CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
1.1. Background
Mergers, Consolidations, or Acquisitions constitute corporate actions that
basically may have positive impacts, among other things, the creation of synergy
and business consolidation which stimulates business growth and diversification.
However, on the other than, such corporate actions may result in enhanced
concentration in the relevant market that may harm their rival Business Actors,
Business Actors in the Upstream, Business Actors in the Downstream Market,
consumers, and/or the public.
Article 28 of Law Number 5 Year 1999 regarding Prohibition of Monopolistic
Practices and Unfair Business Competition (Law No. 5/1999) regulates the
prohibition of Mergers, Consolidations, and/or Acquisitions of Company Shares
if such actions may result in the occurrence of monopolistic practices and/or
unfair business competition. Law No. 5/1999 orders that further provisions
regarding Mergers or Consolidations or Acquisitions of Company Shares be
provided for in a government regulation.
Furthermore, Article 29 of Law No. 5/1999 regulates that mergers or
consolidations, or Acquisitions of Shares as intended in Article 28 of Law No.
5/1999 which results in the assets value and/or sales value exceeds a certain
amount, must be notified to the Indonesia Competition Commission (ICC) by no
later than 30 (thirty) days as from the date of Mergers, Consolidations, or
Acquisitions. Further provisions regarding the setting of the assets value and/or
sales value as well as notification procedures are provided for in a government
regulation.
The implementation of Articles 28 and 29 of Law No. 5/1999 is set forth in
Government Regulation Number 57 Year 2010 regarding Mergers or
Consolidations and Acquisitions of Company Shares that May Result in the
Occcurence of Monopolistic Practices and Unfair Business Competition
(Government Regulation No. 57/2010). Furthermore, ICC issued Regulation of
ICC No. 3 Year 2019 regarding the Assessment of Mergers or Consolidations or
Acquisitions of Company Shares that may Result in the Occurrence of
Monopolistic Practices and/or Unfair Business Competition (Regulation of ICC
No. 3/2019).
Notification of Mergers, Consolidations, or Acquisitions in many countries
applies a prenotification approach. The basic principle developed through this
approach is prevention efforts so that Mergers, Consolidations, or Acquisitions
do not give rise to the occurrence of monopolistic practices and/or unfair
business competition. However, what is applied in Indonesia is different, for it
applies a postnotification approach as provided for by virtue of the provisions of
Article 29 of Law No. 5/1999 and Government Regulation No. 57 Year 2010 as
followed up by ICC by issuing Regulation of ICC No. 3 Year 2019.
Based on various considerations, the implementation of a regulation often
generates different interpretations, therefore, ICC has prepared these guidelines

2.3.2. Consolidations
Article 1 sub-article 2 of Government Regulation No. 57/2010 defines
Consolidation as a legal action conducted by 2 (two) Business Entities or more
to consolidate themselves by establishing 1 (one) new Business Entity which due
to the law obtains assets and liabilities from the consoldiating Business Entity
and the status of the Business Entity consolidating itself ends because of the
law.

2.3.3. Acquisitions
Acquisition in its practices is not limited to just a legal action to acquire
Shares, but it can also be conducted to other instruments that have the same
characteristics as Shares. The same characteristic as shares are those that have
the same value for their owners for controling and benefiting from such
ownership, thus, if an acquisition is conducted, it may bring about a change in
the control of the Business Entity acquired so as to affect competition.
Therefore, an Acquisition transaction of an instrument of ownership that
results in a change in the control over a Business Entity or business activity can
be treated as equal to a Share Acquisition.
2.3.4. Share Acquisition
Article 1 sub-article 2 of Government Regulation No. 57/2010 defines
Acquisition as a legal action conducted by a Business Actor to acquire the shares
of a Business Entity that results in the transfer of control over such business
entity.
