Bumi Plc. restructures top positions to end infighting

The Jakarta Post | March 28, 2010

Indonesian coal entrepreneur Samin Tan has been appointed as chairman of coal miner Bumi Plc., and co-founder Nathaniel Rothschild was ousted from a co-chairman position after a public spat between Rothschild and fellow owners, the Bakrie Group.

Rothschild had clashed with the Bakrie Group and called for a “radical cleaning up” in its “over-leveraged” Bumi Resources, of which Rothschild owns approximately 12 percent through Bumi Plc.

Bakrie then sold a 23.8 percent stake in Bumi Plc. to Samin Tan’s PT Borneo Lumbung Energi. This team-up, accounting for 29.9 percent of Bumi Plc., caused Rothschild to lose his position as co-chairman.
