Cojuangcos selling sugar milling business to ex-Pancake House owner

Ahhhh, to be rich. (Can you do the math?)

“The Cojuangcos are selling their sugar milling business to one cousin and former Pancake House owner Martin Lorenzo,” reports ABS-CBNnews.com.

The report said that “in a disclosure to the stock exchange, Central de Azucarera says six Cojuangco families agreed to sell to Lorenzo and Fernando Cojuangco, currently the COO, a total of 19 million shares at PHP91 per share.”

The report pointed out: “That’s roughly 70 percent of the company.” According to our calculations, it’s also roughly PHP1.7 billion. (Correct us if we’re wrong.)

As such, the report added that “the group is conducting a tender offer for the remaining 30% as required by law.”

In case you didn’t know, the Cojuangcos count President Noynoy Aquino as a relative.
