Clarification of News Report

This is with reference to the letter of the Exchange directing First Gen Corporation (First Gen) to clarify and/or confirm the
portions of the following news article entitled “First Gen Q1 recurring profit drops 11% to $45M” posted in The Manila Times (Internet Edition) on May 10, 2017:

“. . .
First Gen CFO and Treasurer Emmanuel P. Singson said that capital expenditure (capex) this year is set at $40 to $50 million, excluding EDC: $15-25 million would go to LNG facility soil improvement and around $15 million to finish San Gabriel and Avion.
. . . .
‘Our capex [this year] is relatively low because we’ve spent all our capex in the last couple of years. Our priority this year is less capex-centric. It’s driven by how we can prove to our shareholders that San Gab and Avion are good investments,’ Puno said.
