CAUTIONARY LANGUAGE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Annual Report on Form 20-F contains statements that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include statements preceded by, followed by or that include “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” “estimates” or “anticipates” and similar expressions. These statements appear throughout this Annual Report, including, without limitation, under “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors”, “Item 4. Information on the Company” and “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects”, are not based on historical facts but instead represent only our belief regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside our control and include statements regarding our current intent, belief or expectations with respect to (1) our asset growth and financing plans, (2) trends affecting our financial condition or results of operations, (3) the impact of competition and regulations, (4) projected capital expenditures, and (5) liquidity. Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from those described in such forward-looking statements included in this Annual Report as a result of various factors (including, without limitation, the actions of competitors, future global economic conditions, market conditions, currency exchange rates and operating and financial risks), many of which are beyond our control. The occurrence of any such factors, not currently expected by us, would significantly alter the results set forth in these statements.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially and adversely include, but are not limited to:

 

trends affecting our financial condition or results of operations;

 

our dividend policy;

 

changes in the participation of our shareholders or any other factor that may result in a change of control;

 

the amount of our indebtedness;

 

natural disasters;

 

changes in general economic, business, regulatory, political or other conditions in the Republic of Chile, or Chile, or the Republic of Colombia, or Colombia, or changes in general economic or business conditions in Latin America;

 

changes in capital markets in general that may affect policies or attitudes towards lending to Chile or Colombia, Chilean or Colombian companies or securities issued by Chilean companies;

 

  the monetary and interest rate policies of the Central Bank of Chile (Banco Central de Chile), or the Central Bank of Chile, or the Central Bank of Colombia (Banco de la República de Colombia), or the Central Bank of Colombia;;

our ability to successfully complete the implementation of a new information technology core banking system in Colombia, as part of the integration process in Colombia;

 

consequences of the pending acquisition of a controlling interest in us by Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A, or Itaú Unibanco, as well as the merger of Banco Itaú Chile, or Itaú Chile, with and into us and the potential acquisition of Itaú BBA Colombia S.A., Corporación Financiera, or Itaú Colombia by us or the merger of Itaú Colombia with and into Banco CorpBanca Colombia, S.A., or CorpBanca Colombia;Colombia (the Itaú-CorpBanca Merger);

the merged bank’s abilities to achieve revenue benefits and cost savings from the integration between CorpBanca’s and Banco Itaú Chile’s businesses and assets; and

 

the other factors identified or discussed under “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors” in this Annual Report.Report

You should not place undue reliance on such statements, which speak only as of the date that they were made. These cautionary statements should be considered in connection with any written or oral forward-looking statements that we may make in the future. We do not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to such forward-looking statements after the date of this Annual Report to reflect later events or circumstances or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Neither CorpBanca nor Banco Itaú Chile, as a matter of course make public projections as to future net revenues, costs, or other results. However, the both banks have prepared prospective financial information for inclusion in this document mainly related to estimated revenue synergies, cost savings, funding costs and capital position to present the estimated impacts of the merge with Banco Itaú Chile. This prospective financial information was not prepared in accordance with the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accounts (the “AICPA”) with respect to prospective financial information.

Statements relating to the cost savings that both, CorpBanca and Banco Itaú Chile expect to achieve following the transaction described in this document are based on assumptions which in the view of the bank’s management, were prepared on a reasonable basis, reflect the best currently available estimates and judgments, and present, to the best of such management’s knowledge and belief, the expected course of action and the expected future financial impact on performance of the bank due to the merger with Banco Itaú-Chile. However, the assumptions about these expected cost savings and growth opportunities are inherently uncertain and, though considered reasonable by management as of the date of its preparation, are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic, and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the prospective financial information. There can be no assurance that the banks will be able to successfully implement the strategic or operational initiatives that are intended.

Neither CorpBanca’s independent auditors, nor any other independent accountants, have complied with, examined, or performed any procedures with respect to the prospective financial information contained herein, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or its achievability, and assume no responsibility for, or disclaim any association with, the prospective financial information.

ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

We are a banking corporation organized under the laws of Chile. The majority of our directors or executive officers are not residents of the United States and a substantial portion of our assets and the assets of these persons are located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for you to effect service of process within the United States upon us or such persons or to enforce against them or us in the United States or other foreign courts, judgments obtained in the United States predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States.

No treaty exists between the United States and Chile for the reciprocal enforcement of court judgments. Chilean courts, however, have enforced final judgments rendered in the United States, subject to the review in Chile of the United States judgment in order to ascertain whether certain basic principles of due process and public policy have been respected, without reviewing the merits of the subject matter of the case. If a United States court grants a final judgment in an action based on the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States, enforceability of this judgment in Chile will be subject to the obtaining of the relevant “exequatur” (i.e., recognition and enforcement of the foreign judgment) according to Chilean civil procedure law in force at that time, and consequently, subject to the satisfaction of certain factors. Currently, the most important of these factors are the absence of any conflict between the foreign judgment and Chilean laws (excluding for this purpose the laws of civil procedure) and public policies; the absence of a conflicting judgment by a Chilean court relating to the same parties and arising from the same facts and circumstances; the absence of any further means for appeal or review of the judgment in the jurisdiction where judgment was rendered; the Chilean courts’ determination that the United States courts had jurisdiction; that service of process was appropriately served on the defendant and that the defendant was afforded a real opportunity to appear before the court and defend its case; and that enforcement would not violate Chilean public policy.

In general, the enforceability in Chile of final judgments of United States courts does not require retrial in Chile.

PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL AND OTHER INFORMATION

Financial Statements

We are a Chilean bank and maintain our financial books and records in Chilean pesos and prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, or IASB. Unless otherwise indicated herein, as used hereafter IFRS refers to the standards issued by the IASB.

As required by local regulations, our consolidated financial statements filed with the Chilean Superintendency of Banks and Financial Institutions (Superintendencia de Bancos e Instituciones Financieras), also referred to as the SBIF, have been prepared in accordance with Chilean accounting principles or Chilean Bank GAAP, issued by the SBIF.SBIF; nevertheless, SBIF’s regulations provide that unless specifically regulated by this agency, our financial statements shall be prepared in accordance with IFRS, as issued by the IASB. Unless otherwise indicated herein, as used hereafter IFRS refers to the standards issued by the IASB. Therefore, our consolidated financial statements filed with the SBIF have been adjusted to IFRS in order to comply with the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. We have included herein certain information in Chilean Bank GAAP with respect to the Chilean financial system.system and the financial performance of the bank. These disclosures are not considered non-GAAP measures as they are required for regulatory purposes in Chile.

The selected consolidated financial information included herein as of December 31, 20142015 and for the year ended December 31, 2014,2015, together with the selected consolidated financial information as of December 31, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 20132014 and for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2013,2014, is derived from, and presented on the same basis as, our consolidated financial statements prepared under IFRS and should be read together with such consolidated financial statements. Readers should exercise caution in determining trends based on prior annual reports. See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—A. Operating Results—The Economy—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates”.

Our auditors, Deloitte Auditores y Consultores Ltda., or Deloitte, an independent registered public accounting firm, have audited our consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS as of December 31, 20142015 and 20132014 and for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2014.2015. See page 240238 and F-1 of this report for further details on Deloitte’s opinions.

Foreign Currency Markets

In this Annual Report, references to “$,” “US$,” “U.S. dollars” and “dollars” are to United States dollars, references to “Chilean pesos” or “Ch$” are to Chilean pesos, references to “UF” are toUnidades de Fomento and references to “Colombian pesos” or “COP$” are to Colombian pesos. The UF is an inflation-indexed, Chilean peso-denominated unit that is linked to and adjusted daily to reflect changes in the previous month’s Chilean Consumer Price Index of the Chilean National Statistics Institute (Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas). As of December 31, 2014, one UF equaled US$40.68, Ch$24,627.10 and COP$97,263.43 and as of April 23, 2015, one UF equaled US$40.10,36.08, Ch$24,720.2425,629.09 and COP$98,663.89.113,102.78 and as of March 11, 2016, one UF equaled US$37.69, Ch$25,762.22 and COP$117,101. See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects”.

This Annual Report contains translations of certain Chilean peso amounts into U.S. dollars and Colombian pesos at specified rates solely for the convenience of the reader. These translations should not be construed as representations that such Chilean peso amounts actually represent such U.S. dollar or Colombian pesos amounts, were converted from U.S. dollars or Colombian pesos amounts at the rate indicated in preparing our financial statements or could be converted into U.S. dollars or Colombian pesos amounts at the rate indicated or any particular rate at all. Unless otherwise indicated, such U.S. dollar and Colombian pesos amounts have been translated from Chilean pesos based on our own exchange rate of Ch$605.46710.32 and COP$2.391.36,3,135.17, respectively, per US$1.00 as of December 31, 2014.2015.

Specific Loan Information

Unless otherwise specified, all references in this Annual Report to total loans are to loans and financial leases before deduction for allowances for loan losses, and they do not include loans to banks or unfunded loan commitments. In addition, all

market share data and financial indicators for the Chilean banking system when compared to CorpBanca’s financial information,

presented in this Annual Report or incorporated by reference into this Annual Report are based on information published periodically by the SBIF, which is published under Chilean Bank GAAP and prepared on a consolidated basis. Non-performing loans include the principal and accrued interest on any loan with one installment more than 90 days overdue. Impaired loans include those loans on which there is objective evidence that customers will not meet some of their contractual payment obligations. Past due loans include all installments and lines of credit more than 90 days overdue, provided that the aggregate principal amount of such loans is not included. Under IFRS, a loan is evaluated on each financial statement reporting date to determine whether objective evidence of impairment exists. A loan will be impaired if and only if, objective evidence of impairment exists as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the loan, and such event or events have an impact on the estimated future cash flows of such loan that can be reliably estimated. It may not be possible to identify a single event that was the individual cause of the impairment. An impairment loss relating to a loan is calculated as the difference between the carrying amount of the loan and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate. Individually significant loans are individually tested for impairment. The remaining financial loans are evaluated collectively in groups with similar credit risk characteristics. The reversal of an impairment loss occurs only if it can be objectively related to an event occurring after the initial impairment loss was recorded. In the case of loans recorded at amortized cost, the reversal is recorded in income. See “Item 4. Information on the Company—Business Overview—Selected Statistical Information —Classification of Banks and Loans; Allowances and Provisions for Loan Losses.”

According to Decree with Force of Law No. 3 of 1997, as amended, theLey General de Bancosor the Chilean General Banking Law,Act, a bank must have effective net equity (patrimonio efectivo) of at least 8% of its risk weighted assets, net of required allowance for loan losses, and paid in capital and reserves, andor basic capital (capital básico), of at least 3% of its total assets, net of required allowance for loan losses.

For these purposes, the effective net equity of a bank is the sum of (1) the bank’s basic capital, (2) subordinated bonds issued by the bank valued at their issue price for an amount of up to 50% of its basic capital; provided that the value of the bonds shall decrease by 20% for each year that elapses during the period commencing six years prior to their maturity and (3) its voluntary allowances for loan losses, for an amount of up to 1.25% of its risk weighted assets to the extent voluntary allowances exceed those that banks are required to maintain by law or regulation; minus (4) certain deductions to be made in accordance with provisions of chapter 12-1 of the regulations of the SBIF(SBIF (Recopilación Actualizada de Normas), or the Regulations of the SBIF.

Rounding and Other Matters

Certain figures included in this Annual Report and in our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 20142015 have been rounded for ease of presentation. Percentage figures included in this Annual Report have in all cases not been calculated on the basis of such rounded figures but on the basis of such amounts prior to rounding. For this reason, percentage amounts in this Annual Report may vary slightly from those obtained by performing the same calculations using the figures in our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014.2015. Certain other amounts that appear in this Annual Report may similarly not sum due to rounding.

Inflation figures relating to Chile are those reported by the Chilean National Statistics Institute (Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas) or INE, unless otherwise stated herein or required by the context. Inflation figures relating to Colombia are those reported by the Colombian National Administrative Department of Statistics (Departamento Administrativo Nacional de Estadística -) or DANE,), unless otherwise stated herein or required by the context. See “—Exchange Rate Information” below.

In this Annual Report, all macro-economicmacroeconomic data related to the Chilean economy is based on information published by the Central Bank of Chile and all macro-economicmacroeconomic data related to the Colombian economy is based on information published by the Central Bank of Colombia. All market share and other data related to the Chilean financial system is based on information published by the SBIF as well as other publicly available information and all market share and other data related to the Colombian financial system is based on information published by the Colombian Superintendency of Finance (Superintendencia Financiera de Colombia) as well as other publicly available information. The SBIF publishes the consolidated risk index (ratio of allowance for loans losses over total loans) of the Chilean financial system on a monthly basis. The Colombian Superintendency of Finance publishes every month the consolidated data required to calculate the risk index of the Colombian banking system (loan loss allowances and total loans).

EXCHANGE RATE INFORMATION

Exchange Rates

Chile has two currency markets, the Formal Exchange Market (Mercado Cambiario Formal) and the Informal Exchange Market (Mercado Cambiario Informal). The Formal Exchange Market is comprised of banks and other entities authorized by the Central Bank of Chile. The Informal Exchange Market is comprised of entities that are not expressly authorized to operate in the Formal Exchange Market, such as certain foreign exchange houses and travel agencies, among others. The Central Bank of Chile is empowered

to require that certain purchases and sales of foreign currencies be carried out on the Formal Exchange Market. Both the Formal and Informal Exchange Markets are driven by free market forces. Current regulations require that the Central Bank of Chile be informed of certain transactions and that they be effected through the Formal Exchange Market.

The U.S. dollar observed exchange rate (dólar observado), or the Observed Exchange Rate, which is reported by the Central Bank of Chile and published daily in the Official Gazette (Diario Oficial) is the weighted average exchange rate of the previous business day’s transactions in the Formal Exchange Market. Nevertheless, the Central Bank of Chile may intervene by buying or selling foreign currency on the Formal Exchange Market to attempt to maintain the Observed Exchange Rate within a desired range. Even though the Central Bank of Chile is authorized to carry out its transactions at the Observed Exchange Rate, it often uses spot rates instead. Many other banks carry out foreign exchange transactions at spot rates as well.

The Informal Exchange Market reflects transactions carried out at an informal exchange rate. There are no limits imposed on the extent to which the rate of exchange in the Informal Exchange Market can fluctuate above or below the Observed Exchange Rate.

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York does not report a noon buying rate for Chilean pesos.

As of December 31, 2014,2015, the U.S. dollar exchange rate used by us was Ch$605,46710.32 per US$1.00 and the Colombian pesospeso exchange rate used by us was Ch$0.25323,135.17 per Cop$1.00.

Exchange Controls Considerations

Investments made in our common shares and our ADRs are subject to the following requirements:

 

any foreign investor acquiring common shares to be deposited into an ADR facility who brought funds into Chile for that purpose must bring those funds through an entity participating in the Formal Exchange Market;

 

the entity participating in the Formal Exchange Market through which the funds are brought into Chile must report such investment to the Central Bank of Chile;

 

all remittances of funds from Chile to the foreign investor upon the sale of common shares underlying American Depositary Shares, or ADSs, or from dividends or other distributions made in connection therewith must be made through the Formal Exchange Market; and

 

all remittances of funds made to the foreign investor must be reported to the Central Bank of Chile.

When funds are brought into Chile for a purpose other than to acquire common shares to convert them into ADSs and subsequently are used to acquire common shares to be deposited into the ADR facility, such investment must be reported to the Central Bank of Chile by the custodian within ten days following the end of each month within which the custodian is obligated to deliver periodic reports to the Central Bank of Chile.

All payments made within Chile in foreign currency in connection with ADSs through the Formal Exchange Market must be reported to the Central Bank of Chile by the entity participating in the transaction. In the event there are payments made outside of Chile, the foreign investor must provide the relevant information to the Central Bank of Chile directly or through an entity of the Formal Exchange Market within the first ten calendar days of the month following the date on which the payment was made.

We cannot assure you that additional Chilean restrictions applicable to the holders of the ADSs, the disposition of shares underlying ADSs or the conversion or repatriation of the proceeds from such disposition will not be imposed in the future, nor can we assess the duration or impact of such restriction if imposed.

This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified by reference to Chapter XIV of the Central Bank Foreign Exchange Regulations, a copy of which is available in the original Spanish version at the Central Bank of Chile’s website at www.bcentral.cl.

D.RISK FACTORS

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR BUSINESS

The growth and composition of our loan portfolio may expose us to increased loan losseslosses.

From December 31, 20112012 to December 31, 2014,2015, the compounded annual growth rate of our aggregate gross loan portfolio was 27.8%13.4%. Our business strategy is to grow profitably while increasing the size of our loan portfolio.

Our loan portfolio has oneThe consumer loans segment withrepresents the single highest level of risk: consumer loans.risk in our loan portfolio. As of December 31, 2014,2015, the risk index (ratio of allowance for loans losses over total loans) of this segment was 2.0%1.5% – reflecting a 0.5% decrease in 2015 – while other segments of our loan portfolio such as mortgage loans orand commercial loans had lower risk indexes of 0.3%0.4% and 1.0%1.3%, respectively.

During 2015, our portfolio of consumer loans was negatively impacted by the decline in consumer activity in the country. As of December 31, 2015, consumer loans represented 11.6% of our total loan portfolio compared to 12.2% as of December 31, 2014. While our loan portfolio grew by 4.3%, the composition of our loan portfolio as of December 31, 2015 reflected a greater increase in commercial loans, from Ch$10,090,574 million to Ch$10,696,518 million, this is a 6.0% increase when compared to our portfolio of consumer loans. Our mortgage loan portfolio has remained stable between Ch$2,229,558 million in 2014 and Ch$2,228,619 million in 2015, a 0.04% decrease.

Our consumer loan portfolio may experience loan losses due to the absence of collateral in respect of unsecured loans, insufficient collateral in collateralized loans, and risks relating to the circumstances of individual borrowers, including unemployment or deathincapacitation of our consumer borrowers.

Our consumer loans have increased during 2014 in terms of aggregate amount, but, as a result of an overall increase of our total loan portfolio, have remained consistent as a percentage of our total loan portfolio in the same period. As of December 31, 2014, consumer loans represented 12.2% of our total loan portfolio compared to 12.6% in 2013.

We believe our allowancetotal allowances for loan losses is adequate as of the date hereof to cover all known losses in our total loan portfolio. The growth of our loan portfolio (particularly in the lower-middle to middle income consumer segments) may expose us to a higher level of loan losses and require us to establish proportionately higher levels of provisions for loan losses, which would offset the increased income that we can expect to receive as our loan portfolio grows.

