The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has extended the deadline for the submission of the official email addresses and mobile phone numbers of corporations, partnerships and individuals under its supervision.

In a notice it issued on July 15, the SEC announced the extension of the deadline for the submission of the requirement under SEC Memorandum Circular No. 28, Series of 2020, through end-August.

Corporations, partnerships and individuals registered with the SEC may download the forms referred to as Annex D-G from the SEC website and file them through email at [email protected]

The SEC will also accept manual submissions. Those who plan to submit their forms at the SEC's main office at the PICC Complex in Pasay must first book an appointment.

The SEC said it will impose a penalty of P10,000 on corporations, partnerships and individuals under its supervision for their failure to comply with the memorandum circular by August 31.

The submission should include the complete name of the corporation, association, partnership or person; SEC registration number or identification number; and their duly authorized representative.

The email addresses and mobile phone numbers shall be under the control of the corporate secretary, the person charged with the administration and management of the corporation sole, the resident agent of the foreign corporation, the managing partners, the individual, or the duly authorized representative.

The submission shall be accompanied by a duly signed authorization or certification, which shall state that the corporation, partnership or person allows the SEC to send communications through the email addresses and mobile phone numbers provided for the purpose of complying with the notice requirement of administrative due process.

The authorization or certification must be signed by the corporate secretary, managing partner, resident agent or the duly authorized representative of the corporation, partnership or individual registered with the SEC.
