DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE 14. The following documents are attached and incorporated by reference: None. 2 PART I – BUSINESS AND GENERAL INFORMATION Item 1. Business San Miguel Corporation (SMC or the Parent Company), together with its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the Group), is the largest publicly listed food, beverage and packaging company in Southeast Asia. Established in 1890 as a single-product brewery, the Group today has over 100 facilities in the Philippines, Southeast Asia and China. In 2009, the Group accounts for about 2.00% of the country’s gross national product and 2.27% of the country’s gross domestic product. The Group’s extensive product portfolio includes beer, hard liquor and non-carbonated non-alcoholic beverages, processed and packaged food products, meat, poultry, flour, dairy products and a number of packaging products. The Group’s flagship product, San Miguel Beer, is among the world's largest selling beers and among the top brands in Southeast Asia. From its original cerveza, the Group now owns a wide range of popular beverage brands and products that extends from beer to hard liquor, bottled water, powdered juice and juice drinks. The Group's food operations includes the production and marketing of fresh, ready-to- cook and processed chicken, fresh pork and beef and processed meats, milk, butter, cheese, margarine, ice cream, flour products, coffee, cooking oil and animal and aquatic feeds. Through the partnerships it has forged with major international companies, the Group has gained access to the latest technologies and expertise, thereby enhancing the Group’s status as a world-class organization. The Parent Company has strategic partnerships with international companies, among them Nihon Yamamura Glass Company, Ltd. (NYG), Hormel Foods International Corporation (HFIC) of the United States, Super Coffee Corporation Pte Ltd (SCCPL) of Singapore and Kirin Holdings Company, Limited (Kirin), one of the largest beer manufacturing company in Japan. Following the shareholders’ approval it has obtained in 2007, SMC has since diversified into such industries as power, energy, banking, telecommunications, mining and infrastructure. The Group is one of the nation’s biggest private employers with an estimated 14,600 employees in 2009. In addition, the Group contributes to the growth of downstream industries and sustains a network of hundreds of third party suppliers. Major developments in the Group are discussed in Management’s Discussion and Analyses of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations, attached herein as Annex “F”, and in Notes 6, 10, 37 and 38 of the Audited Consolidated Financial statements, attached herein as Annex “D”. CORE BUSINESSES Beverages The Beverages Group of SMC is divided into alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. For the alcoholic beverages, the operations of the Beverages Group are further classified into beer and hard liquor. 3 a. Beer - Domestic The beer and malt-based beverages operations of SMC in the Philippines are now carried out by San Miguel Brewery Inc. (SMB), a subsidiary. In May 2009, SMC completed the sale of its approximately 43.2499% stake in SMB to Kirin. Prior to the creation of SMB, all of SMC’s beer operations were under the San Miguel Beer Division, a business unit of SMC. Pursuant to the authority given by shareholders in 2007, SMC transferred its domestic Philippine beer business’ assets to SMB in exchange for additional shares in SMB, then a wholly-owned subsidiary of SMC effective October 1, 2007. SMB undertook an initial public offering of its shares (IPO) in May 2008. In the same IPO, common shares owned by SMC amounting to approximately 5% of the outstanding capital stock of SMB, were offered by way of secondary offering. SMC likewise transferred to SMB certain Philippine beer and malt-based beverage trademarks, know-how and other intellectual rights through its sale of all its interests in Iconic Beverages, Inc. (IBI). The sale was completed in April 2009. SMC’s BOD also approved the transfer to SMB of certain parcels of land on which the production and selling facilities of SMB are located, through the sale of its interests in Brewery Properties, Inc. (BPI). The sale of SMC’s shares in BPI has yet to be implemented pending certain regulatory requirements. SMB offered and issued fixed-rate Peso denominated bonds to the public in early April 2009 to finance the acquisition of SMC’s interests. SMB has five breweries in the Philippines strategically located in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. Today, SMB offers a portfolio of ten strong and popular brands: Pale Pilsen, Red Horse, San Mig Light, Super Dry, Cerveza Negra, San Mig Strong Ice, Gold Eagle, San Miguel Premium All-Malt, Oktoberfest Brew and Cali. b. Beer – International The international beer group operations are supervised by San Miguel Brewing International Limited (SMBIL), a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. In late January 2010, SMB completed the purchase of all the shares of San Miguel Holdings Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of SMC, in SMBIL, comprising 100% of the issued and outstanding capital of SMBIL. With the purchase, SMBIL became a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of SMB. The international beer group operates 1 brewery each in Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand and Hong Kong and 2 breweries in China (Shunde and Baoding). Joint-venture operations, licensing and distributorship agreements have been forged with respected establishments and major global brewers offshore through SMBIL’s subsidiaries, particularly in China, Hong Kong and Indonesia through the years. These alliances have produced brands such as Guang’s Pineapple Beer, Dragon, Valor, Blue Star and Double Happiness in China; and Anker Bir, Anker Stout, and Carlsberg in Indonesia and enabled the distribution of InBev brands in Hong Kong. SMBIL exports beer to more than 40 markets (including Taiwan, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Malaysia, and the United States of America). c. Hard Liquor Apart from beer, the Group also produces hard liquor through its majority-owned subsidiary, Ginebra San Miguel, Inc. (GSMI). GSMI is not only the leader in the domestic hard liquor market, with products such as Ginebra San Miguel, Vino Kulafu, Añejo Rum, Gran Matador Brandy and Erg Alcotonic, but also the world’s largest gin producer by volume. 4 GSMI was formed on July 10, 1987 as the legal entity for the acquisition by SMC of the production assets of La Tondeña Distillers, Inc. that had been in operation since 1902. Today, GSMI operates three liquor bottling plants, which are located in the following areas: (1) Mandaue City, Cebu; (2) Sta. Barbara, Pangasinan; and (3) Cabuyao, Laguna. GSMI also utilizes external toll-manufacturers to produce liquor products in Pampanga, Laguna and Lucena, Quezon.

