After deducting the Selling Charges other than Broker’s commission from a Tendering Shareholder’s tender proceeds, the net Tender Offer Price is estimated to be Ten Pesos and Forty-One Centavos (Php10.41) per share.

Any sale or transfer of such common shares after the Voluntary Delisting will be made outside the facilities of the PSE and will be subject to the prevailing capital gains tax (levied on any capital gain generated by such holder through such sale or transfer) and documentary stamp tax, instead of the stock transaction tax applicable to sales of listed shares of stock transacted through the PSE. In addition, share transfers after the Voluntary Delisting will be subject to the requirement to secure a Certificate Authorizing Registration from the Bureau of Internal Revenue before transfer of legal title to the shares may be effected.