The characteristics of shares that are observed in a Notification process are
shares classified as voting shares or non-voting shares, and privileged shares to
nominate members of the Board of Directors and/or members of the Board of
Commissioners. This needs to be taken into account because it may bring about
a change in the control of business entities. The classification of non-voting
shares or preferred stocks does not cause a change in the control, consequently,
it does not meet the mandatory Notification criteria.

In its practices, a share acquisition may take place by way of the following:
2.3.4.1. Direct Share Acquisition from Shareholders
A Direct Share Acquisition from Shareholders may be illustrated as follows:
Business Entity X acquires the shares of Business Entity B from Business
Entity Y and based on such Share Acquisition, consequently based on the law:
1. Business Entity X becomes the controlling party of Business Entity B; and
2. there is no transfer of assets and liabilities be it from Business Entity X to
Business Entity B or vice versa.
As for the illustration of Direct Share Acquisition is shown in the figure
below:

2.3.4.3. Share Acquisition through Capital Increase
Share Acquisition through Capital Increase mechanism takes place when
a Business Actor adds a certain amount of capital to another Business Entity so
as to bring about a change in the control of the Business Entity receiving the
capital to the Business Actor increasing the capital. Furthermore, the Business
Entity receiving the capital becomes the subsidiary of the Business Entity
increasing the capital or in other words, the Business Entity increasing the capital
becomes the owner of the Business Entity receiving the capital increase.
The form of Share Acquisition through Capital Increase is illustrated
through an example as follows: Business Entity X adds capital to Business Entity
Y and with such capital increase, consequently, based on the law:
1. there has been a change in the control of Business Entity Y, that is,
Business Entity X is control of Business Entity;
2. Business Entity Y becomes the subsidiary of Business Entity X; and
3. there has been no transfer of assets and liabilities from Business Entity X
to Business Entity Y and vice versa.

CHAPTER III
PROCEDURES FOR NOTIFICATION AND CONSULTATION OF MERGERS,
CONSOLIDATIONS, OR ACQUISITIONS
3.1. General
Article 29 of Law No. 5/1999 and Article 5 of Government Regulation No.
57/2010 determines that Notification of Mergers, Consolidations, or Acquisitions
to ICC must be made by no later than 30 (thirty) business days from the date of
the Mergers, Consolidations, or Acquisitions to Legally Come into Effect.
Furthermore, before making the notification, Article 10 Government Regulation
No. 57/2010 determines that Business Actors may conduct oral or written
consultations with ICC. Such consultations are voluntary in nature. Therefore,
ICC supervises Mergers, Consolidations or Acquisitions through 2 (two) forms,
namely Notification and Consultation.
3.2. Notifications
Supervision of Mergers, Consolidations, or Acquisitions is conducted on the
basis of post Notification method. The definition of post-Notification method is
that following the conduct of a Merger, Consolidation, or Acquisition,
consequently, the Business Entity resulting from such Merger or Consolidation,
and/or the Acquiring Business Actor is obligated to give Notification to ICC.
3.2.1. Notification Requirements
Mergers, Consolidations, or Acquisitions resulting in the exceeding of
certain amount of the value of assets and/or that of the sales must a written
notification by filling out a form as intended in the Attachment to Regulation of
ICC No. 3/2019. As for the criteria of mandatory notification are as follows:
3.2.1.1. Thresholds
1. The following thresholds of Merger, Consolidation, or Acquisition
transactions must be notified to ICC, in the event that:
a. the value of the assets of Business Entity resulting from the Merger,
Consolidation, or Acquisition exceeds IDR2,500,000,000,000.00 (two
trillion five hundred billion rupiah);
b. the value of the sales of the Business Entity resulting from the Merger,
Consolidation, or Acquisition exceeds IDR5,000,000,000,000.00 (five
trillion rupiah);
c. the value of the assets of the Business Entity resulting from the
Merger, Consolidation, or Acquisition all the Business Actors of which
are engaged in the field of banking, exceeds
IDR20,000,000,000,000.00 (twenty trillion rupiah); or
d. the value of the assets of the Business Entity resulting from the
Merger, Consolidation, or Acquisition one of the parties of which is
engaged in the field of banking and the other parties are not engaged
in the field of banking, exceeds IDR2,500,000,000,000.00 (two trillion
five hundred billion rupiah).
