The Debt Securities Program was authorized by a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company dated 23 March 2017.

The Series A Bonds issued on 3 July 2017 and the Initial Offer were covered by a Prospectus and Offer Supplement dated 16 June 2017. A permit to sell the second tranche of the Bonds with an aggregate principal amount of P10,200,000,000 (the “Series B and C Bonds”) was issued on October 11, 2018 by the SEC.

The Series B and Seriec C Bonds issued on October 25, 2018 were covered by a Prospectus dated August 28, 2018. The Offer will consist of the primary offer of an aggregate principal amount of up to P10,000,000,000 with an oversubscription option of up to P2,000,000,000 (the “Oversubscription Option”). In case the Oversubscription Option is partly exercised or not exercised at all during the Offer Period (as defined below), the Third Tranche Bonds under Oversubscription Option that will not be taken up or exercised during the Offer Period will remain under shelf registration and may be issued in tranches within three years from the date of the effectivity of the registration statement (the “Shelf Period”). The Third Tranche Bonds will be issued on [●] (the “Issue Date”) and will be comprised of Series D Bonds.

Interest on the Third Tranche Bonds shall be payable quarterly in arrears on [•], [•], [•], and [•] of each year while the Third Tranche Bonds are outstanding, or the subsequent Banking Day without adjustment if such Interest Payment Date is not a Banking Day. The last Interest Payment Date shall fall on the relevant Maturity Date while the Third Tranche Bonds are outstanding (see “Description of the Offer” – “Interest” on page 59 of this Prospectus). The Third Tranche Bonds shall be redeemed at par (or 100% of the face value) on the Maturity Date, unless the Company exercises its early redemption option (see “Description of the Offer” – “Redemption and Purchase” on page 59 of this Prospectus). Upon issuance, the Third Tranche Bonds shall when issued, constitute direct, unconditional, unsecured and unsubordinated Philippine Peso denominated obligations of the Issuer and shall rank pari passu and ratably without any preference or priority amongst themselves and at least pari passu in priority of payment with all other present and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer, other than (i) obligations 2 preferred by the law, (ii) any obligation incurred by the Issuer pursuant to Section 5.02 (a) of the Trust Agreement or as may be allowed by the Trust Agreement, and (iii) other Indebtedness (as defined herein) or obligations disclosed by the Issuer to the Trustee as of Issue Date. The Third Tranche Bonds shall effectively be subordinated in right of payment to, among others, all of AboitizPower’s secured debts to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt and all of its debt that is evidenced by a public instrument under Article 2244(14) of the Civil Code of the Philippines, unless the Issuer procures a waiver of the preference created by such notarization or equally and ratably extend such preference to the Third Tranche Bonds. (see “Description of the Offer” – “Ranking” on page 59 of this Prospectus). The Third Tranche Bonds have been rated [●], with a [●] outlook by PhilRatings on [●]. Obligations rated [●] are [●]. A rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision, suspension or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating organization. The Third Tranche Bonds are offered to the public at face value through the Joint Lead Underwriters named in this Prospectus with the Philippine Depository & Trust Corp. (PDTC) as the Registrar of the Third Tranche Bonds. The Third Tranche Bonds shall be issued in scripless form in minimum denominations of P50,000 each, and in integral multiples of P10,000 thereafter. The Third Tranche Bonds shall be traded in denominations of P10,000 in the secondary market. AboitizPower intends to cause the listing of the Third Tranche Bonds on a securities exchange licensed with the SEC and has initiated discussions with the Philippine Dealing & Exchange Corporation (PDEx) for this purpose. However, there can be no assurance that such a listing will actually be achieved either before or after the Issue Date or whether such a listing will materially affect the liquidity of the Third Tranche Bonds on the secondary market. Such listing would be subject to the Company’s execution of a listing agreement with PDEx that may require the Company to make certain disclosures, undertakings and payments on an ongoing basis. AboitizPower expects to raise gross proceeds of up to P10,000,000,000 from the primary offer, and up to P2,000,000,000 if the Oversubscription Option is fully exercised. The net proceeds from the Offer is estimated to be P9,877,820,500 from the primary offer of P10,000,000,000 or P11,855,053,000 for an issue size of P12,000,000,000, after fees, commissions, and expenses. Proceeds of the Offer shall be used for: (i) repayment of its short-term loan obligations; (ii) financing of equity infusions; and (iii) general corporate purposes, which are discussed further in the section entitled “Use of Proceeds” on page 47 of this Prospectus. The Joint Issue Managers and Joint Lead Underwriters shall receive an aggregate fee of up to 0.3375% inclusive of GRT on the final aggregate nominal principal amount of the Third Tranche Bonds issued, which is inclusive of underwriting fees and selling commissions to be paid. However, there can be no assurance in respect of: (i) whether AboitizPower would issue the remaining amount of the Bonds at all; (ii) the size or timing of any individual issuance or the total issuance of such Bonds; or (iii) the specific terms and conditions of any such issuance. Any decision by AboitizPower to offer such Bonds will depend on a number of factors at the relevant time, many of which are not within AboitizPower’s control, including but not limited to: prevailing interest rates, the financing requirements of AboitizPower’s business and prospects, market liquidity and the state of the domestic capital market, and the Philippine, regional and global economies in general.
