Manila – Max’s Group, Inc. (“MGI” or the “Company”), the country’s largest casual dining chain, today
announced management changes to re-align its focus to its customers as it further stimulates growth across
all its business units.
MGI will be led once again by Robert F. Trota as President and CEO, reporting to the Board of Directors.
In this role, the business units of Max’s Restaurant, Yellow Cab Pizza Co., Pancake House, Krispy Kreme,
Jamba Juice, Teriyaki Boy, Sizzlin’ Steak, Dencio’s, and manufacturing arm, No Bia, Inc. will report to Mr.
Trota. This change will take effect following the resignation of Ariel P. Fermin, current President, effective

“Today’s announcement represents the continuing evolution of the business, relying on strengths we have
developed and mastered throughout the years,” said Sharon T. Fuentebella, Chairperson, Max’s Group,

Team, we will ensure the Company’s goals are executed consistent with our Vision and Mission.”
Added Fuentebella, “Finally, I would like to thank Ariel for his innumerable contributions to MGI. He led the
Company through one of the most challenging periods of our time. Through his leadership, MGI not only
beat the odds during the pandemic, but refined the model for our existing business and established new
opportunities in a fast-growing food retail category.”
