Sections 4.1 and 4.4 of the Revised Disclosure Rules

Subject of the Disclosure

REPLY TO SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION's NEWS CLARIFICATION

Background/Description of the Disclosure

AbaCore Capital Holdings Inc. (PSE:ABA) is writing in response to your March 5, 2024, letter regarding an article published on BusinessWorld entitled “AbaCore secures $1.6-M investment from Singapore-based firm.”

We respond and clarify two main points:

This transaction does not involve the issuance of primary shares by ABA or sale of its treasury shares. Rather, it appears that it involves the purchase of shares by investors from shareholders of ABA at that timein the open market. Abacore had no knowledge nor participation in said investment decision of the parties involved.

Abacore also had no direct involvement, participation, or solicitation in the BusinessWorld article referenced in your letter.

Given this, Abacore remains in full compliance with Rules 17.1.1.1 of the Securities Regulation Code Implementing Rules and Regulations and Section 4.5 of the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) Consolidated Listing and Disclosure Rules. Abacore reaffirms its commitment to comply with said reporting requirements and other regulations of the PSE and SEC.

Nevertheless, Abacore is pleased to hear that a group of foreign institutional investors invested in the shares of Abacore through the facilities of the PSE. Certainly, said investment expresses a vote of confidence not just in the company’s long-term future, but that of the Philippines as well. We, together with the PSE and this honorable SEC, support and will continue to support such developments as we foster a healthy and growing investment atmosphere in our country.
