Philippine conglomerate Ayala Corporation announced on the 21st that Mitsubishi Corp will make an additional investment of 44.5 billion Philippine pesos, or 709.48 million dollars. Its stake will rise from the current 4.7% to 15%, more than triple, and to 20% on a voting-rights basis, further strengthening Mitsubishi Corp's business foundation in the Philippines. The per-share acquisition price is 650 pesos, a premium of about 22% over the most recent closing price. Mitsubishi Corp indicated it will deepen cooperation in consumer-facing businesses and pursue opportunities in real estate and energy, Ayala's core businesses, with the deal expected to close during fiscal 2026. Ayala, through its telecommunications subsidiary, will take a stake in Mynt, which operates the leading smartphone payment app GCash. Mynt's application to list on the Philippine Stock Exchange was approved last week, and the fundraising could reach as much as 1.47 billion dollars, potentially making it the largest initial public offering in the Philippines.
