Clarification of News Report
We write in reply to the Exchange’s request for clarification to the news article entitled “Sky-high debt a major factor in aborted cable TV merger” posted in posted in The Philippine Star (Online Edition), it was reported in part that: “MANILA, Philippines — It was a ‘til debt do us part’ of sorts that caused the collapse of talks between telco giant PLDT Inc. and Sky Cable Corp.’s parent firm ABS-CBN, industry sources said. Pangilinan-led PLDT was supposed to acquire the Lopezes’ Sky Cable in a P6.75-billion package but talks fell through as announced by both groups last week. . . . . With the latest development, the Lopezes are looking at Converge founder and CEO Dennis Uy as a possible white knight. Both parties have started exploratory talks. What could happen, industry sources said, is a possible sharing of infrastructure and technology between Sky Cable and Converge although nothing is final yet. Converge could then get a share in revenue from Sky Cable’s business if they reach an agreement, which could then lead to a bigger deal in the future, sources also said. . . . .” Sky Cable fully disclosed all financial information related to the deal over the due diligence review, but the parties were unable to agree on the commercial terms. The Company will always explore opportunities to serve our subscribers, employees, and stakeholders. We shall comply with disclosure requirements if any definitive decisions are made on any of those opportunities.