Our loan portfolio may not continue to grow at the same or similar raterate.

Past performance of our loan portfolio may not be indicative of future performance. There can be no assurance that in the future ourOur loan portfolio willmay not continue to grow at the same or similar rates as the growth rate that we historically experienced, particularly in light of the growth in recent years attributable to (i) our acquisitionthe acquisitions of 91.9% equity interest in CorpBanca Colombia in May 2012 or the Banco Santander(the CorpBanca Colombia Acquisition,Aqcuisition) and (ii) our acquisition of a 87.4% equity interest in Helm Bank in August 2013 or the(the Helm Bank Acquisition, or, together with the Banco Santander Colombia Acquisition, the Colombia Acquisitions. A reversal of the rate of growth ofAqcuisition). Additionally, changes in the Chilean or Colombian economy, a slowdown in the growth of customer demand, an increase in market competition or changes in governmental regulations could also adversely affect the rate of growth of our loan portfolio and our risk index and, accordingly, increase our required allowances for loan losses. Economic turmoil could also materially and adversely affect the liquidity, businesses and financial condition of our customers, including a general decline in consumer spending and a rise in unemployment, which in turn could lead to decreased demand for borrowings in general.index.

Our allowances for loan losses may not be adequate to cover the future actual losses to our loan portfolioportfolio.

As of December 31, 2014,2015, our allowance for loan losses was Ch$137,605 million173,939 (excluding allowances for loan losses on loans and receivable to banks), and the risk index was 1.0%1.2%. The amount of allowance for loan losses is based on our current assessment of and expectations concerning various factors affecting the quality of our loan portfolio. These factors include, among other things,others, our customers’ financial condition, repayment abilities and repayment intentions, the realizable value of any collateral, the prospects for support from any guarantor, Chile’sChilean and Colombia’s economy,Colombian economies, government macroeconomic policies, interest rates and the legal and regulatory environment. Many of these factors are beyond our control. In addition, as these factors evolve, the models we use to determine the appropriate level of allowance for loan losses require recalibration, which may lead to increased provision for loan losses. If our assessment of and expectations concerning the above mentioned factors differ from actual developments, if the quality of our loan portfolio deteriorates or if the future actual losses exceed our estimates, our allowance for loan losses may not be adequate to cover actual losses and we may need to make additional allowances for loan losses, which may materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. We believe our allowance for loan losses is adequate as of the date hereof for all known losses.

If we are unable to maintain the quality of our loan portfolio, our financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affectedaffected.

As of December 31, 2014,2015, our past due loans were Ch$82,650 million,104,897, which resulted in a past due loans to total loans ratio of 0.6%0.7%. As of December 31, 2014,2015, our non-performing loans were Ch$180,536 million,196,806, which resulted in a non-performing to total loans ratio of 1.3%. We seek to continue to improve our credit risk management policies and procedures. However, we cannot assure you that our credit risk management policies, procedures and systems are free from any deficiency. Failure of credit risk management policies may result in an increase in the level of non-performing loans and adversely affect the quality of our loan portfolio. In addition, the quality of our loan portfolio may also deteriorate due to various other reasons, including factors beyond our control, such as the macroeconomic factors affecting the Chilean or Colombian economies. If such deterioration were to occur, it could materially and adversely affect our financial conditions and results of operations.

Our exposureAdditionally, due to individualslimitations in the availability of information and small-to-medium-sized companies could lead to higher levels of past due loans and subsequent loan losses

The quality of our portfolio of loans to individuals and small-to-medium-sized enterprises, or SMEs, is dependent to a significant extent on prevailing economic conditionsthe developing information infrastructure in Chile and Colombia. SMEs and lower-middleColombia, our assessment of the credit risks associated with a particular customer may not be based on complete, accurate or reliable information. In addition, although we have been improving our credit scoring systems to middle income individuals are more likely tobetter assess borrowers’ credit risk profiles, we cannot assure you that our credit scoring systems collect complete or accurate information reflecting the actual behavior of customers or that their credit risk can be more severely affected by adverse developments in the Chilean and Colombian economies than large corporations and higher income individuals. Asassessed correctly.

Furthermore, a result, lending to SMEs and lower-middle to middle income individuals represents a relatively higher degree of risk than lending to other market segments.

A substantial number of our customers consist of individuals and small-to-medium-sized enterprises, or SMEs. Our business results relating to our lower-income individual and SME customers are, however, more likely to be adversely affected by downturns in the Chilean and Colombian economies, including increases in unemployment, than our business from large corporations and high-income individuals. For example, unemployment directly affects the capacity of individuals to obtain and repay consumer loans. Consequently, this could

materially and adversely affect the liquidity, business and financial condition of our customers, which may in turn cause us to experience higher levels of past due loans, and result in higher allowances for loan losses, which could in turn materially affect our asset quality, results of operations and financial conditions.

The value of any collateral securing our loans may not be sufficient, and we may be unable to realize the full value of the collateral securing our loan portfolioportfolio.

From time to time, we require our borrowers to collateralize their loans with guarantees, pledges of particular assets or other security. The value of any collateral securing our loan portfolio may significantly fluctuate or decline due to factors beyond our control, including

control. Such factors include market factors, environmental risks, natural disasters, macroeconomic factors and political events affecting the Chilean andor Colombian economies. The real estate market is particularly vulnerable to a negative economic climate and this may affect us as real estate represents a significant portionAny decline in the value of the collateral securing our residential mortgages loan portfolio. We may also not have sufficiently recent information on the value of collateral, whichloans may result in a reduction in the recovery from collateral realization and may have an inaccurate assessment for impairment losses of our loans secured by such collateral. If this were to occur, we may need to make additional allowance for loan losses to cover actual impairment losses of our loans, which may materially and adversely affectadverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

Additionally, there are certain provisions under Chilean law No. 19,335In addition, the Bank may face difficulties in perfecting its liens and enforcing its rights as a secured creditor. In particular, timing delays and procedural problems in enforcing against collateral and local protectionism in the markets in which we operate may make foreclosures on collateral and enforcement of 1994judgments difficult, and may result in losses that maycould materially and adversely affect the procedures for foreclosing on or liquidating residential mortgages if the residence in question has been declared as “family property” by a court because it is inhabited by the familyour results of the mortgagor. If any party occupying the real estate files a petition with the court requesting that such real estate be declared family property, we may be delayed in foreclosing on such property.

There are also certain provisions of Colombian Law No. 1,676 that may affect our rights to foreclose on or liquidate movable assets pledged in favor of our Colombian subsidiaries. Colombian Law No. 1,676, issued on August 20, 2013,operations and applicable as of February 21, 2014, created a new registry for liens over movable assets. Creditors registering liens are granted priority based on the date of registration of the liens in the new registry. This “first in time, first in right” rule also applies to those liens granted before the enactment of the law. We have been registering liens granted in our favor prior to February 21, 2014, however, there is a risk that after August 20, 2014 (the date on which the six months term granted by Law 1,676 of 2013 to re-register liens in the new registry expired), third parties with conflicting liens may also seek to obtain registration over the same assets, in which case the first party to register a lien will have priority over any subsequent lien holder. In addition, given the recent enactment of this law, there is uncertainty as to how the law will be interpreted and applied, including how movable assets underlying the securities will be valued by the registry.financial condition.

We may be unable to meet requirements relating to capital adequacyadequacy.

Chilean banks are required by the Chilean General Banking LawAct to maintain regulatory capital of at least 8% of risk-weighted assets, net of required allowance for loan losses and deductions, and basic capital of at least 3% of total assets, net of required allowance for loan losses. For the purposes of maintaining a high solvency classification from the SBIF and continued compliance with the SBIF’s capital requirements on us, our intention is to have the highest classification from the SBIF. As of December 31, 2014,2015, the ratio of our Bank for International Settlements, or BIS, capital-weighted assets ratio was 12.39%9.5%. Nevertheless our capital ratios levels decreased from 12.4% to 9.5% between 2014 and 2015, following the approval of the merger with Banco Itaú Chile, considering that our shareholders, together with approving the merger, approved a special dividend distribution in the amount of Ch$239.86 billion that was paid on July 1, 2015.

Additionally, Colombian financial institutions are subject to capital adequacy requirements (as set forth in Decree 1771 of 2012, as amended) that are based on applicable Basel Committee standards. The regulations establish four categories of assets, which are each assigned different risk weights, and require that a credit institution’s Technical Capital (as defined below) be at least 9% of that institution’s total risk-weighted assets, and that its ordinary basic capital be at least 4.5% of that institution’s total risk-weighted assets. Technical Capital for the purposes of the Colombian regulations consists of the sum of Tier One Capital (ordinary basic capital) and Tier Two Capital (additional basic capital plus additional capital), collectively, Technical Capital. As of December 31, 2015, the consolidated ratio for our Colombian operations (calculated as BIS capital to risk-weighted assets) was 12.9%.

Certain developments could affect our ability to continue to satisfy the current capital adequacy requirements applicable to us, including:

 

the increase of risk-weighted assets as a result of the expansion of our business;

 

the failure to increase our capital correspondingly;

 

losses resulting from a deterioration in our asset quality;

 

declines in the value of our available-for-sale investment portfolio;

 

goodwill and minority interest;

 

changes in accounting rules; and

 

changes in the guidelines regarding the calculation of the capital adequacy ratios of banks in Chile.the countries we operate.

fluctuations in exchange rates that could impact our loan portfolio, valuation adjustments due to the translation effects in equity or hedging strategies.

As provided in article 68 of the Chilean General Banking Law,Act, if we fail at any time to meet the legal requirements relating to the maintenance of regulatory capital (which is comprised of effective net worth and basic capital, as both concepts are defined in article 66 of the Chilean General Banking LawAct and Chapter 12-1 of the Regulations of the SBIF), we would have to comply with such legal requirements within a period of sixty days. For each day we fail to comply with such legal requirements, we maywould be subject to a daily penalty equal to one thousandth of the deficit of the effective net worth or basic capital, as the case may be.

Our Colombian operations may be unable to meet requirements relating to capital adequacy

Capital adequacy requirements for Colombian financial institutions (as set forth in Decree 1771 of 2012, as amended) are based on applicable Basel Committee standards. The regulations establish four categories of assets, which are each assigned different risk weights, and require that a credit institution’s Technical Capital (as defined below) be at least 9% of that institution’s total risk-weighted assets.

Technical Capital for the purposes of the regulations consists of the sum of Tier One Capital (basic capital) and Tier Two Capital (additional capital), collectively, Technical Capital. As of December 31, 2014, the consolidated ratio for our Colombian operations (calculated as BIS capital to risk-weighted assets) was 12.96%. Certain developments could affect the ability of our Colombian operations to continue to satisfy the current capital adequacy requirements applicable to each, including:

the increase of risk-weighted assets as a result of the expansion of our Colombian operations business;

the failure to increase CorpBanca Colombia’s capital;

losses resulting from a deterioration in CorpBanca Colombia’s asset quality;

declines in the value of CorpBanca Colombia’s available-for-sale investment portfolio;

goodwill and minority interest;

changes in accounting rules; and

changes in the guidelines regarding the calculation of the capital adequacy ratios of banks in Colombia.

If our Colombian operations fail to comply with the capital adequacy requirements applicable to Colombian financial institutions, we may be subject to certain penalties and sanctions that are graduated depending on the level of compliance failure, and which may include an administrative take-over by the government with the purpose of administration or liquidation. As a result, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

We are vulnerablesubject to market risk.

                        We are directly and indirectly affected by changes in local and international market conditions. Market risk, or the current disruptions and volatilityrisk of losses in positions arising from movements in market prices, is inherent in the globalproducts and instruments associated with our operations, including loans, deposits, securities, bonds, long-term debt, short-term borrowings, proprietary trading in assets and liabilities and derivatives. Changes in market conditions that may affect our financial marketscondition and results of operations include fluctuations in interest and currency exchange rates, securities prices, changes in the implied volatility of interest rates and foreign exchange rates, among others.

Our results of operations are affected by interest rate volatility and inflation rate volatility.

Our results of operations depend to a great extent on our net interest income. In 2013, 2014 and 2015, our ratio of net interest income to total operating income was 65.1%, 63.6%, and 63.0% respectively. Changes in market interest rates in Chile or Colombia could affect the past few years,interest rates earned on our interest-earning assets differently from the global financial system has experienced difficult credit and liquidity conditions and disruptionsinterest rates paid on our interest-bearing liabilities leading to less liquidity, greater volatility and general widening of spreads. Global economic conditions deteriorated significantlya reduction in the second half of 2008, andour net interest income. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many countries,factors beyond our control, including the United States, in past years have been operating in a recessionary period. Many major financial institutions, including somemonetary policies of the world’s largest global commercial banks, investment banks, mortgage lenders, mortgage guarantors and insurance companies, have also been experiencing significant difficulties.

InCentral Bank of Chile and Colombia, changes in regulation of the financial sector in Chile and Colombia, domestic and international economic and political conditions and other factors. Yields on the Chilean government’s 90-day benchmark rate reached a high of 5.1% and a low of 4.8% in 2013, a high of 4.5% and a low of 3.7% in 2014, and a high of 3.1% and a low of 1.5% in 2015. On the other hand, the Colombian government does not issue short-term bonds of 30, 60 or 90 days as the Chilean government does. Instead, every month a committee of the Central Bank of Colombia determines the benchmark rate in order to achieve a specific goal of inflation. Yields on the Colombian benchmark rate reached a high of 4.0% and a low of 3.25% for 2013, a high of 4.5% and a low of 3.25% for 2014, and a high of 5.8% and a low of 4.5% for 2015. As of December 31, 2013, 2014, and 2015, we had Ch$889,087 million, Ch$1,156,896 million, and Ch$1,924,788 million, respectively, in financial investments available-for-sale. In the current global economic recessionclimate, there is a greater degree of uncertainty and unpredictability in 2008the policy decisions and 2009 caused an increase in unemployment, a decrease in consumer spending, a decrease in real estate prices and a general decline in economic activity. However, in recent years, these economies have been demonstrating sustained growth, despite a slowdown in 2014. The gross domestic product, or GDPthe setting of interest rates by the Central Bank of Chile grew 5.6% in 2012, 4.1% in 2013 and 1.9% in 2014. The Colombian GDP grew 4% in 2012, 4.9% in 2013Central Bank of Colombia and, 4.6% in 2014.

Asas a result, of loose monetary policy established by the major central banks around the world,any volatility in interest rates have been stagnant at historically low levels. Thiscould adversely affect us, including our future financial performance and the market value of our securities. In addition, inflation rate volatility could adversely affect our net interest rate environment has led international investorsincome due to search for yield in emerging markets economies, which has boosted emerging markets asset prices. The U.S. Federal Reserve is expected to enter a monetary policy tightening cycle, which we expect will result in increased global interest rates, which could reduce international investor’s interest in emerging market assets. In the event that global risk appetite deteriorates, this deterioration could have a spillover effect on emerging markets asset prices. A material reduction in asset pricesfluctuations in the markets in which we operate could increase funding costs or deposit rates,gap between assets and could have a material adverse effect on our interest margins.liabilities that are indexed to the UF.

Increased competition and industry consolidation may adversely affect the results of our operationsoperations.

The Chilean and Colombian markets for financial services are highly competitive. competitive and competition is likely to increase.

In Chile, we face competition from banking and non-banking institutions with respect to the different products we offer. In the consumer and other loans businesses, we compete with other Chilean private sector domestic and foreign banks, Banco del Estado de Chile, a state owned bank, credit unions and public social security funds (cajas de compensación) that offer consumer and other loans to a large portion of the Chilean population. The lower-middle to middle income segments of the Chilean population and the SME segments have become the target markets of several banks, and competition in these segments is likely to increase. As a result, net interest margins in these segments have declined. Although we believe that demand for financial products and services from the lower-middle to middle income consumer market segments and for small and medium-sized companies will continue to grow during the remainder of the decade, our net interest margins may not be maintained at their current levels.

We also face competition from non-bank and non-finance competitors with respect to. In some of our credit products, such as credit cards, consumer loans, insurance brokerage,we face competition from department stores, large supermarket chains and other financial intermediaries who

are able to provide large companies with access to the capital markets as an alternative to bank loans and sell other financial products. Non-bank competition from large department stores has become increasingly significant in the consumer lending sector as many leading department store owners and operators offer consumer credit either alone or in conjunction with various financial institutions. In addition, we face competition from non-bank finance competitors, such as leasing, factoring and automobile finance companies with respect to loans and creditin the saving products and frommortgage loans businesses we compete with mutual funds, pension funds, and insurance companies with respect to savings products and mortgage loans. Banks continue to be the main suppliers of leasing, factoring and mutual funds in Chile, and the insurance sales business has seen rapid growth. Nevertheless, non-banking competition, especially department stores, are able to engage in some types of advertising and promotion in which, by virtue of Chilean banking rules and regulations, we are prohibited from engaging.

The increase in competition within the Chilean banking industry in recent years has led to consolidation in the industry. Further consolidation in the industry, which can result in the creation of larger and stronger competitors, may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations by decreasing the net interest margins we are able to generate. An increase in the prevalence of this method of financing could reduce our market share for corporate financing and adversely affect our results of operations.

Insurance companies as well aswith residential mortgage loan managers (Administradoras de Mutuos Hipotecarios) are allowed to participate and compete with banks in the residential mortgage and credit card businesses, further increasing competition in our industry.. Furthermore, under the Chilean General Banking Law,Act, representative offices of non-Chilean banks are now allowed to promote the credit products and services of their headquarters, and banks, insurance companies, retailers and other financial institutions are required to inform their customers of the all-in costs of the financial services on standardized terms allowing their customers to compare the cost of the products offered by them, all of which havehas increased, and may further increase, competition in our industry and, thus, have an adverse effect on our results of operation and financial condition.

In Colombia, we operate in a highly competitive environment and increased competitive conditions are to be expected in the jurisdictions where we operate. Intensified merger activity in the financial services industry produces larger, better capitalized and more geographically diverse firms that are capable of offering a wider array of financial products and services at more competitive prices. Our ability to maintain our competitive position in Colombia depends mainly on our ability to fulfill new customers’ needs through the development of new products and services and offer adequate services and strengthen our customer bases through cross-selling. Our Colombian operations will be adversely affected if we are not able to maintain efficient service strategies, or overcome certain delays or difficulties in the transition of the integration of the operational services and activities of CorpBanca Colombia and Helm Bank. In addition, our efforts to offer new services and products may not succeed if product or market opportunities develop more slowly than expected or if the profitability of opportunities is undermined by competitive pressures.

