Information Requested
Dear PSE In relation to your query via PSE Edge at 11:34am and 11:40am today, we would like to say that: 1. At around 9:24am today, November 28, 2017, BSP posted a Media Release on their website in relation to results of examination of MBTC’s 1.75B fraud incident. 2. At 10:08am today, MBTC issued a Material Information disclosure via PSE Edge in relation to the Media Release of BSP. This was approved by PSE at 10:10am and posted on PSE Edge. 3. MBT believes that all pertinent material information that the investing public needs to know with regard to the fraud incident was already stated in the BSP Media Release. This was acknowledged and addressed in the 10:10am MBT Material Information disclosure to the PSE. The BSP Media Release was also included as an attachment to the MBT Material Information disclosure as reference. 4. We would like to reiterate that: - MBTC commits to implementing the BSP directives (as outlined in BSP Media Release) - MBTC assures the public that the bank operations remain business as usual – MBTC reiterates that no customer was affected - The full financial impact was already absorbed in MBTC’s 3Q results - BSP reaffirms the safety and soundness of MBTC We believe the above addresses your query. Thank you. Very truly yours. Juan Placido Mapa III Head, Investor Relations
