11. Item 4 (Resignation and Election of Officer)

We disclose the retirement of Mr. Napoleon “Polly” Nazareno as President and CEO of PLDT and Smart Communications, Inc, (“Smart”) effective 31^st December 2015, and his subsequent appointment as Strategic Advisor to the PLDT Group. Mr. Nazareno was due for mandatory retirement in 2014 but was requested by the Board of Directors of PLDT to stay on for another year so that he could launch the Group’s digital transformation program and work on a succession plan. Mr. Nazareno will remain a director of PLDT until a replacement shall have been appointed. He will remain as non-Executive Director of First Pacific Company Limited and a member of the Board of Directors of Rocket Internet.

Under his leadership, PLDT and Smart achieved unprecedented success in becoming the country’s leading telecommunications companies. He led the transformation of the landline business from an overwhelmingly voice-driven service to a broadband data-powered business. On the wireless side, he led Smart’s successful climb from third player to market leader, as far back as 2006, a position that the company maintains to this day. He was also instrumental in restructuring Piltel’s debts in 2001, the largest debt restructuring in the country that was done on a consensual basis. He oversaw the integration of both Piltel and Digitel with Smart, ensuring that the expanded organization sustained its position as the foremost wireless service provider.

We also disclose that Mr. Manuel V Pangilinan, present Chairman of the Boards of PLDT and Smart, shall assume the position of President and CEO. In his 12 years as Chairman, Mr. Pangilinan has played an active role in the companies’ strategic goal setting and operations. With the guidance of the Board’s Governance and Nominations Committee (GNC), Mr. Pangilinan will assume and manage the search, through the GNC, for a new President and CEO of PLDT – a process initiated by Mr. Nazareno in 2014.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Regulation Code, PLDT has duly caused this Report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
