The Company believes that a commitment to proper disclosures and transparency of the businesses elicit the trust and confidence of stakeholders. The Aboitiz Group puts a high premium to its reputation and work at keeping this well-earned trust of stakeholders gained over the years. Pursuant to the Group’s commitment to transparency and accountability, the Company continues to improve its dedicated corporate governance web page on its website.
The corporate website makes available to the public, copies of the consolidated annual and sustainability report, annual reports, company disclosures, investor reports, organizational information, Board and Board Committee membership, policies such as the CG Manual, Code of Ethics, minutes of the ASM, Investor Relations Information, and other information relevant to stakeholders. The website serves as a resource center for stakeholders and the public. The Board Secretariat is also fully committed to ensuring full and accurate disclosures of information to shareholders, the public and all other stakeholders.
Transparent Ownership Structure
The Governance and Compliance Team, as well as the Board Secretariat monitor and timely disclose any changes in the share ownership of their respective Directors, Executives, and Key Officers. They also ensure that trading blackouts are implemented at the right time and to appropriate individuals.
Every quarter, AEV and AboitizPower disclose a public ownership report detailing the extent of ownership of their respective controlling stockholders, including the shareholdings of subsidiaries and affiliates, and of Directors and Key Officers. In addition, the two companies disclose a list of their top 100 stockholders every quarter. They also disclose their top 20 stockholders, including record and beneficial stockholders owning more than five percent of their respective outstanding capital stock. Both companies, however, have no control over external stockholders who opt to put their shares under nominee holding companies such as the PCD Nominee Corporation, and are thus unable to make any disclosure on the details of beneficial ownership.
