Latest About MPIC
Recently, Metro Pacific Hospital Holdings, Inc. (MPPHI) delayed its p83.3-billion initial public offering that’s supposed to be the biggest listing in the Philippine Stock Exchange so far. The offering was postponed indefinitely from its initial date scheduled in the early fourth quarter this year. This is because a big company invested about P35.5 billion into MPPHI. What’s involved in the transaction of MPIC and KKR is the investment of consortium in new common shares of the hospital unit created by KKR subsidiary Buhay (SG) Investments Pte. Ltd. This is made through a share subscription agreement and exchangeable bonds that are mandatory and issued by MPIC as well. 41.37 million new common shares were sold by MPIC to KKR, equivalent to 2.74% of the resulting outstanding capital stock of the company and 6.25% of its aggregate par value.
