Clarification of News Report

We reply to the request for clarification of The Philippine Stock Exchange, Inc. on the news article entitled “SMIC bankrolls P115 billion anew for 2025 capex” posted in PhilStar.com on November 28, 2024, the pertinent portion of which reads:

“MANILA, Philippines — SM Investments Corp. (SMIC), the investment holding company of the Sy family, is expected to spend as much as P115 billion again for its capital expenditures next year to support its growth initiatives.

Erwin Pato, executive vice president for treasury, finance and planning at SMIC, said the group is likely to allocate a similar amount of capex for 2025 as it did this year.

‘It will be around the same as this year, more or less,’ he said.

SMIC has earmarked up to P115 billion for its capex this year for the continuing expansion of its various businesses.

. . . .”

We confirm that the projected capital expenditure of the SM Group for 2025 is expected to align closely with that of 2024, though the specific amount for SMIC has not yet been finalized.

Thank you.
