About the Book
PETALING JAYA: Axiata Group Bhd’s Indonesian unit, PT XL Axiata Tbk, has picked PT Solusi Tunas Pratama Tbk (STP) over 14 others to sell a portion of its towers in a deal worth US$460mil (RM1.5bil), or 5.6 trillion rupiah, cash.
XL Axiata is selling 3,500 of its 8,000 towers in a deal signed yesterday. There are no immediate plans to sell more towers, however.
“We have not taken any decision with regard to the remaining towers,” XL Axiata vice-president of corporate communications Turina Farouk said from Jakarta in replies to queries from StarBiz.
Earlier, XL Axiata had been contemplating a flotation exercise of its tower business, but later opted to sell a portion of the towers to raise cash to pare down debts that had increased after it bought PT Axis Telekom Indonesia in March for US$865mil (RM2.82bil).
Sources said that of the 15 interested bidders for the towers, only STP was prepared to see through the process.
