Credit Ratings                                               PEFINDO has affirmed its idA ratings to PT Merdeka Battery Materials Tbk (MBMA) and

Bond I                                               idA     Outlook for the corporate rating is stable. The rating reflects MBMA’s vertically
Bond II                                              idA     integrated operations, strong synergy with the group and strategic partners, as well
Bond III                                             idA     as sizeable mining reserves and resources. However, the rating is constrained by the
SR Bond I                                            idA     risk of developing new projects and exposure to nickel price volatility.

                                                             The rating may be raised if MBMA strengthens its diversification profile, including

APR 2025                                    idA/Stable       may be lowered if MBMA generates lower revenue and profit margins than projected
JAN 2025                                    idA/Stable       due to the inability of the Company’s operating entities to perform as projected or a

Rating Definition
 Debt security rated idA indicates that the issuer’s
 capacity to meet its long-term financial commitments
 on the debt security, relative to other Indonesian
 issuers, is strong. However, the issuer’s capacity is
 somewhat more susceptible to adverse effects of
 changes in circumstances and economic conditions
 than higher-rated issuers.

 Suffix (sy) means the rating indicates Islamic principles
 compliant.
