CORPORATE PROFILE

 History
Considered the largest toll road developer and operator in the Philippines – in terms of
vehicle traffic volume, revenue levels, asset base – and in terms of combined length of
expressways in kilometers.

They are a toll road company with three major long-term concessions in the country –
with three new concessions under construction awarded to us. They broke barriers and ventured
to the fast-growing Visayas region, seen as a beginning to creating and building more toll roads
in high-growth areas outside of Luzon. They are the first Philippine tollroad company that now
has significant stakes in three major infrastructure companies in three progressive countries in
the ASEAN region.

They are leading other industry players in all financial aspects, with a quarter of a billion
dollars in revenues based on the latest 2017 figures. Since 2008, their core income has grown by
400%. They hold three operating long-term concessions in the Philippines – namely: the North
Luzon Expressway (NLEX), Subic Clark Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX), and the Cavite
Expressway (CAVITEX). They hold three more concessions to build, operate and maintain –
namely the Cavite Laguna Expressway (CALAEX), the Cebu Cordova Link Expressway
(CCLEX), and the NLEX Connector.

On the average, they handle around one million vehicles per day—and still counting.
Thanks to an increasing number of travellers who have been encouraged to make journeys more
regularly because of high quality roads from the cities to the countryside, and vice versa.
Notably, they have a significant stake in three major infrastructure companies in the
ASEAN Region: A 79.9% share in PT Nusantara Infrastructure of Indonesia; a 44.90% share in
CII Bridges & Roads of Vietnam; and a 29.50% share in Don Muang Tollway Public Company
Limited of Thailand.

developed experience and expertise in building tollroad infrastructure and managing tollways

What is Corporate governance?


Simply, governance is about oversight of organizational processes and practices with
independence and accountability.
When applied to business, it is referred to as Corporate Governance. Corporate
governance, then, is a set of rules that directs the relationships and practices of everyone in a
company and in the community in which it does business. These rules ensure that honest
decision making and transparent and accountable practices are maintained by the company and
all its personnel.
Good corporate governance is a requisite to a good listed company. Companies who turn
to outside sources of capital need to demonstrate sound governance to investors and lenders.

Why is Corporate governance important?
