The company says it will use bond proceeds to finance its 2013 capital requirements

MANILA, Philippines – The publicly listed holding company of the Gotianun family eyes to raise up to $300 million for capital expenditures this year through the issuance of foreign-denominated bonds.

The board of Filinvest Development Corp. approved the plan “to issue and float bonds in the offshore market with an aggregate principal amount between $200 million to $300 million,” the company said in a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange on Thursday, January 31.

The bonds may be issued within the second quarter of 2013, subject to regulators’ approval, the company added.