The effectiveness of our credit risk management is affected by the quality and scope of information available in Chile and Colombia

In assessing customers’ creditworthiness, we rely largely on the credit information available from our own internal databases, the SBIF, Dicom (a privately owned company and Chilean nationwide credit data base), the Colombian Superintendency of Finance, DataCredito (a privately owned company) and CIFIN, a division of the Colombian Banking and Financial Entities Association (Asociación Bancaria y de Entidades Financieras de Colombia), and other sources. Due to limitations in the availability of information and the developing information infrastructure in Chile and Colombia, our assessment of the credit risks associated with a particular customer may not be based on complete, accurate or reliable information. In addition, although we have been improving our credit scoring systems to better assess borrowers’ credit risk profiles, we cannot assure you that our credit scoring systems collect complete or accurate information reflecting the actual behavior of customers or that their credit risk can be assessed correctly. Without complete, accurate and reliable information, we have to rely on other publicly available resources, which may not be complete or accurate. As a result, our asset quality may be materially adversely affected.

Our risk management system may not be sufficient to avoid losses that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operationsoperations.

In addition to granting loans, part of our financial portfolio consists of trading transactions by our treasury division. Accordingly, changes in interest rates, securities prices, currency exchange rates and other indices may adversely affect our results of operations. Our financial success depends on, among other factors, our ability to accurately balance the risks we take and the returns we gain from our transactions. While we focus on the identification, analysis, managementWe use various processes to identify, analyze, manage and control of our risks,risk exposure, both in favorable and adverse market conditions. However, these processes involve subjective and complex judgments and assumptions, including projections of economic conditions there can be no assuranceand assumptions on the ability of our borrowers to repay their loans. Because of the nature of these risks, we cannot guarantee that our risk management efforts will prevent us from experiencing material losses. In particular, we may experience losses that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations if:if, among other factors:

 

we are not capable of identifying all of the risks that may affect our portfolio;

our risk analysis or our measures taken in response to such risks are inadequate or inaccurate;

 

the markets move in an unexpected and adverse way with respect to speed, direction, strength or other aspects and our ability to manage risks in such a scenario is restricted;

our clients are affected by unforeseen events resulting in their default or losses in an amount higher than those considered in our risk analyses; or

 

collateral pledged in our favor is insufficient to cover our clients’ obligations to us if they default.

SinceOur reliance on short-term deposits as our principal sourcessource of funds are short-term deposits, aexposes us to sudden shortage of funds could cause an increaseincreases in our costs of funding andwhich could have a material adverse effect on our revenuesrevenues.

Time deposits and other term deposits are our primary sources of funding, which represented 43.5%44.1% of our liabilities as of December 31, 2014.2015. If a substantial number of our depositors withdraw their demand deposits or do not roll over their time deposits upon maturity, our liquidity position, results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected. We cannot assure you that in the event of a sudden or unexpected shortage of funds, any money markets in which we operate will be able to maintain levels of funding without incurring higher funding costs or the liquidation of certain assets. If this were to happen, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

Currency fluctuations could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and the value of our securitiessecurities.

Government economicEconomic policies and any future changes in the value of the Chilean peso or the Colombian peso against the U.S. dollar could affect the dollar value of our securities, since the equity value of CorpBanca is hedged against our base currency Chilean peso. The Chilean peso and the Colombian peso have been subject to significant fluctuations in their value against the U.S. Dollar in the past and could be subject to similar fluctuations in the future. As of December 31, 2011, the Chilean peso depreciated against the U.S. dollar by 11% and the Colombian peso depreciated against the U.S. dollar by 1.5%, each as compared to December 31, 2010. As of December 31, 2012, the Chilean peso appreciated against the U.S. dollar by 7.7% and the Colombian peso appreciated against the U.S. dollar by 9%, each as compared to December 31, 2011. As of December 31, 2013, the Chilean peso depreciated against the U.S. dollar by 9.9% and the Colombian peso depreciated against the U.S. dollar by 8.9%, each as compared to December 31, 2012. As of December 31, 2014, the Chilean peso depreciated against the U.S. dollar by 15.0% and the Colombian peso depreciated against the U.S. dollar by 24.3%, each as compared to December 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2015, the Chilean peso depreciated against the U.S. dollar by 17.3% and the Colombian peso depreciated against the U.S. dollar by 31.1%, each as compared to December 31, 2014.

Our results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in exchange rates between and among the Chilean peso, the Colombian peso and the U.S. dollar despite our internal policy and Chilean and Colombian regulations relating to the general avoidance of material exchange rate gaps. As of December 31, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2014,2015, the gap between foreign currency denominated assets and foreign currency denominated liabilities, excluding derivatives, was Ch$(444,175)(23,560), Ch$(23,560) million, Ch$241,832 million, Ch$434,942 million, Ch$(26,191) million and Ch$(26,191)(497,644) million, respectively.

We may decide to change our policy regarding exchange rate gaps. Regulations that limit such gaps may also be amended or eliminated. Greater exchange rate gaps could increase our exposure to the devaluation of the Chilean peso andand/or the Colombian peso, and any such devaluation may impair our capacity to service our foreign-currency obligations and may, therefore, materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Notwithstanding the existence of general policies and regulations that limit material exchange rate gaps, the economic policies of the Chilean or the Colombian governments and any future fluctuations of the Chilean peso or the Colombian peso against the dollar could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Trading transactions in Chile of the common shares underlying our ADSs are denominated in Chilean pesos. Cash distributions with respect to our common shares are received in Chilean pesos by the depositary, which then converts such amounts to U.S. dollars at the then-prevailing exchange rate for the purpose of making payments in respect of our ADSs. If the value of the Chilean peso falls relative to the U.S. dollar, the U.S. dollar value of our ADSs and any distributions to be received from the depositary will be reduced. In addition, the depositary will incur customary currency conversion costs (to be borne by the holders of our ADSs) in connection with the conversion and subsequent distribution of dividends or other payments.

Our business is highly dependent on proper functioning and improvement of information technology systemssystems.

Our business is highly dependent on the ability of our information technology systems to accurately process a large number of transactions across numerous and diverse markets and products in a timely manner. The proper functioning of our financial control, risk management, accounting, customer service and other data processing systems is critical to our business and our ability to compete effectively. We have backup data for our key data processing systems that could be used in the event of a catastrophe or a failure of our primary systems, and have established alternative communication networks where available. However, we cannot assure you that

our business activities would not be materially disrupted if there were a partial or complete failure of any of these primary information technology systems or communication networks. Such failures could be caused by, among other things, software bugs, computer virus attacks, cyber attacks or conversion errors due to system upgrading. In addition, any security breach caused by unauthorized access to information or systems, intentional malfunctions or loss or corruption of data, software, hardware or other computer equipment, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our ability to remain competitive and achieve further growth will depend in part on our ability to upgrade our information technology systems and increase our capacity on a timely and cost effective basis. Any substantial failure to improve or upgrade information technology systems effectively or on a timely basis could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our business in Colombia is dependent on a technology service agreement with Banco Santander, S.A.

We entered into a technology service agreement with Banco Santander, S.A. in connection with the Banco Santander Colombia Acquisition. The original term of the technology service agreement was to expire in June 2015; however, we exercised an option to extend the term of such agreement for an additional year term through June 2016. In connection with our exercise of the option to extend this agreement, we secured the right to an additional extension, and as such have the right to extend the term of this technology service agreement through June 2017. Our business in Colombia is dependent on the service and support of a subsidiary of Banco Santander S.A., provided to us pursuant to thea technology service agreement. This technology service agreement was extended and expires at the end of December

2016 unless we exercise our option to extend its term through June 2017. If Banco Santander, S.A. is unable to service and support our business in Colombia or if we are unable to integrate our information technology systems into our business in Colombia after the expiration of the technology service agreement, then such failure could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our inability to attract, develop or retain qualified employees, managers and executives could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations

Our ability to maintain our competitive position and implement our growth strategy is dependent on our ability to attract, develop and retain qualified employees, managers and executives. Following the pending Itaú-CorpBanca Merger (as defined below), Itaú Unibanco and Inversiones Corpgroup Interhold Limitada (our holding company), together with certain affiliates of the latter, or, collectively, CorpGroup, are expected to sign a shareholders agreement to define the agreement of these parties with respect to certain matters related to corporate governance, dividend policy, transfer of shares and liquidity among others, or the Itaú-CorpBanca Shareholders Agreement. The Itaú-CorpBanca Shareholders Agreement provides that Itaú Unibanco and CorpGroup will collectively be entitled to appoint the majority of the members of our board of directors. Additionally, Itaú Unibanco will be able to appoint the chief executive officer, or CEO. Our success is also dependent on our ability to attract, train, develop and retain talented, diverse employees. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in attracting and retaining qualified personnel either before or after the Itaú-CorpBanca Merger. The loss of certain members of our senior management or our inability to retain and attract additional personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

A worsening of labor relations in Chile or Colombia could impact our businessbusiness.

As of December 31, 2014,2015, on a consolidated basis we had 3,7403,838 employees in Chile (including 2627 at our New York Branch), of which 56%54.2% were unionized and 3,7163,707 employees in Colombia, of which 17.7%20.2% were unionized. On August 1, 2014 we entered into a newWe are parties to collective bargaining agreement which provides for improved benefits for theagreements with unions representing our employees in Chile and will be in force for a four year period.Colombia. CorpBanca Colombia’s current labor agreement with its 15eigthteen unions in Colombia was subscribed on September 14, 2013August 26, 2015 and expires on August 31, 2015.2017. We generally apply the relevant terms of our collective bargaining agreement to unionized and non-unionized employees.employees in each of the markets in which we operate. We have traditionally enjoyed good relations with our employees and their unions, but we cannot assure you that in the futureunions. However, a strengthening of cross-industry labor movements will notmay result in increased employee or labor costs that could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

On December 29, 2014, the Chilean government proposed a labor reform bill to the Chilean Congress, or the Labor Reform, which intends to substantially modify rules applicable to collective bargaining, including our unionized Chilean employees. The principal proposals included in this bill are to (1) prohibit employers, including us, from hiring replacement employees in the event of a worker strike affecting the business, and (2) ensure a minimum level of benefits. Additionally, the bill prohibits the workers from negotiating and entering into collective bargaining agreements directly with employers outside of established unions. Instead, workers will be required to organize collective bargaining efforts through established union. The bill is expected to be enacted as law during the secondfirst half of 2015,2016, in which case it will become effectivelyeffective a year after its publication in the Official Gazette. If this bill becomes law, the effects of any strike or collective bargaining efforts by our employees in Chile could have a negative impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

We rely on third parties for important products and services

Third party vendors provide key components of our business infrastructure such as different loan servicing systems, internet connections and network access. Any problems caused by these third parties, including as a result of their not providing us their services for any reason or their performing their services poorly, could adversely affect our ability to deliver products and services to customers and otherwise to conduct business. Replacing these third party vendors could also entail significant delays and expense and could negatively impact our business.

We may experience operational problems, errors or errorsfraud.

We are exposed to many types of operational risks, including the risk of fraud by employees and outsiders, failure to obtain proper authorizations, failure to properly document transactions, equipment failures and errors by employees. Although we maintain a system of operational controls, there can be no assurances that operational problems or errors will not occur and that their occurrence will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing measures may not prevent third parties from using us as a conduit for those activities, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operationsoperations.

We believe that we are in compliancerequired to comply with applicable anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing laws and regulations and we have adopted various policies and procedures, including internal controls and “know-your customer” procedures, aimed at preventing money laundering and terrorist financing. In addition, because we also rely on our correspondent banks having their own appropriate anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing procedures, we use what we believe are commercially reasonable procedures for monitoring our correspondent banks. However, these measures, procedures and compliance may not be entirely effective in preventing third parties from using us (and our correspondent banks) as a conduit for money laundering (including illegal cash operations) or terrorist financing without our (and our correspondent banks’) knowledge or consent. If we were to be associated with money laundering (including illegal cash operations) or terrorist financing, our reputation could be harmed and we could become subject to fines, sanctions or legal enforcement (including being added to any “blacklists” that would prohibit certain parties from engaging in transactions with us), which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation.

Banking regulations in Chile may restrict our operations and thereby adversely affect our financial condition and results of operationsoperations.

We are subject to regulation in the markets in which we operate, including by the SBIF. In addition, we are subject to regulationSBIF and by the Central Bank of Chile with regard to certain matters, including reserve requirements, interest rates, foreign exchange mismatchesin Chile and market risks. During the Chilean financial crisis of 1982 and 1983,by the Central Bank of ChileColombia, the Colombian Ministry of Finance, the Colombian Superintendency of Finance, the Superintendency of Industry and Commerce (Superintendencia de Industria y Comercio), or SIC, and the SBIF strictly controlledSelf-Regulatory Organization (Autorregulador del Mercado de Valores-AMV), or the funding, lending and general business matters of the banking industrySRO in Chile.Colombia.

Pursuant to the Chilean General Banking Law, all Chilean banksAct in Chile and the Financial System Organic Act (Estatuto Orgánico del Sistema Financiero) in Colombia, we may, subject to the approval ofnecessary regulatory approvals, engage in the SBIF, engagecommercial banking business and in certain businesses in addition to traditional commercial banking depending on the risk associated with such business and their financial strength.banking. Such additional businesses may include securities brokerage, mutual fund management, securitization, insurance brokerage, leasing, factoring, financial advisory, custody and transportation of securities, loan collection and financial services. There can be no assurance that regulators will notRegulators may in the future impose more restrictive limitations on the activities of banks, including us. The Chilean General Banking Law also applies to the Chilean financial system, which is a modified version of the

New capital adequacy guidelines issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Regulation and Supervisory Practices and limits the discretion of the SBIF to deny new banking licenses.

If enacted, new regulationsrequirements could require us to inject further capital into our business as well as in businesses we acquire, or to capitalize dividends, restrict the type or volume of transactions we enter into, or set limits on or require the change of rates or fees that we charge on certain loans or other products, any of which could lower the return on our investments, assets and equity. We may also face increased compliance costs and limitations on our ability to pursue certain business opportunities.

Historically, Chilean banks have not paid interest on amounts deposited in checking accounts. However, since June 1, 2002, the Central Bank of Chile has allowed banks to pay interest on checking accounts. We have begun to pay interest on some checking accounts under certain conditions. If competition or other factors lead us to pay higher interest rates on checking accounts, to relax the conditions under which we pay interest or to increase the number of checking accounts on which we pay interest, such a change could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

CorpBanca must maintain a capital adequacy index of at least 10%8% calculated pursuant to the guidelines issued by the Superintendency of Banks and Financial Institutions. This index must be complied with both on the closing date of an acquisition, as well as for at least a year thereafter.SBIF. In line with the future adoption of Basel III regulations in Chile, the SBIF has maintained a proposal to increase the minimum effective BIS capital adequacy ratio from the current 8% to 10.5%. This change requires an amendment to the Chilean General Banking LawAct by Congress, and when adopted, could require us to inject additional capital in our business in the future. The SBIF has not issued any timetable for adoption of Basel III but has issued guidance to Chilean banks regarding the adoption of Basel III for 2019. Although we have not failed in the past to comply with our capital maintenance obligations, there can be no assurance that we will not do so in the future.

As a result of the 2008 global financial crisis, there has been an increase in government regulation of the financial services industry in many countries. Such regulation may also be increased in Chile and/or in Colombia, including the imposition of higher capital requirements, heightened disclosure standards and restrictions on certain types of transaction structures. In addition, numerous novel regulatory proposals have been discussed or proposed. If enacted, new regulations could require us to inject further capital into our business, restrict the type or volume of transactions we enter into, or set limits on or require the modification of rates or fees that we charge on certain loans or other products, any of which could lower the return on our investments, assets and equity. We may also face increased compliance costs and limitations on our ability to pursue certain business opportunities.

BankingThe banking regulatory and capital markets environment in which operate is continually evolving and may change.

Changes in banking regulations in Colombia may restrict our Colombian operationsmaterially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operationsoperations. Chilean laws, regulations, policies and interpretations of laws relating to the financial system are continually evolving and changing.

OurIn Chile, new regulations have been enacted in the past years which have, among others things,(a) increased the limit on the amount that a bank is allowed to grant as an unsecured loan to a single individual or entity (currently set at 10% of its regulatory capital and up to 30% of its regulatory capital if any loans granted in excess of the 10% are secured by certain collateral, for persons non related to the bank and at 5% or 25% if loans in excess of 5% are secured by certain collateral, for certain groups of persons related to the bank),(b) allowed marketing and promotion activities of credit products and services by non-Chilean banks with representative offices in Chile,(c)strengthened consumers’ rights in connection with financial products and services; and(d)lowered the maximum legal interest rate that can be imposed in general loans valued at over UF 200. These amendments have affected the Chilean banking industry in several ways including by increasing competition, increasing the risks associated with the growth of loan portfolios, providing additional scrutiny regarding prices and contracts for financial products and have caused a loss of flexibility in the determination of price and product distribution strategies in the retail banking segment.

Colombia has also experienced recent changes in applicable laws, regulations and policies, such as those regulating collateral and foreclosure, financial inclusion and consumer protection. In 2013, a new regulation regarding liens over movable assets was enacted which may affect our rights to foreclose on or liquidate movable assets pledged in favor of our Colombian operationssubsidiaries. This new law created a new registry for liens over movable assets, pursuant to which, secured creditors –including us- had to register liens granted on their favor before the enactment of the law. There is a risk that third parties with conflicting liens may also try to obtain registration over the same assets, in which case the first party to register a lien will have priority over any others. In order to promote financial inclusion, the Colombian Congress passed Law No. 1,735 of 2014 which created a new type of financial entity called Specialized Electronic Deposit and Payment Institutions (Sociedades Especializadas en Depósitos y Pagos Electrónicos) as a new deposit-taking entity form that can be incorporated by a natural person, postal service offices and/or mobile network operator or another non-bank company. The Specialized Electronic Deposit and Payment Institutions are regulated financial services providers subject to financial regulation byand supervision. The only activities these entities are authorized to perform are remote cash-in and cash-out deposit operations, the Central Bankallocation of Colombia, the Colombian Ministry of Finance, or Colombian Ministry of Finance, the Colombian Superintendency of Finance, the Superintendency of Industry and Commerce (Superintendencia de Industria y Comercio), or SIC,customers’ funds in electronic deposit accounts and the Self-Regulatory Organization (Autorregulador del Mercado de Valores-AMV),offering of transactional services such

as remittances, transfers, and payments. This change increases the potential source of competition in Colombia and may impart our ability to acquire new customers or the SRO.

