LISTED Prime Media Holdings, Inc. said on Wednesday evening that it had entered a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with RYM Business Management Corp. and New Era Empire Realty Corp. to “revitalize [Prime Holdings] by engaging in business” in several segments.
This development sets New Era to be the majority stockholder of Prime Holdings.
Prime Holdings said after compliance with certain terms and conditions under the MoU, “New Era shall become the majority shareholder of the corporation through subscription to the unissued portion of the authorized capital stock of the corporation by way of a merger, cash subscription and/or infusion of businesses or assets.”

Prime Media may also enter an agreement with existing Philippine offshore gaming operators, or POGOs. The MoU also allows for the “provision of allied services” to POGOs.
The parties may also develop or invest in technology providing financial services.
