PEFINDO CREDIT RATING INDONESIA PRESS RELEASE January 14, 2010 PT Arpeni Pratama Ocean Line Tbk PEFINDO downgraded the corporate rating of PT Arpeni Pratama Ocean Line Tbk (APOL or the Company) to “idSD” from “idBB” following the suspension of the principal installment to several creditors. Currently, the Company is negotiating with lenders of its secured loans to acquire approval for a payment standstill including deferral of principal installment until March 31, 2010. In its September 2009 audited financial statements, as of January 4, 2010, APOL is in breach of its loan covenants and has not acquired formal waiver from its creditors. Hence creditors have the right to declare default and ask for repayment acceleration of the outstanding loans. However, the Company has not received any notification from its creditors. PEFINDO also downgraded the ratings of the Company’s bond II/A/2008 of IDR276 billion due in 2013, bond II/B/2008 of IDR324 billion due in 2015 (collectively referred to as “the Bonds”) to “idCCC” from ”idBB” and its Syariah Ijarah Medium Term Notes II/2008 of IDR150 billion due in 2011 (“the Syariah MTN”) to “idCCC(sy)“ from “idBB(sy)”. The downgrade is triggered by the Company’s deteriorating financial performance and continued liquidity pressure that can affect its capability to fulfill its financial obligation on the said instruments. The ratings are still put on Credit Watch with Negative Implication to reflect ongoing concern over the Company’s capability to pay the next coupon of the Bonds and the Syariah MTN on March 18, 2010 and March 30, 2010. APOL provides a wide range of shipping services for transporting coal, oil, LPG, pulp, timber and general products, and is also engaged as an agency and ship management.

Saat ini, Perusahaan sedang bernegoisasi dengan para kreditur yang pinjamannya disertai dengan jaminan untuk mendapatkan persetujuan posisi standstill termasuk penundaan pembayaran pokok pinjaman yang jatuh tempo sampai dengan 31 Maret 2010. Menurut laporan keuangan Perusahaan yang diaudit per September 2009, sampai dengan 4 Januari 2010, APOL telah melanggar persyaratan pinjaman dan belum mendapatkan surat pernyataan pembebasan (waiver) dari para kreditur. Dengan kondisi yang demikian, para kreditur mempunyai hak untuk menyatakan gagal bayar dan meminta percepatan pembayaran untuk hutanghutang yang ada. Tetapi, APOL belum menerima surat pemberitahuan apa pun dari para kreditur tersebut. PEFINDO juga menurunkan peringkat obligasi Perusahaan II/A/2008 senilai IDR276 milyar jatuh tempo di 2013, obligasi II/B/2008 senilai IDR324 milyar jatuh tempo di 2015 (secara kolektif disebut sebagai “Obligasi”) menjadi “idCCC” dari “idBB”, dan peringkat Syariah Ijarah Medium Term Notes II/2008 senilai IDR150 milyar jatuh tempo di 2011 (MTN Syariah) menjadi “idCCC(sy)” dari “idBB(sy)”. Penurunan peringkat dipicu oleh memburuknya kinerja finansial Perusahaan dan berlanjutnya tekanan likuiditas sehingga dapat mempengaruhi kemampuan Perusahaan memenuhi kewajiban finansial untuk surat hutang di atas. Peringkat-peringkat diatas masih ditempakan pada Credit Watch dengan Implikasi Negatif untuk menunjukkan kekhawatiran atas kemampuan Perusahaan membayar kupon Obligasi dan MTN Syariah pada 18 Maret 2010 dan 30 Maret 2010.
