A dispute within the Lopez family centers on an allegation that Federico “Piki” Lopez agreed to pay a P50-billion transaction premium in connection with a hydropower investment involving Prime Infrastructure Capital Inc. The Lopez majority bloc says it has found references in board documents that indicate First Gen Corp.’s planned P75-billion investment in Prime’s hydropower business includes the alleged premium. The group claims First Gen’s acquisition of a 40-percent stake in Prime’s hydropower assets is described as including this additional premium on top of other amounts the deal reportedly covers, including figures referenced as part of construction-related costs. The matter is being treated as a flashpoint in an ongoing family disagreement over control of the Lopez Group. The available reporting presents the accusation from the Lopez majority bloc and describes the controversy as tied to internal governance and related corporate documentation. No details from the other side of the dispute are included in the provided excerpts.
