FFI listed its shares with the Philippine Stock Exchange (“PSE”)
FFI shareholders approved the proposal to re-organize the company to provide shareholders with liquidity vehicle to cash in on their investment.
SEC approved the financial structuring of FFI. The post restructuring investment objective of FFI is to provide original FFI investors with a repackaged investment which would now have a more responsive net asset value per share which should correspond to an improved share price in the PSE.
A total of 67.51% of FFI’s total issued and outstanding shares was acquired by Vicsal Development Corporation (“VDC”), a holding company of the Metro Gaisano Group through a tender offer.
The new FFI began trading. Since then, FFI remains listed and traded, though not actively nor liquid, in the PSE where its shares may be bought and sold through any of the PSE member stock brokers.
