Dito CME Holdings Corporation (formerly known as ISM Communications Corporation) is a Filipino conglomerate holding firm. Formed in 1925, the company primarily engages in telecommunications and information technology infrastructure.
Itogon-Suyoc Mines, Inc. was founded in January 1925 as a mining company.[3][4] During the 2000s, the company (which subsequently renamed as ISM Communications Corporation in April 2002[4]) began diversified with the investments in different industry sectors[3] such as telecommunications (a stake in Eastern Telecommunications Philippines, later divested in 2011),[5]gaming and hospitality (a 65% stake in Acentic GmbH),[6] and banking (a 97% stake in Philippine Bank of Communications, sold to Lucio Co),[7] before it became a holding company in 2016.[3]
Dennis Uy era
In August 2018, businessman Dennis Uy bought a 45% controlling stake in ISM,[3] and in March 2020, the firm was renamed as Dito CME Holdings Corporation.[4][8]
In November 2020, Dito CME announced its share swap deal with Uy's Udenna Corporation to indirect owning its stake in telecommunications company and its namesake, Dito Telecommunity. As part of a deal, Dito CME will own a 100% stake in Udenna's subsidiary, Udenna CME Holdings Corporation which co-owns (along with another Udenna subsidiary, Chelsea Logistics) one of Dito's parent companies, Dito Holdings Corporation (the other is the Chinese state-owned China Telecommunications Corporation). The deal made Udenna Corporation became as a parent company of Dito CME.[2]
In June 2021, Dito CME (through its subsidiary, ISM Equities Corporation (now DITO CME Ventures, Inc.)) signed a sales-and-supply agreement with Samsung Electronics Philippines.[9]
In July 2021, Dito CME announced its partnership with Alibaba Cloud to provide cloud computing and storage products for its digital educational platform, Luna Academy.[10]
In January 2022, Dito CME dropped the Rights offering of US$156 million for the expansion in Philippines citing the reason of "less than ideal market conditions."[11]
