Clarification of News Report
Ladies and Gentlemen: We reply to the request for clarification of The Philippine Stock Exchange, Inc. on the news article entitled “SM to buy 29% of CREIT for P5B” posted in Inquirer.net on March 27, 2024, the pertinent portion of which reads: “MANILA, Philippines — SM Investments Corp., the country’s most valuable conglomerate, has gained foothold in the real estate investment trust space with a deal to buy close to 29 percent of renewable energy property landlord Citicore Energy REIT Corp. (CREIT) for about P5 billion. Ahead of the much-awaited public listing of the REIT to be formed by property arm SM Prime Holdings Inc., industry sources confirmed to the Inquirer that SMIC is ready to sign a deal to buy the shares in CREIT held by Citicore Renewable Energy Corp. (CREC), which is part of the Megawide group led by businessman Edgar Saavedra. . . . . The parties are expected to formalize their agreement any time soon, said sources familiar with the deal. . . . . The entry of SMIC into CREIT comes ahead of the $1-billion public offering of a REIT company to be sponsored by SM Prime Holdings.” We confirm the pertinent facts in the news report and as of this morning, SM Investments Corporation (the Company) has completed the purchase of 1,884,374,000 shares in Citicore Energy REIT Corp. (CREIT) for a total purchase price of Php5B. At this time, the Company does not see any material impact of this acquisition to the financials or operations of the Company. Thank you.
