Clarification of News Report

We write in response to the PSE’s request for clarification and/or confirmation the company has received on 13 March 2024 involving the 12 March 2024 news article posted on Bilyonaryo.com entitled, “MVP-SPNEC connection? Roxas & Co., Inc. hits roof as speculation grows over newly-awarded farmlands’ possible conversion into solar farm”. The article reported in part that:

“Shares of Roxas and Co. Inc. (RCI) led by bilyonaryo Pedro Roxas took the spotlight in Tuesday’s trading amid rumors over the company’s plans for the expansive farmlands recently obtained from the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR).

xxx

Last month, RCI disclosed the resolution of a four-decade long land dispute with agrarian reform beneficiaries (ARBs) over its three haciendas – Palico, Banilad, and Calaway – in Batangas.

The Department of Agrarian Reform confirmed RCI’s ownership rights over 1,619.23 hectares of property, on top of its compensation for giving up 1,322 hectares to ARBs.

Investors are speculating RCI might convert the new properties in its portfolio into solar farms, most likely with the help of its partner, Metro Pacific Investments of bilyonaryo Manny V. Pangilinan.

xxx.”

Please be advised that Roxas & Company, Inc., the listed holding company of the Roxas Group, is drafting and finalizing its plans on how to maximize value of the properties that it has recovered and/or were awarded by the Department of Agrarian Reform. This will include residential, commercial, industrial, and tourism projects. The Company will make pertinent disclosures when the strategy and execution details are firmed up.

We trust that you find the foregoing disclosure in order.
