BANPU CUTS INDONESIAN HOLDING BUT ITM REMAINS KEY STRATEGIC UNIT - BANGKOK POST
 "SET-listed Banpu Plc, Asean's largest coal miner, yesterday announced the sale of an 8.72% stake in its listed coalmining holding company in Indonesia, the company's largest coal operations, for US$395 million (12.3 billion baht)", Bangkok Post reported.
Bangkok post further said that, Under the terms of the transaction, Banpu Minerals (Singapore) Pte (BMS) sold 98.5 million shares in its PT Indo Tambangraya Megah (ITM) subsidiary for 36,150 rupiah apiece.
The divestment was made via a market placement to Indonesian and foreign institutional investors and is expected to close next Tuesday, Banpu said in a filing with the Stock Exchange of Thailand.
After the transaction, Banpu will remain the largest shareholder with 65% ownership of ITM, which owns five mines in Indonesia with an overall maximum annual capacity of 28.5 million tonnes. However, this year's planned output is only 23 million tonnes.
The main goal of the divestment is to strengthen Banpu's consolidated balance sheet, and the company's business stance in Indonesia will not change, said Somruedee Chaimongkol, the chief financial officer.
"The transaction will generate about $395 million in proceeds for BMS, helping to reinforce Banpu's balance sheet and establish a strong platform for the implementation of our five-year strategic plan," said Ms Somruedee.
Banpu has earmarked $189 million for investment in Indonesian mines from 2010-15.
"The reduction of our shareholding in ITM is minimal. This will not cause any change in our commitment to ITM or our proactive search for growth opportunities in Indonesia," said Ms Somruedee. "Our Indonesian coal business is still very much at the heart of Banpu's business strategy."
Listed on the Indonesian stock exchange, ITM is a profitable company with net cash, generating a net profit of about 6-7 billion baht a year for Banpu.
ITM's total output is set to rise by 17% to about 27 million tonnes next year with two new mines to become operational later this year and early next, said Kitichan Sirisukarcha, an analyst at Kim Eng Securities.
This will lift Banpu's capacity to cash in on rising coal prices, he said.
Kiatnakin Securities said tight supply and strong demand in Asia, especially from China, is projected to drive coal prices to $92-95 a tonne later this month from $90.60 at present, already a 10- week high.
Shares of Banpu closed yesterday on the Stock Exchange of Thailand at 626 baht, up six baht, in heavy trade worth 3.49 billion baht.
