Subject of the Disclosure

EMPERADOR Board of Directors approves EMP’s issuance of the Introductory Document and accepts the conditions in the updated conditional eligibility-to-list letter issued by the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited on 19 June 2022.
Background/Description of the Disclosure

NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION IN WHOLE OR IN PART INTO OR IN THE UNITED STATES, EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA, UNITED KINGDOM, CANADA, JAPAN OR AUSTRALIA

Following the disclosures made to the Philippine Stock Exchange on August 17, 2021, September 16, 2021 and April 18, 2022, Emperador Inc.’s (the “Company”) Board of Directors approved on 20 June 2022, among others, the issuance of the Introductory Document to pursue its proposed secondary listing by way of introduction (“Secondary Listing”) on the Main Board of the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (the “SGX-ST”).

The Board approval also includes the Company’s acceptance of the conditions in the conditional eligibility-to-list letter (the “ETL”) for the Secondary Listing obtained from the SGX-ST, as amended, which is subject to fulfilment of certain conditions, including the submission of certain confirmations and undertakings by the Company to the SGX-ST. The receipt of the ETL is one of the requirements which has to be met in order for the Company to proceed with the Secondary Listing. The ETL is not to be taken as an indication of the merits of the Secondary Listing, the Company or its subsidiaries, or the shares of the Company.

The recent Board approval is a further step to the Company’s pursuit of the Secondary Listing on the Main Board of the SGX-ST. As compared to the 17 August 2021 general approval of the Board, as disclosed in the Company’s 18 August 2021 Press Release, the 20 June 2022 Board approval particularly authorizes the issuance of the Introductory Document and the Company’s acceptance of the conditions in the conditional ETL, as amended.

The Introductory Document has been issued with the SGX-ST on 20 June 2022, a copy of which is attached herewith. The SGX-ST assumes no responsibility for the correctness of any statements or opinions made or reports contained in the Introductory Document. The Company’s eligibility to list and the Company’s admission to the Official List of the SGX-ST is not an indication of the merits of the Secondary Listing, the Company and its subsidiaries or the shares of the Company.

Emperador CEO Winston S. Co Says, “The Board approval brings Emperador closer to our vision to be recognized as a truly global company. The SGX is an ideal venue for Emperador’s Secondary Listing as it provides the Company with greater access to the international investor community. We’d like to thank the SGX for their partnership and trust and we look forward to the listing of our stock in one of Asia’s premier exchanges. That being said, we will of course retain our primary listing with the Philippine Stock Exchange, our home exchange.”

Investment banks have been mandated to explore ways to introduce liquidity to the SGX listing, subject to market conditions and satisfaction of the ETL conditions.

Shareholders and potential investors are advised to exercise caution at all times and seek appropriate professional advice when dealing in the shares and securities of the Company, and to refrain from taking any action in respect of their investments which may be prejudicial to their interests.
