Rationale for the transaction including the benefits which are expected to be accrued to the Issuer as a result of the transaction
The sale of MCXPCI is aligned with Ayala's strategic priority to realize value from certain non-core assets and sharpen its focus on the continued expansion of its core businesses in real estate, banking, telecommunications, and power, and scaling up its emerging businesses in healthcare and logistics. In addition, the transaction supports Ayala's target to raise US$1 billion from value realization initiatives by 2023, which is executed through a combination of strategic partnerships and divestment of certain non-core assets. The proceeds will be used to fund future investments and further strengthen the company's balance sheet.
