* Under the General Banking Act of 2000 (GBA), expanded commercial banks (EKBS) are authorized to perform the functions of an
investment house, provided that under SEC Resolution No. 60, Series of 2000, such banks, when engaged in the underwriting of
securities, are required to register with the Commission as an underwriter.
**Although Section 11 of the Basic Rules and Regulations Implementing Presidential Decree No. 129 (Investment Houses Law)
exempts an investment house which is also engaged in the business of a securities broker or dealer from separately registering under
the Securities Regulation Code, Section 11 specifically states that any such investment house is required to comply with the Code and
rules adopted thereunder. Investment Houses registered under the Investment Houses law and EKBs authorized under the GBA, which
engage in broker and/or dealer activities shall be deemed to be registered under Section 28 of the Code. Although EKB’s do not
currently engage in Broker Dealer activities, if they so decide in the future they would be regulated in the same manner as investment
houses.
***Describe these activities in Schedule D. See also item 9 of this Form.
