ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER.

 

This Statement amends, restates and/or supplements the Statement on Schedule 13D dated November 23, 1998 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on behalf of the Reporting Persons (as defined herein), as amended by Amendment Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 thereto (collectively, the “Schedule 13D”), relating to the shares of Common Capital Stock, par value five Philippine Pesos per share (the “Common Shares”), of Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (“PLDT”) and the American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) evidenced by American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), each representing one Common Share and issued by Citibank, N.A., as depositary, pursuant to the Common Stock Deposit Agreement dated October 19, 1994 between Citibank, N.A., as Depositary, and the Holders of American Depositary Receipts evidencing American Depositary Shares representing Common Capital Stock of PLDT. Effective February 10, 2003, PLDT appointed JPMorgan Chase Bank as successor depositary of PLDT’s ADRs. The facility was established in accordance with a Common Stock Deposit Agreement dated October 19, 1994, as amended on February 10, 2003, between JPMorgan Chase Bank and the holders of ADRs. PLDT is incorporated in the Republic of the Philippines (“The Philippines”) and has its principal executive offices at Ramon Cojuangco Building, Makati Avenue, Makati City, Metro Manila, The Philippines. Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

 

ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSOLIDATION.

 

As described in Item 5, SEI purchased 400,400 ADSs from January 13, 2006 to January 27, 2006 using funds from intercompany loans from First Pacific.

 

The Reporting Persons may in the future decide to acquire beneficial ownership of additional Common Shares and/or ADSs. The Reporting Persons have not arranged any specific funding sources for any such acquisitions, and anticipate that, if they were to make such acquisitions, they would rely upon internal resources.

 

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

 

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented to add the following at the end thereof:

 

“On January 31, 2006, First Pacific, Metro Pacific Corporation (“MPC”), Metro Asia Link Holdings, Inc., MPR, Larouge, MPAH (together the “First Pacific Parties”), PLDT, NTT Communications Corporation (“NTT”) and NTT DoCoMo, Inc. (“DoCoMo”) entered into the Co-Operation Agreement (the “Co-Operation Agreement”) to grant DoCoMo certain benefits and to amend the Shareholders Agreement dated March 24, 2000 between the First Pacific Parties, NTT and NTT Communications Capital (UK) Limited (“NTT-UK”) (the “Shareholders Agreement”) and the Stock Purchase and Strategic Investment Agreement dated September 28, 1999 between PLDT, First Pacific, MPC, Metro Asia Link Holdings, Inc., MPR and NTT (as amended by the First Amendment dated March 8, 2000 filed as Exhibit 28 to Amendment No. 5 and by the Second Amendment dated March 24, 2000 filed as Exhibit 29 to Amendment No. 5 ) (the “Strategic Agreement”) in connection with DoCoMo’s proposed acquisition of the Common Shares from NTT. Copies of the Strategic Agreement, its First Amendment and Second Amendment and the Shareholders Agreement have been filed as Exhibit 25 to Amendment No. 4 and Exhibits 28, 29 and 30 to Amendment No. 5 to the Schedule 13D, respectively. A copy of the Co-Operation Agreement is filed as Exhibit 52 to this Amendment No. 12. Any description contained in this Amendment No. 12 relating to the Shareholders Agreement, the Strategic Agreement or the Co-Operation Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Shareholders Agreement filed as Exhibit 30 to Amendment No. 5, the Strategic Agreement filed as Exhibit 25 to Amendment No. 4, the First Amendment to the Strategic Agreement dated March 8, 2000 filed as Exhibit 28 to Amendment No. 5, the Second Amendment to the Strategic Agreement dated March 24, 2000 filed as Exhibit 29 to Amendment No. 5 and the Co-Operation Agreement filed as Exhibit 52 to this Amendment No. 12.”

1. Provisions of the Co-Operation Agreement Effective on the Date of the Co-Operation Agreement

 

(a) Permitted Transfer of the Common Shares

 

Any transfer of the Common Shares from NTT to DoCoMo (including the initial transfer of Common Shares from NTT to DoCoMo to which the Co-Operation Agreement is conditional) will be deemed to be a transfer to a Permitted Transferee (as defined in the Shareholders Agreement), and will not trigger First Pacific’s right of first offer, or result in default or constitute ground for termination of the Shareholders Agreement or the Strategic Agreement.

 

DoCoMo and NTT have agreed that all the Common Shares held by DoCoMo and NTT as a result of the Transfer (as defined in the Shareholders Agreement) shall be subject to the covenants of the Shareholders Agreement and Strategic Agreement, as amended by the Co-Operation Agreement, that apply to NTT (including without limitation, First Pacific’s right of first offer on disposal) as if DoCoMo were NTT and a party to such agreements.

