    SEC MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO.

    _17_
    SERIES OF 2020

    TO: ALL CONCERNED CORPORATIONS

    SUBJECT: EXTENSION OF THE DEADLINE FOR THE SUBMISSION OF 2020


    ANNUAL REPORTS AND/OR AUDITED FINANCIAL
    STATEMENTS OF COMPANIES WITH FISCAL YEAR ENDING 31
    JANUARY 2020 TO 30 APRIL 2020, INCLUDING THE
    APPLICABLE QUARTERLY REPORTS

    As the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) continues to spread globally and is


    causing serious business and economic disruptions, the extent and duration of the
    effect on business remains unclear. The Commission recognizes the degree of
    difficulty in the preparation of the financial statements and in the completion of
    statutory audits brought about by the challenges in the application of certain
    accounting standards and in the execution of statutory audits of the affected
    companies within the first and second quarters of the year.

    In view of the foregoing and in line with the Office of the President’s declaration of
    state of public health emergency (Proclamation No. 922, dated 08 March 2020) and
    the Republic Act No.11469 Section 4(z), the Commission applies measures to ease
    the regulatory burden on the business sector. Therefore, pursuant to the regulatory
    power of the Commission under Section 5.1(g) of the Securities Regulation Code
    (SRC) and Section 179(o) of the Revised Corporation Code, the Commission grants
    extension of the deadlines for the submission of the following reports of
    companies with fiscal years ending 31 January 2020 to 31 March 2020, for a
    period of 60 calendar days from the regular filing deadlines; while for the
    companies with fiscal year ending 30 April 2020, an extension of the deadline
    for the submission of the following reports is for a period of 45 calendar days
    from the regular filing deadline:

    i. Annual Reports (SEC Form 17-A) and Audited Financial Statements (AFS)
    of publicly-listed companies (PLC);

    ii. Annual Reports and AFS of issuers of registered securities (other than
    publicly-listed companies); and

    Published:
    Philippine Daily Inquirer, May 15, 2020
    Business World, May 15, 2020
    iii. AFS of all other companies other than items (i) and (ii) above.

    Likewise, the deadline for the submission of the Quarterly Reports (SEC 17-Q) for
    the first quarter of the covered companies under this Memorandum Circular, is
    hereby extended for a period of 45 calendar days from the regular filing
    deadlines.

    The extension of filing period shall automatically be applied without the need for a
    request from the covered companies.

    The illustrative examples of the extended filing deadlines are indicated in Annex "A"
    of this Memorandum Circular.

    For PLC and issuers of registered securities under the supervision of the Market and
    Securities Regulation Department, the concerned companies that may want to avail
    the extended period for filing of the SEC Form 17-A and SEC Form 17-Q Reports
    pursuant to this Memorandum Circular shall file the special disclosure form SEC
    Form 17-LC. The SEC Form 17-LC shall be filed not later than five (5) calendar
    days before the regular filing deadline.

    PLC shall continuously observe the disclosure obligations under the SRC and the
    Philippine Stock Exchange Consolidated Listing and Disclosure Rules. This means
    that all material information, whether price-sensitive or trade sensitive, must be
    disclosed on a timely basis. Where the company’s operations are materially affected
    by the COVID-19 outbreak, disclosure on the financial impact or any other material
    aspects should be made immediately.

    Meanwhile, covered companies are encouraged to file their reports before the
    extended deadline of submission as allowed under this Memorandum Circular.

    The Commission shall continue to assess the development or impact of COVID-19 in


    the preparation of financial statements and in the completion of statutory audits of
    companies and may issue appropriate rules and regulations to address the concerns
    that may further arise.

    This Memorandum Circular shall be published in two (2) newspapers of general


    circulation.

    Issued this _7_ May 2020 at Pasay City, Philippines.
