“Another achievement unlocked. We are one day closer to our cherished dream of completing Emerald Bay. At the offer price, investors will be given a good opportunity to get in early at attractive valuation levels,” said PH Resorts Group chairman Dennis Uy.

Offer period is tentatively set on October 21 to 28, subject to the receipt of the Securities and Exchange Commission's permit to sell, it said.

Listing date is on November 5.

Net proceeds will be used to partially fund the completion of Emerald Bay, its flagship integrated casino beach front resort in Mactan Cebu.

Emerald Bay will be constructed in two phases, with the targeted completion of the first phase by the second quarter of 2022. Upon completion of the first phase, Emerald Bay will feature 122 gaming tables for mass, premium mass and junkets; 600 electronic gaming machines and 270 hotel room bays.