12
13
2. A Business Entity that has had the value of assets and/or that of the sales
exceeding the Threshold as contained in point 1 above following the
occurrence of the Merger, Consolidation, or Acquisition process, is
obligated to notify ICC.
3. In the event that the value of assets and/or that of the sales resulting from
a Merger, Consolidation, or Acquisition does not exceed the Threshold that
must be notified, the Business Entity is not obligated to notify ICC.
4. A Business Entity that is not subject to Mandatory Notification for the value
of the assets and/or that of the sales resulting from a Merger, Consolidation,
or Acquisition does not exceed the Threshold, does not mean that it is
exempted from Article 28 of Law No. 5/1999.
3.2.1.2. Calculations of Assets Value and Sales Value
A. Calculations of Assets Value
1. The value of joint assets resulting from a Merger, Consolidation, or
Acquisition is the total assets value calculated on the basis of the addition
of the audited last year assets value of the respective parties conducting
the Merger, Consolidation, or Acquisition, plus the assets value of all the
Business Entities directly or indirectly are in control of or are controlled by
the Business Entity conducting the Merger, Consolidation or Acquisition.
2. Assets value does not merely include the assets value of the Business
Entities conducting the Merger, Consolidation, or Acquisition, but also the
assets value of the Business Entities directly or indirectly related to the
Business Entities concerned, namely the parent Business Entity up to the
Ultimate Parent (Business) Entity (BUIT) and the subsidiaries and up to the
lowest-tier subsidiary. BUIT is the highest controlling party of a group of
Business Entities and no other Business Entity independently may control
the BUIT.
3. The assets value calculated is the assets value as contained in the
consolidated financial statement of the BUIT.
4. In the event that there is no consolidated financial statement of the BUIT,
then the assets value calculated is the assets value of the BUIT plus the
assets value of all subsidiaries. The assets value of subsidiaries is part of
the assets value of the parent compan.
5. The calculations of joint assets can be illustrated with this example:
Business Entity X which constitutes a part of a business group of Business
Entity Y as its BUIT. Business Entity X conducts a Share Acquisition
transaction against Business Entity A. Business Entity A has a subsidiary
named Business Entity B. Therefore, the calculations of joint assets are as
follows:
a. the assets value recorded in the consolidated financial statement of
Business Entity Y including the assets value of all the subsidiaries of
Business Entity Y; and
b. the assets value of Business Entity A plus the assets value of
13
14
Business Entity B.
In the event that the value of joint assets has met the Threshold, then the
transaction is subject to mandatory Notification.
As for the illustration of the Calculation of Assets Value is shown in
the figure below:
Figure 2.8.
Calculations of Assets Value
6. Procedure for calculating the value of assets in an Assets Transfer
transaction takes the following matters into account:
a. The value of the transferred assets is the value of the assets in the
last financial statement or the value calculated during the sale and
purchase process or other legal event that brings about such Transfer
of Assets. The value calculated is the largest value.
b. Other than horizontal acquisition of assets, there is also vertical
acquisition. Vertical acquisition of assets vertical is an Assets
Acquisition that is part of the supply chain of the Acquiring Party, both
in terms of the upstream side and that of the downstream side.
Examples of the upstream side are businesses related to
manufacturing, production of raw materials, or production of capital
goods. Meanwhile, examples of the downstream side are businesses
related to distribution, retailers, or after sales services.
c. Calculation of assets in terms of Transfer of Assets, the Calculation of
the Value of Assets is the value of assets of the Acquiring Business
Entity and the value of the acquired assets plus the value of assets of
all Business Entities directly or indirectly in control of or controlled by
the Assets Acquiring Business Entity. This may be illustrated with an
example as follows: Business Entity X purchases assets owned by
Business Entity Y. The value of the assets in the financial statement
of Business Entity Y is recorded in the amount of
14
15
15
16
obtained from the sales of goods and/or services, both those domestically
produced and those imported.
