Question 2
2. Datu Commercial Corporation (DCC), a publicly-listed company with the
Philippine Stock Exchange, incorporated Kidlat Close Corporation (KCC),
investing into 91% of its outstanding capital. The chairman, president, and
executive vice-president of DCC are incorporators of KCC, each holding 3% of
the outstanding capital stock. The articles of incorporation of KCC provided: 1)
a limit on the number of shareholders, which shall never exceed five; 2) a right
of first refusal; and 3) a prohibition on the shares from being listed or being
publicly offered. Pending the issuance by the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) of the Certificate of Registration, the vice-president of KCC
entered into a long-term contract of lease on behalf of KCC, which was declared
therein as undergoing incorporation with the SEC. Is DCC qualified to be an
incorporator of KCC although it is a juridical entity? Explain your answer.
