<P align="center" style="font-size: 20pt"><B>MPIC acquires an additional 10% direct shareholding in Meralco through acquisition from Beacon<BR>
Electric</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 20pt"><FONT style="font-size: 10pt"><B>MANILA, Philippines, 15 April&nbsp;2015 &#150; PLDT Communications and Energy Ventures, Inc (&#147;PCEV&#148;)</B>
today announced that Beacon Electric Asset Holdings Inc. (&#147;Beacon&#148;), a special purpose company
jointly owned by PCEV and Metro Pacific Investments Corp (&#147;MPIC&#148;), will sell 112.71&nbsp;million shares,
comprising approximately 10%, in Manila Electric Company (&#147;Meralco&#148;), to MPIC at a price of P235
per share for an aggregate consideration of P26.5&nbsp;billion. MPIC will pay Beacon P1.0&nbsp;billion
immediately, P17.0&nbsp;billion in June&nbsp;2015, and the balance of P8.5&nbsp;billion on or before July&nbsp;2016.
</FONT>

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Upon completion, PCEV&#146;s effective interest in Meralco will be reduced to 17.48%. MPIC will own 15%
in Meralco directly and, through Beacon, an additional 17.48% for a total effective interest in
Meralco of 32.48%. There will be no change in the aggregate interest of MPIC and Beacon in Meralco
which remains at 49.96%.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&#147;The PLDT group continues to evaluate opportunities to maximize its investment returns. This
transaction allows us to do just that without impinging on our strong relationships with MPIC and
Meralco&#148;, stated <B>Napoleon L Nazareno, PCEV Chairman and PLDT CEO.</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">PCEV is a holding company owned 99.84% by Smart Communications, Inc., whose primary asset is its
holding in Meralco, now held indirectly through Beacon.
