Clarification of News Report
This refers to the request of the Exchange to clarify the news article entitled “URC buys CADP's idle sugar milling assets” posted in Manila Bulletin (Online Edition) on May 30, 2023, which reported in part that: “Universal Robina Corporation (URC), the food and beverage unit of the Gokongwei Group, is acquiring the idle sugar milling machinery and equipment of Central Azucarera Don Pedro Inc. (CADPI) for an undisclosed amount. In a statement, URC said these assets will be used to expand the capacity and improve the sugar recovery process at its sugar mill in Balayan, Batangas. URC noted that it is seeking to accommodate more sugarcane farmers at its Balayan mill to help secure a source of livelihood for them. It added that, raising the mill’s capacity will also ensure ample sugar supply for consumers. The new machinery and equipment from CADPI, a subsidiary of listed firm Roxas Holdings Inc., that has permanently shut down its milling operations, will bring up the Balayan mill’s capacity from about 5,000 tons to 8,000 tons a day. . . . .” URC confirms the above quoted news article. The idle assets to be purchased are valued at Php897.31M based on Roxas Holdings, Inc.'s latest consolidated quarterly report as of March 31, 2023, and is not considered a material transaction for URC. With this acquisition, the corporation plans to expand URC-Balayan's sugar milling capacity and help displaced farmers.
