Clarification of News Report

We write in reply to the Exchange's request for confirmation on the news article entitled "ABS-CBN wins lawsuit vs pirate websites" posted in philSTAR.com on November 19, 2021. The article reported in part that: "MANILA, Philippines - ABS-CBN Corp. has won a $21-million lawsuit against almost two dozen pirate website operators. ABS-CBN said a court in the southern district of Florida entered a default judgment in favor of the company and against 21 pirate site operators, which are streaming portals offering free access to ABS-CBN content in the US and abroad. Due to the defendants' failure to appear in court or participate in the lawsuit, ABS-CBN said the court approved its request for $1 million in trademark damages against each of the site operators. In addition, six of the defendants were ordered to pay between $30,000 and $90,000 in damages for copyright infringement. Further, thefilipinochannel.su was ordered to pay another $10,000 in cybersquatting damages for the TV company's domain name, which is confusingly similar to one of ABS-CBN's registered trademarks. The order also includes a provision that requires advertising service providers to turn over any restrained revenue generated by the pirate websites. . . . . " ABS-CBN confirms that the matter quoted in the Philstar.com article is consistent with the press release the company issued on the same date. While the company welcomes the judgment award, the company would also wish to clarify that the actual collection of the judgment award remains subject to the willingness and/or ability of the defendants to make payments, if at all. There is no further information to be disclosed at this time.
