the Revised Disclosure Rules

Subject of the Disclosure

PLDT remains committed to transparency, encourages investing public to focus on company’s official public statements and disclosures

Background/Description of the Disclosure

We would like to address certain inaccurate news reports that indicated that PLDT would be reaching out to US-based law firms that had expressed interest in probing possible violations of US federal securities laws.

While PLDT has seen reports that certain US law firms are investigating potential claims on behalf of investors of PLDT for alleged violations of securities laws—as is common when issuers disclose certain events—PLDT is not engaging with such law firms and has retained US counsel to defend against any suits that may be filed.

In the past month, there have been various write-ups circulating in the public space that contain inaccurate information. These write-ups have been detrimental not only to PLDT, but ultimately and more importantly, to the shareholders of the company.

We reiterate that PLDT remains committed to transparency and will continue to release timely official statements and disclosures that are based on fact, in order to apprise the investing public, especially its shareholders, of relevant information. We encourage everyone to focus on these official statements and disclosures from the company in order obtain accurate information. We also caution against relying on words attributed to, or purportedly quoted from, PLDT officials that are not direct quotes from PLDT’s official statements or disclosures as they may contain contextual errors or inaccuracies.

XX

This press release may contain some statements which constitute “forward-looking statements” that are subject to a number of risks and opportunities that could affect PLDT’s business and results of operations. Although PLDT believes that expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no guarantee of future performance, action or events.

Other Relevant Information