 

(b) Alliance

 

PLDT will, to the extent of the power conferred by its direct or indirect shareholding in SMART, procure that SMART will not enter into: any contract, understanding or arrangement with any Person (as defined in the Strategic Agreement) (and its Affiliates (as defined in the Strategic Agreement)) carrying on a Competing Business (as defined in the Strategic Agreement) in Japan; or any material contract, understanding or arrangement with any Person (and its Affiliates) carrying on a Competing Business in the territories other than in Japan, relating to preferred roaming or the lowest inter operator tariff with any Person carrying on a Competing Business in Japan and its Affiliates for a period of six months from the date of the Co-Operation Agreement, without the prior written consent of DoCoMo.

 

2. Provisions of the Co-Operation Agreement Effective after the Effective Date (as defined in the Co-Operation Agreement)

 

The remainder of the commercial provisions of the Co-Operation Agreement become effective only upon the Transfer by NTT to DoCoMo of full legal and beneficial title to Common Shares held as at the date of the Co-Operation Agreement by NTT amounting to not less than 12,633,486 Common Shares.

 

(a) Lock-up

 

The Co-Operation Agreement provides that prior to and including the third anniversary of the Effective Date, DoCoMo shall not without the prior written consent of the First Pacific Parties, and the First Pacific Parties shall not without the prior written consent of DoCoMo, Transfer, or create or permit to exist any Encumbrance (as defined in the Shareholders Agreement) on any of their respective Common Shares other than an Existing Encumbrance (as defined in the Co-Operation Agreement) or Transfer as permitted under the Shareholders Agreement, subject to certain provisos set out in the Co-Operation Agreement whereby the lock-up will cease to apply.

 

(b) Restriction on Share Acquisitions

 

Each of NTT and DoCoMo has agreed and warranted to each of the First Pacific Parties that it shall not, and shall procure that its respective representatives, advisers, and Subsidiaries (as defined in the Shareholders Agreement) and Affiliates and their respective representatives and advisers shall not, directly or indirectly, acquire, seek to acquire or enter into any arrangement concerning the Common Shares which will or may result in NTT, DoCoMo and their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates together holding, or having legal, beneficial or economic interests in Common Shares which represent in aggregate more than 21% of all Common Shares issued and outstanding from time to time, subject to certain provisos set out in the Co-Operation Agreement which allow the effect of share repurchases or capital returns that are conducted otherwise than on a pro-rata basis to be disregarded.

 

If NTT, DoCoMo and their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates together hold more than 21% of all Common Shares issued and outstanding other than as a result of some unintentional act, the First Pacific Parties have the right to terminate forthwith their respective rights and obligations under the Co-Operation Agreement, the Shareholders Agreement and the Strategic Agreement by written notice to each of PLDT, NTT and DoCoMo. If NTT, DoCoMo and their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates together hold more than 21% of all Common Shares issued and outstanding as a result of some unintentional act, the First Pacific Parties have the right to terminate their respective rights and

 

Page 16 of 33 Pages


obligations under the Co-Operation Agreement, the Shareholders Agreement and the Strategic Agreement by written notice to each of PLDT, NTT and DoCoMo only where the relevant parties have not, within 12 months, disposed of such number of Common Shares so as to together hold no more than 21% of all Common Shares issued and outstanding. These rights to terminate shall terminate only when certain rights and obligations of the parties terminate under the Co-Operation Agreement, the Strategic Agreement or the Shareholders Agreement; or when First Pacific and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates together hold or have legal, beneficial or economic interests in Common Shares which represent in aggregate less than 21% of all Common Shares issued and outstanding from time to time provided that (a) the right to terminate shall not terminate when such parties hold or have interests in Common Shares which represent in aggregate less than 21% but more than 18.5% and (b) such parties restore their aggregate holdings of Common Shares to such 21% level within 12 months of the date they first fall below 21%.

 

(c) Support

 

Each of NTT, DoCoMo and the First Pacific Parties have agreed and warranted that to the extent permissible under applicable laws and regulations of the Philippines and other jurisdictions, each of NTT, DoCoMo and the First Pacific Parties will cast its vote as a PLDT Shareholder (as defined in the Co-Operation Agreement) for the purpose of safeguarding PLDT from a Hostile Transferee (as defined in the Co-Operation Agreement and determined by the board of PLDT based on proper grounds, having regard to the interests of PLDT as a whole and the proper exercise by the directors of PLDT of their fiduciary duties), it being understood, however, that if in the reasonable determination of NTT, DoCoMo, or a First Pacific Party such action would or might violate any applicable law or regulation, then such party will not be bound by the support obligation set forth in the Co-Operation Agreement.

