Clarification of News Report

We write with respect to the attached article entitled "Maynilad penalized for WSI" posted in manilatimes.net on March 1, 2022. In the said article it was reported in part that: "MAYNILAD Water Services, Inc. (Maynilad) has been penalized for its unusual and prolonged water service interruptions (WSI), a government regulatory authority announced yesterday. In its public advisory posted on Twitter, the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System Regulatory Office (MWSS RO) said it has resolved to impose financial penalty on Maynilad, through RO Resolution 2022-02-CA. The penalty was attributable to the failure of Maynilad Putatan Water Treatment Plants (PWTP) in Muntinlupa City to provide service from December 2021 to February 2022. . . . ." Maynilad Water Services, Inc. ("Maynilad") received information that it will be penalized by the MWSS Regulatory Office ("MWSS RO") for service interruptions in the southern part of its concession area, but Maynilad has not yet received formal notice indicating the amount of the penalty that will be imposed. Nevertheless, Maynilad released a statement yesterday that it will abide by the MWSS RO's decision to impose a penalty for the service interruptions, which was brought about by the combined effect of algal blooms and prolonged turbidity in the Laguna Lake, and which hampered the water production in Maynilad's Putatan Water Treatment Plants. Maynilad also announced that its water service in the southern part of its concession area has already been ramping up over the last few days following the improvements in the turbidity of the Laguna Lake and the treatment interventions introduced by Maynilad. Finally, Maynilad emphasized the need to take more aggressive steps to protect the Laguna Lake which provides approximately 8% of Maynilad's raw water supply, and its willingness to continue working closely with all stakeholders of the Laguna Lake to ensure that it will continue to be a viable water source for Metro Manila. We hope to have clarified the quoted news article in the interest of the trading participants and the investing public.
