MOU drafting exercise Sullivan Mining Company (SMC) , a coal mining company based in the UK decided to expand its operations in Asia Pacific. One of the purposes is to supply coals to Indian power companies with medium-high-ranked calorie coals. SMC has a long history of operation in India. SMC wishes to take over a couple of mining assets in Indonesia for implementing such business plan. SMC is negotiating with PT Kutai Energy (KE), a coal trading brokerage company that has access to several mining companies in Kalimantan area, including PT Intan Resources with 50 million tons of reserve with the average of 5.900 calorie coals, PT Bara Kalteng with 80 million tons of reserve with 6.200 calorie coals, and PT Daya Mitra with 25 million tons of reserve with average of 5.500 calorie coals. KE has a mandate to negotiate from Mr. Safiuddin, the majority legal owner of the 3 companies. Mr. Safiuddin, however, is holding the shares in the 3 companies under a nominee arrangement with beneficial owners of the 3 companies, one of them is Mr. Achmad Bahar, the regent of West Kutai, a regency where the mines are located. KE insists that SMC shall acquire the existing shares of the 3 companies, and Mr Saifuddin will remain holding at least 30% of equity in each company. (a) as SMC’s counsel, please help them in identifying issues or problems if SMC decides to acquire the interests in the 3 companies, (b) please draft MOU between SMC and the owner of the target companies.
