JAKARTA - Conglomerate Anthony Salim through PT Indolife Pensiontama is rumored to be narrowing 5 percent of PT Sarana Meditama Metropolitan Tbk (SAME) or better known as EMC Hospital, previously known as Omni Hospitals. The action will be carried out through a Capital Increase mechanism Without Pre-emptive Rights (Private Placement). As is known, PT Elang Mahkota Teknologi Tbk (EMTK) controls 76.36 percent as a controlling shareholder of SAME. Likewise with mall entrepreneur PT Pakuwon Jati Tbk (PWON) owned by tycoon Alexander Tedja who secretly bought 4 percent SAME shares. As for Indolife buying SAME, this is because of the recent closeness of the Salim Group and EMTK Group. It is proven that Salim first raised 9.08 percent of EMTK's shares. This is not the first time Indolife has bought a public company affiliated with the EMTK group. Previously they purchased shares of PT Metropolitan Land Tbk (Metland), PT Bank Mega Tbk (MEGA), PT Allo Bank Indonesia Tbk (BBHI), and PT Bukalapak.com Tbk (BUKA). Meanwhile, Indolife's move to buy SAME shares is very appropriate and in accordance with their ecosystem which oversees the insurance of employees of the Salim Group. SAME currently owns 6 hospitals, namely EMC Alam Sutera, Cikarang, Pekayon, Pulomas, Sentul and Tangerang. In addition, SAME also owns 79.84 percent of the Graha Kedoya Hospital (RSGK) network. The last corporate action was to buy 28 percent of the shares of the Jakarta Eye Center Hospital.
