第一太平(00142.HK):MPIC兩附屬收到菲律賓法院有關仲裁案件終裁通知
格隆匯9月8日丨第一太平(00142.HK)公佈,在MPIC(公司於菲律賓的聯號公司)於2021年9月7日及2021年9月8日提交菲律賓證券交易所的披露文件(“MPIC披露文件”)中,MPIC披露,於2021年9月7日,NLEX及CAVITEX(各自均為MPIC在菲律賓從事收費道路經營業務的間接附屬公司)收到常設仲裁法院(the Permanent Court of Arbitration)(“審裁處”)有關彼等各自提交審裁處對方為菲律賓共和國(由及透過菲律賓收費道路監管委員會(the Toll Regulatory Board)(“監管委員會”)行事)的仲裁案件的最終裁決通知。該公吿概述在MPIC披露文件中所載的資料。
有關NLEX案件的裁決:NLEX分別於2012年及2014年就調整收費道路收費提交呈請(“2012年及2014年呈請”),有關NLEX就因延誤批准呈請而產生的損害賠償提出的申索,審裁處決定判監管委員會勝訴,並判NLEX敗訴。駁回申索並不損害監管委員會進一步覆核2012年及2014年呈請。審裁處亦表示,當監管委員會於2018年發出其決議案,批准向上調整NLEX的收費道路收費時,其已就2012年及2014年呈請作出決定(而NLEX亦已由2019年3月開始實行)。審裁處裁定,各方須按相同份額承擔仲裁費用,並將承擔其本身法律代表及援助的費用。
有關CAVITEX案件作的裁決:於CAVITEX及菲律賓拓展局(Philippine Reclamation Authority)因其於2011年及2014年提交的調整收費申請不獲批准所產生的賠償申索提前撤回後,審裁處發出最終命令,終止CAVITEX仲裁案件。與此同時,有關呈請目前正由監管委員會處理。
審裁處裁定,NLEX無權因監管委員會在2012年及2014年呈請中出現延誤而失去的收入獲得賠償。儘管決定將不會導致在MPIC的賬冊內撇減任何資產,然而,MPIC集團在評估未來的收費道路項目時將會考慮該決定。NLEX尊重審裁處的決定,並將會繼續就未完結的收費道路收費申請與監管委員會合作,以確保NLEX能夠繼續其經營業務。
CAVITEX現正就處理於2011年及2014年提交的所有收費道路收費調整呈請與監管委員會合作,其亦為CAVITEX仲裁的內容。
