Under the plan, Universal will list the business by use of a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) – a company formed specifically to merge with or acquire another company with the goal of going public. Noting that it has put a series of cost savings in place at its Philippines IR Okada Manila, Universal said the time was right to revisit the listing of its IR business. “In view of this situation, [and] having positioned its IR Business as the core business of the Company Group, the Company recently arrived at the decision to pursue a detailed examination of the listing of that business on either the US NASDAQ Stock Exchange or the New York Stock Exchange with the aim of realizing the further expansion of that business and greater corporate group value,” it said. 日環球娛樂 計劃透露計劃於2021年在美國納 斯達克或紐約證券交易所上市其菲律賓綜合 度假村業務。 根據該計劃，環球娛樂將通過一家特殊目 的收購公司（SPAC）來掛牌上市——後者是專 門為了上市而與另外一家公司合併成立。 環球娛樂指出，該公司已經在岡田馬尼拉 實施了一系列成本節約措施，預計將在新冠疫 情之後繼續實施。其於週五表示，現在是時候 重新考慮其IR業務的上市了。 「針對此種情況，以及公司將IR定位為核 心業務，因而近期作出決定，對該業務在在美 國納斯達克證券交易所或美國紐約證券交易 所上市進行詳細調查，從而實現業務的進一步 擴展及更大的企業價值。」
