TITLE OF THE COMPANY:

SECURITY BANK

HISTORY OF THE COMPANY:


Security Bank Corporation has a proud history of financial management expertise, with a proven
track record of stability and consistent profitability achieved through an efficient, perceptive and
forward-thinking management style. The Bank stands firm as one of the Philippines’ top ten
private domestic universal banks in terms of assets, deposits, capital and return on equity.

Our Beginnings

Established on June 18, 1951, Security Bank, known then as the Security Bank and Trust
Company, was the first private and Filipino-controlled Bank of the post-World War II period.
Through the years, the bank experienced steady growth and success through our consistent and
unflinching commitment to serve clients and stakeholders with milestones such as:

 The late 50s marked Security Bank’s branch expansion in various parts of Manila. First
among our banking peers, the bank had more branches in the metropolis than any other
bank in the country.
 The 60s was marked by the opening of the bank’s first provincial branch in Angeles,
Pampanga as a part of the bank’s goal of a broader, countrywide reach. Throughout the
decade, branches were established in various parts of the Visayas and Mindanao.
 In the 70s, Security Bank laid the foundation for a culture of innovation in product
development with the introduction of Diners Club, the first credit card franchise in the
Philippines. The Bank also introduced to the market innovative trust products and services
that served as forerunners of today’s pre-need and common-trust plans.
 In 1991, new majority owners led by Frederick Y. Dy assumed control of Security Bank
and Trust Company, infusing a fresh direction for the Bank.
 In 1994, the bank was granted a Universal Bank license and not much later in 1995,
Security Bank was publicly listed on the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE: SECB) in 1995
for an impressive initial public offering of Php 1.5B.
 On June 18, 2001, SBC celebrated 50 years of banking in the Philippines, as it continued
to live a tradition of banking excellence.

RANKING OF GOOD GOVERNANCE:


Security Bank Corporation (SBC) won top awards in Corporate Governance Asia’s 7th Asian
Excellence Awards on June 9, 2017 at the JW Marriott Hotel in Hong Kong. For the third time,
SBC was recognized as “Best Investor Relations Company, Philippines” for its commitment in
observing professionalism, transparency, accountability and fairness in engaging with
shareholders and stakeholders.

Cultivating a strongly engaged investor relations program

Security Bank recognizes the importance of good corporate governance in building lasting
relationships with investors. Fundamentally, SBC maintains an investor relations program that
keeps the investment community informed of important developments in the Bank.

In its journal, Corporate Governance Asia pointed out that “Time and again, Security Bank
proactively encourages continuous discussions with its shareholders and institutional investors
with an aim to further strengthen and support the attainment of the Bank’s corporate goals and
objectives. Through consistent engagement and pinpointing areas for enhancement, Security
Bank works closely with the investment community to increase shareholders’ value, ensure good
corporate governance, comply with all relevant laws and regulations, and protect shareholders’
rights and minority interests”.

Sustaining high standards of corporate governance

Good corporate governance is integral to achieving SBC’s vision of becoming one of the top
universal banks in the country. Equipped with a strong balance sheet, superior return on
investment (ROI) and strategic partnership with Japan’s largest financial group, Mitsubishi UFJ
Financial Group, Inc. (MUFG), Security Bank is able to sustain high standards of corporate
governance in the Philippines.

Security Bank’s approach is well-rounded, building strengths in both the retail and wholesale
businesses. The Bank’s Retail Banking business has a broad suite of products and services that
address the needs of customers. On the other hand, SBC’s Wholesale Banking segment supports
various infrastructure projects that contribute to nation building. The BetterBanking commitment
is not limited to products and services. Financial literacy programs and economic forums are
conducted to help clients and partners make informed business decisions.

The people are also integral in uplifting corporate governance in any organization. Security Bank
ensures that it employs individuals who will continue to promote corporate governance and
inspire best business practices. Leaders must use their expertise to develop the business and
safeguard the trust of Security Bank’s stakeholders. Accordingly, SBC President & CEO
Alfonso L. Salcedo, Jr. was lauded once again as “Asia’s Best CEO for Investor Relations,
Philippines” for exhibiting an exceptional leadership in managing expectations of investors,
shareholders and stakeholders. Security Bank CFO and Executive Vice President (EVP) Joselito
E. Mape was also recognized as “Asia’s Best CFO for Investor Relations, Philippines” in this
year’s awards for his effective corporate leadership dealing with capital markets.

The Asian Excellence Awards is an annual event hosted by Corporate Governance Asia, the
authoritative journal of corporate governance practices in Asia. It is the benchmark of excellence
in the areas of Investor Relations, Environmental, Communications and Corporate Governance
in Asia. Security Bank is a consistent awardee at the Asian Excellence Awards, having been
recognized for Best CEO for Investor Relations, Best Investor Relations Company and Best
Corporate Social Responsibility in the past years.

Inspired by this international recognition, Security Bank will work harder and smarter to deliver
on its promise of BetterBanking.
