“The closing of the proposed transaction shall be subject to compliance with certain conditions precedent, which includes, among others, Sky Cable engaging exclusively in the broadband business, with the termination or cessation of operations of its pay TV and cable businesses and obtaining all applicable government approvals and clearances,” it said.
The company said the sale of its ownership in Sky Cable would allow ABS-CBN to focus its resources on content creation.
