For Immediate Release

Bumi plc ("Bumi" or the "Company")

Bumi Announcement

The Board of Bumi Plc notes the announcement (RNS Number 1314W) by NR Investments, which stated that "The current Board is proposing the effective liquidation of the Company…".

The Board has no intention of liquidating the Company and has clearly stated publicly in its announcement of 7 January that it is progressing its proposal to unwind the relationship with Bumi Resources and the Bakrie Group in a transaction that will result in an operating group focused on Berau and with significant cash resources.

The above statement by NR Investments is wholly inaccurate and appears intended to mislead shareholders as part of a sustained campaign by Nat Rothschild to take control of the Company without paying a premium.
