Lottery Supplier Eyes IPO
MANILA, Philippines (March 1, 2007) -- At least 14 companies are preparing to go public between 2007 and 2010 to take advantage of the booming stock market, the Association of Securities Analysts (ASAP) in the Philippines said yesterday.
ASAP director Astro del Castillo said in a press briefing that the majority of these companies planned to conduct an initial public offering (IPO) this year and the next.
Among them is Pacific Online which has filed an application with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Philippine Stock Exchange to go public.
Pacific Online, the exclusive online lottery system provider of state-owned Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) in Visayas and Mindanao, expects to generate as much as P250 million in proceeds from the public offering.
Proceeds from the IPO would be used to purchase 600 new terminals for the deployment of the Keno online lottery, the first marathon lottery from 12 noon to 12 midnight daily. The firm is targeting to have 1,500 terminals in Visayas and Mindanao by mid-2007.
Underwriters for the offering will be Asian Alliance Investment Corp. and BDO Capital & Investment Corp.
The company is 43% owned by listed company Belle Corp., 37% owned by Abacus Global Technovisions, Inc., and 20% owned by Tanjong Public Ltd. Co., a Malaysian holding firm.
In 2005, Pacific Online partnered with Scientific Games Corp. to upgrade PCSO's online data center and install 900 online lottery terminals in the Visayas and Mindanao . Early this year, Pacific Online successfully completed the $10-million upgrade of the traditional lottery system to the state-of-the-art lottery and terminal system.