5. The value of domestic sales in Indonesia excludes the sales of goods
and/or services sent abroad (exports).
6. The calculation of value of joint sales may be illustrated with an example as
follows: Business Entity X constituting part of a business group with
Business Entity Y as the BUIT and Business Entity X conducts a share
acquisition transaction of Business Entity A. Business Entity A has a
subsidiary named Business Entity B. Therefore, the calculation of value of
joint sales is:
a. the sales value recorded in the consolidated financial statement of
Business Entity Y which includes the sales value of all the subsidiaries
of Business Entity Y; and
b. the sales value of Business Entity A plus the sales value of Business
Entity B.
If the value of joint sales has met the Threshold, then a Notification must
be made with regard to such transaction.
As for the illustration of the Calculation of Sales Value is shown in the
figure below:
Figure 2.9.
Calculations of Sales Value
16
17
Acquisition has a disparity of 30% (thirty percent) or more between the last
year Sales value and the Sales value of the previous year, then the Sales
value is calculated on the basis of the average Sales value for 3 the last
(three) years.
9. The disparity as intended in point 8 above is when the last year Sales value
of is lower than that of the previous year.
10. In the event the condition as intended in point 8 is less than 3 (three) years,
then what is calculated is the average sales value of the last year and that
of the previous year.
3.2.1.3. Affiliated Companies
1. Merger, Consolidation, or Acquisition among affiliated Business Entities is
not subject to make a Mandatory Notification to ICC. Based on the Single
Economic Entity Doctrine, affiliated Business Entities will act as 1 (one)
economic entity due to the existence of the same parties in control of the
affiliated Business Entities.
2. Referred to as affiliated relationship is a control relationship taking place as
a result of shareholding of more than 50% (fifty percent), or less than 50%
(fifty percent) but may influence and/or determine Business Entity
management policies, and/or affect and determine the management of the
Business Entity.
3. Elucidation of Article 7 of Government Regulation No. 57/2010 defines
"affiliated" as follows:
a. an intercompany relationship, either directly or indirectly, controlling
or controlled by the company;
b. a relationship between 2 (two) companies that are controlled, either
directly or indirectly, by the same party; or
c. a relationship between a company and the major shareholders.
4. “The same party” and “major shareholder” are Business Entities that have
shareholding in several Business Entities that are controlled either directly
or indirectly. "Major shareholder" is the controlling business entity.
5. Placement of board of directors and/or commissioners or employees of a
Business Entity that becomes part of a Merger, Consolidation, or Acquisition
transaction process does not constitute an affiliated relationship. This is
regulated in Article 6 paragraph (4) of Regulation of ICC No. 3/2019.
6. Affiliated companies may be illustrated with the following examples:
a. Business Entity X is a BUIT of 2 (two) Business Entities, namely
Business Entity A and Business Entity Y. Business Entity Y owns a
subsidiary, namely Business Entity B;
b. Business Entity A acquires Business Entity B so as to bring about a
change of control, namely Business Entity A becomes the controlling
party of Business Entity B and Business Entity B becomes a
subsidiary of Business Entity A. There is no transfer of assets and

3.3. Consultation
3.3.1. General Provisions
ICC recommends that Business Actors Consult ICC before conducting a
Merger, Consolidation, or Acquisition. Such consultation is voluntary in nature
and aims to minimize the risks that may be undergone by Business Actors in
conducting such Merger, Consolidation, or Acquisition.
Consultation may be conducted by Business Actors in order to understand
if such Merger, Consolidation, or Acquisition conducted has the potential to result
in the occurrence of monopolistic practices and/or unfair business competition.
