Significant Employees While the Registrant acknowledges that each and every employee has a role and contribution to make, it also strongly believes that no one is indispensable in the organization. Thus, the loss of an employee, or even an officer, will not cause any serious dislocation or disruption in the business of the Registrant. This is not to say, however, that the Registrant does not endeavor to retain good and deserving employees. As a matter of policy, the Registrant sees to it that the maintenance of good relations with a client, customer or any other third party, is the responsibility of more than one person. Thus, the success of a transaction, undertaking, or project does not depend on any one employee. In this sense, it can be said that the Registrant does not have what the Rules refer to as significant employees. Family Relationship With the exception of the spouses Dr. Rolando B. Hortaleza and Dr. Rosalinda Ang‐ Hortaleza and their eldest daughter Allue Krisanne A. Hortaleza who are the Chairman, Vice‐Chairman, and Director, respectively, of the Company, there are no family relationships either by consanguinity or affinity up to the fourth (4th) civil degree among the directors, executive officers and nominees for election as directors. Involvement in certain Legal Proceedings During the past 5 years, 2003‐2007, there have been no pending Legal Proceedings, Bankruptcy petition, nor conviction by final judgment, against any Director and Executive Officers of registrant that is material to an evaluation of their ability or integrity to become a Director or Executive Officer of the Company during the past five years. Neither has any of them been subject to any Order, Judgment, or Decree, nor involved in any proceeding for violation of a Securities or Commodities law. There are pending legal cases against the Company that are being contested by the Company and its legal counsels. Management and its legal counsels believe that the final resolution of these cases will not have immediate material effect on the financial position and operating results of the Company. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions The Registrant sells to the following affiliates: HBC, Inc. and PT Splash Indonesia, companies owned by Splash Holdings, Inc. where Dr. Rolando B. Hortaleza, Dr. Rosalinda Ang‐Hortaleza, and Allue Krisanne A. Hortaleza are members of the Board 18 of Directors and/or executive officers. HBC accounts for less than 5% of total Company sales while PT Splash Indonesia accounts for less than 1%. Transactions with these affiliates are strictly on an arms‐length basis. There are no material transactions which were negotiated by Splash Corporation with parties whose relationship with the Corporation fall outside the definition of “related parties” under SFA/IAS No. 24 but with whom Splash Corporation has relationship that enables such parties to negotiate terms that may not be available from other, more clearly independent parties on an arm’s length basis.
