PT Apexindo Pratama Duta Tbk

Project Overview

Our Client is a leading Indonesian offshore drilling contractor operating jack-up rigs, swamp barges, onshore rigs, and an FPSO, primarily serving Indonesia’s oil & gas sector.

Challenges

• Following the global oil price collapse and regulatory shifts in Indonesia’s oil & gas industry (2014–2015), the Client faced prolonged liquidity pressure. The Client entered into voluntary restructuring in 2018 and ultimately completed its restructuring through PKPU proceedings in 2019.
• Debts included a syndicated facility from SOE banks, offshore private banks, and a special situations fund, plus a bilateral facility from a private bank. Complexity arose from differing interests and recovery expectations, mandates, and regulatory constraints.

Our Approach

• AJCapital acted as an independent financial advisor to the Client and its creditors.
• Delivered an Independent Business Review and asset-level valuation to demonstrate higher recovery under a going-concern restructuring versus liquidation;
• Developed a financial model to test different repayment options and support stakeholder negotiations;
• Managed the complexities across different creditor groups by developing tailored restructuring solutions for SOE and private creditors, including asset-based settlements, conversion into MCBs, and negotiated payment terms, while ensuring fair and balanced treatment across creditors;
• Led end-to-end negotiations between the debtor and creditors during the voluntary restructuring and PKPU process; and
• Coordinated with legal counsel throughout the PKPU process and development of the Composition Plan.
