BNBR to have direct ownership in BUMI

P

ublicly listed PT Bakrie & Brothers (BNBR) said that it would directly own part of the shares of PT Bumi Resources (BUMI) after the Bakrie Group takes over the latter from London listed Bumi plc.

“After the transaction, the company will hold its own stake in BUMI, not with Bakrie Group. But, the company will not become a majority shareholder in BUMI,” BNBR said in a written statement to the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX).
