FINANCIAL SERVICES AUTHORITY REGULATION
NUMBER 74 /POJK.04/2016
ON
MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION OF PUBLIC COMPANIES
I. GENERAL
In the era of the global market, competition in the business world is increasingly fierce. Companies compete to develop their strategies to continue to grow. One of the efforts made includes increasing the efficiency of business activities, increasing production capacity, and increasing synergy between business lines within the business group. The increase in efficiency expected to be obtained through a Merger or Consolidation includes, among others, the simplification of ownership structure, organization, operations, and production. In the Capital Market, the implementation of a Merger or Consolidation by Public Companies is carried out with the aim of developing business activities or business lines.
Currently, regulations regarding Merger or Consolidation by Public Companies are regulated in Regulation Number IX.G.1, appendix of the Decision of the Head of the Capital Market Supervisory Board Number: Kep-52/PM/1997 dated December 26, 1997 regarding Merger or Consolidation of Public Companies or Issuers. Generally, the provisions in Regulation Number IX.G.1 are already quite complete in regulating the requirements and procedures that must be fulfilled and the information openness that must be submitted to the public.
However, regulations regarding Merger or Consolidation currently in force still need to be improved. This improvement is carried out with the aim of protecting investors, especially public shareholders, maintaining the orderly, fair, transparent, and accountable operation of the Capital Market, and providing ease for Public Companies planning to conduct a Merger or Consolidation under certain conditions and requirements, as well as increasing the quality of information openness in the draft Merger or Consolidation.
The improvement to the regulations regarding Merger or Consolidation previously in force is carried out by adding new provisions in this Financial Services Authority Regulation, namely among others:
a. simplification of information openness in the event that a Merger or Consolidation is conducted between a parent company and a subsidiary owned 100% (one hundred percent); and b. improvement of the quality of information openness and protection for shareholders, by adding information openness in the draft Merger or Consolidation, among others related to:
Based on the background thinking and aspects thereof, it is necessary to change the legislation in the capital market sector regulating Merger or Consolidation of Public Companies or Issuers, namely the Decision of the Head of the Capital Market Supervisory Board Number: Kep-52/PM/1997 dated December 26, 1997 regarding Merger or Consolidation of Public Companies or Issuers, along with Regulation Number IX.G.1 which is its appendix, by issuing a Financial Services Authority Regulation on Merger or Consolidation of Public Companies.
