This regulation replaces the previous rules on share repurchases by public companies, introducing new mechanisms for transferring repurchased shares and extending the transfer period to three years, with possible extensions if at least 10% of shares are transferred or if the share price remains below the average repurchase price. It mandates specific disclosure requirements prior to shareholder approval, restricts funding sources to internal funds excluding loans or public offerings, and sets strict pricing limits for on-exchange and off-exchange transactions. The regulation also prohibits simultaneous repurchases during significant market fluctuations and requires periodic reporting to the Financial Services Authority regarding both the execution of repurchases and the subsequent transfer of those shares.

REGARDING
SHARE REPURCHASE BY PUBLIC COMPANIES
I. GENERAL
Regulations regarding share repurchase by Public Companies and the obligation to transfer repurchased shares by Public Companies have been regulated in Financial Services Authority Regulation Number 30/POJK.04/2017 regarding Share Repurchase by Public Companies. However, there are implementation constraints in the regulations of POJK Number 30/POJK.04/2017 regarding Share Repurchase by Public Companies, such as compliance with regulations regarding share repurchase prices, transfer prices of repurchased shares, information openness, and transfer time limits. In addition, it is necessary to clarify some more detailed regulations regarding methods of transferring repurchased shares other than the mechanism of selling through the Stock Exchange. Additions to regulations regarding other transfer methods, such as in the context of asset or share acquisitions, can be made with payment using repurchased shares. This is in order to add flexible options for carrying out transfers. Considering the above, it is necessary to replace Financial Services Authority Regulation Number 30/POJK.04/2017 regarding Share Repurchase by Public Companies.
