  • dissolution by the GMS if the company is dissolved by the GMS; or
  • a legally binding court ruling if the company is dissolved based on a court ruling.

Failure to comply with these requirements will mean that the dissolution is not binding on third parties and that the liquidator is jointly and severally liable with the Company for losses incurred by third parties.

2.    Creditor’s claims

Creditor may file their claims within the period 60 (sixty) days commencing from the announcement date concerning the dissolution of the Company in the Newspapers and the State Gazette of the Republic of Indonesia.

  3. making payments to creditors;
  4. making payments from the remaining liquidation assets to the shareholders; and
  5. other acts required for the settlement of the assets.
  6. In the event that the liquidator estimates that the Company’s debts are greater than the Company’s assets, the liquidator is required to apply for the Company to be declared bankrupt, unless the prevailing laws and regulations provide otherwise, and all creditors whose identities and addresses are known, agree to settle outside of bankruptcy.

In the event that the liquidator is unable to perform his duties as aforesaid, at the request of the interested parties or at the request of the public prosecutor’s office, the chairman of the district court may appoint a new liquidator and discharge the previous liquidator. Such discharge of the liquidator shall be done after the relevant person has been summoned for a hearing.
