 Trading of PSE Shares

TO : TRADING PARTICIPANTS

SUBJECT : TRADING OF PSE SHARES

DATE : January 4, 2019

With reference to PSE Memorandum TPA – No. 2018-0108 dated November 28, 2018, Trading
Participants (TPs) are further required to comply with the following:

A. Updated CAIF

TPs are required to modify the Client Account Information Form (CAIF) to indicate
whether the client is related to any broker dealer.

As defined in Item 1 (b) of the said SEC Rule Governing the Trading of PSE Shares
(“SEC Rule”), the term “related persons” of a broker shall include a “its subsidiaries and
affiliates, its directors, officers, principal stockholders and nominees to the PSE, and the
spouses and relatives up to the 4th civil degree of affinity or consanguinity thereof.”

Prior to accepting a buy order for PSE shares from a client, the TP should require such
client to update the CAIF to declare whether the client is a related person to any broker
dealer, in accordance with the above definition under the SEC Rule. Alternatively, the TP
may require the client to submit a certification, to be attached to the CAIF, as to the
relationship of the client with any broker dealer.

B. Monthly Certification

TPs are required to submit monthly a certification signed by their respective nominees
on any changes in the list of TP’s related parties, their shareholdings in PSE as well as
the PSE shareholdings of the TP. If there were no changes to the list of TP’s related
parties, their PSE shareholdings and the PSE shareholdings of the TP since the
previous month’s certification, the TP should submit a certification to that effect.

Attached as Annexes “A” (With changes in the related parties and/or PSE
shareholdings) and “B” (No change in the related parties and/or PSE shareholdings) are
the templates for the monthly certification to be submitted through EDGE portal every
third (3rd) trading day of the month.
 Trading of PSE Shares

In the absence of the TP’s nominee, the monthly certification shall be signed by the
president of the TP. If both the nominee and the president are unable to sign due to
justifiable reasons, the Associated Person (AP) shall be authorized to sign the
certification provided that the AP formally informs the Trading Participant Relations
Section of the Exchange of such circumstance prior to or simultaneous with the
submission of the monthly certification.

Failure to comply with the above requirements set by the Exchange shall be meted the
corresponding penalty.

Please be guided accordingly.
