Business A. Business Development The Philippine National Bank (PNB or the “Bank”), the country’s first universal bank, is the fourth largest local private commercial bank in terms of assets, net loans and receivables, capital and deposits. As of December 31, 2019, the Bank has a distribution network of 715 domestic branches and offices and 1,626 automated teller machines (ATM) in the Philippines. In addition, it has the widest international footprint among Philippine banks spanning Asia, Europe, the Middle East and North America with its overseas branches, representative offices, remittance centers and subsidiaries. In July 2016, PNB celebrated its Centennial Year with the theme, “A Century of Excellence”, signifying a meaningful milestone for an institution that has served generations of Filipinos here and abroad. For over 100 years, PNB stands proud as an institution of stability and security for many Filipinos. With its century of banking history and experience, PNB is poised to move forward to becoming a more dynamic, innovative and service-focused bank, providing service excellence to Filipinos all over the world. The Bank was established as a government-owned banking institution on July 22, 1916. As an instrument of economic development, the Bank led the industry through the years with its agricultural modernization program and trade finance support for the country’s agricultural exports, pioneering efforts in the Overseas Filipino Workers’ (OFW) remittance business, as well as the introduction of many innovations such as “Bank-on-Wheels”, computerized banking, ATM banking, mobile money changing, domestic traveler’s checks, and electronic filing and payment system for large taxpayers. PNB has the widest overseas office network and one of the largest domestic branch networks among local banks. On February 9, 2013, the Bank concluded its merger with Allied Banking Corporation (ABC) as approved and confirmed by the Board of Directors (BOD) of PNB and ABC on January 22 and January 23, 2013, respectively. The respective shareholders of PNB and ABC, representing at least two-thirds of the outstanding capital stock of both banks, approved the terms of the Plan of Merger of the two banks on March 6, 2012. To support the Bank’s efforts to diversify its funding sources to meet the financial needs of its clients, PNB offered Long-Term Negotiable Certificates of Time Deposit (LTNCDs), which extend the maturity profile of the Bank’s liabilities as part of overall liability management and to raise long-term funds for general corporate purposes. In October 2016, PNB received the approval from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) to issue up to P20.0 billion worth of LTNCDs in tenors of 5.5 to 10 years in multiple tranches over a period of one year. Along this line, PNB launched the initial tranche on December 14, 2016 with an offering of P3.0 billion and this was oversubscribed at P5.38 billion. The said offer has a tenor of 5 years and 6 months and a coupon rate of 3.25%. In 2017, two LTNCD tranches were issued, viz: a) on April 27, 2017, P3.765 billion at 3.75% coupon rate; and b) on October 26, 2017, P6.35 billion at 3.875% coupon rate. The last tranche was oversubscribed at more than double the issue size of P3.0 billion. In October 2018, PNB once again received the approval from BSP to issue up to P20.0 billion worth of LTNCDs. In February 2019, PNB issued the first tranche of 5.5-year LTNCDs totaling P8.2 billion at 5.75% per annum. The original P3.0 billion offering was upsized to meet the 2.7x oversubscription owing to the strong demand from both retail and institutional investors. On October 11, 2019, PNB listed the second tranche of LTNCDs totaling P4.6 billion which was double the announced issue size of P2.0 billion. As part of the Bank’s efforts to diversify its funding sources and support its strategy on safe aggressive growth, PNB also tapped the capital markets. In April 2018, PNB successfully issued in Singapore and Hong Kong its 5-year Fixed Rate Senior Notes worth US$300 million out of its US$1 billion Medium 5 Term Note (MTN) Program. This marked the first time that PNB tapped the international bond market for medium term dollar funding.
