Unlocking Flexibility & Growth ATI Delists from PSE

In today's fast-paced and ever-changing business landscape, companies that adapt to new opportunities are often those that thrive. One recent development in the logistics and infrastructure sectors has caught our attention ASIAN Terminals Inc. (ATI) is set to delist from the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE), supported by a tender offer from Maharlika Investment Corp. (MIC). This move promises to bring greater flexibility for infrastructure upgrades, technology adoption, and operational improvements.

Strategic Flexibility Unlocked

On December 17, MIC and ATI announced their intention to conduct a tender offer, aiming to acquire up to 191,438,064 shares – including public and employee-held shares – at P36.00 per share. This offer is backed by an independent fairness opinion and complies with Securities Regulation Code and PSE rules.

ATI's board has approved the delisting, which will enable the company to make long-term operational decisions more efficiently. A special shareholders meeting is scheduled for January 30, 2026, to approve the delisting under the Securities and Exchange Commission and PSE regulations.

Leveraging Long-Term Growth Opportunities

The delisting enables ATI to make strategic investments in infrastructure upgrades, capacity expansion, and technology adoption, supporting smoother trade flows and strengthening the resilience of its logistics network. MIC's participation, expected to result in roughly 11.2% ownership of ATI's capital stock, reflects investor confidence in the company.

Public shareholders retain a regulated mechanism to realize the value of their holdings at a fair price. This development demonstrates the power of innovation and adaptability in today's fast-paced business environment.

Business Continuity

ATI has confirmed that day-to-day operations, contracts, and relationships with employees, customers, and partners will continue uninterrupted. The delisting provides strategic flexibility to support long-term growth in the Philippine ports sector.

Conclusion

As we look to the future of logistics and infrastructure in the Philippines, it is clear that innovation and disruption are driving forces for change. ATI's delisting from the PSE and Maharlika's tender offer demonstrate the power of adaptability and strategic flexibility. This development promises a brighter future for the logistics sector in the Philippines.
