Frequently Asked Questions Can you have a nominee arrangement when setting up PMA? A nominee arrangement is an arrangement that uses another person’s name as a subject. In Indonesia, it is prohibited. This restriction aims to prevent situations where a company is owned by one party but beneficially owned by another. According to the law, any nominee agreement between a local party and a foreign investor is deemed null and void. Can investors own shares with preferential rights? Under Indonesian Company Law, shareholders can hold shares with various preferential rights, such as voting rights, nomination rights for board members, priority dividend or liquidation proceeds, and options for conversion or withdrawal after a set period.
