Subject of the Disclosure

Foreign Ownership Restriction

Background/Description of the Disclosure

This is to inform the investing public that today, 7 November 2018, the Philippine Stock Exchange (“PSE”) effected the lifting of the foreign ownership restriction on Asiabest Group International Inc. (“Company” or “Asiabest”). The action is based upon the Company’s application and representations that it is not subject to foreign ownership restrictions considering that it is no longer engaged in the construction business and currently operates as a holding company. The Company’s primary purpose in its Amended Articles of Incorporation approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission is, in fact, that of a holdings company. In support of its request to lift the foreign ownership restriction, the Company also submitted to the PSE several applicable SEC Opinions.

In view of the above and the PSE’s favorable action, it is confirmed that the previous foreign ownership restriction on Asiabest has been lifted by the PSE effective 7 November 2018 and as such, the shares of stock of the Company can be wholly or 100% owned by foreign nationals.
