ACTIVITIES OF THE COMPANIES
In 2021, the Company’s operational activities focused on preparations for the spin-off of Trans Java section from Jasa Marga to JTT. The preparation for transferring the concession rights of 4 sections of the branch offices and transferring the shares of 9 BUJT needs to be conducted thoroughly while taking into account the applicable laws and regulations as well as the interests of all Jasa Marga’s stakeholders as the majority shareholder of the Company.
The spin-off of Trans Java sections is carried out through framework of the Regulation of the Minister of Finance (PMK) Number 56/PMK.010/2021 on the Second Amendment to the Regulation of the Minister of Finance Number 52/ PMK.010/2017 on the Use of Book Value for Transfer and Acquisition of Assets in the Context of Merger, Consolidation, Expansion or Business Takeover decided by the Government on 3 June 2021. The enactment of the said PMK strengthens the realization of the spin-off plan of Jasa Marga’s Trans Java sections positively and serves as a reflection of the Government’s support to the efforts in improving SOEs performances that bring positive impacts on the development of road infrastructure, especially Toll Roads in Indonesia.
The Company also completed the reviews in the aspects of legal, commercial, financial and tax as the basis of spin- off implementation. In 2021, Jasa Marga and the Company focused on important and required approvals that must be obtained by Jasa Marga as the party transferring its assets and liabilities to JTT as stated in its articles of association as well as applicable laws and regulations.
