The nature and description of the proposed transaction, including the timetable for implementation, and related regulatory requirements if applicable

On December 5, 2024, ABG received information that TRAL, its major stockholder, entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with PLC, as stated above.

The corporate relationship between Premiumlands Corp. (PLC) and Industry Holdings and Development Corp. (IHDC) is characterized by a shared and integrated control under a common ultimate beneficial owner, Francis Lloyd T. Chua (FLTC).

Premiumlands Corp. (PLC) is owned 99.85% by Premium Capital Holdings Inc. (PCHI), which in turn is owned 99.98% by Francis Lloyd T. Chua. Industry Holdings and Development Corp. (IHDC) is directly owned by Francis Lloyd T. Chua, who holds a 90% ownership stake.

Subject to the fulfillment of Closing Conditions, TRAL agreed to sell to the Buyer, and the Buyer agreed to purchase the Sale Shares not later than 60 calendar days from the signing of the SPA. The sale and purchase transaction was closed on August 8, 2025 via a special block sale through the Philippine Stock Exchange.

The Buyer conducted a Tender Offer which was completed and crossed through the PSE following the lifting of the trading suspension on ABG shares.

Likewise, the Buyer shall initiate and pursue at least one follow-on offering to be conducted by ABG within one (1) year from closing or completion of the Transaction.


Pursuant to the directives issued by the SEC through multiple correspondences addressed to the Company, the Registration Statement shall be amended in conjunction with the Follow-On Offering.

As a matter of course, ABG shall conduct a follow-on offering, which will then require the submission of an accurate and complete Registration Statement incorporating the above-mentioned changes in material facts and information.

In compliance with the Exchange's letter dated December 16, 2024 stating that the Transaction is covered by the Exchange's Revised Rules on Backdoor Listing, ABG is submitting this Corporate Comprehensive Disclosure to appropriately apprise the trading participants and the investing public of the Transaction.

On September 2, 2025, the Company disclosed via the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE or Exchange) EDGE the following:
(For the complete information on the above-mentioned disclosures, please refer to the attached SEC Form 17C.)

The accrued benefits of ABG as result of the disclosed transactions and the resulting ownership structure shall be determined upon the completion of the valuation process, which is still ongoing.

The envisioned sequence of events are as follows:

The initial investment in Concrete Stone Corporation (CSC) for CSC’s working capital has already been carried out. After the annual stockholders’ meeting of ABG, the company shall file for an application of increase in its authorized capital stock to accommodate the disclosed share-for-share swap and the share-for-real-estate swap. Upon the SEC’s approval of the application for increase of the authorized capital stock which will necessarily include the infusion of the operating companies and the real estate. The private placement shall commence for the unissued authorized stocks while ABG simultaneously prepares for the Follow-On Offering. The Company will conduct a Follow-On Offering pursuant to Section 8.4 of the Revised Rules on Backdoor Listing should the Company falls below the minimum public ownership (MPO) of 20% to address this matter.

The Subscription Agreement covering the subscription of shares between ABG and CSC will be executed on September 29, 2025.

The reason/purpose of the transaction including the benefits which are expected to be accrued to the listed issuer as a result of the transaction

The transaction enabled the Buyer to obtain 2/3 of ABG’s ownership, which, in effect, resulted in having majority control of ABG. The purpose of the transaction is for the Buyer to acquire a listed platform, ABG, where they can infuse and consolidate their respective assets and businesses in order to create an end-to-end infrastructure business group in the Philippines that has the whole ecosystem of the industry.

By acquiring control and ownership of ABG, the Buyer will have the authority to execute the planned asset infusion and consolidation into ABG, which will result in the listed issuer, ABG, transitioning from a dormant shell company into a holding company with subsidiaries that operate and generate recurring and ongoing revenue and income.

As of date, the impact of the Transaction on ABG has yet to be quantified and should any matter that merit disclosure arises in the future, the Buyers and/or ABG will promptly provide notification of those matters.

The aggregate value of the consideration, explaining how this is to be satisfied, including the terms of any arrangements for payment on a deferred basis

The total consideration for the sale and purchase of the Sale Shares, as agreed, is Php510,400,000.00 or approximately Php2.552 per share.

The sale has been effected through a special block sale which was made through direct settlement between the parties executed on August 8, 2025 through the Philippine Stock Exchange while the payment was made through direct settlement between TRAL and Buyer.

While the payment was directly settled between TRAL and the Buyer and the process of the transfer has already been made, the stock transfer agent has yet to record this in its books. In accordance with the prescribed rules on the due date of structed disclosures, the POR was already disclosed for the purpose of presentation on August 28, 2025, thus, the foreign ownership of ABG remains at 66.69%, considering that the block sale between TRAL and the Buyer had already been executed.

The basis upon which the consideration or the issue value was determined

The consideration was agreed between the Parties as a reasonable value for the Sale Shares, taking into account, among others, ABG's Net Asset Value and fair price for the Sale Shares.

As per the Board Resolution approved and ratified last September 2, 2025, the Php25.00 base price of ABG shares in the swap for the vend-in companies is fixed. It is the number of shares that changes depending on the valuations of these companies. ABG is currently finalizing the valuations to determine the number of shares corresponding to this swap or vend-in. The Company intends to stick to this formula and expects the same to work within the framework currently being finalized.

For cash considerations, the detailed work program of the application of proceeds, the corresponding timetable of disbursements and status of each project included in the work program. For debt retirement application, state which projects were financed by debt being retired, the project cost, amount of project financed by debt and financing sources for the remaining cost of the project

Currently, ABG has no business activities.
ABG will remain a holding company but the Buyer plans to infuse and consolidate its interests in related entities operating in the infrastructure industry that work together to create synergies and competitive advantages for the group. The value proposition of the Buyer working as a group is the vertically integrated nature of their organization that begins with raw materials extraction and processing on one end and finished products on the other end.

The Buyer’s proposed business plan for ABG are as follows:

1. The acquisition of Kabalayan Housing Corp. (“Kabalayan”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of PLC, and the initial infusion of several land assets located in different provinces into Kabalayan to be used for the operationalization and development of PLC’s Kabalayan Mass Housing Projects. The infusion of the assets into Kabalayan is still underway, which involves several parcel of land approximately worth 1,800,000,000 to 2,000,000,000.00. These infusion will be used for housing developments.; and

2. The consolidation of the following interests and operating subsidiaries of IHDC involved in manufacturing, logistics and construction with ABG:
a. Concrete Stone Corp.
b. Industry Movers Corp.

The indicative timetable for the completion of the above proposed business plan, is on or before the end of 1st quarter of 2026 subject to securing necessary regulatory approvals.

The business plans of the Buyer, which include the infusion and consolidation of the Buyer’s respective assets and businesses in ABG in order to create an end-to-end infrastructure group in the Philippines has been approved by the Board and is subject of the disclosure made on September 3, 2025 through PSE Form 4-30 with Circular No. C06439-2025.
