A stockholder may inquire about the status of the dividend payments on his/her shareholdings by sending AboitizPower's stock transfer agent a duly signed written request.

It is most likely that non-receipt of dividends and other correspondences are tagged RTS (Return to Sender) and are currently under custody of the AboitizPower's stock transfer agent.

In case this has already been done, it is recommended that the stock transfer agent be contacted directly by the stockholder to inquire on other possible reasons.

For an individual shareholder who is either a Filipino citizen or alien resident of the Philippines, cash and property dividends received are subject to a final withholding tax rate of 10%.
For a non-resident alien individual engaged in trade or business in the Philippines, cash and property dividends received are subject to a 20% tax on the gross amount. For a non-resident alien individual not engaged in trade or business in the Philippines, cash and property dividends are subject to a 25% tax on the gross amount. This, however, is subject to the applicable preferential tax rates under tax treaties executed between the Philippines and the country of residence or domicile of such non-resident foreign individual. Cash and property dividends received by another domestic corporation or by a resident foreign corporation are not subject to tax while those received by non-resident foreign corporations are subject to tax at the rate of 35%. This rate, however, may be reduced to 15% if the country of domicile of the non-resident foreign corporation allows a credit equivalent to 20% for taxes deemed to have been paid in the Philippines. The foregoing (a) is based on laws in force as of the date of posting of this information (b) is subject to changes in law occurring after such date (c) does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to invest in the shares of the company and (d) does not purport to deal with the tax consequences applicable to all categories of investors, some of which may be subject to special rates. Investors are advised to consult their own tax advisers concerning the tax consequences of their investment in the company's shares.
On Taxation
If the sale is made through the PSE, a resident or non-resident shareholder is subject to a stock transaction tax at the rate of 0.5% of the gross selling price, unless an applicable tax law or treaty exempts such sale from said tax. This tax is required to be collected by the selling stockbroker on behalf of its client. If the sale is made outside the PSE, the resident or non-resident shareholder is subject to a capital gains tax. The applicable tax rates are as follows: 5% on gains not exceeding P100,000 and 10% on gains over P100,000. These tax rates may not be applicable if a treaty exists, which exempts such gains from tax or provides for preferential rates. The transfer of shares of stock is subject to a documentary stamp tax of P0.75 for each P200 par value or a fractional part thereof of the share of stock transferred. The foregoing (a) is based on laws in force as of the date of posting of this information (b) is subject to changes in law occurring after such date (c) does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to invest in the shares of the company and (d) does not purport to deal with the tax consequences applicable to all categories of investors, some of which may be subject to special rates. Investors are advised to consult their own tax advisers concerning the tax consequences of their investment in the company's shares.
The transfer of shares of stock upon the death of an individual shareholder to his heirs by way of succession, whether such shareholder is a citizen of the Philippines or an alien, regardless of residence, is subject to an estate tax at progressive rates, ranging from 5% to 20%, if the net estate is over P200,000. Estate tax, however, shall not be collected in respect of intangible personal property, such as shares of stock: (a) if the decedent at the time of his death was a citizen and resident of a foreign country which at the time of his death did not impose a transfer tax of any character, in respect of intangible personal property of citizens of the Philippines not residing in that foreign country, or (b) if the laws of the foreign country of which the decedent was a citizen and resident at the time of his death allowed a similar exemption from transfer or death taxes of every character or description in respect of intangible personal property owned by citizens of the Philippines not residing in that foreign country. The foregoing (a) is based on laws in force as of the date of posting of this information (b) is subject to changes in law occurring after such date (c) does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to invest in the shares of the company and (d) does not purport to deal with the tax consequences applicable to all categories of investors, some of which may be subject to special rates. Investors are advised to consult their own tax advisers concerning the tax consequences of their investment in the company's shares.
Individual and corporate shareholders, whether or not citizens or residents of the Philippines, who give or donate shares of stock are liable to pay Philippine donors' tax on such transfer of shares, ranging from 2% to 15% of the net gifts during the year exceeding P100,000. Donor's tax, however, shall not be collected in respect of intangible personal property, such as shares of stock: (a) if the donor at the time of the donation was a citizen and resident of a foreign country which at the time of donation did not impose a transfer tax of any character, in respect of intangible personal property of citizens of the Philippines not residing in that foreign country, or (b) if the laws of the foreign country of which the donor was a citizen and resident at the time of donation allowed a similar exemption from transfer of every character or description in respect of intangible personal property owned by citizens of the Philippines not residing in that foreign country. The foregoing (a) is based on laws in force as of the date of posting of this information (b) is subject to changes in law occurring after such date (c) does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to invest in the shares of the company and (d) does not purport to deal with the tax consequences applicable to all categories of investors, some of which may be subject to special rates.