Colombian regulation has evolved from an absolute separation of financial activities between different and separate entities (adopted back in the 1980’s) to an intermediate scheme of multibanking approach, This new scheme was introduced byretain existing customers. Additionally, Law No. 1,328 of 2009, known asamended in 2014, created a customer protection regime with respect to financial institutions. This regime strengthened the Financial Reform. Pursuantrights of consumers of financial services and products and set forth specific obligations for financial institutions. Any violation of this law or regulations issued pursuant to Article 7this law by CorpBanca Colombia could result in monetary or administrative sanctions or restrictions on its operations.

Any of the Financial Organic Statute (Estatuto Orgánico del Sistema Financiero as amended by the above-mentioned law), Colombian banks may engage in the commercial banking businessregulatory changes mentioned above or their applicability or interpretation, and in certain businesses in addition to traditional commercial banking, including leasing activities.

There can be no assurance that regulators will not in the future impose more restrictive limitationsregulatory activity could have an adverse effect on the activities of banks, including our operations in Colombia.

Capital adequacy requirements for Colombianand financial institutions could require us to inject further capital into our Colombian operations, or to capitalize dividends, or restrict the type or volume of transactions we enter into, which may lower the return of our investments, assets and equity. We may also face increased compliance costs and limitations on our ability to pursue certain business opportunities.

Although the Colombian government has since 2009 enacted laws purporting to provide for convergence of Colombian accounting principles with IFRS, current regulations continue to differ in certain respects from IFRS. As of January 1, 2015, financial institutions and other supervised entities were required to switch to these Colombian adapted IFRS standard, or Colombian IFRS. Therefore, in 2014 we prepared financial statements based on both current Colombian GAAP and on Colombian IFRS for comparative purposes in the future. Such switch to Colombian IFRS may adversely impact our capacity to distribute dividends and the profits of our Colombian operations.

As a result of the 2008 global financial crisis and worldwide trends, there has been an increase in government regulation of the financial services industry in many countries. Such regulation may also be increased in Colombia, including the imposition of higher capital requirements, heightened disclosure standards and restrictions on certain types of transaction structures. In addition, numerous novel regulatory proposals have been discussed or proposed. If enacted, new regulations could require us to inject further capital into our business in Colombia, restrict the type or volume of transactions we enter into, or set limits on or require the modification of rates or fees that we charge on certain loans or other products, any of which could lower the return on our investments, assets and equity. We may also face increased compliance costs and limitations on our ability to pursue certain business opportunities.condition.

We are subject to regulatory inspections, examinations and examinationsto the imposition of fines by regulatory authorities in Chile and in Colombia.

We are also subject to various inspections, examinations, inquiries, audits and other regulatory requirements by Chilean and Colombian regulatory authorities.

We cannot assure you that we will be able to meet all of the applicable regulatory requirements and guidelines, or that we will not be subject to other sanctions, fines, restrictions on our business or other penalties in the future as a result of noncompliance. If other sanctions, fines, restrictions on our business or other penalties are imposed on us for failure to comply with applicable requirements, guidelines or regulations, our business, financial condition, results of operations and our reputation and ability to engage in business may be materially and adversely affected.

Pursuant to letter No. 16191, the SBIF fined the bank for an alleged infringement to the individual lending limits provided by article 84 No. 1, in relation to article 85 of the Chilean General Banking Act. The total amount was Ch$21,765 million. In an extraordinary meeting on January 4, 2016, the bank’s board of directors agreed: to communicate the letter as a material event, expressing disagreement with the alleged infringement and to instruct management to exercise each and every legal action in order to obtain the annulment of the fine.

On January 8, 2016, the bank paid the full amount of the fine as a mandatory condition precedent to exercise its appeal rights. However, no provision was made as of December 31, 2015 as management believes that it is probable that the fine will be annulled through the appeal process.

On January 18, 2016, CorpBanca brought an action before the Santiago Court of Appeals seeking the annulment of the fine. As of today, the court has not issued its ruling. We cannot assure you that a decision will be made in our favor. A final, non-appealable decision that is adverse to our claims may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Failure to protect personal information could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operationsoperations.

We manage and hold confidential personal information of customers in the conduct of our banking operations, and offer various internet-based services to our clients, including online banking services. We could be liable for breaches of security in our online banking services, including cybersecurity breaches. The secure transmission of confidential information over the Internet is essential to maintain our clients’ confidence in our online services. In certain cases, we are responsible for protecting customers’ proprietary information as well as their accounts with us. We have security measures and processes in place to defend against these cybersecurity risks but these cyber attacks are rapidly evolving (including computer viruses, malicious code, phishing or other

information security breaches), and we may not be able to anticipate or prevent all such attacks, which could result in the unauthorized release, gathering, monitoring, misuse, loss or destruction of our or our customers’ confidential, proprietary and other information. Individuals may also seek to intentionally disrupt our online banking services or compromise the confidentiality of customer information with criminal intent. Although we have procedures and controls to safeguard personal information in our possession, as well as systems and processes that are designed to recognize and assist in preventing security breaches, failure to protect against or mitigate breaches of security or other unauthorized disclosures could constitute a breach of privacy or other laws, subject us to legal actions and administrative sanctions as well as damages, adversely affect our ability to offer and grow our online services, result in the loss of customer relationships, negatively impact our reputation, and have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our loan and investment portfolios are subject to risk of prepayment, which may result in reinvestment of assets on less profitable termsterms.

Our loan and investment portfolios are subject to prepayment risk, which results from the ability of a borrower or issuer to pay a debt obligation prior to maturity. Generally, in a declining interest rate environment, prepayment activity increases, which reduces the weighted average lives of our earning assets and adversely affects our operating results. Prepayment risk also has an adverse impact on our residential mortgage portfolio, since prepayments could shorten the weighted average life of this portfolio,

which may result in a mismatch in funding or in reinvestment at lower yields. Prepayment risk is inherent to our commercial activity and an increase in prepayments could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Exposure to government debt could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operationsoperations.

We invest in debt securities issued by the Chilean and Colombian governments, the Central Bank of Chile and the Chilean Ministry of Finance that, for the most part, are short-term and highly liquid instruments. As of December 31, 2014, 2.7%2015, 3.8% of our total assets comprised of securities issued by the Chilean government and 4.8%3.9% of our total assets comprised securities issued by foreign governments, mostly by the Colombian government. If the Chilean or Colombian governments default on the timely payment of such securities, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

A further downgrade of CorpBanca’s counterparty credit rating by international or domestic credit rating agencies could materially and adversely affect our debt credit rating for domestic and international debt, our business, our future financial performance, stockholders’ equity and the value of our securitiessecurities.

On August 23, 2013, following the Helm Bank Acquisition, Standard and Poor’s Ratings Services, or Standard and Poor’s, downgraded CorpBanca’s long-term issuer credit rating from BBB+ to BBB. On December 6, 2013, Moody’s Investors Service, or Moody’s, downgraded CorpBanca’s global, local and foreign currency deposit and debt ratings to Baa3 from Baa2, following placement by Moody’s on review for downgrade on August 30, 2013 in connection with our association with our affiliate, SMU S.A., or SMU. Following the announcement of the Itaú-CorpBanca Merger, Standard & Poor´s placed CorpBanca BBB/A-2 ratings on CreditWatch Developing and Moody’s changed our rating review direction to ‘possible upgrade’, from ‘review for downgrade’, on our long and short term ratings, on January 14 and January 31, 2014, respectively. On August 29, 201420, 2015 and on March 31,June 15, 2015, Standard and Poor’s and Moody’s, respectively, confirmed the aforementioned ratings.

Any adverse revision to CorpBanca’s credit ratings in Chile or Colombia for domestic and international debt by international and domestic rating agencies may adversely affect our debt ratings, and, as a result, our cost of funding, including interest rates paid on our deposits and securities. If this were to happen, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, future financial performance, stockholders’ equity and the value of our securities.

Mismatches in the maturity of our loan portfolio and our funding sources as well as exchange rate fluctuations related to our funding sources could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and our capacity to expand our loan businessbusiness.

We are exposed to maturity mismatches between our loans and sources of funding. The majority of our loan portfolio consists of fixed interest rate loans, and the yield from our loans depends on our ability to balance our cost of funding with the interest rates we charge to our borrowers. An increase in market interest rates in Chile or Colombia could increase our cost of funding, especially the cost of time deposits, and could reduce the spread we earn on our loans, materially and adversely affecting our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Any mismatch between the maturity of our loan portfolio and our sources of funding would magnify the effect of any imbalance in interest rates, also representing a liquidity risk if we fail to obtain funding on an ongoing basis. In addition, since part of our funding comes from securities denominated in U.S. dollars or other foreign currencies that we issue abroad, any devaluation of the Chilean or Colombian peso against the U.S. dollar or such other foreign currencies could increase the cost of funding in relation to these securities. An increase in our total cost of funds for any of these reasons could result in an increase in the interest rates on our loans, which could, as a result, affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to attract new customers and expand our loan business.

We are subject to financial and operational risks associated with derivative transactionstransactions.

We enter into derivative transactions primarily to deliver services to our clients, for hedging purposes and, on a limited basis, for trading purposes. These transactions are subject to market, liquidity, counterparty (the risk of insolvency or other inability of a counterparty to perform its obligations to us) and operational risks.

Market practices and documentation for derivative transactions in Chile and Colombia may differ from those in other countries. For example, documentation may not incorporate terms and conditions of derivatives transactions as commonly understood in other countries. In addition, the execution and performance of these transactions depends on our ability to develop adequate control and administration systems and to hire and retain qualified personnel. Moreover, our ability to monitor and analyze these transactions depends on our information technology systems. These factors may further increase risks associated with derivative transactions and, if they are not adequately controlled, could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Our level of insurance might not be sufficient to fully cover all liabilities that may arise in the course of our business and insurance coverage might not be available in the futurefuture.

We maintain insurance for losses resulting from fire, explosions, floods and electrical shorts and outages at our various buildings and facilities. We also have civil liability insurance covering material and physical losses and damages that may be suffered by third parties. We cannot assure you that our level of insurance is sufficient to fully cover all liabilities that may arise in the course of our business or that insurance will continue to be available in the future. In addition, we may not be able to obtain insurance on comparable terms in the future. Our business and results of operations may be adversely affected if we incur liabilities that are not fully covered by our insurance policies.

The occurrence of natural disasters in the regions where we operate could impair our ability to conduct business effectively and could adversely affect our results of operationsoperations.

We are exposed to the risk of natural disasters such as earthquakes or tsunamis as well as floods, mudslides and volcanic eruptions in the regions where we operate. In the event of a natural disaster, unanticipated problems with our disaster recovery systems could have a material adverse impact on our ability to conduct business in the affected region, particularly if those problems affect our computer-based data processing, transmission, storage and retrieval systems and destroy valuable data. In addition, if a significant number of our local employees and managers were unavailable in the event of a disaster, our ability to effectively conduct business could be severely compromised. A natural disaster, such as the earthquake and tsunami that affected Chile in 2010, could damage some of our branches and automated teller machines, or ATMs, forcing us to close damaged facilities or locations, increased recovery costs as well as cause economic harm to our clients. A natural disaster or multiple catastrophic events could have a material adverse effect on local businesses in the affected region and could result in substantial volatility or adverse harm in our business, financial condition and results of operations for any fiscal quarter or year.

Future economic conditions may make it more difficult for us to continue funding our business on favorable terms

Historically, one of our principal sources of funds has been time deposits. Time deposits and other term deposits represented 56.1%, 59%, 61.4%, 46.6% and 43.5% of our total liabilities as of December 31, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014, respectively. Large-denominations in time deposits from institutional investors may, under some circumstances, be a less stable source of funding than savings and bonds, such as during periods of significant changes in market interest rates for these types of deposit products and any resulting increased competition for such funds.

Deceleration of economic growth in Asia, Europe the United States and other developed nations may have an adverse effect on the Chilean economy, on our business, financial condition and results of operations and the market value of our securities

We are directly exposed to risks related to the weakness and volatility of the economic and political situation in Asia, the United States and other developed nations, including the downgrade of the U.S. credit rating and the economic crisis in Europe. If these nations’ economic environments deteriorate, the economies in Chile and Colombia could also be affected and could experience slower growth than in recent years thereby adversely affecting our business, financial condition and results of operations as well as the market value of our securities.

RISKS RELATING TO CHILE, COLOMBIA AND OTHER COUNTRIES IN WHICH WE OPERATE

The banking regulatory and capital markets environment in Chile and Colombia is continually evolving and may change

Changes in banking regulations may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Chilean laws, regulations, policies and interpretations of laws relating to the financial system are continually evolving and changing. In 2007, new regulations governing the Chilean capital markets, calledReforma al Mercado de Capitales II, or MK2, were approved. These regulations, among other things, modified certain provisions set forth in Chilean General Banking Law. Under new legislation, the limit on the amount that a bank is allowed to grant as an unsecured loan to a single individual or entity was increased to 10% of its regulatory capital (and up to 30% of its regulatory capital if any loans granted in excess of the 10% are secured by certain collateral). Previously, these limits were set at 5% and 2.5%, respectively. This limit is set at 5% for certain persons related to the bank (or 25% if loans in excess of 5% are secured by certain collateral). Although any such increase may increase our lending activity, it may also increase the risks associated with the growth of our loan portfolio and increase competition as the number of banks that can compete in the corporate banking sector increases.

In June 2010, additional regulations governing the Chilean capital markets, calledReforma al Mercado de Capitales III, or MK3, were approved. MK3, among other things, allows non-Chilean banks with representative offices in Chile to directly promote the credit products and services of their parent companies. Previously, these representative offices could only act as intermediaries between their parent companies and local companies. This change has increased competition by increasing the number of banks that can compete directly in Chile.

In December 2011, the Chilean Consumer Protection Act (Ley de Derechos de los Consumidores) was amended to include provisions applicable to financial products and services. Pursuant to this amendment, any agreement for financial products or services between a bank and a customer must expressly provide for certain customer rights and protections, including but not limited to (i) a detailed breakdown of all direct and indirect charges, fees, costs and tariffs that form part of the price of the relevant product or service, including any such charges, fees, costs and tariffs that are part of other products or services simultaneously contracted; (ii) the events of default that may trigger a bank’s right of early termination, a reasonable cure period and the manner by which consumers are to be informed of any such early termination; and (iii) a customer’s right of early termination in its sole and absolute discretion (subject to such customer’s payment in full all of its obligations under the agreement, including any costs arising from such early termination). In addition, the amendment sets forth certain additional customer rights and protections, including, but not limited to, the right to (1) receive information about the total cost of any financial product or service, (2) be informed of the bank’s reasons for rejecting a customer application for a financial product or service and (3) be informed of any non-discretionary conditions to which a customer’s access to a particular financial product or services are subject. This amendment, also established a new dispute resolution mechanism, which provides for both mediation and arbitration. In addition, in March 2012, a bill aimed at giving additional enforcement powers to the SERNAC (Chile’s Consumer Protection Agency) regarding financial services became effective giving SERNAC further powers to supervise and regulate bank products and services. This amendment has also resulted in additional scrutiny regarding prices and contracts for financial products and services, making it more difficult to raise prices and increasing competition among bank and non-bank competitors. The Consumer Protection Act has had an adverse effect on the Chilean finance industry, particularly the banking industry as a consequence of the loss of flexibility in the determination of price and product distribution strategies in the retail banking segment.

In February 2012, Law No. 20,575 (Ley DICOM) was enacted in Chile to restrict the use of private and personal economic, financial, banking and commercial information of customers supplementing Law No. 19,628 on Protection of Privacy.

In December 2013, Law No. 20,715, the Loan Debtors Protection Act, or the Loan Debtors Protection Act, was enacted in Chile. This new law, among other things, lowered the maximum legal interest rate that can be imposed in general loans valued at over UF 200, and established different loans segments, depending on the amount of the loan, its maturity, currency denomination and inflation adjustability. Each loan segment has a different maximum legal interest rate. The Loan Debtors Protection Act also limited the amounts creditors may charge for collections costs.

Colombian laws, regulations, policies and interpretations of laws relating to the financial system are also continually evolving and changing. In 2013, a new regulation regarding liens over movable assets was enacted (Colombian Law No. 1,676) in Colombia which may affect our rights to foreclose on or liquidate movable assets pledged in favor of our Colombian subsidiaries. This new law created a new registry for liens over movable assets. Creditors registering liens are granted priority based on the date of registration of the liens in the new registry. This “first in time, first in right” rule also applies to those liens granted before the enactment of the law. We are currently registering liens granted in our favor prior to the enactment of this law, however, there is a risk that third parties with conflicting liens may also try to obtain registration over the same assets, in which case the first party to register a lien will have priority over any others. In addition, given the recent enactment of this law, there is uncertainty as to how the law will be interpreted and applied, including how movable assets underlying the securities will be valued by the registry.

In October 2014, the Colombian Congress passed Law No. 1,735 of 2014 to promote financial inclusion and increase penetration of the banking sector. The Law created a new type of financial entity called the Specialized Electronic Deposit and Payment Institutions (Sociedades Especializadas en Depósitos y Pagos Electrónicos) as a new deposit-taking entity form that can be incorporated by a natural person, postal service offices and/or mobile network operator or another non-bank company. The

Specialized Electronic Deposit and Payment Institutions are regulated financial services providers subject to financial regulation and supervision. The only activities these entities are authorized to perform are remote cash-in and cash-out deposit operations, the allocation of customers’ funds in electronic deposit accounts and the offering of transactional services such as remittances, transfers, and payments. This change increases the potential source of competition in Colombia and may impart our ability to acquire new customers or retain existing customers.

Any of the regulatory changes listed above could have an adverse effect on our operations in Chile or Colombia respectively.

Chile has different corporate disclosure and accounting standards than those you may be familiar with in the United StatesStates.

As a regulated financial institution, we are required to submit to the SBIF unaudited consolidated and unconsolidated balance sheets and income statements excluding any related footnote disclosure, on a monthly basis. As of January 2008, the statements have to be prepared in accordance with Circular No. 3,410 “Compendiumthe Compendium of Accounting Standards”Standards (Compendio de Normas Contables y Manual del Sistema de Información), or the Compendium, and the rules of the SBIF. The SBIF also makes summary financial information available the first Thursday of the subsequent month after each monthly closing. Although Chilean banks are required to apply IFRS as issued by the IASB as of January 1, 2009, certain exceptions introduced by the SBIF prevent banks from achieving full convergence, for example loan loss provisions, assets received in lieu of payment among others. Also, the SBIF is vested with the authority to issue specific orders to banks, including on accounting matters. In those situations which are not addressed by the guidance issued by the SBIF, institutions must follow the generally accepted accounting principles issued by the Association of Chilean Accountants, which coincide with IFRS as issued by the IASB. However, our consolidated annual financial statements as of and for the three years ended December 31, 20142015 have been prepared in accordance with IFRS in order to comply with SEC requirements.

