Section 4.4 of the Revised Disclosure Rules

Subject of the Disclosure

Disposition of 48,062,500 shares in First Oceanic Property Management, Inc. ("FOPM")

Background/Description of the Disclosure

On 25 March 2021, Suntrust Home Developers, Inc. ("SUN") and Asian E-Commerce, Inc. ("AEI") entered into an agreement (the "SP Agreement") for the sale of 48,062,500 common shares with par value of PHP1.0 each ("Sale Shares") in First Oceanic Property Management, Inc. ("FOPM"), representing approximately 24.27% of the existing issued share capital of FOPM (the "Disposal").

Date of Approval by Board of Directors

Mar 25, 2021

Rationale for the transaction including the benefits which are expected to be accrued to the Issuer as a result of the transaction

SUN was appointed as the sole and exclusive service provider of the operation and management services for the 5-star hotel and casino complex erected or to be erected at the three parcels of land located at Manila Bayshore Integrated City in Paranaque City, the Philippines. Given the principal business of the FOPM and its subsidiary, CityLink Coach Services, Inc. ("CityLink") (collectively, the "FOPM Group") is entirely unrelated to the casino and entertainment market of the Philippines, the Disposal allows SUN to dispose of its non-core business and focus and deploy its resources to its principal businesses.
