The Aboitiz Group, through its power unit, has already expressed interest in acquiring the power asset with AES, AboitizPower president and chief operating officer Antonio Moraza said in an interview with reporters late Wednesday. We are studying. (It’s) very advanced and everyone else, I’m sure are interested. Any power projects in the Philippines, anything for sale, we will look at,’ he said. . . . . He noted that the transaction is seen to be closed within the year, as AES is keen on selling the facility. ‘(On the timeline,) I’m under the impression that before the end of the year,’ Moraza said. . . . . ” We confirm that Aboitiz Power Corporation is always interested in looking at opportunities to grow. The company assesses acquisition opportunities, and determines if these are aligned with the company’s strategies and long term goals. We will make the necessary disclosures when details of transactions become available. We trust the foregoing is to your satisfaction. Very truly yours, ABOITIZ POWER CORPORATION By: (SGD.) M.
