San Miguel Corp, the Philippine conglomerate whose businesses range from beer and food to oil, power and infrastructure, is set to raise $880 million from a concurrent sale of shares and exchangeable bonds. The fundraising is slightly larger than the $850 million indicated by the company earlier this month and could increase to $970 million if the $20 million greenshoe on the international tranche of the equity portion, and the upsize option on the domestic tranche, are both exercised in full.
