Clarification of News Report

We write in reply to the Exchange’s request for clarification to the news article entitled “Pangilinan media group plans joint venture with ABS-CBN” posted in BusinessWorld (Online Edition) on August 5, 2022, which reported in part that:

“LOCAL media conglomerate MediaQuest Holdings, Inc. (MediaQuest), which operates TV5 Network, Inc., a major player in the television market, will soon establish a joint venture with ABS-CBN Corp.

‘The model we are working on… (is) a joint venture… using the platform of TV5 as the broadcast platform of both TV5 and ABS-CBN,’ MediaQuest Chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan told reporters on Thursday.

‘We are not acquiring ABS-CBN, we are not acquiring any shares in ABS-CBN,’ he noted.

In terms of equity, he said it will start at approximately 35% for ABS-CBN and 65% for MediaQuest.

. . . .”

Discussions about expanding our various partnerships have been ongoing. Should there be any definitive agreements that are signed, we will file the necessary disclosures.
