Subject of the Disclosure
Ayala Corporation (“AC”) and Mitsubishi Corporation (“MC”) strengthen strategic partnership
Background/Description of the Disclosure
The needed corporate approvals had been completed for the acceptance by AC of a binding offer from MC to invest in AC-owned AC Ventures Holding Corp. (“ACV”) which will serve as the joint venture entity that will explore consumer-related and digital opportunities in the Philippines.
Subject to certain conditions precedent including regulatory approvals, MC will invest a minimum of P18.4 billion for 50% of ACV, which currently holds a ~13% stake in Globe Fintech Innovations, Inc. (“Mynt”), the parent company of GCash, the Philippines’ number one finance super app and the largest digital cashless ecosystem in the country. MC’s planned investment will reduce AC’s stake in ACV to 50%.
In addition to the binding term sheet targeted to be signed on October 18, 2024, AC and MC are also set to execute on the same day a memorandum of understanding for comprehensive collaboration to promote further business development in the Philippines and to mark the 50th anniversary of their partnership.
These initiatives are aligned with AC’s strategic priority to support the growth of clear business winners within its portfolio.
