ROTHSCHILD BUYS INDONESIAN COAL STAKES FOR $3 BILLION - BLOOMBERG
Bloomberg reported that, Nathaniel Rothschild, the only son of U.K. financier Jacob Rothschild, agreed to invest $3 billion in two Indonesian coal companies through Vallar Plc, allowing the nation’s biggest producer of the fuel to list in London.
Bloomberg further reported, Vallar will buy 75 percent of PT Berau Coal Energy and 25 percent of PT Bakrie & Brothers’ PT Bumi Resources in a cash and stock transaction, the company said today in a statement. Bakrie Group will be the largest combined shareholder in Vallar -- to be renamed Bumi Plc -- and have the right to nominate the chairman, chief executive officer and chief financial officer.
The reverse takeover, which gives control to the holders of the acquired company, will create an Indonesian “resources champion,” combining the nation’s largest coal producer, Bumi, and fifth-largest, Berau, according to Vallar. Rothschild, former co-president of New York hedge-fund firm Atticus Capital LLC, raised 707.2 million pounds ($1.13 billion) in Vallar’s initial public offering in London in July and had considered deals of as much as $5 billion.

“This acquisition should be well received by investors since this is a good price for high-quality coal assets,” Liberum Capital analysts wrote in a report. “A London-listed, large scale, pure play Indonesian coal play should offer a unique commodity exposure and have strong investment appeal.”
Bumi Plc will target coal output of 140 million metric tons a year and be the largest thermal-coal supplier to China, Rothschild said on a conference call.
Mandatory Offer
Vallar, whose London-traded shares were suspended today, plans to make a mandatory offer to Berau’s minority shareholders and increase its ownership in Bumi in 2011, it said. Bakrie Group will hold 43 percent of Vallar stock after the deal.
The planned London listing, the first for an Indonesian company, “will enhance our international profile, provide a currency and platform for development in the region and put us in a much stronger position to build on the organic growth that our combined assets already provide,” Indra Bakrie, proposed chairman of Jersey, Channel Islands-based Vallar, said in the statement.
The “remarkable” deal is a “win-win” for shareholders, said Rothschild, who in April ranked seventh in the Sunday Times “Rich List,” an annual estimate of net worth of the 25 wealthiest U.K.-based hedge-fund managers.
Bumi Production
Indonesia is Asia’s biggest exporter of thermal coal, used in power stations. Bumi Resources, the country’s largest coal miner by volume with a market value of 54 trillion rupiah ($6 billion), produced 60 million tons and sold 58 million tons of the fuel last year.
The Jakarta-based company is a unit of Bakrie & Brothers, an investment company controlled by the family of billionaire and politician Aburizal Bakrie, Indonesia’s fourth-richest man, according to Forbes Asia. Sovereign wealth fund China Investment Corp. bought $1.9 billion of debt from Bumi in September 2009.
Bumi shares reversed losses after today’s announcement, rising 2 percent to 2,600 rupiah at 3:40 p.m. Jakarta time. The stock has climbed 7.2 percent this year, compared with a 44 percent gain in the benchmark Jakarta Composite Index.
Berau, with a market value of 18.2 trillion rupiah, is 75 percent owned by PT Bukit Mutiara, a unit of PT Recapital Advisors. Bukit Mutiara will retain 15.3 percent after the sale, Berau said in a statement.
Berau expects to produce 17.9 million tons of coal this year, rising to as much as 22 million tons by 2012, President Director Rosan Roeslani said Aug. 19. The Jakarta-based company raised $152 million selling shares in an August IPO.
