Ginting added that the company is still to calculate the number of shares that will be swapped in these deals. However, the number will most likely exceed the amount of shares that were offered to five other creditors last week. Last week, Bakrie & Brothers issued IDR 990.7 billion (approx. USD $74 million) worth of mandatory convertible bonds to restructure its debt obligations to Daley Capital (IDR 430.4 billion), Interventures Capital Ltd (IDR 373.8 billion), Smart Treasure Ltd (IDR 90.8 billion), Harus Capital Ltd (USD $6 million), and Maybank Kim Eng Securities (IDR 14.7 billion). This involves a total of 19.8 billion shares (17.45 percent of Bakrie & Brothers paid up capital) at IDR 50 a piece. Creditors can convert the bonds into shares in the next five years (every 15 June or 15 December of the year).

This corporate action lowers Bakrie & Brothers' debt position and liabilities. In March 2016, the company's negative net working capital reached IDR 9.0 trillion (approx. USD $667 million) as liabilities exceed its assets. A negative working capital - for an extended period - typically indicates that a company struggles to make ends meet and has to rely on borrowing or stock issuances to finance the working capital. Ginting said the company's negative working capital is expected to ease to IDR 2.8 trillion after the mandatory convertible bond was issued last week. In case the three creditors - Mitsubishi Corporation, Glencore International, and Eurofa Capital Investment - will accept the new mandatory convertible bonds, then working capital may turn positive.
