INFORMATION ON THE AFFILIATED TRANSACTION
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, submarks and brand assets will refresh the Company's business, increase future income and help the
Company to remain competitive.