This is important for pursuant to the provisions of Article 47 paragraph (2) sub-
paragraphs e and g of Law No. 5/1999, ICC has the authority to impose
administrative actions in the form of:
1. the stipulation of cancellation of a Merger, Consolidation, or Acquisition that
results in monopolistic practices and/or unfair business competition; and/or
2. the mposition of a minimum fine of IDR1,000,000,000.00 (one billion rupiah)
and a maximum fine of IDR25,000,000,000.00 (twenty-five billion rupiah).
In the context of conducting Consultation, Business Actors must pay
attention to all notification requirements related to the Threshold, Calculation of
Assets Value, and Sales Value, Affiliated Companies, Change of Control, JV,
and Assets Transfer as spelled out in these Guidelines.
3.3.2. Consultation Procedures
1. Business Actors that may conduct Consultation are:
a. Business Entities that will receive Merger (Prospective Surviving
Business Entities);
b. Business Entities that will conduct Consolidation; or

b. in the event that the change (delta) of HHI exceeds 150 (∆HHI> 150),
ICC will continue the assessment to a Comprehensive Assessment
stage.
8. ICC issues a Stipulation of Notification containing the opinion of ICC that
states the absence of alleged monopolistic practice and/or unfair business
competition in the that:
a. The value of HHI is less than 1,500 (HHI<1,500);
b. The value of HHI is between 1,500 – 2,500 (1,500≤HHI≤2,500) with a
change of (delta) HHI of less than or equal to ≤250 (∆HHI≤250);
c. The value of HHI is more than 2,500 (HHI>2,500) with a change of
(delta) HHI of leass than or equal to (∆HHI≤150).
9. The calculation of HHI may be illustrated by an example as follows: There
are 6 (six) Business Actors in a Relevant Market. The market share of each
Business Actor is as follows: Business Actor A (Sa) 15%, Business Actor B
(Sb) 20%, Business Actor C (Sc) 10%, Business Actor D (Sd) 30%,
Business Actor E ( Se) 10%, and Business Actor F (Sf) 15%. Consequently,
the value of the HHI in the Relevant Market prior to the Merger,
Consolidation, or Acquisition is 1,950 with the following calculation:
HHI = Sa2 + Sb2 + Sc2 + Sd2 + Se2 + Sf2
= 152 + 202 + 102 + 302 + 102 + 152
= 225 + 400 + 100 + 900 + 100 + 225
= 1,950
The value of HHI that reaches 1,950 is included in Spectrum II with an HHI
value of 1,500 to 2,500 (1,500≤HHI≤2,500).
If Business Entity A and Business Entity B conduct a Merger, Consolidation,
or Acquisition, then the HHI post- the Merger, Consolidation, or Acquisition
in the Relevant Market is 2,550 with the following calculation:
HHI = (Sa + Sb)2 + Sc2 + Sd2 + Se2 + Sf2
= (15 + 20) 2 + 102 + 302 + 102 + 152
= 1,225 + 100 + 900 + 100 + 225
= 2,550
Post- the merger, Business Entity A and Business Entity B generate an HHI
value included in Spectrum III with an HHI value of more than 2,500 (HHI>
2,500).
Therefore, there is a change in the spectrum, from Spectrum II to Spectrum
III. Since the spectrum post- the Merger, Consolidation, or Acquisition is
grouped in Spectrum III, consequently, is necessary to calculate the change
in concentration before and after the occurrence of a Merger,
Consolidation, or Acquisition that exceeds or that does not exceed the
value of 150 (∆HHI> 150). The change (delta) of HHI determines whether
the assessment process continues or not into a comprehensive

43
150+200+200+150
CR4 = 100+150+200+200+150
CR4 = 0.875
ICC will compare the concentration ratio before and after the occurrence of
a Merger, Consolidation, or Acquisition in assessing changes in market
power.
