The GT Capital-MPIC Strategic Partnership

In May of 2016, GT Capital acquired a 15.6% stake in Metro Pacific Investments Corporation (MPIC) worth Php29.89 billion, forming a strategic alliance with the largest utilities conglomerate in the Philippines.

GT Capital purchased 3.6 billion primary common shares of MPIC at Php6.10 per share as well as 1.3 billion secondary MPIC common shares at the same price from Metro Pacific Holdings, Inc. (MPHI), MPIC majority shareholder.

The acquisition makes GT Capital the largest minority investor in MPIC while expanding and strengthening the former’s core sector coverage with the addition of an infrastructure platform to help ensure the company’s sustainable growth. With this partnership, GT Capital is invested in key infrastructure sectors: water, power, tollways, hospitals, railways and logistics.

The two holding companies’ strategic alliance also includes the purchase by MPIC unit Beacon Electric Asset Holdings, Inc. (Beacon Electric) from GT Capital of 1.077 billion common shares, or 56% of the outstanding capital stock of Global Business Power Corporation (GBPC). The purchase, worth Php22.06 billion, was coursed through Beacon Electric’s wholly owned entity Beacon PowerGen Holdings.

MPIC is a publicly listed investment and management company, whose business is focused on infrastructure, with holdings in Manila Electric Company (Meralco), Maynilad Water Services, Inc., MetroPac Water Investments Corporation, Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation, Metro Pacific Hospital Holdings Inc., Light Rail Manila Corporation, and MetroPac Movers Inc.

For the coming years and beyond, MPIC will position itself as the leading pure infrastructure business in the Philippines. As such, in the next five years, the company’s direction will be towards aggressively pursuing new infrastructure projects.

Toward this end, MPIC plans to execute new toll road construction projects for traffic growth, network gains and value development. The company also intends to implement new power generation projects, particularly in coal and renewables, strengthen its retail electricity sales market, and solidify its position as the Philippines’ leading power company. MPIC also aims to crystallize value in its water concession business in Manila to fund the expansion of toll roads as well as new water supply projects outside Manila.

Lastly, the company also plans to develop high-growth but smaller businesses particularly in the areas of hospitals and logistics and fund its fixed capital base through IPOs, sell-downs, and regulatory resolutions.
