Tokyo's trading house Mitsui exited some of its stake in Indonesian auto financier Bussan Auto Finance (BAF) on Thursday. Ciptadana Capital and Yamaha Motor Group bought the said stake in a deal valued at IDR350 billion ($28.7 million), according to The Jakarta Globe.
Under the terms of the transaction, Mitsui sold its new shares to Yamaha Motor in exchange for a bigger BAF Stake. In addition, the deal allowed Ciptadana to enter the business as a new shareholder, the report detailed.
Jakarta-based BAF is a company that provides loans for consumers to buy Yamaha motorcycles in Indonesia. Established in 1997, BAF was 75% owned by Mitsui, 15% by Mitsui Indonesia, 7% by Yamaha Motor, and 3% by Yamaha Indonesia Motor Manufacturing, the report said.
After the stake sale, the Mitsui group and Mitsui Indonesia now hold a 70% controlling stake in BAF. Yamaha Motor Group has 20% of the shares. The remaining 10% is held by Ciptadana, The Jakarta Globe reported.
Mitsui said in a statement on its website: "With the capital increase, Mitsui and Yamaha Motor Group will aim to reinforce BAF's management and financial bases, and expand sales of Yamaha motorcycles."
