Adapun tujuan kerjasama ini menurut eContext adalah sebagai berikut;
“ EC Fund was established for the
purpose of making investments in Japanese e-commerce companies targeting
emerging markets in Asia and Asian e-commerce companies. The main focus of EC
Fund will be to invest in e-commerce businesses including online marketplace and
to develop and support such businesses that will open up more opportunities for
online payment businesses. PT. Tokopedia was incorporated in Indonesia as an
operator of e- commerce platform. Though
the Groups primary focus will continue to be online payment services,
advertising related services and other e-commerce services, as the main focus
of EC Fund includes investing in Asian e-commerce companies, PT. Tokopedia is a suitable investment for EC
Fund which will be in accordance with the purpose of EC Fund. As this is the
first investment to be made by EC Fund, selection of a good investment will
attract potential investors of EC Fund. In addition, the Group will recognise a
gain on transfer of PT. Tokopedia to EC Fund, while it will still indirectly
hold approximately 3.31% interest in PT. Tokopedia. The Directors therefore
consider that to transfer PT. Tokopedia to EC Fund will help development of
e-commerce business and will be beneficial to both the Group and EC Fund”.
