Please also note that while the Issuer will bear any transfer or other taxes incurred in connection with the initial transfer of the MEB Shares to a Bondholder in accordance with the Trust Deed, any stamp duty and other expenses incurred in connection with a subsequent transfer of the MEB Shares to another Indonesian Securities Account will be borne by the Bondholder, and not the Issuer, in accordance with the Trust Deed.
