NOTICE

TO : ALL CONCERNED

SUBJECT : RESUMPTION OF OPERATIONS IN THE SEC MAIN OFFICE


STARTING 1 JULY 2020 AND ADJUSTMENT OF DEADLINES
FOR ANNUAL REPORTS

DATE : 30 JUNE 2020

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is glad to announce that the
confirmatory Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) tests
performed on the four personnel, who initially tested positive in a rapid antibody testing
for COVID-19 at its Main Office, turned in negative results.

In this light, the SEC Main Office located in Secretariat Building, Philippine
International Convention Center (PICC) Complex, Roxas Boulevard, Pasay City shall
reopen on Wednesday, 1 July 2020.

The Commission, however, shall continue operating at a limited capacity in view


of the community quarantine and other health measures being implemented amid the
COVID-19 pandemic.

The Commission shall resume accepting Annual Financial Statements (AFS)


and the General Information Sheet (GIS) primarily through the SEC Express
Nationwide Submission (SENS) facility, which allows for the submission of reports
through courier or registered mail.

To further avoid crowding at the SEC Main Office and minimize the exposure
of its workforce and stakeholders alike to the COVID-19, the Commission hereby
adjusts the deadlines and encourages corporations to take advantage of the
alternative modes of filing for reports and other documents, as follows:

1) Adjusted Deadlines

a) Annual Financial Statement

Upon resumption of work at the SEC Main Office, corporations shall


strictly follow the filing schedule, based on their SEC registration or
