FORUM EXPLORATION, INC. (FEI), an indirect subsidiary of Pangilinan-led upstream oil and gas exploration firm PXP Energy Corp., will convert P561 million of its debt into new common shares to be issued to Forum Energy Philippines Corp. (FEPCO).

In a regulatory filing on Tuesday, PXP said FEI will issue 561 million new common shares at P1 each to FEPCO as part of the conversion.

“The conversion is intended to strengthen FEI’s balance sheet and improve its capital position by reducing outstanding obligations,” PXP said.

FEI is an indirect subsidiary of PXP through its 98.08% effective interest in Forum Energy Ltd., which holds a 100% interest in FEPCO.

Once completed, FEPCO will increase its ownership in FEI to approximately 91.65% of the total issued and outstanding shares, from 66.67%.

FEI holds a 100% operating interest in Service Contract (SC) No. 40 in Northern Cebu, a key asset within PXP’s portfolio.

SC 40, or the North Cebu Block, is located in the Visayan Basin, covering the northern part of Cebu Island and adjacent offshore areas in the Central Tañon Strait and the Visayan Sea.

Earlier this year, PXP said it continues to evaluate options to advance the block, including potential farm-in arrangements, subject to the finalization of commercial terms and funding considerations.

In 2025, PXP reported a wider core net loss of P50.2 million, from P33.3 million in the previous year, due to lower output from the Galoc Field, softer crude prices, and higher financing and foreign exchange-related charges.

Consolidated petroleum revenues fell by 16.9% to P49.8 million from P67 million, amid weaker crude prices.

At the local bourse on Tuesday, shares in the company rose by 3.81% to close at P3 each. — Sheldeen Joy Talavera

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
