Business Due Diligence

The Investor will investigate and analysis the Target, particularly in areas such as business model, market

conditions, product characteristics and quality, customer base (distribution networks, bargaining power etc),

competition, threats from substitutes and new entrants, production capabilities (technology, R&D strengths),

past financials, future business plan etc. Based on these findings, the Investor will perform a SWOT

analysis and assessment of the future profitability of the business.

Objectives of Business Due Diligence

(i) Examine the feasibility of the business plan and perform valuation of the Target based on this business

plan

(ii) Formulate a revised business plan of the merged entity, taking into consideration the synergies arising

from the M&A. Perform valuation of the Target based on the revised business plan.

External climate: Industry analysis (Five Forces Analysis)

Analysis of the Target and its management strategy, business model, internal capabilities

(Analysis of value chain, SWOT etc)

Analysis of profitability (budgeted and actual, fixed and variable costs, working capital etc)

Business Due Diligence is closely associated with Financial Due Diligence. Financial Due Diligence allows

the Investor to verify the past business of the Target, while Business Due Diligence helps the Investor to

authenticate the Target’s future business plan (based on the Financial Due Diligence).

Legal Due Diligence

Impact on approvals and material contracts

It is important to ascertain the impact of the Transaction on approvals and material contracts. For example, a

change of control will sometimes lead to cancellation of regulatory approvals and licenses and termination of

contracts.

Impact on valuation of the Target

While Legal Due Diligence is not directly associated with the valuation of the Target, there are instances

whereby adjustments are made to the valuation based on the Legal Due Diligence findings, e.g. the Target

would be involved in a litigation and there is a strong likelihood that the Target would be liable for any damages.

The Investor will investigate aspects associated with the legal risks involved in the Transaction.

Legal Due Diligence will involve the review of various documents and contracts. This will allow the Investor not only to

ascertain the authenticity of the documents, but also assess the impact of long-term or unusual contracts on the

business, or any contingent liabilities on the financials of the Target.

Legal risks and their impact on the Transaction will be assessed. The Investor will normally propose schemes or add

provisions in the acquisition agreement to minimize or eliminate such risks.

Examples of legal firms with partners in Indonesia: Norton Rose, Baker & McKenzie, Milbank, Allen & Gledhill, Khattar

Wong, Letham & Watkins

The period for the DD varies from companies to

companies, but normally spans from 3 weeks to 2

months.

Key Points

1 Period for the DD

Physical data-room or Virtual data-room (“VDR”).

Examples of VDR providers: Bowne; Intralinks.

For many cross-border transactions (and for those

which potentially involve several bidders), virtual

data-room is often used as it is more cost-effective

and efficient.

2 Venue for the DD (Data-room)

It is recommended that the Seller engages a financial

advisor, legal advisor and if necessary auditors, tax

consultants etc for the team.

While international audit firms have their

counterparts in Indonesia, we do not recommend to

change auditors at this point as it will take time for

newly appointed auditors to come up to speed

3 Team Structure

The Investor would request for information in

connection to risks involved in the transaction (such

as contingent liabilities etc). The Seller shall disclose

sufficient and necessary information for the

transaction.

Scope for the DD will have to be considered together

with the period of the DD and budget constraints.

4 Scope for the DD

A system must be put in place to allow queries (such

as those related to business, financial, accounting,

legal, environment, human resource) by the Investor

to be answered in a coordinated manner.

5 Coordination with the Investor on Data Request

Seller’s FA

The Financial Advisor should take up the role of the point of contact with the Investor in order to facilitate the flow of the information

during the DD.

A DD, if not properly executed, will result in bad faith between the parties and negatively impact the negotiation over pricing, terms

and conditions.

Virtual Data Room

Virtual Data Room (“VDR”) is an online platform which hosts the documents required for the due diligence for a period of

time. It is designed such that only the staff designated by the Investor and its advisors are granted access to these

documents.

Some of the VDR service providers include Intralinks and Bowne.

Normally, the Investor will inform the Seller the names, designation and the email addresses of the staff accessing the

VDR. Once the Seller has registered these accounts, the Investor and its advisors would be given access to the VDR

with login usernames and passwords.

Some Features of the VDR

The Seller can monitor the access trails of the Investor

and its advisors.

For sensitive documents, print (and print-screen)

restrictions may be set.

Every time new materials are uploaded, the Investors

and its advisors would be notified.

The Seller can also keep track of documents printed out

or downloaded.
