Description Extension of time to fulfil the mandatory sell down requirement for PT Bank International Indonesia Tbk (“BII”) to comply with the free float requirement of 20% of the issued and paid-up share capital of BII (“Sell Down Requirement”)

We refer to the announcements dated 16 September 2008, 3 December 2010, 31 May 2011, 3 January 2012, 6 July 2012 and 2 January 2013 in relation to the Sell Down Requirement in respect of Malayan Banking Berhad (“Maybank”)’s stake in BII.

Maybank wishes to announce that Maybank Group (“Group”) has disposed of 5,065,380,000 ordinary shares in BII, representing approximately 9% of the issued and paid-up share capital of BII, to a third party investor (“Disposal”). The Disposal was completed on 19 June 2013. The Group has also entered into a commercial arrangement where the economic exposure resulting from the Disposal is being retained. Hence, the Disposal will not result in any material financial impact to the Group.

With the completion of the Disposal, the free float of BII shares has increased from around 2.7% to 11.7% of the issued and paid-up share capital of BII.

The Disposal was undertaken to ensure compliance with the Otoritas Jasa Keuangan ("OJK”)'s mandatory sell down requirement under the OJK Regulation No. IX.H.1 in respect Maybank's acquisition of BII in 2008. The mandatory sell down requirements seek to achieve a 20% public float in BII. Maybank is applying for an extension to comply with the sell down requirement to OJK in respect of the remaining 8.3% stake in BII.

This announcement is dated 20 June 2013.
