1. Reasons and Background
The Company is one of the largest telecommunication operators in Indonesia. It has served Indonesia since 1967 and since 2008 has been part of Ooredoo, one of the fastest growing telecommunication companies in the world.*
From its establishment until today, the Company has been a pioneer of telecommunication development in Indonesia. It has been a front-runner in many of the breakthrough developments in improving the telecommunication service offered to the people of Indonesia.
Indonesia’s telecommunication market remains highly competitive. To compete in this rapidly evolving market and retain its front-running pioneering image, the Company needs to reposition how it is perceived by people in this changing world.
Through its partnership with Ooredoo, the Company leverages global expertise and cutting-edge technology to bring a world-class network experience and innovative products and services to the people of Indonesia.
The strong strategic and financial linkages between these two companies have supported the Company in recent years as it builds on the many breakthrough achievements it has celebrated. These ties will continue to strengthen as the Company positions itself as part of the international group.
As a member of Ooredoo Group, the Company has access to use the mark, sub-marks and brand assets of the Ooredoo Group in Indonesia including but not limited to use of names, images, partnership, sponsorships, intellectual property, goods and marketing collateral.
This Affiliated Transaction offers the Company exclusive rights to these global assets.
The benefit of utilizing these marks, sub-marks and brand assets in Indonesia has been previously assessed by international consultants i.e., through International Consultant 1 Report and International Consultant 2 Report. The Company has considered those 2 (two) reports before the Agreement was signed.
In addition to the above, the entering of the Company as a party in this Agreement will not limit the right of the Company over its existing brands.
Based on the considerations above, the Company expects that the access to Ooredoo marks, sub-marks and brand assets will refresh the Company's business, increase future income and help the Company to remain competitive.

(b) The Ooredoo mark, sub-mark and brand assets are well-known and respected internationally and in the telecommunications industry. The equity of these assets continues to increase.
(c) The Affiliated Transaction formalises the use of such assets in Indonesia. This supports ongoing efforts to refresh external perceptions of the Company’s business, in accordance with its strategy.
(d) Closer relationship between the Company and Ooredoo has already led to new partnerships with global industry leaders and helped expand the Company's business.
(e) Through this Affiliated Transaction and associated benefits, the Company is expected to be able to better compete both locally and internationally.
