“Net proceeds from the sale of the primary offer shares could amount to P5.296 billion. The company could raise an additional P530.5 million, assuming the overallotment option is fully exercised,” SEC said.
Proceeds from the IPO will be used for debt repayment, capital expenditures, and initial working capital for the company’s store network expansion.

“AllDay Marts is a supermarket operator with a total of 33 stores spanning 55,881 square meters in aggregate net selling space, as of June 30. It plans to expand its store network to 45 by 2022 and 100 by the end of 2026,” SEC said.
