JAKARTA - Information on the increase in shares of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government in PT Delta Djakarta Tbk (DLTA), Anker beer producer, begins with the monthly report on the registration of shareholders for the October 2020 period, which is published in the disclosure of information on the Indonesian stock exchange (IDX). The report stated that the total share of the provincial government was originally 26.25 percent to 58.33 percent.

The additional share portion shifted the ownership of the Malaysian San Miguel (L) PTE.LTD company. The previous stock position was in reverse because San Miguel had a majority stake at 58.33 percent then fell to 26.25 percent.

Because of this information, the addition of shares owned by the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government is busy being discussed in the mass media. Considering that the news appeared to coincide with the hectic discussion of the Draft Law (RUU) related to Alcoholic Drinks (Minol).

The addition of Pemorov DKI's shares in Delta Djakarta is quite a shock to the public. The reason is, DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan once promised to release the share ownership of PT Delta Djakarta when campaigning in 2017.

Anies' move was at odds with his political opponent at the time, Djarot Saiful Hidayat, who was still the deputy governor of Jakarta. Djarot wants to retain the provincial government's stake in PT Delta Djakarta Tbk.

However, the reality is that until 2020, PT Delta Djakarta's share ownership has not been released. The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government has even added it to the majority shareholder.

Pemprov Denies Additional Shares

The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government emphasized that it did not increase the company's share ownership in PT Delta Djakarta Tbk, a producer of Anker brand beer.

This was confirmed by the Head of the DKI BUMD Development Agency, Faisal Syafruddin, who said the source of the problem for the increase in shares was in the error of data input in the disclosure document uploaded by the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) or IDX.

"One document on the IDX website, which includes the composition of shares in a document on the IDX website, there is an error in writing between the shares of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government and shares of the Malaysian San Miguel or they are exchanged," said Faisal in a written statement, Friday, November 13.

Faisal emphasized that there was no change in share ownership between this month and the previous month. "In a different document on the IDX website, the actual composition is found, which is written that San Miguel Malaysia still has 58.33 percent shares and the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government owns 26.25 percent shares," he said.

Meanwhile, Director of Company Assessment for the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) I Gede Nyoman Yetna spoke about the news of the increase in shares owned by the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government in Delta Djakarta. He explained that the share portion of the DKI Pemprov remains the same.

"There is no change in the proportion of ownership of the DKI Regional Government. Based on the Monthly Securities Holder Registration Report as of October 31, 2020 submitted by PT Delta Djakarta Tbk (DLTA), the composition of DLTA shareholders is as follows: San Miguel Malaysia 58.33 percent and DKI Jakarta Government by 26 , 25 percent, "he said, when contacted by VOI.

Delta Admits There were Errors in Writing the Report

After rumors about the addition of shares owned by the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government, PT Delta Djakarta Tbk raised its voice. Based on the official statement uploaded on the IDX website, Delta explained that there had been an error in the preparation of the PT Delta Djakarta securities holder registration monthly report for the period of October 2020.

Director of Finance and Corporate Secretary of PT Delta Djakarta Tbk, Alan Fernandez said, in the report there should not have been any additional shares on behalf of the shareholders of the DKI Jakarta Regional Government and San Miguel Malaysia.

Alan explained that the Delta Djakarta monthly report, which was uploaded on the IDX website on November 9, 2020, was made by the PT Raya Saham Registra Securities Administration Bureau.

"The total shares of the DKI Jakarta Regional Government are fixed at 210,200,700 shares or equivalent to 26.25 percent and the total shares of San Miguel Malaysia (L) PTLD remains at 467,061,150 shares, equivalent to 58.33 percent," said Alan.
