W. President's Report
The Chairman of the Meeting then gave the floor to the President of the Bank, Mr. Nestor V. Tan, for
the latter's report on the Corporation's results of operations for 2010.
The President reported on the significant business transactions undertaken by Management and the
financial targets and achievements for the fiscal year 2010, as well as prospects for 201 1, which report was
essentially reflected in the 2010 Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements for 2010 earlier distributed

The Chairman of the Meeting then opened the floor to the stoclcholders for questions on the
President's Report. The President addressed the questions and points for clarification raised by some
stockholders.
Mr. Luisito Reyes, stockholder, inquired if there would be a declaration of cash dividends for this
year. The Chairperson replied in the affirmative and said that this will be taken up at the later part of the
meeting.
Another stockholder asked about BDO Unibank's plans in acquiring Asiatrust Bank. The President
replied in the negative, and that there were no developments on the subject. The same stockholder asked if
BDO Unibank is planning on having on-line market trading. The Presider-t responded that Management is
looking at expanding so that more clients would be reached through internet banking. Thereafter, the
stockholder stated that he is investing in foreclosed properties and noted tha: BDO Unibank would offer only
up to 5-year term when one buys a foreclosed property and that the Bank would require 30% down payment.
He then recommended that Management take a look at reducing the down payment and making the terins
flexible up to 15 years. The President replied that Management actually evaluates it on a case to case basis.
In line with BDO Securities, a stockholder asked how the Bank would justify such expansion
compared to other consumer business and how much growth the brokerage generate. Moreover, the
stockholder asked what the 2010 would be in terms of future book value per share trend of BDO. The
President replied that the securities business is something that the Bank is trying to develop so that it could
service its existing consumer clients as the Bank has a huge client base in the branch network as well as in the
Private Bank. Management is strategizing on building products for this segment and the expansion of securities
is not going after a new market, but an improvement of the services to existing client base. On the book value!
the President stated that the book value is about Php 30.00 per share as of end 2010.
Mr. Eduardo Lucero, stockholder, congratulated the Managemenr and staff of the Bank for its
outstanding performance. He remarked that he has been a client for a long t i ne and is quite satisfied with the
services of the Bank. He likewise mentioned that the lines at branches are too long which is good because it
meant that a lot of clients come in, but requested Management to find a way for this to be resolved. The
President said that Management is cognizant of the queue and in most instances the limitations have to do with
space and managing peaks. Subsequently, the President took note of Mr. Lucero's comments and suggestions.
Another stockholder recommended for the consideration of Management the waiver of the
membership and annual fee for stockholders of the Bank who are also BDO cardholders especially BDO Visa.
He also asked how much dividends would be declared. The Chairperson tool< note of the stockholder's
comments and reiterated that dividends would be declared later at the meeting.
Mrs. Lourdes Marasigan, stockholder, took the floor and commented that the body ask for the
blessings of the Lord who established the Bank and to let Jesus enter into the hearts of all those present. She
likewise asked God to bless the Bank and all those present. The Chairperson noted Mrs. Marasigan's
