Re.:
MATERIAL EVENT
Dear
Sirs:
In
accordance with article 28 of the Capital Markets Law and CONASEV Resolution for
Material Events and Reserved Information and Other Communications number
107-2002-EF/94.10, as modified by CONASEV Resolution number 009-2003-EF/94.10,
Credicorp Ltd. complies with notifying you of the following Material
Events:
1. In
the session held on January 20, 2010, Credicorp’s Board of Directors agreed to
set the date for the Annual General Shareholder’s meeting for Friday, March 26,
2010, at 3 p.m. (Peruvian time), at the main offices of Banco de Credito del
Peru, located at 156 Calle Centenario, Laderas de Melgarejo, in La Molina, Lima,
Peru to attend to the following matters:
|
·
|
To
consider and approve the Annual Report of the Company for the financial
year ended December 31, 2009.
|
|
·
|
To
consider and approve the audited consolidated financial statements of the
Company and its subsidiaries for the financial year ended December 31,
2009 including the report of the independent auditors of the Company
thereon.
|
|
·
|
To
appoint the external auditors of the Company to hold office until the
conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting, in accordance with the
proposal and recommendation of the Audit
Committee
|
The Board
has established that those shareholders who are officially registered as
shareholders of the company on February 5, 2010 (“Record Date”) will be entitled
to attend and vote in the above mentioned shareholder’s meeting.
In
accordance with the company’s By-laws, if a quorum is not met in the first
instance, the meeting will be postponed until March 31, 2010 at the same place
and time.
Please
note that in Credicorp’s letter dated January 8,
2010, a
request was made for exemption of the requirement to submit, as of this date,
copy of the audited financial statements and of the annual report, according to
the Regulation for Material Events and Reserved Information and Other
Communications, given that our company is registered in Bermuda, and its shares
are listed in the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), and together with The Bank of
New York Mellon, which is Credicorp’s stock transfer agent, a record
date is determined to
attend and vote in the Annual General Shareholder’s meeting, with a long lead
time, considering that a letter and PROXY material is to be sent to each
shareholder approximately 30 days before the
meeting.
Hence,
the
company’s 2009 Annual
Report and the independent Auditors Report and Opinion will be approved by the
Board prior to being considered at the Annual General Shareholders meeting, at
which time said documents will be presented to the CONASEV in accordance with
the regulations for Material Events and Reserved Information and Other
Communications
2. In
the same session, Credicorp’s Board of Directors in accordance with CONASEV
Resolution N° 107-2002-EF-94.10 for Material Events, Reserved Information and
Other Communications appointed Ms. María del Carmen Torres Mariscal and Mr.
Guillermo Jesús Morales Valentín as Credicorp’s Alternative Stock Market
Representatives.
Sincerely,
/s/
