                    [Summary] => In a surprise move, the government and the Lucio Tan Group (LTG) disclosed yesterday that they had reached an agreement paving the way for the rehabilitation of the debt-saddled Philippine National Bank (PNB).


The major issues that were resolved in a special meeting last Monday include the conversion price for shares that Tan will give up and which will be absorbed by the government through a debt-to-equity conversion scheme; management control of PNB; settlement of the bank’s obligations to the government; and, later on, the joint sale of shares by both groups.