Our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012 incorporate the financial statements of CorpBanca, its subsidiaries (except Helm Bank) and the New York Branch. Our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013 incorporate the financial statements of CorpBanca, all of its subsidiaries and the New York Branch. Our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014 incorporate the financial statements of CorpBanca, all of its subsidiaries and the New York Branch. Our consolidated financial statements include the necessary adjustments and reclassifications to the incorporated financial statements of each of CorpBanca’s subsidiaries and the New York Branch to bring their accounting policies and valuation criteria into line with those applied by the Bank, in accordance with IFRS-IASB.

The securities laws of Chile, which govern open or publicly listed companies such as ours, have as one of their principal objectives promoting disclosure of all material corporate information to the public. Chilean disclosure requirements, however, differ from those in the United States in some important respects. In addition, although Chilean law imposes restrictions on insider trading and price manipulation, applicable Chilean laws are different from those in the United States and in certain respects the Chilean securities markets are not as highly regulated and supervised as the United States securities markets.

Chile imposes controls on foreign investment and repatriation of investments that may affect our investors’ investment in, and earnings from, our ADSsADSs.

Equity investments in Chile by personsInvestors who are not Chilean residents have generally been subject to various exchange control regulations which restrict the repatriation of the investments and earnings therefrom. In April 2001, the Central Bank of Chile eliminated the regulations that affected foreign investors except that investors are still required to provide the Central Bank of Chile with information related to equity investments and conduct such operations within the Formal Exchange Market. See “Item 10. Additional Information—D. Exchange Controls” for a discussion of the types of information required to be provided.

Owners of ADSs are entitled to receive dividends on the underlying shares to the same extent as the holders of shares. Dividends received by holders of ADSs will be converted into U.S. dollars and distributed net of foreign currency exchange fees and fees of the depositary and will be subject to Chilean withholding tax, currently imposed at a rate of 35% (subject to credits in certain cases). If for any reason, including changes in Chilean laws or regulations, the depositary were unable to convert Chilean pesos to U.S. dollars, investors in our ADSs may receive dividends and other distributions, if any, in Chilean pesos.

Additional Chilean restrictions applicable to holders of our ADSs, the disposition of the shares underlying them or the repatriation of the proceeds from such disposition or the payment of dividends could be imposed in the future and we cannot advise you as to the duration or impact of such restrictions, if imposed.

The legal restrictions on the exposure of Chilean pension funds may adversely affect our access to fundingfunding.

Chilean regulations impose restrictions on the share of assets that a Chilean pension fund management company (Administradora de Fondos de Pensiones, or AFP) may allocate: (i) per fund (considering all sub-funds within an AFP (A, B, C, D or E)), to deposits in checking accounts and term deposit accounts and in debt securities issued by a single banking institution (or guaranteed by such bank). These investments must not exceed the value of a multiple set forth by the Central Bank of Chile, which shall fluctuate between 0.5 and 1.5 multiplied by such bank’s equity (patrimonio) (1.0 as of December 31, 2013); (ii) per type of sub-

fund,sub-fund, to shares, deposits, derivatives and debt securities of a single banking institution (or guaranteed by such bank); investments which must not exceed 9% of the value of the relevant sub-fund; and (iii) per fund (considering all sub-funds), to shares issued by a single banking institution, investments not exceeding 2.5% of the value of such banking institution’s subscribed shares with a maximum limit equal to 2.5% of the value of each with respect to banks in which a shareholder owns directly or indirectly more than 50% and less than 65% of its voting capital.institution. Additionally, each fund managed by an AFP is permitted to make deposits with a bank for an amount not to exceed the equivalent of such bank’s equity. If the exposure of a pension fund managed by an AFP to a single bank exceeds such limit for investments in securities, the AFP for such pension fund is required to reduce the fund’s exposure below the limit within three years.

As of December 31, 2014,2015, the aggregate exposure of AFPs to us was Ch$861,605967,726 million or 0.87%0.89% of their total assets. If the exposure of any AFP to us exceeds the regulatory limit, we would need to seek alternative sources of funding, which could be more expensive and, as a consequence, may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Pension funds must also comply with other investment limits. In 2007, MK2 was approved, relaxing the limits on making investments abroad in order to permit pension funds to further diversify their investment portfolios. As of December 31, 2014, the maximum limit on making certain types of investments abroad was 80% (per fund, with different limits per each sub-fund). As a result, pension funds may change the composition of their portfolios, including reducing their deposits with local banks. As of December 31, 2014, 3.9% of our time deposits were from AFPs. Although the legislation referred to above is intended to promote a gradual relaxation of the investment limits, and we may be able to substitute the reduced institutional funds with retail deposits, there can be no assurance that this occurrence will not have a materially adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Increased regulation of the financial services industry in Chile or Colombia could increase our costs and result in lower profits

As a result of the 2008 financial crisis, there has been an increase in government regulation of the financial services industry in many countries. Such regulation may also be increased in Chile or Colombia including the imposition of higher capital requirements, heightened disclosure standards and restrictions on certain types of transaction structures. In addition, novel regulatory proposals are abound in the current environment. If enacted, new regulations could require us to inject further capital into our business as well as in businesses we acquire, restrict the type or volume of transactions we enter into, or set limits on or require the modification of rates or fees that we charge on certain loans or other products, any of which could lower the return on our investments, assets and equity. Although we currently comply with the minimum regulatory capital ratio required under the Chilean or Colombian banking regulations, no assurance can be given that in the future we will not need to inject additional capital into our business if such regulation is amended. We may also face increased compliance costs and limitations on our ability to pursue certain business opportunities.

Our results of operations are affected by interest rate volatility

Our results of operations depend to a great extent on our net interest income. In 2012, 2013 and 2014, our ratio of net interest income to total operating income was 57.5%, 65.1% and 63.6%, respectively. Changes in market interest rates in Chile or Colombia could affect the interest rates earned on our interest-earning assets differently from the interest rates paid on our interest-bearing liabilities leading to a reduction in our net interest income. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors beyond our control, including the reserve policies of the Central Bank of Chile and Colombia, deregulation of the financial sector in Chile and Colombia, domestic and international economic and political conditions and other factors. Yields on the Chilean government’s 90-day benchmark rate reached a high of 5.2% and a low of 4.8% in 2012, a high of 5.1% and a low of 4.8% in 2013 and a high of 4.5% and a low of 3.7% in 2014. On the other hand, the Colombian government does not issue short-term bonds of 30, 60 or 90 days as the Chilean government does. Instead, every month a committee of the Central Bank of Colombia determines the benchmark rate in order to achieve a specific goal of inflation. Yields on the Colombian benchmark rate reached a high of 5.25% and a low of 4.25% for 2012, a high of 4.0% and a low of 3.25% for 2013 and a high of 4.5% and a low of 3.25% for 2014. As of December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014, we had Ch$1,112,435 million, Ch$889,087 million and Ch$1,156,896 million, respectively, in financial investments available-for-sale. In the current global economic climate, there is a greater degree of uncertainty and unpredictability in the policy decisions and the setting of interest rates by the Central Bank of Chile and Central Bank of Colombia and, as a result, any volatility in interest rates could adversely affect us, including our future financial performance and the market value of our securities.

Future increases in the corporate tax rate in Chile or additional modifications to the Chilean tax system to finance future social reformssystems of the countries in which we operate may have a material adverse effect on us.

On September 29, 2014, Law No. 20,780, or the Tax Reform, was published in the Chilean Official Gazette, introducing the most significant amendments to the Chilean tax system over the last 30thirty years and strengthening the powers of the Chilean IRS to control and prevent tax avoidance. One of the main purposes of this reform was to finance major educational reforms under discussion in the Chilean Congress.

One of the most important changes introduced by the Tax Reform is the creation of two separate taxation systems in the Income Tax Law: (i) the attributed income system or (ii) the partially integrated system. This law also called for a gradual increase in the corporate income tax rate from 20% in 2013 to:

 

Years  2014  2015  2016 

Rates

   21  22.5  24

Beginning in 2017, the applicable tax rate will depend on the tax system chosen. Taxpayers choosing the Attributed Incomeattributed income system will have a final rate of 25% while those choosing the partially-integrated system will have a transitory rate of 25.5% in 2017 and a final rate of 27% in 2018 and beyond.

 

  Attributed income system: At the shareholder level, a 35% withholding tax would apply on an “attributed basis” from year 2017. As a result, any non-Chilean resident shareholder would be required to pay a 35% withholding tax while Chilean resident shareholders would be required to pay the progressiveImpuesto Global Complementario (Complementary Global Tax), with rates ranging between 0% and 35%, regardless of whether the Chilean company makes a profit distribution or dividend payment. Shareholders would be able to credit the corporate tax already paid by the company against the withholding tax or the progressive complementary income tax. The actual income distribution to the shareholders would not be taxable.

 

Partially integrated system: When the income is actually withdrawn from a company, non-Chilean resident shareholders would be subject to a 35% withholding tax, while Chilean resident shareholders would be required to pay the progressive Complementary Global Tax, with rates ranging between 0% and 35%, against which only a 65% of the corporate tax will be allowed to be used as a credit against the withholding tax or the Complementary Global Tax; provided that, the deduction available to shareholders resident in a country with which Chile has an agreed tax treaty would be 100%.

Foreign source income obtained by taxpayers domiciled or resident in Chile is generally subject to taxes in Chile on a cash basis. However, in the case of branches or other permanent establishments located abroad, both accrual and received income are considered in Chile for tax purposes. Also, taxpayers who obtain passive income from foreign companies, in which they have control,

as defined by the law, will have to pay taxes on accrual and cash basis, for the passive income accrued or perceived by those controlled entities.

Bonds and other debt instruments issued in Chile by Chilean companies are deemed to be located in Chile for capital gains purposes. However, bonds issued outside of Chile by Chilean companies are not deemed located in Chile for capital gain purposes and, consequently, the sale of such bonds by a non-Chilean resident inis not subject to capital gains tax in Chile (according to section 11 of theLey Sobre Impuesto a la Renta or the Chilean Income Tax Law it(it would be considered a foreign source income obtained by a non-Chilean resident).

The Tax Reform may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, uncertainty relating to tax legislation in Chile and Colombia poses a constant risk to CorpBanca. Changes in legislation, regulation and jurisprudence can affect tax burdens by increasing tax rates and fees, creating new taxes, limiting stated expenses and deductions, and eliminating incentives and non-taxed income. In addition, the Colombian government has a significant fiscal deficit that may result in future tax increases.

Colombian tax haven regulation could adversely affect our business and financial resultsresults.

Decree 21931966 of 20132014 amended by Decree 2095 of 2014 designates 4437 jurisdictions as tax havens for Colombian tax purposes. It also excludes temporarily seven countries, including Panama, while the Colombian government negotiates tax information exchange agreements with each of them. In October 2014, Panama and Colombia signed a memorandum of understanding by which they agreed to execute a double taxation treaty. However, if Panama and Colombia fail to actually execute the contemplated double taxation treaty by September 20, 2015, Panama would beis considered as a tax haven under Colombian tax regulations. As a result,regulations, the clients of our Colombian subsidiaries in Panama who are residents in such jurisdiction would be subject to the following regulations: (i) higher withholding tax rates including a higher withholding rates over financial yields derived from investments in the Colombian securities market, (ii) the Colombian transfer pricing regime and its reporting duties, (iii) an assumption for Colombian authorities of residency for the purposes of qualifying a conduct as abusive under tax regulations, (iv) the disallowance of payments made to residents or entities located in tax havens as costs or deductions, unless the respective withholding tax has been applied and (v) other additional information disclosure requirements.

Any additional taxes resulting from changes to tax regulations or the interpretation thereof in Chile or Colombia could adversely affect our consolidated results

Uncertainty relating to tax legislation in Chile and Colombia poses a constant risk to CorpBanca. Changes in legislation, regulation and jurisprudence can affect tax burdens by increasing tax rates and fees, creating new taxes, limiting stated expenses and deductions, and eliminating incentives and non-taxed income. In addition, the Colombian government has a significant fiscal deficit that may result in future tax increases. Additional tax regulations could be implemented that could require us to make additional tax payments, negatively affecting our respective results of operations and cash flow. In addition, national or local taxing authorities may not interpret tax regulations in the same way that we do. Differing interpretations could result in future tax litigation and associated costs.

Any downgrading of Chile’s or Colombia’s debt credit rating for domestic and international debt by international credit rating agencies may also affect our ratings, our business ourand future financial performance, stockholders’ equity and the value of our securitiesperformance.

Any adverse revisions to Chile’s or Colombia’s credit ratings for domestic and international debt by international rating agencies may adversely affect our ratings, and, as a result, our cost of funding, including interest rates paid on our deposits and securities. If this were to happen, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, future financial performance, stockholders’ equity and the value of our securities.

Our growth and profitability depend on the level of economic activity in Chile, Colombia and other emerging marketsmarkets.

Substantially all of our loans are to borrowers doing business in Chile or Colombia. Accordingly, the recoverability of these loans in particular, our ability to increase the amount of loans outstanding and our results of operations and financial condition in general, are dependent to a significant extent on the level of economic activity in Chile and Colombia. The Chilean and Colombian economies have been influenced, to varying degrees, by economic conditions in other emerging market countries. Changes in Chilean or Colombian economic growth in the future or futureFuture developments in or affecting the Chilean or Colombian economies, respectively, including consequences of economic difficulties in emerging and developed markets, including some of our neighbor countries, or a deceleration in the economic growth of Asian or other developed nations to which Chile and Colombia export a majority of their respective goods, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

According to data published by the Central Bank of Chile, the Chilean economy grew by 5.6% in 2012, 4.1% in 2013 and slowed to 1.9% in 2014.

According to data published by the Central Bank of Colombia, the Colombian economy grew by 4% in 2012, 4.9% in 2013 and 4.6% in 2014.

Our results of operations and financial condition could also be affected by changes in economic or other policies of the Chilean or Colombian governments, which have each exercised and continue to exercise a substantial influence over many aspects of the private sector, or other political or economic developments in Chile.

Although economic conditions are different in each country, investors’ reactions to developments in one country may affect the securities of issuers in other countries, including Chile. Starting in September 2008, the economic and financial crisis in the United States and Europe sparked a series of financial institution failures across the globe. This resulted in a liquidity crisis and a reduction in growth of the global economy as financial institutions tightened risk policies and reduced lending to banks, corporations and individuals. During 2009, the economies of the United States and some European countries contracted, which, in turn, impacted the Chilean and Colombian economies. Although there have recently been signs of recovery in the global economy, Chile and Colombia, this recovery may be fragile and also may reflect temporary benefits from government stimulus programs that may not be sustained. The ability of certain countries, such as Greece, Portugal, Spain and Italy and companies in those countries and in the Euro zone to repay debt obligations remains uncertain. The effect on consumer confidence of any actual or perceived deterioration in the Chilean or Colombian economies may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

In addition, our financial condition and results of operations could also be affected by regulatory changes in administrative practices changes in economic or other policies of the Chilean or Colombian governments or other political or economic developments in or affecting Chile or Colombia, over which we have no control.

Inflation and government measures to curb inflation could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operationsoperations.

Although Chilean and Colombian inflation have been low in recent years, Chile and Colombia have experienced high inflation in the double-digit levels in the past. Such high levels of inflation in Chile or Colombia could adversely affect the Chilean and Colombian economies and have an adverse effect on our results of operations if such inflation is not accompanied by a matching devaluation of the local currency. We cannot make any assurances that Chilean or Colombian inflation will not revert to prior levels in the future.

The following table shows the annual rate of inflation during the last five years as measured by changes in the Chilean and Colombian consumer price index, or CPI, and as reported by the: (i) Chilean National Institute of Statistics and (ii) Colombian National Administrative Department of Statistics:

During 2010, GDP grew by 5.8% in Chile and grew by 4% in Colombia. In Chile, 2010 ended with 3% inflation, in part supported by additional government and private sector spending to finance the reconstruction work required to restore Chile’s productive capacity and financial aid to the areas affected by the 2010 earthquake and tsunami, and grew in Colombia, resulting in 3.2% inflation. During 2011, GDP grew by 6% and the inflation rate was 4.4% in Chile and GDP grew by 6.6% and the inflation rate was 3.7% in Colombia. During 2012, GDP grew by 5.6% and the inflation rate was 1.5% in Chile and GDP grew by 4% and the inflation rate was 2.4% in Colombia. During 2013, GDP grew by 4.1% and the inflation rate was 3.0% in Chile and GDP grew by 4.3% and the inflation rate was 1.9% in Colombia. During 2014, GDP grew by 1.9% and the inflation rate was 4.6% in Chile and GDP grew by 4.6% and the inflation rate was 3.7% in Colombia. In 2014 the Central Bank of Chile decreased the interbank rate from 4.5% to 3.0% so that the projected inflation could be placed in the 3.0% horizon targeted by the Central Bank of Chile. In Chile, the average interbank rate was 3.8% in 2014. In 2014 the Central Bank of Colombia increased the interbank rate from 3.25% to 4.5% and the average interbank rate was 3.88% in 2014. High levels of inflation or deflation in Chile or Colombia could adversely affect the Chilean or Colombian economies and have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may be unsuccessful in addressing the challenges and risks presented by our operations in countries outside Chile or ColombiaColombia.

We now operate a banking business in Colombia through CorpBanca Colombia and in Panamá through subsidiaries of CorpBanca Colombia. Our operations are focused on retail banking, as well as wholesale and commercial banking and providing financing and deposit services to small-to-medium-sized companiesSMEs and individuals with medium-high income levels. CorpBanca Colombia provides a broad range of commercial and retail banking services to its customers, operating principally in the cities of Bogotá, Medellín, Cali, Bucaramanga, Cartagena and Barranquilla.

We have limited experience conducting credit card and consumer finance businesses in countries outside Chile. Accordingly, we may not be successful in managing credit card and consumer finance operations outside of our traditional domestic market in Chile. We may face delays in payments by customers and higher delinquency rates in any market we enter into, which could necessitate higher provisions for loan losses and, consequently, have an adverse effect on our financial performance.

