Dear Sirs:

 

In accordance with SMV Resolution for Material Events and Reserved Information and Other Communications N° 005-2014-SMV-01, Credicorp Ltd. complies by notifying you of the following Material Event.

 

Today, Credicorp Ltd. (Credicorp) has transferred over the Bolsa de Valores de Lima to its subsidiary, Grupo Crédito S.A. (GC), 97,971,179 shares owned by Credicorp Ltd. of Banco de Credito del Perú (BCP), which represent 1.39% of BCP’s share capital.

 

This operation concludes the transfer of 635,971,179 shares of BCP, equivalent to 9.00% of BCP’s share capital, owned by Credicorp. The transaction was announced to the market through a Hecho de Importancia (Material Event) on January 11^th, 2017. The total amount paid for all the shares was S/3,505,916,484.50.

 

As informed previously, this transfer has been conducted within the framework of an internal reorganization within Credicorp, without causing any change in control of BCP because Credicorp, through its subsidiary GC, will continue to own 97.69% of the shares of BCP.

 

The information in this Form 6-K (including any exhibit hereto) shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act.
