2.We on behalf of ourselves and Merger Sub write to seek Malacca and Malacca Representative’s agreement to the proposed amendments below and the corresponding waivers (as applicable) pursuant to Sections 11.9 and 11.10 of the BCA:

 

Reorganization

Share Split

 

(c)The Company intends to undertake a share split of the Company’s capital prior to the Closing. Following the share split, the authorized capital of the Company shall be Rp 20,664,000,000, divided into 206,640 authorized shares with nominal value of Rp 100,000 per share. Twenty-five percent (25%) of the authorized capital of the Company has been issued, amounting to 51,660 issued shares. We seek consent for, and Malacca and the Malacca Representative hereby consent to, the aforementioned share split under Section 6.2(b)(iii) of the BCA; provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, such share split shall not affect the provisions of Section 1.8 of the BCA, and will not affect the Consideration Amount delivered thereunder (other than adjusting the number of Consideration Shares delivered to the extent that more capital shares of the Company are issued and outstanding prior to the Merger). Section 4.3 (Capitalization) of and Schedule 4.4 (Subsidiaries) to the BCA are also hereby deemed amended accordingly.
