3. Basis of Selling Price

The CRLO must include in his submitted CSW his recommendation for the
proposed selling price of the intended sale of the company's real or personal
property/ies. To ensure that the sale is above board, the proposed selling price must
be in accordance with the following guidelines:

1. For sale of real estate property — It must not be less than its current market
value as determined by an IC accredited appraiser or Bureau of Internal
Revenue (BIR)'s zonal valuation, whichever is higher.

2. For sale of personal property — It must not be less than its book value as
declared in the company's latest annual statement or audited financial
statements or its current market value as determined by IC or professional
appraiser or other relevant agency, whichever is higher.

Notwithstanding the above requirements, the Commission may, in his own


discretion and/or when circumstances warrant, designate an independent professional
appraiser to determine the appropriate valuation of the property/ies for sale.

The Commission, upon recommendation of the CRLO and the CRL Division,
may allow a lesser selling price in view of the exceptional or special circumstances of
the property/ies intended for sale (e.g., pending case, annotations, informal settlers).

4. Ocular Inspection

If the above-stated documents are sufficient in form and substance, the


Commission's CRL Division shall conduct an ocular inspection of the real or personal
property/ies intended for sale by the company. Thereafter, the CRL Division shall
submit its recommendation to Insurance Commissioner for his consideration and
approval.

5. Publication and/or Notice of Sale

When CRLO's recommendation for intended sale, transfer or disposal of real


and personal property is approved by the insurance Commissioner, the company shall
be required to publish in a newspaper of general circulation and post a notice of sale
in the conspicuous places of the company premises, as well as in the website of this
Commission and the company, if any, to invite the public and other interested
bidders/buyers to submit a competitive proposal therefor. In addition, the CRLO and
the CRL Division may also identify and invite prospective buyers through invitation
letters.

The aforesaid publication must strictly comply with the requirements stated in
IC-Circular Letter No. 2016-34 dated 21 June 2016 entitled "Newspaper Publication
Requirement," which must have the following minimum details:

1. Location and detailed description of property;


2. Approved minimum selling/bid price;

3

3. The person and the place wherein the said Letter of Intent or proposed bid
will be submitted, copy furnished the CRL Division of the IC;
4. A statement that the properties are for sale on an "as-is-where-is" basis.

6. Manner of Selling

To ensure transparency, the sale, transfer or disposal of the real or personal


property must be made through a public auction or, if not possible under the
circumstances, through negotiation to at least three (3) prospective buyers, wherein
the highest or responsive bid or offer shall be chosen.

If despite publication and/or notice, only one prospective buyer submitted its
proposal, such prospective buyer may be chosen provided his/her bid is responsive
and shall not be less than the approved minimum selling price, pursuant to the
abovementioned guidelines.

The bidding procedure or negotiation process may, when circumstances


warrant, be observed by a representative of the CRL Division to confirm the
compliance with aforesaid requirements.

For sale of trust fund assets of pre-need companies under CRL and those with
servicing license, the auction shall be conducted in accordance with the existing
auction procedure of the trustee banks, which shall be supervised by the CRLO and a
representative of the CRL Division. The IC, through the CRL Division, may recommend
reasonable modifications to said procedure. In the absence of such procedure, the
process under this Memorandum shall apply.

7. Compliance Report

A Compliance Report must be submitted to the Commission by the CRLO, with


copies of necessary documents showing compliance with the herein guidelines within
thirty (30) days from receipt of this letter. The said Compliance Report shall include an
accounting of the proceeds of the sale and its intended use, allocation and distribution.

The foregoing shall be without prejudice to other requirements that the


Commission may require from the company or its appointed CRLO.

Subsequent guidelines shall be issued from time to time to establish or clarify


existing guidelines, rules, regulations and processes of this Commission.

Please coordinate with the CRL Division for the implementation of this CRL
Memo.

For guidance and strict compliance.
