In a filing to the Philippine Stock Exchange, Melco said its board of director has approved a measure that will see the number of shares go from 5.9 billion shares to just 11,800 shares.

Melco said its equity restructuring will be used to entirely eliminate its deficits.

“The implementation of an equity restructuring by applying a portion of the corporation’s additional paid-in capital of P22.25 billion in end-2018 against its deficit of P134.56 million by end-2018, in an amount sufficient to entirely eliminate such deficit,” said Melco.
