along with giving 15,000 shares of its P4 par value common stock that is currently selling for P40 per
share. Peter Corporation also agrees that it will pay an additional P100,000 on January 1 , 2023, if the
average net income of Sam's business unit exceeds P160,000 for 2021 and 2022. The likelihood of
reaching that target is estimated to be 75%.
