Subject of the Disclosure
The Inquirer news article entitled: Developer bets big in the Year of the Rooster
We refer to your correspondence dated 30 January 2017 requiring Sta. Lucia Land, Inc. (the “Corporation”) to clarify and confirm a news article entitled “Developer bets big in the Year of the rooster” published in the Inquirer on 28 January 2017. Parts of the said news article read as follows:
"This year, Sta. Lucia Land Inc. is eyeing to go big: the property developer plans to raise as much as P9 billion, the most aggressive it has been over past four decades. David M. Dela Cruz, executive vice president and chief financial officer of SLLI, disclosed that they are looking to raise up to P5 billion in debt to refinance some P3 billion worth of loans. Another P3 billion to P4 billion may be raised via a follow on offering this March.
At present, SLLI has already developed some 10,000 hectares of land, which included its 14 golf courses.
A third initiative was the creation of a subsidiary Sta. Lucia Homes, which will build the houses for those who will buy lots from SLLI. This is said to hold much potential as SLLI has sold hundreds of thousands of lots for over 40 years and not all the lots have houses built on them—even to this day.
“Increasing capitalization to more than $500 million is aggressive, but it’s also doable. For the past 40 years, this company has been churning out projects and yet we’ve never really raised money. It’s now that SLLI is being duly recognized (in the capital market),” Dela Cruz said."
The Corporation would like to clarify the following:
First paragraph: The follow-on offering may be any time from March to June 2017. Second paragraph: The reference to “SLLI” should be changed to the Sta. Lucia Group (“the Group”). Third paragraph: The references to “SLLI” should be changed to the Group. Fourth paragraph: The reference to “this company” and to “SLLI” should be changed to the Group.
