Company Merger - Who is it for and what are the benefits

A company merger is a process in which two or more companies combine their businesses to form a single entity. In Indonesia, company mergers are regulated by Law No. 40 of 2007 on Limited Liability Companies (“Company Law”).

In Indonesia, a company merger must be approved by the shareholders of each company involved, as well as by the Ministry of Law and Human Rights. The companies must also obtain approval from other relevant authorities, such as the Indonesian Competition Commission.

After the merger is approved, the companies must complete a number of legal procedures, including the transfer of assets and liabilities, the transfer of shares, and the registration of the new entity with the relevant government authorities.

It is important to note that a company merger can have significant legal and financial implications, and it is therefore important for companies to seek the advice of legal and financial professionals before proceeding with a merger.
