Information Requested Your Response / Remarks / Comments

Please provide your preferred fiscal year for the corporation. This may follow the calendar year or any other specific fiscal
year. Any twelve-month period may be provided for the fiscal year. There is no standard or common fiscal year for Philippine
corporations.

DATE OF ANNUAL STOCKHOLDERS' MEETING

Please provide your preferred date for the annual stockholders' meeting of the corporation. The proposed date may either be a
fixed date (i.e., 15 April) or a variable date (i.e., second Monday of April).

Normally, annual stockholders' meetings are held only after the audited financial statements are already available, and before
the deadline for the filing the income tax returns of the corporation. Based on our experience, auditors usually complete their
audit and issue the audited financial statements approximately three months after the close of the accounting period. On the
other hand, under Philippine law, a corporation is required to file its annual income tax return not later than the 15th day of the
fourth month after the close of its taxable year (whether the accounting period follows the fiscal or calendar year).