Colombia has experienced internal security issues that have had or could have in the future a negative effect on the Colombian economyeconomy.

Colombia has experienced internal security issues, primarily due to the activities of guerrilla groups such as the FARC,Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia(Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de ColombiaortheFARC), National Liberation Army (Ejército de Liberación Nacional or the ELN), paramilitary groups and drug cartels. In remote regions of the country with minimal governmental presence, these groups have exerted influence over the local population and funded their activities by protecting, and rendering services to drug traffickers.

Despite the Colombian government’s “democratic security” program and ongoing peace conversations withnegotiations between the Colombian government and FARC, which have reduced guerrilla and criminal activity, particularly in the form of terrorism attacks, homicides, kidnappings and extortion, such activities persist in Colombia, and possible escalation of such activities and the effects associated with them have had and may have in the future a negative impact on the Colombian economy and on our operations in Colombia, including our customers, employees, results of operations and financial condition, and physical assets.

While the terms of a final peace agreement are still unknown, the government is likely to subject the proposed final text of these agreements to a referendum. The final agreement is expected to provide FARC with several benefits including: (i) changes in legislation concerning access to credit and financial services; (ii) tax benefits, and (iii) more favorable labor regulations. Such agreements and other legistalive changes arising therefrom may have a negative impact on the Colombian economy and on our operations in Colombia.

ELN, paramilitary groups and drug cartels’ are not part of the peace negotiations.It is expected that their activities will continue.

Tensions with Venezuela and Ecuador may affect the Colombian economy and, consequently, our results of operations and financial conditioncondition.

Diplomatic relations with Venezuela and Ecuador, two of Colombia’s main trading partners, have from time to time been tense and affected by events surrounding the Colombian armed forces combat of the FARC throughout Colombia, particularly on Colombia’s borders with Venezuela and Ecuador. Any

Additionally, further deterioration in relations with Venezuela and Ecuador may result in the closing of borders, the imposition of trade barriers or a breakdown of diplomatic ties, any of which could have a negative impact on Colombia’s trade balance, economy and general security situation, which may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

In 2015, the Venezuelan political events may affect CorpBanca Colombia’s operations

In February 2014, Venezuela experienced political unrest and demonstrations acrossgovernment abruptly closed the country that sparked a series of violent incidents thatColombian-Venezuelan border which resulted in several deathsa substantial decrease in trade between Colombia and numerous injuries. During AprilVenezuela and May, 2014, anti-government demonstrations in Venezuela caused numerous injuriesincreased diplomatic tensions between the two governments. As of March 2016, the border remains closed and protestors held demonstrations calling for new elections. These demonstrations in Venezuela resulted in somethe Venezuelan government has announced that such closure is indefinite. A continued closure of the country’s worst political violence, historically, with numerous deathsborder may result in further deterioration of trade and injuries, as well as destruction of property. It is unknown what effects any future demonstrations may have on Venezuela. Any future political unrest and demonstrations in Venezuela, may have an adverse effect in CorpBanca’s results of operations and financial condition.

Government policies and actions, and judicial decisions in Colombia could significantly affect the local economy and, as a result, our operations in Colombia and our results of operations and financial condition

Our operations in Colombia and our results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected by changes in Colombian governmental policies and actions, and judicial decisions, involving a broad range of matters, including interest rates, exchange rates, exchange controls, inflation rates, taxation, banking and pension fund regulations and other political or economic developments affecting Colombia. The Colombian government has historically exercised substantial influence over the economy, and its policies are likely to continue to have a significant effect onnegative impact in the Colombian companies. The President of Colombia has considerable power to determine governmental policies and actions relating to the economy, and may adopt policies that could negatively affect our business in Colombia. Future governmental policies and actions, or judicial decisions, could adversely impact the results of operations or financial condition of our business in Colombia.economy.

Constitutional collective actions (acciones populares), class actions (acciones de grupo) and other similar legal actions in Chile and Colombia involving claims for significant monetary awards against financial institutions may have an adverse effect on our business and results of operationsoperations.

Under the Chilean Consumer Protection Act and under the Colombian Constitution, individuals may initiate constitutional collective or class actions to protect their collective or class rights, respectively. as applicable. In the past few years, Chilean financial institutions have experienced limited numbers of collective and class actions mostly relating to abusive clauses in standard contracts.

In the past few years, Colombian financial institutions, including CorpBanca Colombia, have experienced a substantial increase in the aggregate number of these actions. The great majority of such actions have been related to fees, financial services and interest rates, and their outcome is uncertain. Pursuant to Law No. 1,425 of 2010, monetary awards for plaintiffs in constitutional collective actions (acciones populares) were eliminated as of January 1, 2011. Nevertheless, individuals continue to have the right to initiate constitutional or class actions against CorpBanca Colombia.

Future restrictions on interest rates or banking fees could negatively affect our profitability.

In the future, additional regulations in Colombiathe jurisdictions where we operate could impose limitations regarding interest rates or fees charged by CorpBanca. Any such limitations could materially and adversely affect our profitabilityresults of operations and financial resultssituation.

The Colombian Commerce Code limits the amount of interest that may be charged in commercial transactions. In the future, regulations could impose limitations regarding interest rates or fees we charge. Any such limitations could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial position. In the past, there have been disputes in Colombia among merchants, payment services and banks regarding interchange fees. Although such disputes have been resolved, the Colombian Superintendency of Industry and Commerce (Superintendencia de Industria y Comercio), or the SIC, may initiate new investigations relating to the interchange fees.

This possibility may lead to additional decreases in such fees, which in turn could adversely our operations in Colombia and our consolidated financial results.

Furthermore, pursuant to article 62 of Law No. 1,430 of 2010, the Colombian Congress grantedgovernment has the government power and authority to establish and define criteria and formulas applicable to the calculation of banking fees and other charges and the authority to define maximum limits toestablish caps on the banking fees, credit card fees, and charges.other charges that we impose on our customers. On December 20, 2011, the Colombian Governmentgovernment used theits authority granted by Law No. 1,430 of 2010 and established in Decree 4,809 of 2011to set a cap on the fees banks can charge on withdrawals done from ATMs outside their own networks. UnderAdditionally, under Colombian regulation, banks are prohibited from charging prepayment penalties or fees on loans, other than in mortgage loans, except when the outstanding amount of a loan is more than the equivalent of 880 monthly minimum wages, or SMMLV (approximately US$221,000)180,861). IfIn mortgage loans, irrespective of their principal amount or in other loans in which the outstanding amount of a loan is moregreater than the equivalent of 880 SMMLV, prepayment penalties or fees may be charged but only when expressly contemplated under the governing loan agreement. Further limits or regulations regarding banking fees, and uncertainties with respect thereto could have a negative effect on CorpBanca Colombia and our results of operations and financial condition.

Historically, Colombian banks have not paid interest on amounts deposited in checking accounts. We pay interest on some checking accounts under certain conditions. If competition or other factors lead us to pay higher interest rates on checking accounts, to relax the conditions under which we pay interest or to increase the number of checking accounts on which we pay interest, any such change could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Insolvency law in Chile and Colombialaws may limit our monetary collection and ability to enforce our rightsrights.

A new Insolvency Act was published in Chile in the Official Gazette on January 9, 2014 (the Insolvency Act) and came into effect on October 9, 2014. Under this new Insolvency Act, monetary collection and enforcement of rights by a creditor may face limitations such as those arising from the Insolvency Protection (as defined below) recognized by the act. For more information on these limitations please see “Item 4—Information on the Company—B. Business Overview—Recent Regulatory Developments in Chile”.

Colombian insolvency laws provide that creditors of an insolvent debtor in default are prohibited from initiating collection proceedings outside the bankruptcy or reorganization process of such debtor. In addition, all collection proceedings outstanding at the beginning of any bankruptcy or reorganization process of any insolvent debtor must be suspended and creditors are prevented from enforcing their rights against the collateral and other assets of the debtor until the reorganization has been agreed (in which case the collection proceeding is resolved within the reorganization agreement) or it is declared that no reorganization was agreed.

On June 12, 2012, the Additionally, Colombian Congress enacted Law 1,564, which provideslaws provide insolvency protection for non-merchant individuals. Pursuant to thisThis insolvency regulation,protection entails that, once a non-merchant individual has ceased paying his or her debts, such individual can initiate a voluntary insolvency proceeding before a notary public or mediator to reach an agreement with its creditors. The terms of any agreement reached with a group (two or more) of creditors that represent more than 50% of the total amount of the claims will be mandatorily applicable to all relevant creditors. The law also provides for increased debtorThere are other protections includingsuch as an automatic stay for a maximum of 90 days. These legal limitations make it difficult to recover on defaulted loans, and as a result, may cause CorpBanca Colombia to enhance its credit requirements which would result in

decreased lending to individuals by making it more expensive. In addition, increased difficulties in enforcing debt and other monetary obligations due to this insolvency law could have an adverse effect on CorpBanca Colombia and our results of operations and financial condition.

The Central Bank of Colombia may impose requirements on our (and other Colombian residents’) ability to obtain loans in foreign currencycurrency.

The Central Bank of Colombia may impose certain mandatory deposit requirements in connection with foreign currency-denominatedcurrency denominated loans obtained by Colombian residents, including CorpBanca Colombia. AlthoughColombia, although no such mandatory deposit requirement is currently in effect, a mandatory deposit requirement was set at 40% in 2008 after the Colombian peso appreciated against foreign currencies.effect. We cannot predict or control future actions by the Central Bank of Colombia in respect of such deposit requirements, which may involve the establishment of a different mandatory deposit percentage. Thepercentage, and the use of such measures by the Central Bank may raise our cost of Colombia may be a disincentive for CorpBanca Colombiaraising funds and reduce our clients in Colombia to obtain loans denominated in a foreign currency.

Our operations in Colombia may be unable to collect on collateral or guarantees securing loans, which may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition

CorpBanca Colombia makes loans that are secured by collateral, including real estate and other assets that are generally located in Colombia. The value of collateral may significantly fluctuate or decline due to factors beyond their control, including, for example, economic and political conditions in the country. An economic slowdown may lead to a downturn in the Colombian real estate market, which may, in turn, result in declines in the value of real estate securing loans to levels below the principal balances of these loans. Any decline in the value of the collateral securing loans may result in reduced recoveries from collateral realization and have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

CorpBanca Colombia also makes loans on the basis of guarantees from relatives, affiliates or associated persons of borrowers. To the extent that guarantors encounter financial difficulties due to economic conditions, personal or business circumstances, or otherwise, the ability of CorpBanca Colombia to enforce such guarantees may be impaired.

In addition, CorpBanca Colombia may face difficulties in enforcing their rights as a secured creditor against borrowers, collateral or guarantees. In particular, timing delays and procedural problems in realizing against collateral, as well as a debtor-protective judicial interpretations of the law, may make it difficult to foreclose on collateral, realize against guarantees or enforce judgments in CorpBanca Colombia’s favor, which could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

There are also certain provisions of Colombian Law No. 1,676 that may affect our rights to foreclose on or liquidate movable assets pledged in favor of our Colombian subsidiaries. Colombian Law No. 1,676, issued on August 20, 2013, and applicable as from February 21, 2014, created a new registry for liens over movable assets. Creditors registering liens are granted priority based on the date of registration of the liens in the new registry. This “first in time, first in right” rule also applies to those liens granted before the enactement of the law. We are currently registering liens granted in our favor prior to February 21, 2014, however, there is a risk that third parties with conflicting liens may also try to obtain registration over the same assets, in which case the first party to register a lien will have priority over any others. In addition, given the recent enactment of this law, there is uncertainty as to how the law will be interpreted and applied, including how movable assets underlying the securities will be valued by the registry.

Our operations in Colombia may face legal and other challenges to maximizing revenue from credit card fees and other fees from customers

CorpBanca Colombia’s credit card businesses face risks relating to the pricing of fees and commissions charged to merchants (merchant discounts) and the pricing of bank interchange fees charged by issuer banks to acquiring banks. Banks and card processors in Colombia have been subject to administrative investigations regarding the fees and commissions that are charged to the merchants by the acquiring banks and in respect to the banking interchange fees.

In the past, the SIC has conducted investigations on the practices ofAsociación Gremial de Instituciones Financieras Credibanco (Visa franchisee in Colombia) andRedeban Multicolor S.A. (MasterCard franchisee in Colombia), the entities chosen by most Colombian banks to manage the credit card system in Colombia, relating to alleged price fixing agreements among Colombian banks relating to fees and commissions charged to merchants.

As a result of these investigations, the fees charged to merchants and bank interchange fees could decrease, which could also lead to changes in commercial strategies that could affect CorpBanca Colombia’s and our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, fees charged for other banking services have and may continue to be reduced in the future as a result of regulatory measures and/or pressure from retailers and interest groups.

Our Colombian operations face uncertainty regarding consumer protection laws

Law No. 1,328 of 2009, as amended by Law No. 1,748 of 2014, created a customer protection regime with respect to financial institutions. The financial reform law provides a bill of rights for consumers of financial services and products, including the right to receive clear, complete and reliable information about the services and products offered by financial institutions. The law and the decrees and regulations issued pursuant to it also contain specific obligations for financial institutions, including a duty to maintain a financial ombudsman in charge of consumer protection and procedures regulating the responsibilities and function of the ombudsman, a duty to create a financial consumer attention center pursuant to terms set by the Colombian Superintendency of Finance, an obligation to provide services and products under the same conditions offered to the general public, and a prohibition on the inclusion of predatory or abusive clauses in contracts with consumers. Any violation of this law or the decrees and regulations issued pursuant to this law by CorpBanca Colombia could result in monetary or administrative sanctions or restrictions on its operations.flexibility.

RISKS RELATING TO OUR CONTINUINGEXPANSION AND INTEGRATION OF HELM BANKACQUIRED BUSINESSES

We may not be able to manage our growth successfullysuccessfully.

We have been expanding the scope of our operations over the past few years, and we expect that this expansion will continue. As we continue to grow, we must improve our operational, technical and managerial knowledge and compliance systems in order to effectively manage our operations across the expanded group. Failure to integrate, monitor and manage expanded operations could have a material adverse effect on our business, reputation and financial results. Our future growth will also depend on our access to internal and external financing sources. We may be unable to access such financing on commercially acceptable terms or at all.

Integration of acquired or merged businesses involves certain risks that may have a material adverse effect on usus.

We have engaged in a number of mergers and acquisitions in the past, including the Banco SantanderCorpBanca Colombia Acquisition, in 2012, the Helm Bank Acquisition, in 2013, and may make further mergers and acquisitions in the future as part of our growth strategy. We believe that these transactions will contribute to our continued growth and competitiveness in the Chilean, Colombian, and international banking sectors.

Any acquisition and merger of institutions and assets and the integration of such institutions and assets involves certain risks including the risk that:

 

integrating new networks, information systems, personnel, financial and accounting systems, risk and other management systems, financial planning and reporting, products and customer bases into our existing business may run into difficulties, cause us to incur unexpected costs and operating expenses and place additional demands on management time;

 

we may incur unexpected liabilities or contingencies relating to acquired businesses;

 

antitrust and other regulatory authorities may impose restrictions or limitations on the terms of the acquisition or merger, require disposition of certain assets or businesses or withhold their approval of such transaction; and

 

the expected operation and financial synergies and other benefits from such mergers or acquisitions may not be fully achieved.

If we fail to achieve the business growth opportunities, cost savings and other benefits we anticipate from mergers and acquisition transactions, or incur greater integration costs than we have estimated, our results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

Acquisitions and strategic partnerships may not perform in accordance with expectations, may fail to receive required regulatory approvals or may disrupt our operations and adversely affect our business financial condition and results of operationsoperations.

A component of our strategy is to identify and pursue growth-enhancing strategic opportunities. As part of that strategy we have consummated (i) the Banco Santander Colombia Acquisition in 2012 (today “CorpBanca Colombia”); and (ii) the Helm Bank Acquisition in 2013. Helm Bank was merged with and into CorpBanca Colombia on June 1, 2014. We will continue to consider additional strategic acquisitions and alliances from time to time, inside and outside of Chile and Colombia. Strategic acquisitions and alliances, including the Helm Bank Acquisition, could expose us to risks with which we have limited or no experience. Future acquisitions may also be subject to regulatory approval, which we may not receive, particularly in view of our increasing market share in the Colombian banking industry.

We must necessarily base any assessment of potential acquisitions and alliances on assumptions with respect to operations, profitability and other matters that may subsequently prove to be incorrect. Future acquisitions and alliances may not produce anticipated synergies or perform in accordance with our expectations and could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, new demands on our existing organization, management and employees resulting from the integration of new acquisitions could disrupt our operations and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may have problems successfully completing the implementation of a new information technology core banking system in ColombiaColombia.

A key element of our expansion strategy consists in the acquisition of existing businesses and their integration into our business model and administration and management processes. During 2014,2015, we continued the integration process of Helm Bank and its subsidiaries into our pre-existing operations and business model, including integration of back-office functions. An important step of this integration process is the implementation of a new information technology core banking system in Colombia, which we have been implementing since January 2014.February 2013. If we are unable to successfully complete the implementation of this new information technology core banking system in Colombia, the integration process in Colombia could be adversely affected, which could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. The implementation of the new information technology core banking system in CorpBanca Colombia is underway.

RISKS RELATING TO THE PENDING ITAÚ-CORPBANCA MERGER

CorpBanca may be unable to fully realize the anticipated benefits of the Itaú-CorpBanca MergerMerger.

The Itaú-CorpBanca Merger involves bringing together two large financial institutions that currently operate as independent companies. CorpBanca will be required to devote significant management attention and resources to integrating certain aspects of the business practices and operations of CorpBanca and Itaú Chile.

The success of the Itaú-CorpBanca Merger will depend, in part, on CorpBanca’s ability to realize anticipated revenue synergies, cost savings and growth opportunities resulting from the combination of the businesses of CorpBanca and Itaú Chile. CorpBanca hopesWe expect to generate synergies resulting from optimization of organizational structures, scalable IT systems, savings related to the branch network and reductions in administrative expenses. There is a risk, however, that CorpBanca may not be able to combine the businesses of CorpBanca and Itaú Chile in a manner that permits CorpBanca to realize these revenue synergies, cost savings and growth opportunities in the time, manner or amounts CorpBanca currently expects or at all. Potential difficulties CorpBanca may encounter as part of the merger process include, among other things:

 

complexities associated with managing Itaú-CorpBanca;

 

the need to implement, integrate and harmonize various business-specific operating procedures and systems, as well as the financial, accounting, information and other systems of CorpBanca and Itaú Chile;

 

potential loss of key employees as a result of implementing the proposed Transactions;Itaú-CorpBanca Merger;

 

the need to coordinate the existing products and customer bases of CorpBanca and Itaú Chile; and

 

potential unknown liabilities and unforeseen increased expenses or delays associated with the merger and the other transactions described in the Transaction Agreement (as defined below), or the Transactions.Itaú-CorpBanca Merger.

