KKR, Warburg Pincus, Farallon and Capital Group Private Markets Make Substantial Investment in GO-JEK, Indonesia’s Leading On-Demand Mobile Platform

Largest Single-Round Fundraise by Financial Investors for a Southeast
Asian Technology Company

SINGAPORE–(BUSINESS WIRE)–A consortium of global investment firms announced today the signing of
definitive agreements to make a substantial investment in GO-JEK,
Indonesia’s leading on-demand mobile platform. This equity capital raise
of over $550 million, which represents the company’s latest round of
financing, is comprised of leading investors including KKR, Warburg
Pincus, Farallon Capital and Capital Group Private Markets, as well as
existing shareholders and other international investors. Previous
investors include Sequoia India, Northstar Group, DST Global, NSI
Ventures, Rakuten Ventures and Formation Group.


The growth capital injection will help enhance the scale and quality of
GO-JEK’s on-demand platform and application services, which have leading
positions across multiple verticals. Among GO-JEK’s services are
motorcycle ride-hailing, online food delivery, instant courier
deliveries and lifestyle services, as well as services in the fast
growing e-wallet and car ride-hailing segments. Each of these services
addresses the daily needs of Indonesian urbanites. GO-JEK will
additionally leverage the new investors’ investment experience in the
telecommunications, media and technology (“TMT”) space as well as their
global network of partners to deepen its offerings in Indonesia and
potentially across the region.

Terence Lee, Director at KKR Asia, said, “GO-JEK is unique in its
ability to be the number-one service provider across almost all key
categories and the company has a real opportunity to strengthen its
position as a leading mobile platform in Indonesia. The foundation of
GO-JEK’s success is its focus on providing innovative, convenient and
cost-effective online solutions that improve its customers’ everyday
lives. This ingenuity is the result of the innovation, vision and
execution of Nadiem and his high caliber team and we look forward to
continuing to attract world-class talent to one of the world’s most
dynamic tech companies.”

Jeffrey Perlman, Head of Southeast Asia for Warburg Pincus,
said, “We are excited to partner with Nadiem, Kevin, Andre and the
entire GO-JEK management team. With a rapidly expanding middle class,
increasing urban density and a young demographic that is internet savvy,
GO-JEK is well positioned to become the ‘go to’ platform for high
frequency daily services including transport, food, logistics and
payment. We look forward to leveraging our global network of partners
and experience in the technology and consumer sectors to help the
company build the leading internet platform in Indonesia and across the
region.”

GO-JEK’s mobile applications have been downloaded more than 20 million
times as of June 30, 2016. In June 2016 only, there were over 20 million
bookings on the GO-JEK platform, translating to roughly eight bookings
per second being processed in that month.

Nadiem Makarim, Co-Founder and CEO of GO-JEK, said, “We are
extremely humbled and excited to work with such world-class partners.
KKR, Warburg Pincus, Farallon, Capital Group and other participants in
this fundraise not only bring global experience in the TMT sector, but
they are also experienced local partners. With their support and
investment, GO-JEK is poised to build on its initial success to become
the largest on-demand application of choice for all Indonesians and
improve the daily lives of more than 200,000 motorcycle and car driver
partners, more than 35,000 GO-FOOD merchants whose businesses we helped
grow and more than 3,000 service providers on our other on-demand
services.”

Andre Soelistyo, GO-JEK Group CFO and Head of Strategy, added,
“We are proud and honored that we have been given the opportunity to
push Indonesian society forward with technology and empower the hundreds
of thousands of micro entrepreneurs on our platform across the entire
nation with the potential to further expand our services across the
region.”

Indonesia, with the world’s fourth-largest population of more than 250
million people, is rapidly becoming a digital nation. Indonesia has 88.1
million active internet users and 36 percent of the population carry
smartphones. Launched in January 2015, GO-JEK is the first Indonesian
mobile platform that touches across socio-economic classes and verticals
at a high transaction frequency that includes transportation, food
delivery, same-day delivery, grocery shopping, household cleaning,
beauty and health and ticket sales.

It has a leading position in each of the verticals today and is
constantly expanding and deepening its offerings. GO-JEK’s motorcycle
transport service, GO-RIDE, is the biggest service of its kind in
Indonesia with more than 200,000 drivers. Outside of motorcycle
transport, GO-FOOD is the second largest on-demand food delivery service
in the world outside of China with over 15 million meals delivered since
inception.

GO-PAY, launched in April 2016, is now a fast-growing e-wallet solution
in Indonesia. With credit card penetration in Indonesia at under 2% and
online payment nascent, GO-PAY is essential in enabling a seamless
transaction experience on GO-JEK services. GO-JEK and GO-PAY are
best-positioned to capture wallet share from a growing online user base.

KKR makes its investment from its Asian Fund II. Warburg Pincus makes
its investment from an affiliate of Warburg Pincus Private Equity XII,
L.P. The transaction is subject to customary approvals. Additional terms
of the transaction are not disclosed.
