The Ministry of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) and Inalum are trying to resolve all agreements this week. News spread, the Indonesian Government, Inalum, Freeport-McMoRan Inc (FCX) and Rio Tinto immediately signed sales and purchase documents agreement (SPA).
The signing of the SPA was a follow-up to the initial agreement (head of agreement (HoA) of the parties related to the takeover of 51% of PTFI's shares in July.
However, "I have not received the news. Anyway, this week is over. There is no promise from the Minister of Finance (Sri Mulyani) at the end of September," said Fajar Harry Sampurno, Deputy of the Ministry of SOE's Ministry of Industry, Strategic Industry and Media. 26/9).
He said, there are five agreements that must be completed regarding the acquisition of 51% of Freeport Indonesia's shares. But Fajar was reluctant to disclose in detail the five agreements. One thing is certain, said Fajar, Inalum has already prepared funding to take over 51% of Freeport Indonesia's shares.
"The fee can be later. The point will be settled. The question of payment is asked by Inalum," he said.
At least, three of the five agreements agreed to be resolved by the related parties were the initial agreement (HOA) in July, then the signing of the SPA and the signing of the shareholder agreement (SHA).
When confirmed in connection with the plan to sign a 51% share sale and purchase agreement, PT Freeport Indonesia's spokesman, Riza Pratama, confirmed that there would be a signatory to the SPA. But, the signing was not the domain of Freeport Indonesia management, but FCX and Rio Tinto,
"I heard him said yesterday. But it didn't work," he said.
With the signing of the SPA, according to Riza, the government and Inalum have not fully controlled 51% of Freeport Indonesia. He compared that the SPA was like a sale and purchase agreement. He was not yet willing to disclose the realization of the transaction to take over 51% of Freeport Indonesia's shares.
"There are still further stages that must be resolved," said Riza.

Kementerian Badan Usaha Milik Negara (BUMN) dan Inalum berupaya menyelesaikan seluruh perjanjian pada pekan ini. Beredar kabar, Pemerintah Indonesia, Inalum, Freeport-McMoRan Inc (FCX) dan Rio Tinto segera meneken dokumen sales and purchase agreement (SPA).
Penandatangan SPA tersebut merupakan tindak lanjut kesepakatan awal atau head of agreement (HoA) para pihak terkait dengan pengambilalihan 51% saham PTFI, pada Juli lalu.
Namun, "Saya belum mendapatkan kabar. Pokoknya, pekan ini selesai. Kan janji ibu Menteri Keuangan (Sri Mulyani) akhir September," ungkap Fajar Harry
Sampurno, Deputi Bidang Usaha Pertainbangan, Industri Strategis dan Media Kementerian BUMN, di Gedung DPR, Rabu (26/9). Dia menyebutkan, ada lima
perjanjian yang harus diselesaikan ihwal akuisisi 51% saham Freeport Indonesia. Tapi Fajar enggan membeberkan secara mendetail lima perjanjian tersebut.
Satu hal yang pasti, kata Fajar, Inalum sudah menyiapkan pendanaan untuk mengambilalih 51% saham Freeport Indonesia.
"Bayarnya bisa nanti-nanti. Pokoknya akan diselesaikan. Soal pembayaran tanya Inalum," ujar dia.
Setidaknya, tiga dari lima perjanjian yang niesti diselesaikan oleh pihak-pihak terkait adalah kesepakatan awal (HOA) pada Juli lalu, kemudian penandatanganan SPA dan penandatanganan shareholder agreement (SHA). Saat dikonfimasi terkait dengan rencana penandatanganan perjanjian jual beli 51% saham, Jurubicara PT Freeport Indonesia, Riza Pratama, membenarkan akan ada penandatangan SPA. Tapi, penandatanganan itu bukan ranah manajemen Freeport Indonesia, melainkan FCX dan Rio Tinto,
"Saya dengar katanya kemarin. Tapi tidak jadi ya," ungkap dia.
Dengan penandatanganan SPA tersebut, menurut Riza, pemerintah maupun Inalum belum sepenuhnya menguasai 51% Freeport Indonesia. Ia menganalogikan bahwa SPA seperti perjanjian jual beli akta tanah. Dia belum bersedia mengungkapkan realisasi penyelesaian transaksi pengambilalihan 51% saham Freeport Indonesia.
"Masih ada tahapan selanjutnya yang harus diselesaikan," ungkap Riza.
