PART A RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDERS

A.1
Basic Shareholder Rights



A.1.1
Does the company pay (interim and final/annual)
dividends in an equitable and timely manner; that is,
all shareholders are treated equally and paid within
30 days after being (i) declared for interim dividends
and (ii) approved by shareholders at general
meetings for final dividends?
OECD Principle II: The Rights of Shareholders and Key
Ownership Functions
(A) Basic shareholder rights should include the right
to, amongst others: (6) share in the profits of the
corporation.

Yes
The Company pays dividends in an equitable and timely manner.
All holders of the same class of shares are treated equally in the
payment of dividends and payment is made within 30 days.
PLDT’s adherence to the OECD Principle II, the Guiding Reference
cited, is reflected in the recognition it received in 2013 for having
the Most Consistent Dividend Policy among publicly-listed
Philippine companies by Alpha Southeast Asia Magazine based
on the votes of independent investors/analysts and as one of the
largest dividend payers on a per share basis and the third largest
dividend payer in Southeast Asia.
Under Philippine law: (a) dividend payments are reckoned from

record date; (b) distinction between preferred and common
shares in the distribution of dividends is allowed; and (c) unlike
stock dividends, cash dividends are approved only by the board.

OECD Principle IV (A)
The rights of stakeholders that are established by
law or through mutual agreements are to be
respected. In all OECD countries, the rights of
stakeholders are established by law (e.g., labour,
business, commercial and insolvency laws) or by
contractual relations. Even in areas where
stakeholder interests are not legislated, many firms
make additional commitments to stakeholders, and
concern over corporate reputation and corporate
performance often requires the recognition of
broader interests.
