MANILA, Philippines--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AG&P, an industrial process outsourcing (IPO) company, achieved financial close of its over USD 72 million domestic corporate notes issuance and just over USD 19 million committed working capital line offering.
Investment & Capital Corporation of the Philippines (ICCP) and BPI Capital Corporation (BPI Capital) acted as Joint Issue Managers and Joint Lead Arrangers.
The seven-year Corporate Notes were subscribed by the Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI), Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP) and Land Bank of the Philippines (Landbank).
AG&P is raising funds to support its growth in line with strong demand for modularization and skilled manpower solutions across the global supply chains of onshore and offshore petroleum, mining, power and civil infrastructure.

He commented, "We are grateful to BPI, DBP and Landbank for recognizing the potential of AG&P to redefine the execution of construction from our base in the Philippines. AG&P's modularization will find its way to the world's largest, most complex and most critical infrastructure projects."
Said Mr. Marcial Morales, President & CFO, "In the last two years, this 113-year old company has achieved remarkable growth since the entry of the new management. Undoubtedly, AG&P's first foray in recent times into the debt capital markets shows a strong vote of confidence from the financial community to support its long-term plans in developing into a leading infrastructure support services company on a worldwide basis."
