Baker & McKenzie, L.L.P.

Baker & McKenzie Advises on Mobile-8 Global Offering, the Largest Indonesian IPO in 2006
Baker & McKenzie’s US securities team in Asia recently acted as international transaction counsel in connection with PT Mobile-8 Telecommunications Tbk’s US$96 million IPO and global offering, while Hadiputranto, Hadinoto and Partners acted as Indonesian counsel to the Underwriters PT Bhakti Securities, PT CIMB-GK Securities Indonesia, and PT Danareksa Sekuritas. The shares commenced trading on both the Jakarta and Surabaya Stock Exchanges on 29 November 2006.

The offering is the largest Indonesian IPO in 2006, based on size of proceeds and was conducted pursuant to Regulation S under the US Securities Act. Mobile-8 Telecom is the fourth largest, and the largest CDMA-based, nationwide licensed mobile cellular operator in Indonesia.

Baker & McKenzie’s US securities team was led by Yeo Jih-Shian with Tuti Dewi Hadinoto from Hadiputranto, Hadinoto and Partners, a member firm of Baker & McKenzie, representing the underwriters as Indonesian counsel.

Commenting on the deal, Yeo Jih-Shian and Tuti Dewi Hadinoto said, “We are delighted to be involved with the global offering and listing of Indonesia’s largest CDMA-based mobile cellular operator and the largest Indonesian IPO in 2006. The involvement of Baker & McKenzie and Hadiputranto, Hadinoto and Partners in this significant IPO transaction reinforces our leading position in international capital markets involving Indonesian issuers, with Hadiputranto, Hadinoto and Partners, having also advised on Indonesia’s largest ever corporate debt sale overseas for Perusahaan Perseroan (Persero) PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) this October 2006."

"We are pleased to have acted on this landmark transaction. This transaction not only provided us with the opportunity to draw on our combined local and US Securities expertise but also allowed us to partner with leading industry players in Indonesia. We are certainly looking forward to future fund raising activities in the new year ahead of us both locally and across the Asia Pacific region,” added US team partner Ashok Lalwani.
