“The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has approved the P30-billion shelf registration program of property developer Megaworld Corp., some P12 billion of which will be sold to the market immediately. . . . .
Proceeds of the debt paper will be used to finance its mixed-use developments in Taguig and in Iloilo, which it hopes to complete by 2020. The said funds will be disbursed to the projects through 2019.
The bulk of the proceeds will be used for the Uptown Bonifacio in Taguig at P7.2 billion. Some P2.4 billion will be plowed to McKinley West also in Taguig, P2.13 billion in McKinley Hill and P1.16 billion will be for Iloilo Business Park.
‘Any shortfall in the net proceeds for the intended uses shall be funded by the company from internal sources,’ it said. . . . .”
