PT XL Axiata Tbk

Company Background

XL Axiata is Indonesia's second-largest mobile phone operator by subscribers. XL was established in 1995 as a joint venture between several companies, including an affiliate of Rajawali Group, an Indonesian conglomerate. The shares were later consolidated under the Axiata Group, Malaysia's largest telecommunications company and a two-thirds shareholder. The remainder is publicly traded on the Indonesia Stock Exchange.

Hasnul Suhaimi, an Indonesian, became the company's president and chief executive only a few months after resigning as president of rival Indosat in 2006. The move came amid allegations that Singapore's sovereign wealth fund, Temasek Holdings -- an indirect shareholder in Indosat and its rival, Telekomunikasi Selular better known as Telkomsel -- violated Indonesia's antimonopoly laws. Indosat did not publicly provide a reason for Suhaimi's departure.

XL spent $865 million to buy smaller rival Axis Telekom Indonesia, putting it ahead of Indosat. But the acquisition left XL with a hefty debt, prompting the company to sell 3,500 telecommunication towers to a local tower operator.

It offers the following products and services: cellular mobile network, internet services provider, closed fixed network services, internet telephony service for public interest license, internet interconnection services, and packet switched local fixed network license.
