Bloomberry signs non-binding agreement with PH Travel and Leisure Corp
As previously reported by Focus Gaming News, Bloomberry Resorts Corporation has announced it has signed a non-binding agreement (term sheet) with PH Travel and Leisure Corp. (PHT).
The company plans to invest in Lapulapu Leisure, which is developing the Emerald Bay Resort Hotel and Casino in Punta Engano, Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu, and Clark Grand Leisure Corp, which is developing The Base Resort Hotel and Casino in Clark in Pampanga.
According to Bloomberry, the term sheet is subject to several conditions including the execution of mutually acceptable definitive agreements, the approval of regulators and creditors, the completion of audited financial statements, corporate approvals, and cooperation on due diligence, among others.
Last October, PH Resorts pushed back the launch date for Emerald Bay, mainly due to the Covid-19 pandemic. It now hopes to launch the first phase of the IR by the first quarter of 2023 instead of the third quarter of 2022.
