16 July 2015, Makati, City - 8990 Holdings, Inc. joined the Issuer community of the Philippine
Dealing & Exchange Corp. (PDEx) organized secondary market, with its maiden listing of PhP 9
Billion HOUSE Fixed Rate Bonds due 2020, 2022, and 2025.
A strong demand for the 8990s first bond issue was exhibited by the investing community,
expanding the initial offer of PHP 5 Billion to a total of PHP 9.0 Billion in face amount.
As a PSE-listed corporation and one of the Philippines largest home builders for the masses,
8990 Holdings has expanded its product lines from providing solid, affordable, and accessible
housing to developing malls and medium-and-high-rise condominium projects intended for the
working class Filipino. Following a similar path, the firm is now also diversifying its sources of
long-term financing with these bond issues.
8990 Holdings Chairman Mariano D. Martinez remarked: In May of 2014 we brought our
company public so that the investing public may also share in the fruits of our labor. And now
in July 2015, only 14 months from our PSE listing, we have successfully issued our 8990 Fixed
Rate Bonds that is carried on the shoulders of 10,000 homebuyers. I am told by many that this
singular financial feat has secured for 8990 a historic first in the annals of Philippine bond
issuances. If this is indeed true then we are proud to say that not only is the Filipino worth
housing for but he is also worth investing in.
PDS Group President & CEO Cesar B. Crisol said: We laud 8990 Holdings, Inc. for providing
shelters to the larger mass of Filipino families it serves to now offering its new set of
stakeholders, its bondholders, long-term investments supported by the framework of an
organized and registered secondary market.
