The acquisition is subject to certain closing conditions, including securing the necessary regulatory approvals, according to a regulatory filing submitted by Celeste Jovenir, head of Investor Relations at Ayala Corp.

“Please be informed that a share purchase agreement for the acquisition of an approximately 96 percent stake in National Teachers College (“NTC”) was executed on Feb. 7, 2018 between AC Education Inc.