 

(d) Principle of Co-Operation, Exercise of Rights

 

After NTT has transferred to DoCoMo the full legal and beneficial title to Common Shares held as at the date of the Co-Operation Agreement amounting to the First Minimum Shareholding Threshold (as defined in the Co-Operation Agreement), references in the Shareholders Agreement and the Strategic Agreement to NTT Group shall be construed to be references to NTT and its Subsidiaries and DoCoMo and its Subsidiaries and references to an NTT Party shall be construed as references to NTT and its Permitted Transferees and DoCoMo and its Permitted Transferees, except as where otherwise provided for in the Co-Operation Agreement or where such a construction would produce an absurd result.

 

(e) Exercise of Rights by DoCoMo and NTT

 

In respect of any exercise of rights of NTT and DoCoMo set forth in certain provisions of the Co-Operation Agreement and certain provisions of the Shareholders Agreement and the Strategic Agreement, NTT and DoCoMo shall discuss between themselves the manner in which such rights shall be exercised, whereupon the Acting Party (as defined in the Co-Operation Agreement) shall give notice in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Shareholders Agreement and the Strategic Agreement to PLDT and the First Pacific Parties of the decision regarding the exercise of such rights.

 

Prior to July 1, 2006, NTT is responsible for notifying PLDT and the First Pacific Parties of decisions with respect to exercise of such rights to PLDT and the First Pacific Parties. From and after July 1, 2006, DoCoMo is responsible for notifying PLDT and the First Pacific Parties of such decisions. In each case, PLDT and the First Pacific Parties are entitled to rely on any such notice as if it had been given by both NTT and DoCoMo.

 

NTT and DoCoMo have also agreed that NTT will irrevocably assign to DoCoMo on July 1, 2006, all of NTT’s rights to nominate and provide the COA (as defined in the Co-Operation Agreement) pursuant to the Advisory Services Agreement (as defined in the Co-Operation Agreement).

 

NTT and DoCoMo shall, within the time periods provided for giving a Preemption Reply (as defined in the Co-Operation Agreement), consult with each other regarding the exercise of pre-emptive rights in respect of certain new issuances of Common Shares granted by the Strategic Agreement, first refusal rights in respect to certain Transfers of PLDT Shares by the First Pacific Parties and PTIC and certain Transfers of PTIC Shares (as defined in the Shareholders Agreement) by the PTIC Shareholders (as defined in the Shareholders Agreement). NTT and DoCoMo agree that DoCoMo shall be entitled to purchase all, or some only, of the Common Shares or PTIC Shares which may be purchased

 

Page 17 of 33 Pages


by NTT or DoCoMo pursuant to such agreements, and that if DoCoMo decides not to purchase some or all of such Common Shares, then NTT shall have the option to purchase some or all of the Common Shares or PTIC Shares not to be acquired by DoCoMo.

 

(f) Permitted Transfers of the Common Shares

 

In the event DoCoMo proposes to Transfer any Common Shares which would result in NTT and DoCoMo holding, in the aggregate, less than 10% of the Common Shares then issued and outstanding, NTT shall have the right of first offer to purchase such Common Shares from DoCoMo on terms and conditions no less favourable to DoCoMo than those on which DoCoMo proposes to Transfer such Common Shares. Such right shall be superior to any right of first refusal which any of the First Pacific Parties may have in respect of such proposed Transfer under the Shareholders Agreement. Any Transfer from DoCoMo to NTT pursuant to the exercise by NTT of its rights in such circumstance, shall not give rise to a right of first offer by the First Pacific Parties under the Shareholders Agreement and shall be a Transfer to a Permitted Transferee.

 

(g) Board Appointments

 

In respect of NTT’s right to nominate two directors to the board of PLDT pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement and the Strategic Agreement, NTT and each of the First Pacific Parties shall, to the extent of the power conferred by the Common Shares owned, directly or indirectly, by it from time to time and to the extent permissible under Philippines laws or regulations: (i) cast (or refrain from casting as appropriate) its votes as a PLDT Shareholder; (ii) lobby (as a PLDT Shareholder) the directors of PLDT; and (iii) otherwise use its reasonable efforts as a PLDT Shareholder, to procure a vote in favour of any resolution put to the meeting of PLDT Shareholders for the purpose of replacing one existing NTT nominee on the board of PLDT with one DoCoMo nominee.

Under the Co-Operation Agreement, NTT and DoCoMo have agreed to discuss between themselves the manner in which their rights will be exercised. Prior to July 1, 2006, NTT is responsible for notifying PLDT and the First Pacific Parties of decisions with respect to exercise of such rights to PLDT and the First Pacific Parties. From and after July 1, 2006, DoCoMo is responsible for notifying PLDT and the First Pacific Parties of such decisions.
