LPKR Announces Partial Sale Of Stake In Siloam Hospital To Delever And Fulfil Obligations
18 September 2024

JAKARTA – PT Lippo Karawaci Tbk (“LPKR” or “the Company”) today announced that it has participated in the voluntary tender offer of PT Siloam International Hospitals Tbk (“SILO”) shares, and as a result have sold 18.57% of its ownership in SILO, reducing its ownership to 29.09%. This strategic transaction will allow the Company to reduce leverage, strengthen its focus on its core real estate business, while continuing to maintain a strategic interest in Indonesia’s leading healthcare provider.

 

Since the establishment of its first hospital in Lippo Village in 1992, LPKR has built SILO into a premier healthcare network with 41 hospitals and over 70 clinics across Indonesia. The decision to reduce its stake comes as part of LPKR’s broader strategy to concentrate on its fully integrated estate operations, which include land banking, township development, housing, industrial land, hospitality, lifestyle malls, and cemetery parks.

 

The Company received Rp 6.9 trillion in cash proceeds from this transaction, net of taxes, of which approximately Rp 3.9 trillion will be used towards paying down debt, which may include the Company’s USD bonds and other loans, and the balance for further investments, completion of projects, working capital and other corporate purposes.

 

Following this initiative, LPKR’s net debt is projected to decrease to Rp 4.3 trillion.

 

Commenting on the transaction, Marlo Budiman, President Director of LPKR, stated, “This transaction marks a step forward in the Company’s strategic realignment towards our core real estate business. While we reduce our stake in Siloam, we remain committed to supporting its continued growth and success as a strategic shareholder.”

 

The Company remains cautiously optimistic about the Company’s business, confident that this move will enhance its financial flexibility and strengthen its position in the market.
