Subject of the Disclosure

Malaysian Competition Commission Decision involving Gold Coin Feedmills (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd.

Background/Description of the Disclosure

Aboitiz Equity Ventures Inc. (AEV) received notice today from Gold Coin Feedmills (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. ("GCFM"), its indirect subsidiary, that it received written notice relating to the financial penalty imposed by Malaysia Competition Commission (MyCC) in the amount of RM 97,511,670.48 on GCFM for allegedly colluding with other feed millers in Malaysia to increase the poultry feed price during three periods between 2020 to 2022.

GCFM disagrees with the findings and maintains that its pricing practices were independent, commercially justified, and compliant with applicable competition laws.

GCFM has commenced judicial review proceedings before the High Court of Malaya, and an ad interim stay has been granted, suspending enforcement. Accordingly, the decision is on appeal and not yet enforceable.

The MyCC decision has no material adverse impact on AEV’s financial position.
