Risk of equity securities

chapter regarding the plan of use of funds. The management needs to make a separate consideration to determine the exact amount and timing of utilization of the net proceeds of this Public Offering. The Company may use the proceeds of this Public Offering in a different way from that stated in this Prospectus, which may not correspond with the wishes of the shareholders such as using the proceeds from this Public Offering in a way that may not result in an increase of the Company’s operations or value of the shares. Failure to use the proceeds of this Public Offering effectively might results in financial loss that could cause a decrease shares’ price and delay in the development of various business activities of the Company. 9. Risk that the buyer may be subject to restrictions on the rights of minority shareholders Under the current Indonesia Law, minority shareholders cannot protect their interests within certain same limits as in other countries. Under the Indonesia law, the obligations of the majority shareholder, the board of commissioners and directors with respect to minority shareholders, are more limited than those in other countries. The principles of UUPT related to the validity of the corporate procedures and fiduciary duties of the Companys management, board of commissioners and directors and controlling shareholders, and the rights of minor shareholders of the Company is governed by the UUPT, regulations of Bapepam-LK and articles of association while for the Corporate established beyond jurisdiction of the Republic of Indonesia, legal principles that apply will be different. Claims filed by the Company’s shareholders in connection with the activities of board of commissioners and directors almost never filed on the Company’s name or had never filed in Indonesia court and the rights of minority shareholders have never been used in practice, even though the regulation has been established since 1995. If the above demands can be implemented by the Indonesia Law, but the absence of jurisprudence reference of the court may make the process of claim filed in court to be difficult. Thus there is no certainty that the rights of minority shareholders received under the Indonesia Laws will be the same or sufficient compared with those received by minority shareholders under the laws in other countries. 10. Risk of buyers restricted rights to participate in the Company’s limited Public Offering A listed company must offer pre-emptive rights to the Company’s shareholders whose names are recorded in the Register of the Company’s shareholders 8 Eight working days after approval of the Shareholders General Meeting to be able to buy and pay for a number of shares proportionally so that they can maintain their percentage of share ownership in the event of issuance of new shares in accordance with regulation of Bapepam No.IX.D.1. Each time the Company conducts a limited public offering or other offerings, the Company will evaluated the costs and potential liabilities in connection with the offering and its ability to meet regulations beyond Indonesian jurisdiction and other factors that are considered necessary by the Company. Nevertheless the Company may choose not to comply the capital market regulations in several jurisdictions and when the Company does not obtain exceptions to the regulations and registration requirements in certain jurisdictions, the shareholders in such jurisdiction cannot participate in the public offering and may experience dilution in stock ownership. Accordingly, the Company cannot guarantee that the buyers of shares offered can maintain the percentage of share ownership proportionally at any time. Since limited public offerings in Indonesia allow buyers to buy shares at a substantial discounted current share price, the inability to participate in limited public offering can cause material economic loss for the shareholders.

C. RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROVISION OF LEGISLATION AND SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT IN INDONESIA:

1. Risk of terminated or revoked coal mining rights by the Government

Coal mining activities in Indonesia are generally subject to and regulated by the Government through the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, the Ministry of Forestry, Ministry of Environment, National Investment Coordinating Board BKPM and the Local Government where mining area is located. The Company is the holder of IUP Exploration Transportation and Sale, and the Company through its subsidiaries has the right to mine coal which is through PKP2B of BIB and IUP Exploration, Exploitation, Transportation and Sale of coal held by KIM, KCP, TBBU, BBU, BHBA, BNP, MAL, NIP and TKS. PKP2B can be terminated and IUP can be revoked unilaterally by the Government before the expiration date of PKP2B and IUP when the Company or its related subsidiary neglects its obligations as set forth in the IUP or PKP2B. If the Company or its subsidiary fail to fulfill its obligations under IUP or PKP2B and the failure is not corrected within the specified time, then the IUP or PKP2B can be terminated for PKP2B or revoked for IUP. Termination or revoke or restriction of PKP2B andor IUP can cause negative impacts on business activities, financial condition, results of operations and business prospects of the Company. 2. Risk of new legislation enactment whether in the field of mining, environment, seaport, shipping, finance, forestry, as well as in other fields or there might be an interpretation or implementation of such legislation which can negatively impact business activities and licensing owned by the subsidiaries. The Company and its Subsidiaries requires permits and approvals other than PKP2B and IUP, to run its business. The Company cannot confirm the possibility of changed regulations relating andor affecting the mining industry in Indonesia in the future. Changes of legislation limiting mining operations in the concessions territory including those that cause failure of the Company in obtaining permits and renewal of approvals could adversely affect the financial condition, results of operations and business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries. In the environmental sector, BIB is the holder of Environmental Impact Assessment AMDAL for the implementation of mining activities in the area of PKP2B, and the holder of Environmental Management and Monitoring Plan UKL-UPL for the implementation of special port activities which is in the process of evaluation within the framework of the Mandatory Environmental Audit in accordance with Article 49 paragraph 1 Law No.32 Year 2009 on Environmental Protection and Management.
