Pacific Online Systems (PSE:LOTO) agreed to cancel its planned 37.5% investment in HHR Philippines, following government restrictions on online betting platforms.
A private third-party investor will assume LOTO's rights and obligations in HHRPI, and LOTO will cease to be a shareholder once regulatory requirements are met, according to a Thursday Philippines Exchange filing.
The move is not expected to materially affect its financials, as HHR Philippines is still in the early stages of operations, it said.
