Other Relevant Information
Amendments made: 1. Issued Shares (After) include the 19,048 common shares subscribed by Joseph Sy pursuant to the increase in the authorized capital stock. 2. Outstanding Shares (After) include the 19,048 common shares subscribed by Joseph Sy pursuant to the increase in the authorized capital stock. 3. Other Relevant Information to state the guidelines on the implementation of the reverse stock split.
The following are the guidelines for the implementation of the reverse stock split: a. As a result of the reverse stock split, each three (3) shares of issued and outstanding common stock will be automatically converted into one (1) newly issued and outstanding share of common stock. This will proportionately reduce the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock from 17,467,014,310 to 5,822,338,103.33 and par value from PhP0.35 to PhP1.05 per share each.
b. Proportionate voting rights and other rights of the stockholders will not be affected by the reverse stock split, other than the treatment of fractional shares. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split; instead holders of fractional shares will be paid out in cash for any fractional interests based on the closing price of the common share on the effective date of the reverse stock split.
c. Shareholders holding shares in scripless form do not need to take any action in connection with the reverse stock split, and will see the impact of the reverse split automatically reflected in their accounts following the effective date. Stockholders holding their shares in certificated form will receive a letter of instruction from the stock and transfer agent shortly after the effective date.
