Century Pacific Acquires Coconut Processing Facility

Background/Description of the Disclosure

Century Pacific Food, Inc. (PSE:CNPF), one of the leading food and beverage companies in the Philippines, announced the acquisition of 100% stake in Coco Harvest Inc., which owns a coconut processing facility in Misamis Occidental, Mindanao, Philippines.

Built in 2016, the fully integrated facility of Coco Harvest sits on a 6-hectare property and has the capability to produce higher value coconut-based products such as coconut water, coconut milk, desiccated coconut, and virgin coconut oil. Furthermore, the existing facility is strategically located to capitalize on the abundance of coconut supply in the region.

CNPF is acquiring a 100% interest in Coco Harvest. Combined with further investments in facility improvements, the total capital expenditure allotted amounts to approximately USD 40 million, which will be financed by the Company’s internally generated cash flow from operations.