Areza-Ubaldo, Maria Buena B., Rillo, Erlinda P., Cueto, Cristeta A.. Philippine Journal of Science, 2005, 132(1):1-11 The improved basal medium for coconut embryo culture was verified for the mass propagation of Makapuno seedlings. Results confirmed earlier findings that coconut zygotic embryos develop satisfactorily in the improved embryo culture medium. This medium consists of Eeuwens (Y3) (1976) and various additives. The entire cycle to produce one embryo cultured makapuno seedling costs P265.45 (as of Feb 2002) compared with the original PCA-Albay Research Center protocol (ARC) (P301.84). This improved embryo culture technology is now adapted to mass produce Makapuno seedlings nationwide.

    Université de Montréal The Emergence of Global Agri-Food Corporations in Southeast Asia Capitalism: A Comparative Analysis of Two Companies in Thailand and in the Philippines by Sonia li Trottier 1019944 Faculty of Arts and Science Essay presented as a partial requirement of Individualized Master in Environment and Sustainable Development April 2018 © Sonia li Trottier, 2018 Résumé Cet essai de maîtrise explore les différentes stratégies utilisées par les conglomérats agro- alimentaires en Asie du Sud-Est pour se développer dans la région et au niveau mondial. Ce sujet est particulièrement pertinent étant donné l’importance des industries agro-alimentaires comme acteurs ayant un impact sur l’environnement, mais aussi dû à l’importante montée économique de l’Asie du Sud-Est. L’étude de cas de deux importantes corporations agro-alimentaires, une en Thaïlande et l’autre aux Philippines, a été choisie comme approche comparative. Avec une perspective axée sur le capitalisme du sud-est asiatique et un accent sur la diaspora chinoise, nous avançons que ces deux corporations agro-alimentaires ont utilisé trois stratégies pour développer leur entreprise au niveau national, régional et international. Ces trois stratégies sont culturelle (valeurs communes, connections familiales et réseau diasporique), politique (utilisation et capitalisation des liens privilégiés avec les agences étatiques et acteurs politiques clés) et économique (un modèle d’affaires unique fondée sur une intégration verticale étendue). Cet essai suggère que les corporations agro-alimentaires en Asie du Sud-Est ont développé une façon de «faire des affaires» qui est particulière et cela leur a permis de devenir d’importants joueurs dans l’industrie agro-alimentaire.

