SEVENTH. That the authorized capital stock of the corporation is FIVE MILLION
PESOS (P5,000,000.00), in lawful money of the Philippines, divided into one million
(P5,000,00.00) shares of the par value of one peso (P 1.00) per share.
(b) Right of First Refusal – In the event any stockholder, including pledges and
holders of any interest in such stock, (hereinafter referred to as the
“Offeror”) desires to transfer or sell any such stock to third parties,
(hereinafter referred to as the “Offered Stock”), the Offeror shall give a right
of first refusal to the Corporation and to all the other stockholders of record
thereof to acquire or purchase the Offered Stock in accordance with the
procedure set forth below.
The Offeror shall transmit to the Secretary of the Corporation by
personal delivery or registered mail a written offer to transfer or sell the
Offered Stock specifying therein the number of shares to be transferred or
sold, the consideration or price per share, and the terms and conditions of
transfer or sale. Within forty-eight (48) hours after receipt of such notice, the
Secretary shall transmit by personal delivery or, in the case of stockholders
residing outside the Philippines, by the most expeditious available mail or
messenger service, a copy of such offer to each stockholder of record at his
address on the books of the Corporation and, at the appropriate time, shall
notify each such stockholder of the expiry date of the Corporation’s Option
Period and of the Stockholders’ Option Period (as these terms are defined
below).
The Corporation shall then have the first option to purchase all (but not
a portion only) of the Offered Stock under the terms of the Offeror’s written
offer. If the Corporation declines of fails to accept or does not purchase all
the Offered Stock within thirty (30) days (the “Corporation’s Option
Period”) from the date of receipt by the Secretary of the written offer of the
Oferror, the Corporation shall be deemed to have refused the same and to
have waived its option to acquire the Offered Stock.
Each stockholder of record of the Corporation shall be entitled, up to
the limit allowed by applicable provision of Philippine law or regulation, to
purchase such proportion of the Offered Stock as the number of shares of
stock which he holds bears to the total number of outstanding stock
(excluding the Offered Stock) of the Corporation, and may, in addition, offer
to purchase any portion of the Offered Stock not taken up by any stockholder
pursuant to the option herein given (the “Unsubscribed Shares”). If the total
number of shares which the other stockholders wish to acquire exceeds the
actual number of Unsubscribed Shares available to be purchased, each such
stockholder offering to purchase Unsubscribed Shares shall be entitled to
purchase such proportion of the actual number of Unsubscribed Shares as the
number of shares of stock which he holds prior to the exercise of his of his
option bears to the actual number of Unsubscribed Shares available to be
purchased. The stockholders’ right of first refusal and right to purchase
additional Unsubscribed Shares provided herein shall be effective for a
period of thirty (30) days (the “Stockholders’ Option Period”) from the date
the Corporation declines the offer, or, from the expiration of the
Corporation’s Option Period, whichever is earlier, as such date is notified to
each stockholder by the Secretary of the Corporation as provided in the
second paragraph of this subparagraph A.2 (b) above, or, in the case of a
stockholder requiring prior governmental or regulatory approval in
connection with the exercise of such rights, such longer period as may be
necessary to obtain such approval.
Any shares of Offered Stock not acquired by the Corporation or the
other stockholders of record within the applicable Option Period may be
transferred or sold by the Offeror to any person at not less than the price and
on the same terms and conditions as those contained in the Offeror’s original
written Offer. If the Offeror shall then be unable to sell any shares of the
Offered Stock at the price and on the terms and conditions specified in the
original offer, and if he should desire to sell at a lower price or under
amended terms and conditions, the Offeror shall re-offer such shares first, to
the Corporation and second, to the other stockholders of the Corporation, in
the manner above prescribed, at such lower price or under such amended
terms and conditions, and any shares not purchased pursuant to such re-offer
within thirty (30) days from the date of receipt by the Corporation, through
the Secretary Corporation, of the notice of re-offer or, in the case of any
stockholder requiring prior governmental or regulatory approval in
connection with the exercise of such right, within such longer period as may
be necessary to obtain such approval, may be sold within one (1) year from
the date of such re-offer at such lower price and upon such altered terms and
conditions.
The provisions of this subparagraph A.2 (b) shall not apply to the
transfer, after the expiry of the redemption period provided in the succeeding
subparagraph A.2 (c) of shares of stock to any pledgee or other holder of a
security interest or to a judgment creditor who has purchased the same at a
foreclosure sale or sale after attachment or an execution of judgment.
Unless the law shall provide for a higher vote, the affirmative vote of
the holders of three-fourths (3/4) of the issued and outstanding capital stock
of the Corporation shall be necessary for each of the following corporate
actions:
Unless the law shall provide a higher number of votes, four (7)
directors (out of a total number of five (8) directors) shall constitute a
quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of directors. In (i) the
instances and transactions mentioned in the immediately preceding
paragraph B, (ii) any declaration of cash dividends and (iii) the issuance of
shares out of the Corporation’s authorized but unis-sued capital stock, no
corporate act shall be deemed to have been validly taken by the Corporation
without the affirmative vote of at least four (4) directors (out of a total
number of five (5) directors) in addition to any other applicable requirement
of law.
