The Philippines.- PhilWeb Corp<\/strong> has announced a combined \u20b14.23bn (US$67.4m) investment in JKS Tech Solutions Inc<\/strong>, a business-to-business gaming technology provider. It will subscribe to 3.41m Class B common shares<\/strong> in JKS Tech at \u20b1394 each, representing an investment of about \u20b11.34bn (US$21.4m). Its wholly owned subsidiary PhilWeb Capital Corp<\/strong> will take up another 7.32m shares for \u20b12.88bn (US$45.9m).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shares will be issued through a proposed increase in JKS Tech\u2019s authorised capital stock. The transaction remains subject to approval by JKS shareholders, the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)<\/strong> and other applicable regulatory requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Separately, JKS Tech will acquire 81.38m PhilWeb treasury shares at \u20b116.50 each for about \u20b11.34bn (US$21.4m). The shares represent approximately 4.85 per cent of PhilWeb\u2019s issued and outstanding stock. Payment will be made in stages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The scale of the transaction prompted the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE)<\/strong> to suspend trading in PhilWeb shares from 9am. The exchange classified the investment as a substantial acquisition and requires PhilWeb to submit comprehensive disclosure documents before trading can resume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PhilWeb said the investment will support its expansion as a digital gaming technology and solutions provider, while strengthening its technology capabilities and recurring revenue opportunities. <\/p>\n\n\n
