Observing the national emergency condition of the outbreak of the corona virus (Covid-19) in Indonesia, systematic and integrated efforts are needed by all Bakrie Group Companies (KUB) in mitigating to prevent and minimize the spread of the Covid-19 outbreak in the KUB environment.
In relation to the foregoing, we hereby convey the following key policies to all KUB Company Managers:

- Each company must issue internal policies that regulate technical work according to the characteristics of their respective industries, which ensure effective company operations. This internal policy includes at least: a. Work from home (“WFH”) rules are enforced for employees over 50 years of age and / or employees using public transportation, with due regard to the Company’s operational effectiveness. b. Directors and employees with a position / position 1 (one) level below the Board of Directors, continue to work as usual. c. Employees who work for WFH are not allowed to leave their homes and continue to report their work done every day in accordance with applicable company policies. d. For employees of the Company who are unable to leave work because of meeting the needs of production targets, as well as services to other parties, so that they can make appropriate work schedule arrangements so that the Company’s operations can run well. e. Limitation of direct interaction between employees by prioritizing communication via telephone, e-mail, and messaging applications (WA / Line / Telegram) or using teleconference or video-conference facilities. f. Arrangement of attendance schedules and / or special coordination meetings for employees who are included in the team regarding the fulfillment of obligations to the financial and government authorities (OJK, IDX, Taxes, etc.), for example the completion of tax reports and financial reports. g. Companies within the KUB should immediately issue an internal policy that regulates in more detail about WFH and emergency measures related to Covid-19 according to their respective operational needs.
- Travel restrictions apply: a.

If the trip is very urgent to be made, it must first obtain approval from the highest management of the Company. c. Prohibiting employees and / or their families from traveling outside the city or abroad for personal gain or vacation. However, if employees and / or their families continue to make the trip, the Company does not bear any risks that arise. The provisions regarding this matter will be adjusted to the policies of the respective companies.
