Monde Nissin to Raise $1 Billion in Philippines’ Biggest IPO
(Bloomberg) -- Monde Nissin Corp. has set a final price of 13.50 pesos per share for its initial public offering, putting the Philippine food maker on track to raise $1 billion in the nation’s biggest ever first-time share sale.The producer of the Southeast Asian country’s best-selling instant noodle brand Lucky Me! is selling 3.6 billion shares at that price, it said in a letter to the local stock exchange on Thursday. That’s lower than the 17.50 pesos maximum price indicated in its IPO filing.Still, at 48.6 billion pesos ($1 billion), Monde Nissin’s offering will be the biggest on record in the country. Del Monte Philippines Inc., another food company best known for its pineapple products, last month filed for an IPO that could raise as much as 38.3 billion pesos. SM Investments Corp.’s 28.8 billion-peso IPO in 2005 was the biggest so far, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.It is not uncommon for Philippine IPOs to price below the maximum indicated level. Monde Nissin’s shares are expected to begin trading on June 7, according to an earlier prospectus.World-Lagging Philippine Stocks Lack Technical Support: ChartPhilippines, which has seen DDMP REIT Inc. raise 13.4 billion pesos in the only stock listing so far this year, has another large deal in the pipeline.