In addition, CorpBanca and Itaú Chile have operated and, until the completion of the merger, will continue to operate separately. It is possible that the integration process could result in:

 

diversion of management’s attention from their normal areas of responsibility to address issues related to the Transactions;Itaú-CorpBanca Merger; and

 

the disruption of CorpBanca’s or Itaú Chile’s ongoing businesses or inconsistencies in its standards, controls, procedures and policies,

each of which could adversely affect their ability to maintain good relationships with its customers, suppliers, employees and other constituencies, or to achieve the anticipated benefits of the proposed Transactions,Itaú-CorpBanca Merger, and could increase costs or reduce their earnings or otherwise adversely affect the business, financial condition, results of operations and/or prospects of the merged entity following the completion of the merger, Itaú CorpBanca, which we refer to herein as, and will be referred to following the completion of the merger as, Itaú-CorpBanca. Actual revenue synergies, cost savings, growth

opportunities and efficiency and operational benefits resulting from the merger may be lower and may take CorpBanca longer than it currently expects.

The integration of two large companies also presents significant management challenges. In order to achieve the anticipated benefits of the merger, the operations of the two companies will need to be reorganized and their resources will need to be combined in a timely and flexible manner.

There can be no assurance that CorpBanca will be able to implement these steps as anticipated or at all. If CorpBanca fails to consummate the Itaú-CorpBanca Merger within the time frame that is currently contemplated or to the extent that is currently planned, or if for any other reason the expected revenue synergies, cost savings and growth opportunities fail to materialize, the Transactions,it may not produce the benefits that CorpBanca currently anticipates.

CorpBanca has and will continue to incur significant costs and expenses in connection with the Itaú-CorpBanca MergerMerger.

CorpBanca has incurred and will continue to incur substantial expenses in connection with the proposed Transaction.Itaú-CorpBanca Merger. These costs and expenses include financial advisory, legal, accounting, consulting and other advisory fees and expenses, reorganization and restructuring costs, filing fees, printing expenses and other related charges. Some of these costs are payable by CorpBanca and Itaú Chile regardless of whether the Itaú-CorpBanca Merger is completed. There are also many processes, policies, procedures, operations, technologies and systems that must be integrated in connection with the Itaú-CorpBanca Merger. While CorpBanca has assumed that a certain level of expenses would be incurred in connection with the Transactions,Itaú-CorpBanca Merger, there are many factors beyond CorpBanca’s control that could affect the total amount or the timing of the related expenses.

There may also be additional unanticipated significant costs in connection with the Itaú-CorpBanca Merger that CorpBanca may not recoup. These costs and expenses could, particularly in the near term, exceed the savings that CorpBanca expects to achieve from the elimination of duplicative expenses and the realization of economies of scale, other efficiencies and cost savings. Although CorpBanca expects that these savings will offset these integration and implementation costs over time, this net benefit may not be achieved in the near term or at all.

Itaú Unibanco will control the board of directors of Itaú-CorpBanca-CorpBanca.

Itaú Unibanco and CorpGroup will collectively appoint a majority of the directors of the board of directors of Itaú-CorpBanca after the completion of the Transactions. The Itaú-CorpBanca Shareholders Agreement to be entered into by Itaú Unibanco and Corp Group contemplates that the directors appointed by them will vote, to the extent permited by the law, in a block and in accordance with the recommendation of Itaú Unibanco, subject to certain exceptions. Accordingly, Itaú Unibanco will be able to control the actions taken by the board of directors of Itaú-CorpBanca on most matters.

Uncertainties associated with the Itaú-CorpBanca Merger may cause a loss of management personnel and other key employees that could adversely affect CorpBanca, Itaú Chile and/or Itaú-CorpBanca-CorpBanca.

The success of the Itaú-CorpBanca Merger is dependent, in part, on the experience and industry knowledge of their senior management and other key employees of CorpBanca and Itaú Chile and their ability to execute their business plans. In order to be successful, CorpBanca, Itaú Chile and Itaú-CorpBanca must be able to retain the senior management and other key employees and their ability to attract highly qualified personnel in the future. Current and prospective employees of CorpBanca and Itaú Chile may experience uncertainty about their roles within Itaú-CorpBanca following completion of the Itaú-CorpBanca Merger, which may have an adverse effect on the ability of CorpBanca, Itaú Chile or Itaú-CorpBanca to retain or attract senior management and other key employees, and in turn, on our business, financial condition and results of operations, regardless of the success of the Itaú-CorpBanca Merger.

Itaú-CorpBanca’s future results will suffer if it cannot effectively manage its expanded operations following completion of the Itaú-CorpBanca MergerMerger.

Following the completion of the Itaú-CorpBanca Merger, the size of the business of Itaú-CorpBanca will be significantly larger and more complex than the current business of CorpBanca or Itaú Chile. Itaú-CorpBanca’s future success will depend, in part, on CorpBanca’s ability to manage this expanded business, posing substantial challenges for management. There can be no assurances that Itaú-CorpBanca will be successful or that it will realize the expected operating efficiencies, cost savings, revenue synergies and other benefits currently anticipated by CorpBanca and Itaú Chile from the Itaú-CorpBanca Merger.

CorpBanca must obtain approval of its shareholders to the Transactions, which, if delayed or not obtained, may jeopardize or delay its consummation

The Transactions are conditioned on the approval by the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of the outstanding shares of CorpBanca common stock. If the shareholders of CorpBanca do not provide such approval, then CorpBanca and Itaú Chile cannot consummate the Transactions. CorpBanca has not yet scheduled a shareholders meeting for the purpose of obtaining such vote.

Required Regulatory approvals may not be received, may take longer than expected or may impose conditions that are not presently anticipated or cannot be met

The Transactions were subject to various customary regulatory approvals that must be obtained from certain bank and other governmental authorities in several jurisdictions prior to their consummation. As of the date of this annual report, we have secured all required regulatory approvals other than the approval of the SBIF, which remains outstanding. The SBIF may impose conditions on the granting of such approval. Such conditions or changes and the process of obtaining this regulatory approval could have the effect of delaying completion of the merger or of imposing additional costs or limitations on CorpBanca. The SBIF approval may not be received at any time, may not be received in a timely fashion, and may contain conditions on the completion of the merger. In addition, CorpBanca and Itaú Chile may elect not to consummate the Itaú-CorpBanca Merger if, in connection with such approval, the SBIF imposes any restriction, requirement or condition that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on either CorpBanca and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or Itaú Chile, Itaú Colombia and their subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

Failure to consummate the Itaú-CorpBanca Merger could negatively impact the share price and the future business and financial results of CorpBancaCorpBanca.

If the Itaú-CorpBanca Merger is not consummated, the ongoing businesses of CorpBanca may be adversely affected and, without realizing any of the benefits of having consummated the Itaú-CorpBanca Merger, CorpBanca will be subject to a number of risks, including the following:

 

CorpBanca and/or Itaú Chile will be required to pay costs and expenses relating to the proposed Transactions;Itaú-CorpBanca Merger;

 

matters relating to the TransactionsItaú-CorpBanca Merger may require substantial commitments of time and resources by CorpBanca’s management, which could otherwise have been devoted to other opportunities that may have been beneficial to CorpBanca; and

 

the Transaction Agreement restricts CorpBanca, without Itaú Chile’s consent;consent and subject to certain exceptions, from taking certain actions until the Itaú-CorpBanca Merger is consummated. These restrictions may prevent CorpBanca from pursuing otherwise attractive business opportunities and making other changes to their businesses that may arise prior to consummation of the Transactions.

If the Transactions are not consummated, these risks may materialize and may adversely affect CorpBanca business, financial results and share price.

The Transaction Agreement contains provisions that restrict CorpBanca’s ability to pursue alternative transactionstransactions.

The Transaction Agreement prohibits the parties from soliciting, discussing, negotiating or entering into alternative transactions. This provision could discourage a third party that may have an interest in acquiring all or a significant part of CorpBanca from considering or proposing that acquisition, even if such third party were prepared to pay consideration with a higher value than the value of the proposed Transactions.

The Transaction Agreement may be terminated in accordance with its terms and the Transactions may not be completedcompleted.

The Transaction Agreement is subject to a number of customary closing conditions which must be fulfilled in order to consummate the Itaú-CorpBanca Merger. Those conditions include: approval of the Transaction Agreement by CorpBanca shareholders, receipt of all required regulatory approvals, absence of orders preventing or suspending consummation of the Transactions, receipt of specified consents, the accuracy of the representations and warranties by both parties, performance by both parties of their covenants and agreements, the execution and delivery by both parties of the Shareholders’ Agreement and certain pledge agreements, and the absence of any circumstance, occurrence or change that has had a material adverse effect on any of the parties. These conditions to the closing of the TransactionsItaú-CorpBanca Merger may not be fulfilled and, accordingly, the merger may not be completed. In addition, if the Transactions areItaú-CorpBanca Merger is not completed by the second anniversary from the date of the Transaction Agreement,May 2, 2016, either CorpBanca or Itaú Chile may choose not to proceed with the Transactions,Itaú-CorpBanca Merger, and any party can unilaterally decide to terminate the Transaction Agreement.

RISKS RELATING TO OUR SECURITIES

U.S. securities laws do not require us to disclose as much information to investors as a U.S. issuer is required to disclose, and you may receive less information about us than you might otherwise receive from a comparable U.S. companydisclose.

The corporate disclosure requirements applicable to us may not be equivalent to the requirements applicable to a U.S. company and, as a result, you may receive less information about us than you might otherwise receive in connection with a comparable U.S. company. We are subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, that apply to “foreign private issuers.” The periodic disclosure required of foreign private issuers under the Exchange Act is more limited than the periodic disclosure required of U.S. issuers.

We are required only to file an annual report on Form 20-F, but we are not required to file any quarterly reports. A U.S. registrant must file an annual report on Form 10-K and three quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.

We are required to furnish current reports on Form 6-K, but the information that we must disclose in those reports is governed primarily by Chilean law disclosure requirements and may differ from Form 8-K’s current reporting requirements imposed on a U.S. issuer.

We are not subject to the proxy requirements of Section 14 of the Exchange Act and our officers, directors and principal shareholders are not subject to the short swing insider trading reporting and recovery requirements under Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

Our status as a controlled company and a foreign private issuer exempts us from certain of the corporate governance standards of the New York Stock Exchange, or the NYSE, limiting the protections afforded to investorsExchange.

We are a “controlled company” and a “foreign private issuer” within the meaning of the NYSENew York Stock Exchange (NYSE) corporate governance standards. Under the NYSE rules, a controlled company is exemptstandards, which exempts us from certain NYSE corporate governance requirements. In addition, a foreign private issuer may elect to comply with the practice of its home country and not to comply with certain NYSE corporate governance requirements, including the requirements that (i) a majority of our board of directors (directorio), or Board of Directors, consist of independent directors, (ii) a nominating and corporate governance committee be established that is composed entirely of independent directors and has a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities, (iii) a compensation committee be established that is composed entirely of independent directors and has a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities, (iv) an annual performance evaluation of the nominating and corporate governance and compensation committees be undertaken, and (v) the members of the audit committee meet the Exchange Act Rule 10A-3(b)(1) independence requirements. We currently use these exemptions and intend to continue using these exemptions. Accordingly, you will not have the same protections afforded to investors in companies that are subject to all NYSE corporate governance requirements. See “Item 16G. Corporate Governance” for a comparison of the corporate governance standards of the New York Stock Exchange and Chilean practice.

Certain actions by our principal shareholder may have an adverse effect on the future market value of our securities and may have interests that differ from those of our other shareholders

Our controlling shareholder is Corp Group Banking S.A., which in turn is controlled by Mr. Alvaro Saieh Bendeck. As of December 31, 2014, together with members of his family, Mr. Saieh Bendeck and his family had an indirect ownership of 75.6% of Corp Group Banking S.A. and 49.9% of CorpBanca’s outstanding common shares through such holding company and also through other investment companies such asCompañía Inmobiliaria y de Inversiones Saga SpA, or Saga, a company owned by Mr. Saieh Bendeck and his family.

Investors may find it difficult to enforce civil liabilities against us or our directors, officers and controlling personspersons.

We are organized under the laws of Chile and our principal place of business (domicilio social) is in Santiago, Chile. Most of our directors, officers and controlling persons reside outside of the United States. In addition, all or a substantial portion of our assets are located outside of the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States on such persons or to enforce judgments against them, including in any action based on civil liabilities under the United States federal securities laws. Based on the opinion of our Chilean counsel, there is doubt as to the enforceability against such persons in Chile, whether in original actions or in actions to enforce judgments of U.S. courts, of liabilities based solely on the U.S. federal securities laws. See “Service of Process and Enforcement of Civil Liabilities”.

RISKS RELATING TO OUR ADSs AND COMMON SHARES

There may be a lack of liquidity and market for our ADSs and common sharesshares.

A lack of liquidity in the markets may develop for our ADSs, which would negatively affect the ability of the holders to sell our ADSs or the price at which holders of our ADSs will be abledesire to sell them. Future trading prices of our ADSs will depend on many factors including, among other things, prevailing interest rates, our operating results and the market for similar securities.

Our common shares underlying the ADSs are listed and traded on the Santiago Stock Exchange and the Chilean Electronic Exchange, although the trading market for the common shares is small by international standards. As of December 31, 2014, we had 340,358,194,234 common shares. Although ADS holders are entitled to withdraw common shares underlying ADSs from the depositary at any time, the Chilean securities markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than major securities markets in the United States. As of December 31, 2014, our non-controlling shareholders held approximately 50.1% of our outstanding common shares. A limited trading market in general and our concentrated ownership in particular may impair the ability of an ADS holder to sell in the Chilean market any common shares obtained upon withdrawal of such common shares from our ADR facility in the amount and at the price and time such holder desires, and could increase volatility of the price of the common shares in the form of ADSs.

In addition, according to article 14 of theLey de Mercado de Valores, Law No. 18,045, or the Chilean Securities Market Law,Act, the Chilean Superintendency of Securities and Insurance, or SVS, may suspend the offer, quotation or trading of shares of any company listed on the Chilean stock exchanges for up to 30 days if, in its opinion, such suspension is necessary to protect investors or is justified for reasons of public interest. Such suspension may be extended for up to 120 days. If, at the expiration of the extension, the circumstances giving rise to the original suspension have not changed, the SVS will then cancel the relevant listing in the registry of securities. Furthermore, the Santiago Stock Exchange may inquire as to any movement in the price of any securities in excess of 10% and suspend trading in such securities for a day if it is deemed necessary. These and other factors may substantially limit your ability to sell the common shares underlying your ADSs at a price and time at which you wish to do so.

The issuance or sale, of a substantial number of our ADSs and common shares, or the perception of a potential issuance or sale, may adversely affect the market price of our ADSs and common shares

The market price for our common shares may vary significantly in the event a significant number of our common shares is issued or sold by us, our directors and officers or any other relevant shareholders or in the event there is a perception in the market that we, our directors and officers or a relevant shareholder intends to issue or sell, as the case may be, a significant number of common shares.

You may be unable to exercise preemptive rightsrights.

TheLey Sobre Sociedades Anónimas, Law No. 18,046 and theReglamento de Sociedades Anónimas, which we refer to collectively as the Chilean Corporations Law,Act, and applicable regulations establish that whenever we issue new common shares for cash, we are obligated by law to grant preemptive rights to all of our shareholders (including the depositary on behalf of the holders of ADSs), giving them the right to purchase a sufficient number of shares to maintain their existing ownership percentage. However, we may not be able to offer shares to United States holders of ADSs pursuant to preemptive rights granted to our shareholders in connection with any future issuance of common shares unless a registration statement under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Act, is effective with respect to such rights and common shares, or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Act is available.

Our existing shareholders who do not participate in any future preemptive rights offering will suffer an immediate dilution of their percentage equity participation in us. In addition, investors who purchase ADSs or common shares may be subject to dilution of their equity participation in us upon the completion of any future preemptive rights offering. Investors will not know the extent to which they will be diluted until the expiration of any future preemptive rights offering in Chile.

We may also need to seek additional funding in the financial and capital markets in the future. We may resort to public or private offerings of common shares, including common shares in the form of ADSs, or securities convertible or exchangeable into, or that in any other manner allow for the subscription of, common shares, including common shares in the form of ADSs. Any public or private offering of common shares, including common shares in the form of ADSs, or securities convertible or exchangeable into ADSs or common shares, may dilute our existing shareholders’ interests in us or may have an adverse impact on the value of our ADSs and common shares.

You may have fewer and less well defined shareholders’ rights than with shares of a company in the United StatesStates.

Our corporate affairs are governed by ourEstatutos Sociales, or By-laws, and the laws of Chile. Under such laws, our shareholders may have fewer or less well-defined rights than they might have as shareholders of a corporation incorporated in a U.S. jurisdiction. For example, under legislation applicable to Chilean banks, our shareholders would not be entitled to appraisal rights in the event of a merger or other business combination undertaken by us.

Holders of ADSs are not entitled to attend shareholders’ meetings, and they may only vote through the depositarydepositary.

Under Chilean law, a shareholder is required to be registered in our shareholders’ registry at least five business days before a shareholders’ meeting in order to vote at such meeting. A holder of ADSs will not be able to meet this requirement, and accordingly is not entitled to vote at shareholders’ meetings, because the shares underlying the ADSs will be registered in the name of the depositary. While a holder of ADSs is entitled to instruct the depositary as to how to vote the shares represented by ADSs in accordance with the procedures provided for in the deposit agreement, a holder of ADSs will not be able to vote its shares directly at a shareholders’ meeting or to appoint a proxy to do so. In certain instances, a discretionary proxy may vote our shares underlying the ADSs if a holder of ADSs does not instruct the depositary with respect to voting. In addition, the vote of a holder of ADSs may not be necessary to approve certain matters since under Chilean law, substantially all of the forms of corporate action can be approved with the votes of our controlling shareholder in a duly summoned shareholders’ meeting, Corp Group Banking and other investment companies such as Compañía Inmobiliaria y de Inversiones Saga SpA (or Saga), which are owned by Mr. Saieh Bendeck and his family, except for certain matters requiring supermajority approval according to Chilean law.

