(B)C. Roles of Stakeholders

(B)C.1 The rights of stakeholders that are established by law or through mutual agreements are to be respected

(B)C.1.1 Does the company adopt an internationally recognized reporting framework for sustainability (i.e. GRI, Integrated Reporting, SASB)?

International <IR> Framework - DRAFT ,IIRC Council Item 3b Meeting of 5 December 2013 “Integrated Reporting <IR> promotes a more cohesive and efficient approach to corporate reporting and aims to improve the quality of information available to providers of financial capital to enable a more efficient and productive allocation of capital. The IIRC’s vision is a world in which integrated thinking is embedded within mainstream business practice in the public and private sectors, facilitated by <IR> as the corporate reporting norm.”

Yes BPI considers the most appropriate way to report non-financial information and ensures that its sustainability reporting provides internal and external stakeholders with the non-financial information needed to understand the context that the Bank operates in today. This sustainability reporting may be within the Bank’s annual report, in a stand-alone sustainability report, through the company website or through integrated reporting. BPI has adopted a globally-recognized standard/framework, G4 Framework by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), for its sustainability reporting. Financial reporting alone no longer gives stakeholders a full and fair understanding of banks. Sustainability reporting provides internal and external stakeholders with the non-financial information needed to understand the context that banks operate in today. In 2014, BPI published a stand-alone sustainability report. In 201 and 2016, the Bank adopted Integrated Reports which can be found in the Annual Reports section of the website. Relevant information on these is disclosed below. Sources: 1. ANNUAL CG REPORT WITH CONSOLIDATED UPDATES FOR 2016, Sec.

(B)E. Responsibilities of the Board

(B)E.1 Board Competencies and Diversity

(B)E.1.1 Does the company have at least one female independent director/commissioner?

ICGN 2.4.1 Skills and experience The board should consist of directors with the requisite range of skills, competence, knowledge, experience and approach, as well as a diversity of perspectives, to set the context for appropriate board behaviours and to enable it to discharge its duties and responsibilities effectively.

Yes Our 2016 board of directors included five women, 33% of the board, including two (2) independent directors. Our 2017 board of directors also includes four women, 27% of the board, including two (2) of whom are also an independent directors. The Bank has a Diversity Policy which discloses the objectives to have diversity on the Board. While the policy does not set a numerical figure on any aspect of diversity, particularly gender diversity, the policy is based on the SEC Code of Corporate Governance (previously the Revised Code of 2009 and now the new Code of Corporate Governance for Publicly-Listed Companies) for which, as the Bank reports and discloses regularly in various publicly-available reports and on the company website, it has always made efforts to increase the number of female directors and/or female independent directors.

(B)E.2 Board Structure

(B)E.2.1 Does the Nominating Committee comprise entirely of independent directors/commissioners?

ICGN 2.4.4 Composition of board committees The members of these key board committees should be solely non-executive directors, and in the case of the audit and remuneration committees, solely independent directors. All members of the nominations committee should be independent from management and at least a majority should be independent from dominant owners.

No

(B)E.2.2 Does the Nominating Committee undertake the process of identifying the quality of directors aligned with the company's strategic directions?

Yes The Nominations Committee ensures that the Board of Directors is made up of individuals of proven integrity and competence, and that each possesses the ability and resolve to effectively oversee the bank in their capacity as Director and member in their respective board committees. This committee also reviews and evaluates the qualifications of all persons nominated to the Board. Details on the process is disclosed in the committee charter.

(B)E.3 Board Appointments and Re-Election

(B)E.3.1 Does the company use professional search firms or other external sources of candidates (such as director databases set up by director or shareholder bodies) when searching for candidates to the board of directors/commissioners?

5) The board or nomination committee has the responsibility to identify potential candidates to meet desired profiles and propose them to shareholders, and/or consider those candidates advanced by shareholders with the right to make nominations. There are increasing calls for open search processes extending to a broad range of people. WORLDBANK PRINCIPLE 6 (VI.I.21) Are boards known to hire professional search firms when proposing candidates to the board?

Yes The Nomination Committee has the prerogative to utilize professional search firms. Many of the directors on the bank’s Board as well as in the Board of Directors of other companies within the Ayala Group are listed on director databases of third-parties such as the Institute of Corporate Directors. Bank directors are also reported to and listed in the regulator’s database (Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas). Given the stringent requirements of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas for bank directors, while banks can utilize professional search firms, there is very limited opportunity to do so. Sources: 1.

(B)E.4 Board Appointments and Re-Election

(B)E.4.1 Do independent non-executive directors/commissioners make up more than 50% of the board of directors/commissioners for a company with independent chairman?

OECD Principle VI (E) (1) Boards should consider assigning a sufficient number of non-executive board members capable of exercising independent judgement to tasks where there is a potential for conflict of interest.

No Board Composition and Independence. While our chairman is a non-executive director but not independent, BPI's board operates with significant independence from its management. Our 2016 as well as our 2017 board has seven directors (comprising 47%) classified as independent or having no interest or relationship with BPI at time of election, appointment, or re-election. Fourteen of the 15-member board, are non-executive directors of the bank who are not part of the day-to-day management of banking operations. Currently, the one executive director is the bank's President and CEO. Historically, our Chairman has also been a non-executive director and is separately appointed from our President and CEO. The presence of a significant number of independent directors on our 2016 and 2017 Boards, seven comprising almost 50%, is key to fairness and integrity, allowing the Board to strike a balance between public, corporate and all stakeholder interests. Currently, our By-Laws state that the Bank shall conform to the requirement to have such number of Independent Directors as may be required by law. Our Manual of Corporate Governance also states that a sufficient number of qualified non-executive members shall be elected to promote the independence of the board. The Manual further states that as a publicly-listed company, BPI shall also conform to the legal requirement to have at least twenty percent (20%) but not less than two (2) members of the board of directors who shall be independent directors. Relevant information on the rights of shareholders is disclosed in the reports below.

(B)E.6 Board Performance

(B)E.6.1 Does the company have a separate level Risk Committee?

International Financial Corporation’s Global Corporate Governance Forum Publication: When Do Companies Need a Board-level Risk Management Committee?(Volume 31, pp.11, March 2013) Benefits of a Board Level Risk Committee: 1. elevate risk oversight to the highest level in the company; 2. strengthen the quality of risk management; 3. inculcate a risk culture and risk-management environment to mitigate and manage risks effectively across the organization; 4. establish a platform for continuous assessment of risks in light of the changing internal and external environments; 5. improve communication among the board, management, and other stakeholders about risk management; and 6. demonstrate to internal and external stakeholders the company’s commitment to risk management

Yes The Board, thru the Risk Management Committee, is able to review the bank’s material controls and risk management systems. The Board carries out its risk management function through its Risk Management Committee (RMC), which is tasked with nurturing a culture of risk management across the enterprise, proposing guidelines and regularly reviewing risk management structures, metrics, limits, and issues across the BPI Group, in order to meet and comply with regulatory and international standards on risk measurement and management. The committee also supports technology and training for key personnel in risk management. BPI’s Risk Management Office is headed by a Chief Risk Officer. The CRO is ultimately responsible for formulating risk management policies and methodologies in alignment with the strategy of the bank, ensuring that risks are rationally undertaken and within the bank’s risk appetite, as well as commensurate to maximize returns on capital. The CRO and the RMO facilitate risk management learning programs and promote best practices on an enterprise-wide basis. The Bank’s risk framework conforms not only to its own rigorous standards, but also to Bangko Sentral directives promoting an effective Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process. Sources: 1.
