Aug 17 : First Philippine Holdings Corp said on Monday it had rejected a KKR proposal to acquire an 8.43 per cent stake in First Gen Corp, saying it did not represent the power generation unit’s true value.
Here are some more details:
• The stake buy would have likely triggered a mandatory tender offer from the global investment firm to acquire First Gen’s public float at 35 pesos per share, valuing the takeover at around 165.44 billion pesos ($2.69 billion).

• First Gen was valued at 110.63 billion pesos, as of Friday’s close.
