Subject of the Disclosure

2015 ELTIP Cycle 4

Background/Description of the Disclosure

Under the Company’s Senior Management Stock Option and Incentive Plan (Plan), the achievement of hurdle rates is a requirement for the Executive Long-Term Incentive Program (ELTIP) stock issuance. Under the Plan rules, the stock options allocated shall be granted if the following growth in annual earnings per share (EPS) for the 3-year program is achieved, as follows:


% growth in annual EPS for 3 years % of allocated options to be granted
15% and above 150% of options
12% to less than 15% 100% of options
10% to less than 12% 50% of options
Below 10% Zero options

For the ELTIP Cycle 4 covering the period 2015-2017, the Company achieved 92% of the minimum hurdle rate of 10% of annual growth of EPS. EPS declined by 9% in 2015 and grew by 24.5% in 2016 and 14.5% in 2017. The decline in EPS in 2015 was attributable to long-term investments in information technology, network development, acceleration of store network expansion and start-up of new businesses. While the EPS growth achievement for the 3 years was less than 10%, the Compensation Committee of the JFC Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Ernesto Tanmantiong, approved the granting of the 2015 ELTIP Cycle 4 at 40% (roughly 92% of 50%) of the total shares allocated, or 4.5 million shares out of the total 11,470,000 allocated shares. The Compensation Committee has the authority to grant exceptions to the Company’s Plan rules, upon recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer.

The basis for this exception is that the causes of the 9% decline in 2015 EPS were expenses for long-term investments which have been benefitting JFC. For instance, on the acceleration of store network expansion, our new store opening in the Philippines increased from 169 in 2014 to 249 in 2015, to 243 in 2016 and to 328 in 2017.
