Clarification of News Report
We write to reply to your request for our comment with respect to the attached news article under Biz Buzz column entitled “Not Okada” posted in Inquirer.net on September 7, 2016. The article reported in part that:
“SHARES of holding firm Medco Holdings have sizzled in the stock market in the last few days on speculation that this could be the backdoor-listing vehicle to be used by Tiger Resort Leisure and Entertainment Inc., the local unit of Japanese tycoon Kazuo Okada that is developing the $2.4 billion Okada Manila the newest integrated resort to rise in Pagcor City before yearend.
. . . .
But for stock pundits expecting this to be the future holding firm for Okada Manila, a source privy to the Tiger Resort group said that the rumors were not true. While backdoor-listing has been cited as an option for the Okada group, our source said there was no deal on the table with Medco. If there are other groups looking at Medco as potential a backdoor-listing vehicle, that story hasn’t spilled into the grapevine yet.
. . . .”
Please be informed that there is no truth to this rumor. Medco Holdings, Inc. has not held any discussions with the Okada Manila group in connection with the use of Medco as a potential backdoor-listing vehicle.
We trust that we have sufficiently clarified this matter.
