Clarification of News Report

This is to clarify the news article posted in BusinessWorld Online on December 27, 2016, entitled “8990 Holdings says in talks to acquire stake in Megawide.” The relevant portion of the article reads in part:

“8990 HOLDINGS, Inc. is looking into owning a part of Megawide Construction Corp. whose prefabrication expertise could support the mass housing developer’s foray in condominium development.

In a Dec. 9 interview, 8990 Holdings President and Chief Executive Officer Januario Jesus B. Atencio III confirmed that discussions with Megawide over a possible stake acquisition have been taking place.

‘We’re just talking about it -- baka pwede. Kung baka, magkano? (Maybe it is possible. If possible, then how much?),’ said Mr. Atencio when asked about ongoing talks of buying into the diversified infrastructure and engineering conglomerate.

Megawide neither confirmed nor denied holding discussions with the listed mass housing developer for a possible investment.

‘8990 is an existing client and we are in regular communication about existing projects,’ Megawide Corporate Communications Officer Anna Karenina M. Salgado said in response to a question posed to Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Michael C. Cosiquien.

. . . .”

We confirm that 8990 Holdings (“8990”) is an existing client of Megawide Construction Corporation (“Megawide”), and that Megawide maintains regular communication with 8990 regarding its existing projects.

We also confirm that 8990 has expressed interest for a possible stake in Megawide’s construction business only, but no specifics have been discussed.

We also clarify that there are no definitive agreements or decisions made in connection with 8990 purchasing Megawide shares.

Megawide receives investment proposals from various companies from time to time. Should an agreement be reached, disclosure shall be made immediately.

We trust that the foregoing is sufficiently helpful to you. Please do not hesitate to call us should you have any further questions.

Thank you.
