Subject of the Disclosure
Aboitiz Equity Ventures Inc. Files Application with SEC for the Issuance of its Fourth Tranche Bonds and the Registration of a New Shelf Registration Program, and PhilRatings Credit Rating
Background/Description of the Disclosure
On September 23, 2022, Aboitiz Equity Ventures Inc. (AEV) filed an application with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to issue fixed-rate retail bonds with an aggregate principal amount of up to P12 billion (bn), inclusive of oversubscription (the “2022 Bonds”). The application consists of (i) the issuance of the fourth and final tranche of fixed-rate bonds (the “Fourth Tranche Bonds”) amounting to up to P7.45 bn from its P30 bn shelf registration program, which was registered with the SEC on June 3, 2019, and (ii) the first tranche of fixed-rate bonds amounting to up P4.55 bn, assuming the oversubscription option is exercised, from its new shelf registration program amounting to P30 bn (the “2022 Shelf Registration Program”).   The proceeds from the 2022 Bonds are intended to partially fund AEV’s equity contribution to its wholly owned subsidiary, Aboitiz InfraCapital, Inc., which will use such amount to acquire interest GMR-Megawide Cebu Airport Corporation and the repayment of certain outstanding bonds of AEV. Subject to market conditions, the 2022 Bonds are expected to be offered to the general public during the fourth quarter of 2022. AEV intends to list the 2022 Bonds with the Philippine Dealing and Exchange Corp. The 2022 Bonds received a credit rating of PRS Aaa, with a Stable Outlook, by the Philippine Rating Services Corporation (PhilRatings). It also maintained the Issue Credit Rating of PRS Aaa, with a Stable Outlook, for AEV’s total outstanding bonds. According to PhilRatings, obligations rated "PRS Aaa" are of the highest quality with minimal credit risk, an indication that the obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is extremely strong. A “Stable Outlook” means that the rating is likely to be maintained or to remain unchanged in the next 12 months.
