Subject of the Disclosure

Divestment of Integreon,Inc.

Background/Description of the Disclosure

Please be informed that LiveIt Investments, Limited (“LiveIt”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ayala Corporation, has divested its 58.71% stake in Integreon, Inc., a BVI business company limited by shares, through a business combination transaction with Anchorage Merger Sub Ltd., another BVI business company limited by shares owned by IGL Services Ltd, where Integreon, Inc. is the surviving entity. IGL Services Ltd. is a wholly owned subsidiary of certain private equity funds managed by NewQuest Capital Partners (“NewQuest”). As a result of the business combination, LiveIt exercised its right to exchange all of its shares of stock in Integreon Inc. for consideration.

Integreon Inc. is a leading global provider of legal support, research and business services to law firms, financial institutions and corporations. NewQuest, on the other hand, is Asia’s leading secondaries private equity platform.

With regards to LiveIt's other BPO investments, both HRMall and AffinityX are being retained. HRMall provides strategic value for the Ayala Group's HR requirements, AffinityX is a global leader in advertising and marketing production services, and both continue to achieve meaningful growth and profitability. In the case of AffinityX, a bolt-on acquisition in the digital space would be considered to accelerate growth as well as deepen capabilities.

Ayala Corp. has also expanded its investments in the Human Capital space to include Education, which is the main enabler for the upgrading of Filipino Talent. Ayala Education, Inc (AEI) was formed to provide affordable, quality education that significantly improves the employability for its graduates. To date, AEI has built APEC (Affordable Private Education Centers) Schools, a chain of private high schools that has scaled to 27 branches and over 10,300 students in the past 3 years, and acquired a majority stake in University of Nueva Caceres, a leading university in the Bicol region that has grown to 7,700 students. AEI is seeking to invest in other leading Higher Education Institutions around the country.
