According to the group’s managing director, Indonesia's Sinarmas Group hopes the potential purchase of London-listed coal miner Asia Resource Minerals Plc (ARMS) will help to support its own power business.
Asia Coal Ventures, a vehicle being funded by Sinarmas, has said recently that it was considering making a possible cash offer for ARMS, the parent of Indonesian-listed PT Berau Coal Energy Tbk.
The potential offer of 41 pence per share represents a premium of 173% to ARMS' last traded price. Berau shares jumped as much as 5% on Wednesday, outperforming the Jakarta benchmark index, which was down 0.3%.
"Our aim to acquire ARMS is to synergise it with our business, be it power plant or its supply," Sinarmas Group Managing Director Gandi Sulistyo said.
