PSE Disclosure Form 6-1 - Declaration of Cash Dividends References: SRC Rule 17 (SEC Form 17-C) and
Sections 6 and 4.4 of the Revised Disclosure Rules

Subject of the Disclosure

Declaration of Cash Dividends of PhP 0.065 per Common Share of the Outstanding Capital Stock of the Corporation

Background/Description of the Disclosure

The Board of Directors approved today the declaration of a regular cash dividend of PhP 0.005 per share and supplemental or one-time, special cash dividend of PhP 0.06 per share, for a total cash dividend of PhP 0.065 per share, to all stockholders of record as of March 12, 2025. The payment will be made on March 25, 2025. The aggregate amount of the payment to be made in connection with these cash dividends is PhP 100.75 million.

The regular cash dividend declared is consistent with the SBS dividend policy of distributing approximately twenty percent (20%) of the prior year's net income after tax based on the Company's audited financial statements as of December 31, 2024.

The one-time, special cash dividend, on the other hand, is being made in connection with the gains realized from the divestment of its 65% shareholding interest in its former -subsidiary, Lence Holdings Corporation, in 2021, which netted gross revenues of P588.7 million.

Due to the uncertainty brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic then, the Company took a cautious approach, prioritized additional liquidity, and postponed the distribution to the shareholders of part of the divestment gains by way of special dividends. As general business conditions have rebounded and the Company's capital management is at an optimal gearing level, Management deems it proper to share some of the returns of its diversification strategy into property-related investments to its shareholders.

The cash dividends represent approximately 9% payout from the Company's total unrestricted retained earnings as of
December 31, 2024.

For certificated shareholders, the checks for dividend payments shall be delivered via courier to shareholders' registered address. For scripless shareholders, dividend payments will be coursed through PCD through respective brokers.