4.2.1.4. Vertical Mergers, Consolidations, or Acquisitions
1. Market concentration analysis of a vertical Merger, Consolidation, or
Acquisition takes the following into account:
a. the presence or absence of market power or dominance in upstream
markets; and
b. the presence or absence of market power or dominance in
downstream markets.
2. A Comprehensive Assessment is not conducted if the Business Entity
conducting a vertical Merger, Consolidation, or Acquisition does not have
market power or dominance both in upstream markets and downstream
markets.
3. ICC issues a stipulation of Notification containing the opnion of ICC stating
the absence of alleged monopolistic practices and/or unfair business
competition in the event that the vertical Merger, Consolidation, or
Acquisition that takes place among Business Actors, do not have market
power or dominance both in upstream markets and downstream markets.
4.2.1.5. Conglomerate Mergers, Consolidations, or Acquisitions
Conglomeration is a category of line of business that is not related
horizontally or vertically. However, competition impact potentials may occur in the
event that the business entity resulting from a conglomeration has a portfolio of
products or services that may be sold by way of tying and/or bundling. ICC will
assess the existence of tying and/or bundling potentials of a Conglomerate
Merger, Consolidation, or Acquisition transaction.
A comprehensive assessment is not conducted if there is no tying and/or
bundling potential of a Conglomerate Merger, Consolidation, or Acquisition
transaction.
4.2.2. Barriers to Market Entry
4.2.2.1. Definition
1. Barriers to Market Entry are the existence of costs that are higher than the
normal ones or the existence of other barriers that prevent new Business
Actors (New Entrants) from entering the Relevant Market. These barriers
to entry benefit the existing Business Actors (Incumbents) for such barriers
protect the revenues and profits of such Business Actors.
2. In the event that there are no Barriers to Market Entry, post- Merger,
Consolidation, or Acquisition Business Entities with large market share
control will find it difficult to conduct anti-competitive behaviors. This is

4.2.4. Efficiency
1. In the event that the purpose of a Merger, Consolidation, or Acquisition is
to enhance efficiency, consequently, it is necessary to make a comparison
between the efficiency generated and the anti-competitive impact caused.
2. In the event that the value of the anti-competitive impact exceeds the gain
of the expected efficiency value from a Merger, Consolidation, or
Acquisition, consequently, fair competition will be better prioritized as
compared to promoting efficiency for Business Actors. This is because fair
competition basically begets more efficient Business Actors in the market.
3. The arguments of efficiency must be submitted by Business Actors making
a Notification by presenting:
a. The calculation of efficiency generated from a Merger, Consolidation,
or Acquisition and the profits that consumers benefit as a result of
such efficiency;
b. Cost savings;
c. Enhancement of the use of the existing capacity;
d. Enhancement of economy of scale;
e. Improvement of networks;
f. Improvement of the quality of products; and/or
g. other matters as a result of a Merger, Consolidation, or Acquisition.
h. the absence of potentials to harm other business actors in the relevant
market
4. Efficiency tends to have an impact on a price reduction in a short term if a
Business Entity post- a Merger, Consolidation, or Acquisition retrenches
variable costs or marginal costs. Conversely, the existence of retrenchment
of fixed costs generally does not have an impact on price reduction in a
short term, consequently, consumers in this regard do not directly benefit
from efficiency. Therefore, ICC underscores the importance of the
explanation of efficiency that tells the distinction between savings of
variable costs, marginal costs, or fixed costs.
4.2.5. Bankruptcy
1. The arguments of bankruptcy must be submitted by Business Entities
making a Notification.
2. ICC mempertimbangkan argumen kepailitan tersebut dalam hal Badan
Usaha dapat membuktikan 2. ICC takes such arguments of bankruptcy into
consideration in the event that the Business Entities may prove:
a. that they are in a state of insolvency, consequently, they will exit the
market in a near future if they do not conduct a Merger, Consolidation,
or Acquisition;
b. that a Merger, Consolidation, or Acquisition is the only way in an effort
to avoid bankruptcy;
