Cemex Holdings Philippines plans new share sale

The Philippine Stock Exchange has approved Cemex Holdings Philippines’ plan to raise as much as PHP12.6bn (US$250m) from the sale of new shares to existing investors.

The company is expected to price its rights offering on 6 January 2020 and launch the offer from 20-24 January next year. Listing of the new shares is tentatively set for 4 March 2020.

The new shares will come from an increase in Cemex Philippines’ authorised capital stock from PHP5.195bn to PHP18.31bn, consisting of 18.31bn common shares with a par value of PHP1 per share.

The proceeds from the offering are expected to fund the expansion of its Solid Cement plant, pay debt and cover other general corporate purposes.
