Cirtek Holdings vice chairman Roberto Juanchito Dispo said in a statement the planned share
repurchase program was aimed at bolstering shareholder returns.

The company did not provide other details, including the number of shares it would purchase

the timing and method of the share repurchases,‟ Dispo said.

With respect to the said news article, we would like to confirm the abovementioned statements
