JAKARTA (JP): PT Bentala Kartika Abadi (Bentala) announced on
Tuesday the sale of its 8.7 million shares in PT Aetna Life

will be used to reduce the Bentala Group's debts to the
Indonesian Bank Restructuring Agency (IBRA).

IBRA said that the sale of Bentala's stake in Aetna was
expected to give more assurance to the public of the group's good
faith in repaying its loan to the agency.

Bentala's stake in Aetna Life Indonesia was about 9.31
percent. Aetna Life Insurance of America owns 80 percent and
Usman Admadjaya owns the other 10.69 percent. (hen)