Están incluidos en esta categoría los panes, galletas y demás productos que contengan trigo, cebada y los otros cereales especificados en la Torá. Adicionalmente la Torá nos encomienda no tener el jametz en nuestra po- sesión durante Pésaj. Si hace algunos años era muy simple saber qué producto contiene jametz y cuál no, con el desarrollo y los avances de los últimos años de la industria Introducción alimenticia, y con el uso de cada vez más ingredientes en la elaboración de productos para el consumo humano, se requiere de un gran conocimien- to de procesos e ingredientes para poder garantizar que no contienen jametz, incluso en ocasiones teniendo que visitar e inspeccionar la planta de producción para poder asegurar al consumidor Kosher que el producto que llega a su mesa durante Pésaj es 100% libre de jametz. Por ello en los últimos años el Comité de Kashrut se ha esforzado en rea- lizar las inspecciones e investigaciones necesarias, e incluso producciones especiales cuando el caso lo amerita, para así poder ofrecer a nuestra Comunidad una gama completa de productos para Pésaj, desarrollándose así la tradicional venta anual de Pésaj que se realiza en el Templo Maguén David, así como en el Centro Maguén David.

His enthusiasm for the field is unmatched. Der var intet valg, kun fremad, ordren ville lyde: døden eller Grønlands vestkyst. Secondly, I would like to thank Jan Erik Rekdal for having co-supervised the project and for having introduced me to the fascinating field of Irish philology and to Conamara. I would like to thank Pádraic Moran for valuable help with the evaluation of my work this spring and for useful feedback also during the conference on the dating of Old Norse and Celtic texts here in Oslo and on my visit to the National University of Ireland Galway last autumn. A number of improvements to the text and to the argumentation are due to his criticism. The community at NUI Galway has been very welcoming and I would like to show my gratitude to Michael Clarke and Clodagh Downey for accommodating us during our trip. Clarke also provided me with profitable feedback during the initial part of my work and has been a steady source of inspiration at conferences and workshops both in Ireland and in Norway.

  • Bg Philequity Corner (December 27, 2010) by Valentino Sy Christmas Ham, Queso De Bola and San Miguel Beer to Most Filipinos
    Bg Philequity Corner (December 27, 2010) By Valentino Sy Christmas Ham, Queso de bola and San Miguel Beer To most Filipinos, Christmas is the highlight of the year. It is the time for Christmas celebrations, office parties and get-togethers with families and friends. It is the time for Noche Buena during Christmas Eve. Of course, Christmas would be incomplete without the traditional glazed ham and quezo de bola served on the Noche Buena table. And also buckets of beers, wine and other drinks to make the party complete. And when you talk about celebrations, no brand is more identified with the “Filipino Christmas” than San Miguel Corporation (SMC). SMC holds in its portfolio some of the most prominent brands associated with the Filipino Christmas. Among them is Purefoods Fiesta Ham (aka “the star of the Noche Buena”) and Magnolia Queso de Bola – which have become traditional gifts that one receives or gives away during Christmas. And what better way to celebrate the season with your family and closest friends than over bottles of San Miguel Beer. “Iba (na) ang may pinagsamahan.” SMC & subsidiaries outperform the market The anticipation of stronger sales for SMC and its subsidiaries this holiday season is one reason cited why their stock prices are going up. With the domestic economy fully recovered from the 2008 global crisis and now expanding at its fastest pace in decades, investors are expecting that consumers will be buying more hams, queso de bolas, beer and other SMC products this Christmas. But it is more than that. Another reason for the stock’s outperformance is SMC’s transition from being just a food and beverage giant towards a fully diversified conglomerate with investments in high growth sectors like power generation and distribution, oil refinery and retail, mining, telecommunications and infrastructure.
