Okada Manila Group Closes $2.6 Billion Deal
Universal Entertainment Corp, the parent company of Okada Manila Group has just announced plans to merge with SPAC 26 Capital Acquisition Corp, in a deal that values the combined company at $2.6 billion.
The Philippines-based resort lies on a 50-acre property in Manila’s Entertainment City area and has been opening in stages since 2019.
When the construction is complete, the resort will have 993 hotel rooms, 25 restaurants, and approximately 375,000 square feet of gaming space.
The deal is expected to close in the first half of next year and will generate up to $275 million in cash proceeds, which will be used to fund future growth.
ECombustible in Talks for $1 Billion SPAC Merger
Hydrogen-Fuel maker ECombustible is in talks with Benessere Capital Acquisition Corp for a potential SPAC Deal that could value the combined company between $800 million and $1 billion.
The Miami-based firm is developing a hydrogen-based alternative fuel and is in the process of running industrial-scale tests over the past few months. Interest in hydrogen has been surging over the past few years, with it holding the promise of decarbonizing industries that can’t easily run on electricity, serving as both a fuel and a way to store energy.
When hydrogen is fed through a fuel cell or burned in a turbine, hydrogen can generate electricity without generating greenhouse gas emissions.
Most of the hydrogen that is produced today comes from natural gas, but firms like ECombustible are developing a solution to produce hydrogen from water using renewable power, with no carbon emitted. Renewable hydrogen could potentially power cement and steel factories, cargo ships, and airplanes alike in the future.
