A-4


The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Issuer, unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by the Guarantor. The Notes consist of US$650,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Original Notes and any Additional Notes that may be issued under the Indenture. The Original Notes and any Additional Notes are treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture. The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries to, among other things, make certain Investments and other Restricted Payments, pay dividends and other distributions, incur Debt, enter into consensual restrictions upon the payment of certain dividends and distributions by such Restricted Subsidiaries, issue or sell shares of capital stock of such Restricted Subsidiaries, enter into or permit certain transactions with Affiliates, create or incur Liens, make Asset Sales, enter into or permit Sale and Leaseback Transactions and engage in business other than a Telecommunications Business. The Indenture also imposes certain obligations with respect to the payment of Additional Amounts. The Indenture further imposes limitations on the ability of the Parent to consolidate or merge with or into any other Person or sell, transfer, assign, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the Property of the Parent. These covenants are subject to important exceptions and qualifications and certain of them are subject to suspension during any period that the Notes have an Investment Grade Rating from at least two Rating Agencies.

 

5.

Optional Redemption.

Except as set forth below, the Notes may not be redeemed prior to July 29, 2015. On and after that date, the Issuer may redeem the Notes in whole or in part at any time and from time to time at the following redemption prices (expressed in percentages of principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts thereon, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date that is on or prior to the date of redemption), if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on or after July 29 of the years set forth below:

Any such redemption shall be made within 75 days of such Public Equity Offering.

Redemption for Tax Reasons.

The Notes may be redeemed, at the option of the Issuer or the Parent, in whole but not in part, at any time upon not less than 30 days’ nor more than 60 days’ notice as provided in the Indenture to the holders of the Notes (which notice will be irrevocable), at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus any accrued and unpaid interest to (but not including) the redemption date and any Additional Amounts which otherwise would be payable only if, as a result of (1) any change in, or amendment to, the laws or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder of a Relevant Jurisdiction, as defined below, affecting taxation; or (2) any change in, or amendment to, the official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings (including a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction), which change or amendment becomes effective on or after the Issue Date with respect to any payment due or to become due under the Notes, the Indenture, any Intercompany Loan or the Guarantee, the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, is, or on the next Notes Interest Payment Date would be, required to pay Additional Amounts (or, in the case of any payment with respect to an Intercompany Loan, would be required to withhold or deduct any taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature), and such requirement cannot be avoided by taking reasonable measures by the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be; provided that changing the jurisdiction of the Issuer or the Guarantor is not a reasonable measure for the purposes of this section; provided further that no such notice of redemption will be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts (or, in the case of an Intercompany Loan, withhold or deduct such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges) if a payment in respect of the Notes (or on an Intercompany Loan, as applicable) were then due; provided further that where any such requirement to pay Additional Amounts (or withhold or deduct an amount from any payment with respect to any Intercompany Loan) is due to taxes of the Republic of Indonesia (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein), the Issuer or the Parent shall be permitted to redeem the Notes in accordance with the provisions above only if the rate of withholding or deduction in respect of which Additional Amounts are required (or in respect of which withholding is required on payments on an Intercompany Loan) is in excess of 20.0%.

Prior to the mailing of any notice of redemption of the Notes pursuant to the foregoing, the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, will deliver to the Trustee:

(a) an Officers’ Certificate stating that such change or amendment referred to in clauses (1) or (2) of the first paragraph of this Section 6 above has occurred, and describing the facts related thereto and stating that such requirement cannot be avoided by the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, taking reasonable measures available to it; and

(b) an Opinion of Counsel (from the Relevant Jurisdiction) stating that the requirement to pay such Additional Amounts results from such change or amendment referred to in clauses (1) and (2) of the first paragraph of this Section 6.

The Trustee will accept such certificate and opinion as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the conditions precedent described above, and it will be conclusive and binding on the holders. The Trustee has no duty to and will not investigate or verify such certificate and opinion.

 

7.

Additional Amounts.

All payments of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and all payments under the Guarantee will be made without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or within any jurisdiction in which the Issuer or the Guarantor, is organized or resident for tax purposes (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) (each, as applicable, a “Relevant Jurisdiction”) or through which payment is made, unless such withholding or deduction is required by law or by regulation or governmental policy having the force of law. In such event, the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, will make such deduction or withholding, make payment of the amount so withheld to the appropriate governmental authority and will pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as will result in receipt by the holder of such amounts as would have been received by such holder had no such withholding or deduction been required, provided that no Additional Amounts will be payable:

(a) for or on account of:

(i) any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for:

 

Exh-A-6


(A) the existence of any present or former connection between the holder or beneficial owner of such Note or Guarantee, as the case may be, and the Relevant Jurisdiction or jurisdiction through which payment is made including, without limitation, such holder or beneficial owner being or having been a citizen or resident of such Relevant Jurisdiction or jurisdiction through which payment is made or treated as a resident thereof or being or having been physically present or engaged in a trade or business therein or having or having had a permanent establishment therein, other than merely holding such Note, the receipt of payments thereunder or under the Guarantee or enforcing payment under the Note or the Guarantee;

(B) the presentation of such Note (where presentation is required) more than 30 days after the later of the date on which the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, such Note became due and payable pursuant to the terms thereof or was made or duly provided for, except to the extent that the holder thereof would have been entitled to such Additional Amounts if it had presented such Note for payment on any date within such 30-day period;

(C) the failure of the holder or beneficial owner to comply with a timely request of the Issuer or the Guarantor addressed to the holder or beneficial owner, as the case may be, to provide information to the Issuer or the Guarantor concerning such holder’s or beneficial owner’s nationality, residence, identity or connection with any Relevant Jurisdiction or jurisdiction through which payment is made, if and to the extent that due and timely compliance with such request would have reduced or eliminated any withholding or deduction as to which Additional Amounts would have otherwise been payable to such holder, provided that the information must not be materially more onerous, in form, in procedure or in substance of information disclosed, to a holder or beneficial owner of a Note than comparable information or other reporting requirements imposed under United States tax law, regulations and administrative practice; or

(D) the presentation of such Note (where presentation is required) for payment in the Relevant Jurisdiction or jurisdiction through which payment is made, unless such Note could not have been presented for payment elsewhere;

(ii) any estate, inheritance, gift, sale, transfer, excise or personal property or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

(iii) any withholding or deduction in respect of any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge where such withholding or deduction is imposed or levied on a payment to an individual and is required to be made pursuant to European Council Directive 2003/48/EC or any other Directive implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN Council meeting of November 26-27, 2000 on the taxation of savings income or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directives;

(iv) any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge which is payable other than (A) by deduction or withholding from payments of principal of or interest on the Note or payments under the Guarantee, or (B) by direct payment by the Issuer or the Guarantor in respect of claims made against the Issuer or the Guarantor; or

(v) any combination of taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges referred to in the preceding clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv); or

(b) with respect to any payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, such Note or any payment under the Guarantee to such holder, if the holder is a fiduciary, partnership or person other than the sole beneficial owner of any payment to the extent that such payment would be required to be included in the income under the laws of a Relevant Jurisdiction or jurisdiction through which payment is made, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, or a member of that partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to such Additional Amounts had that beneficiary, settlor, partner, or beneficial owner been the holder thereof.

As a result of these provisions, there are circumstances in which taxes could be withheld or deducted but Additional Amounts would not be payable to some or all beneficial owners of Notes.

 

Exh-A-7
