       Tokopedia entity
   ●   TikTok has committed to invest over US$1.5bn in the enlarged entity over time
   ●   During the Beli Lokal campaign period participating MSMEs recorded 125% growth in

   ●   GoTo Group achieved positive Adjusted EBITDA for the whole of the fourth quarter, while

Jakarta, Indonesia, January 31 2024 - PT GoTo Gojek Tokopedia Tbk ("GoTo" or the “Company”),
the largest digital ecosystem in Indonesia, and TikTok, a leading global entertainment platform,
today announced the completion of their previously announced transaction that aims to drive
long term growth for Indonesia’s MSMEs and digital economy.

Tokopedia and TikTok Shop Indonesia’s businesses are now officially combined under the PT
Tokopedia entity, which is now jointly owned by GoTo and TikTok as strategic partners in
Indonesia, with TikTok holding a controlling stake. The integration and migration process for a
seamless shopping experience within Tokopedia and the TikTok app in Indonesia has been
making good progress and is set to be completed within the trial period in consultation with the
relevant ministries and in line with prevailing regulations.

In addition, GoTo Group showed strong performance at the end of 2023, enabling it to achieve
positive Adjusted EBITDA for the whole of the fourth quarter, while exceeding the top end of its
full year Adjusted EBITDA guidance range. Details of this will be provided at the company’s 4Q
and full year 2023 results to be released in March.

GoTo Group CEO, Patrick Walujo said: “Today marks the completion of a partnership with TikTok
that will continue to bring benefits to Indonesia and its MSMEs. It is also a big step forward for
GoTo Group. Having reached positive adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2023, we can
now look forward to accelerating our progress, driven in part by supportive ecosystem partners.
As our profitability and cash flow continue to improve, we will optimize our capital usage in line
with a newly developed capital allocation plan, which may include a share buyback initiative,
subject to regulatory and shareholder approval.”

Executive Director, E-commerce, TikTok Indonesia, Stephanie Susilo, said: “We are proud to
officially work with Tokopedia, its stakeholders and employees. We view this moment as a




                                                                                                1

significant milestone in our commitment to contribute to Indonesia, its MSMEs and the growth of
its digital economy alongside GoTo as a partner.”

As previously announced, TikTok has committed to invest over US$1.5bn in the enlarged entity
over time, to provide future funding required by the business, without additional dilution to GoTo.
GoTo benefits from the growth of the enlarged entity and remains an ecosystem partner to
Tokopedia, through its digital financial services via GoTo Financial and on-demand services via
Gojek. GoTo also receives an ongoing revenue stream in the form of an e-commerce service fee
from Tokopedia commensurate with its scale and growth making the agreement cash generative
for the group as it continues to focus on its long term profitability.

The partnership commenced with the Beli Lokal campaign last December, which has supported
thousands of Indonesian merchants and has resulted in an increase in their sales of 125% during
the campaign period1. A recent survey of participating merchants2, found that 97% have felt
benefits from the collaboration between TikTok and Tokopedia, while 90% reported an increase
in income as a result of the Beli Lokal campaign. A majority also increased the number of people
that they employ since the collaboration began.

As part of a commitment to support the development of Indonesia's digital talent, TikTok has also
worked with GoTo and Gadjah Mada University to partner in the establishment of the GoTo x
TikTok x UGM Technology Center - a digital talent development center at UGM's Innovation and
Creativity Gallery. The partnership will facilitate an internship and employee exchange program,
through which participants can grow their skills by being assigned to different TikTok offices
around the world.

Furthermore, TikTok and Tokopedia have initiated an MSME empowerment program through the
#MelokalDenganBatik campaign, involving hundreds of local batik entrepreneurs in Solo and
Yogyakarta. This initiative aims to support small businesses by providing them with production
support technology, including advanced production tools, insights on trends and inventory
management.

These initiatives are part of a broader strategy to transform Indonesia’s e-commerce sector,
creating millions of new job opportunities over the next five years, particularly in the MSME
sector.

Goldman Sachs acted as the financial advisor to GoTo Group on this transaction.