U.S. holders of our ADSs or common shares could suffer adverse tax consequences if the Company is characterized as a passive foreign investment company.

If you are a U.S. holder (as defined in “Item 10. Additional Information—E. Taxation—U.S. federal income tax considerations”) and we are a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for any taxable year during which you own our ADSs or common shares, you could be subject to adverse U.S. tax consequences. As of the date of this Annual Report, we do not expect to be classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for our current taxable year or for any taxable year in the foreseeable future. However, the determination of whether we are a PFIC is made on an annual basis and will depend on the composition and nature of our income and the composition, nature and value of our assets from time to time, and therefore no assurance can be provided regarding our PFIC status. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal, state and local and other tax consequences of owning and disposing of the ADSs or common shares in your particular circumstances. See Item 10. Additional Information—E. Taxation—U.S. federal income tax considerations”, for additional information related to the PFIC rules and their application to the bank.

Holders of the ADSs or our common shares could be subject to a 30% U.S. withholding tax.

Pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, and U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, a 30% withholding tax may be imposed on all or some of the payments on the ADSs or our common stock after December 31, 20162018 to holders and non-U.S. financial institutions receiving payments on behalf of holders that, in each case, fail to comply with information reporting, certification and related requirements. This withholding tax, if it applies, could apply to any payment made with respect to the ADSs or our common stock, and ADSs or shares of our common stock held through a non-compliant institution may be subject to withholding even if the holder otherwise would not be subject to withholding. U.S. holders are urged to consult their tax advisers regarding the application of these rules to their ownership of the ADSs or our common stock. See Item 10. Additional Information—E. Taxation—U.S. federal income tax considerations”, for additional information related to these rules and their application to holders of ADSs or our common shares.

Exchange controls and withholding taxes in Chile may limit repatriation of your investment.

Equity investments in Chile by persons who are not Chilean residents are generally subject to various exchange control regulations that govern the repatriation of investments and earnings. The ADSs are governed by an agreement among us, the depositary and the Central Bank of Chile, or the Foreign Investment Agreement. The Foreign Investment Agreement grants the depositary and the holders of the ADRs access to Chile’s Formal Exchange Market, permits the depositary to remit dividends it receives from us to the holders of ADSs and permits the holders of ADSs to repatriate the proceeds of the sale of shares withdrawn from the ADR facility, thereby enabling them to acquire on more favorable terms currencies necessary to repatriate investments in the shares and earnings therefrom.

Pursuant to current Chilean law, the Foreign Investment Agreement may not be amended unilaterally by the Central Bank of Chile, and there are judicial precedents (which are not binding with respect to future judicial decisions) indicating that the Foreign Investment Agreement may not be voided by future legislative changes.

Dividends received by holders of ADSs are paid net of foreign currency exchange fees and fees and expenses of the depositary and are subject to Chilean withholding tax, currently imposed at a rate of 35%, subject to credits in certain cases as described under “Item 10. Additional Information—E. Taxation—Chilean Tax Considerations”. In order to facilitate capital movements from and into Chile and to encourage foreign investment, the Central Bank of Chile eliminated many foreign exchange restrictions and adopted the Compendium of Foreign Exchange Regulations (Compendio de Normas de Cambios Internacionales) effective April 19, 2001.

We cannot assure you that additional Chilean restrictions applicable to the holders of ADRs, the disposition of the shares underlying the ADRs or the repatriation of the proceeds from such disposition or the payment of dividends will not be imposed in the future, nor can we advise as to the duration or impact of such restrictions if imposed. If for any reason, including changes in the Foreign Investment Agreement or Chilean law, the depositary was able to convert Chilean pesos to U.S. dollars, investors would receive dividends or other distributions, if any, in Chilean pesos.

The terms “CorpBanca,” “the bank,” “we,” “us” and “our” in this Annual Report refer to CorpBanca together with its subsidiaries unless otherwise specified.

HISTORY

We are Chile’s oldest operating bank, incorporated as Banco de Concepción by Decree No. 180 of the Chilean Ministry of Finance on October 3, 1871, and legally began operations as a bank on October 16th16 of the same year. We were founded by a group of residents of the Citycity of Concepción, Chile, led by Aníbal Pinto, who would later become President of Chile. In 1971, Banco de Concepción was transferred to a government agency,Corporación de Fomento de la Producción(the Chilean Corporation for the Development of Production, or CORFO). Also in 1971, Banco de Concepción acquired Banco Francés e Italiano in Chile, which provided for the expansion of Banco de Concepción into Santiago. In 1972 and 1975, the bank acquired Banco de Chillán and Banco de Valdivia, respectively. In November 1975, CORFO sold its shares of the bank to private business persons, who took control of the bank in 1976. In 1980, the name of the bank was changed to Banco Concepción. In 1983, control of Banco Concepción was assumed by the SBIF. The bank remained under the control of the SBIF through 1986, when it was acquired bySociedad Nacional de Minería (the Chilean National Mining Society, or SONAMI). Under SONAMI’s control, Banco Concepción focused on providing financing to small- and medium-sized mining interests, increased its capital and sold a portion of its high-risk portfolio to the Central Bank of Chile. Investors led by Mr. Alvaro Saieh Bendeck purchased a majority interest of Banco Concepción from SONAMI in 1996. For over 20twenty years, Mr. Saieh Bendeck has directed the acquisition, creation and operation of a number of commercial banks, mutual fund companies, insurance companies and other financial entities in Chile and other parts of Latin America.

Following our acquisition by Mr. Alvaro Saieh Bendeck in 1996, we began to take significant steps to improve our credit risk policies, increase operating efficiency and expand our operations. These steps included applying stricter provisioning and charge-off standards to our loan portfolio, cost cutting measures and technological improvements. We also changed our name to CorpBanca, and hired a management team with substantial experience in the Chilean financial services industry. Severalindustry and commenced a period of significant growth fueled by organic expansion and acquisitions. In our senior officers, prior to joining CorpBanca, were employed by Banco Osorno y La Union prior to its merger with Banco Santander-Chile in 1996. In addition,first significant transactions, we significantly expanded our operations in 1998 throughacquired the acquisitionassets of the consumer loan division of Corfinsa (which was formerly a consumer loan division of Banco Sud Americano, currently Scotiabank Chile) and the finance company Financiera Condell S.A. In November 2002, we completed the largest equity capital-raising transaction in Chile during1998. In that year providing us with Ch$111,732 million (approximately US$238.9 million using the exchange rate that was in effect as of December 31, 2002) in capital to help implement our growth strategies. During this time, we also consolidated our information technology systems into a single, integrated platform, Integrated Banking System, or IBS, a central information system that replaced a number of systems, providing us with a single, central electronic database that gives us up-to-date customer information in each of our business lines and calculates net earnings and profitability of each product and client segment.

In June 2012, CorpBanca finalized the acquisition of a 91.9% interest in Banco Santander Colombia S.A (now CorpBanca Colombia), which gave CorpBanca control over CorpBanca Colombia’s 94.9% ownership stake in CorpBanca Investment Valores Colombia S.A., or CIVAL and CorpBanca Colombia’s 94.5% ownership stake in CorpBanca Investment Trust Colombia S.A., or CIT Colombia. In addition, in June 2012, CorpBanca acquired an additional 5.06% interest in CIVAL.

The participation of CorpBanca in CorpBanca Colombia was 66.39% as of December 31, 2013 as compared to 91.93% as of December 31, 2012 following a capital increase by CorpBanca Colombia in 2013 in which CorpBanca participated in a smaller proportion than the remaining shareholders. Finally, CorpBanca’s ownership stake in CorpBanca Colombia decreased to 66.28% in June, 2014 after the merger of this subsidiary with Helm Bank.

On August 6, 2013 we acquired approximately 99.75% of the ordinary shares of Helm Bank (reflecting approximately 87.42% of the ordinary and preferred shares then issued by Helm Bank), a commercial and retail bank in Colombia, including its subsidiaries in Colombia, Panamá, and the CaymánCayman Islands. In the fourth quarter of 2013, we initiated a tender offer to acquire the remaining equity interest in Helm Bank from the remaining minority shareholders. We completed this tender offer in January 2014,

resulting in the acquisition by us of an aggregate amount of 99.78% of Helm Bank. On June 1, 2014, we completed the acquisition process of Helm Bank by merging Helm Bank with and into CorpBanca Colombia, with CorpBanca Colombia being the surviving entity. As we mentioned before, after this process, CorpBanca’s ownership in CorpBanca Colombia decreased to 66.28%.

On September 1, 2014, Helm Comisionista de Bolsa S.A. merged with and into CorpBanca Investment Valores Colombia S.A., with CorpBanca Investment Valores Colombia S.A. being the surviving company. Immediately upon consummation of the

merger, CorpBanca Investment Valores Colombia S.A. assumed the Helm Comisionista de Bolsa S.A. name. The customers and product portfolio of both entities were maintained in the new mergemerged entity.

Our loan portfolio (excluding loans to banks) has grown at a compounded annual growth rate in nominal terms of 13.4% between December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2015. As of December 31, 2015, according to the SBIF, we were the fourth largest private bank in Chile in terms of the overall size of our loan portfolio (10.4% market share on a consolidated basis and 7.2% market share on an unconsolidated basis only taking into account our operations in Chile, each as reported to the SBIF calculated under local regulatory and accounting principles).

For the year ended December 31, 2015, we had net interest income of Ch$620,579 and net income of Ch$238,665.

Our risk management strategy has enabled us to maintain what we believe are solid solvency ratios and risk indicators, notwithstanding high levels of volatility in the financial markets over the past years. Despite of the above, our capital ratios levels decreased from 12.4% to 9.5% between 2014 and 2015, following the approval of the merger with Banco Itaú Chile, considering that our shareholders, together with approving the merger, approved a special dividend distribution in the amount of Ch$239.86 billion that was paid on July 1, 2015. In that specific context, our capital ratios reported on December 2015 are temporary impacted and limited to the period ending with the merger that will occur no later than May 2, 2016. As of December 31, 2015, we had an allowance for loan losses to total loans ratio of 1.2%. We have achieved an average annual return on equity of 14.8% between 2012 and 2015. As of December 31, 2015, we had 127 branches and 417 ATMs in Chile and 177 branches and 180 ATMs in Colombia.

The Pending Itaú-CorpBanca Merger1

As a result of the steps we have taken since the 1996 acquisition, we have developed a number of significant competitive strengths that we believe will continue to contribute to our growth potential. These include operating efficiencies, improved asset quality, an experienced management team, and a strong technological infrastructure. We believe that these strengths position us well for continued growth in the Chilean and Colombian financial services industries.

Our loan portfolio (excluding loans to banks) has grown at a compounded annual growth rate in nominal terms of 27.8% between December 31, 2011In this context and December 31, 2014. As of December 31, 2014, according to the SBIF, we were the fourth largest private bank in Chile in terms of the overall size of our loan portfolio (11.3% market share on a consolidated basis and 7.4% market share on an unconsolidated basis only taking into account our operations in Chile, each as reported to the SBIF calculated under local regulatory and accounting principles). As of December 31, 2014, we had total assets of Ch$20,357,027 million, including total loans of Ch$14,029,875 million, total deposits of Ch$8,076,966 million, shareholders’ equity (excluding net income for the trailing twelve months and provision for mandatory dividend) of Ch$1,345,155 million and our return on average shareholders’ equity was 15.7% for the trailing twelve months. For the year ended December 31, 2014, we had net interest income of Ch$630,884 million and net income of Ch$273,701 million.

Our risk management strategy has enabled us to maintain what we believe are solid solvency ratios and risk indicators, notwithstanding recent high levels of volatility in the financial markets. As of December 31, 2014, we had a BIS capital-weighted assets ratio of 12.39% and allowance for loan losses to total loans of 1.0%. We have achieved an average annual return on equity of 14.9% between 2011 and 2014. As of December 31, 2014, we had 127 branches and 414 ATMs in Chile and 171 branches and 180 ATMs in Colombia.

The Pending Itaú-CorpBanca Merger

Pursuantpursuant to CorpBanca’s regionalization strategy, during 2013, CorpBanca conducted a process involving severalsome Latin American and global banks as potential partners in order to explore a strategic alliance to further expand CorpBanca’s reach and capabilities. Consequently, after conducting a comprehensive and competitive process for identifying a merger partner, on January 29, 2014, we and our controlling shareholders entered into thea Transaction Agreement with Itaú Chile and its parent entity, Itaú Unibanco, or the Transaction Agreement, whereby we agreed to merge with Itaú Chile, or the Transaction Agreement.Chile. As part of that process, we retained two investment banks (Merrill(Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Goldman, Sachs & Co.) as financial advisors in connection with the merger transaction and with the purpose of conducting the process. We and our financial advisors contacted multiple well-known international and Chilean banks who were believed to potentially be interested in a merger. The goal of the process was to obtain the best transaction (in terms of value and certainty of closing) for us and all of our shareholders. After a thorough analysis by us and our financial advisors and Chilean and U.S. legal advisors of the indications of interest received from the different parties and discussions with certain of the parties, we concluded that Itaú Chile offered the best available transaction for us and all our shareholders.

The Itaú-CorpBanca Merger was subject to regulatory approvals from certain Brazilian, Colombian, Chilean, Panamanian and United States regulators and also subject to the approval of theOur shareholders of CorpBanca and Itaú Chile. As of the date of this annual report, we have received the required regulatory approvals from the Brazilian, Colombian, Panamanian and United States regulators. However,approved the Itaú-CorpBanca Merger remains subject to the receipt the of regulatory approval from the SBIFin an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting held on June 26, 2015 and the approval of the shareholders of CorpBanca and Itaú Chile. Assuming such approval is granted, and subject to customary closing conditions, Itaú Chile will mergegave their consent to the merger in an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting held on June 30, 2015. Additionally, as of the date hereof, we have received all required regulatory approvals in connection with and into CorpBanca, with CorpBanca as the surviving entity. TheItaú-CorpBanca Merger. Following the Itaú-CorpBanca Merger, the name of the merged bank will be Itaú-CorpBanca.-CorpBanca and it will operate under the Itaú brand. We expect the Itaú-CorpBanca Merger to close in the second half of 2015.no later than May 2, 2016.

After the closing of the Itaú-CorpBanca Merger, Itaú Unibanco and our current controlling shareholders will beneficially own 33.58% and 33.13% of our outstanding common shares, respectively. PriorPursuant to the Transaction Agreement, Itaú Unibanco committed to inject US$652 million prior to the closing of the Itaú-CorpBanca Merger, Itaú Unibanco will inject US$652 million into Itaú Chile in a capital increase.obligation that has been fulfilled. In connection with the Transaction Agreement, our controlling shareholders have agreed that at the closing of the Itaú-CorpBanca Merger, they will enter into the Itaú-CorpBanca Shareholders Agreement, whereby Itaú Unibanco will control the merged bank, or Itaú-CorpBanca, after the consummation of the Itaú-CorpBanca Merger. For a description of the Itaú-CorpBanca Shareholders Agreement and the Transaction Agreement, see Item 10. Additional Information—C. Material Contracts.

1All figures related to synergies or savings and one time expenses expressed in US dollars in this section were converted at an exchange rate of 544.10 Ch$/US$ at the time of the announcement of the transaction in January, 2014.

Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, after the closing of the Itaú-CorpBanca Merger, Itaú-CorpBanca will acquire the operations of Itaú Unibanco in Colombia by acquiring the shares of Itaú Colombia at an aggregate price equivalent to their book value of approximately US$170100 million. Alternatively, if the minority shareholders of CorpBanca Colombia accept the offer to sell their shares in CorpBanca Colombia to Itaú-CorpBanca after the closing of the Itaú-CorpBanca Merger, Itaú-CorpBanca will acquire the operations of Itaú Unibanco through a merger of Itaú Colombia with and into CorpBanca Colombia. To that effect,Furthermore, Itaú-CorpBanca will offer to acquire the CorpBanca Colombia shares held by the minority shareholders of CorpBanca Colombia representing 33.6% of the outstanding shares (including the shares indirectly owned by Inversiones Corp Group Interhold Limitada, or Interhold and Inversiones Gasa Limitada, or Gasa and together with Interhold, CorpGroup Parent, representing 12.38%12.36 % of CorpBanca Colombia’s outstanding capital stock and that CorpGroup Parent has agreed to sell to Itaú-CorpBanca), through a cash offer in the aggregate amount of US$894330 million. This offer to purchase for cash implies a valuation of CorpBanca Colombia of approximately US$2.66 billion (which is the same valuation assigned to CorpBanca Colombia for the purpose of determining the valuation of CorpBanca for the Itaú-CorpBanca Merger). If the minority shareholders of CorpBanca Colombia agree to sell their shares, our shareholders could benefit even further from synergies resulting from the merger of CorpBanca Colombia and Itaú Colombia.

The Itaú-CorpBanca Merger is expected to be beneficial to us and all of our shareholders for the following principal strategic reasons:

 

On an estimated basis Itaú-CorpBanca would be the fourth largest private bank in Chile measured by total loans with a 12.6%12.3% market share (compared to the 7.4%7.2% market share we have on a stand-alone basis) as of December 31, 2014;2015;

 

we and Itaú Chile have complementary segments, products and lines of business;

 

the combination of both banks would result in a merged bank with a solid capital base and improved funding profile;

 

the merger’s potential to generate significant synergies; and

 

the combination of our and Itaú Unibanco’s operations in Colombia would provide the merged bank with a strong framework to reach a stronger position in the Colombian market.

We believe that the Itaú-CorpBanca Merger represents a significant opportunity to generate synergies that we believe will translate into financial savings and cost reductions in various aspects of our business starting on the third anniversary of the closing of the merger. From a human resources perspective, we expect to capitalize on relevant synergies relating to the optimization of the merged bank’s organizational structures, which we estimate will result in pre-tax savings amounting toof approximately US$55 million to US$67 million annually. Furthermore, we estimate that pre-tax savings associated with scalable IT systems will amount to approximately US$16 million to US$19 million annually and other savings derived from an enhanced branch network will be in the range of approximately US$8 million to US$10 million annually. Moreover, we expect reductions in administrative expenses and costs of services by service providers of both Itaú Chile and us in the range of US$15 million to US$18 million pre-tax annually.

In addition, we also expect significant improvements in part of our funding costs compared to the costcosts of funding we have today, as well as substantial revenue synergies (which were not considered in the cost synergies described above). Assuming fully phased-in pre-tax synergies of approximately US$100 million per year during the first three years after the consummation of the Itaú-CorpBanca Merger, and excluding one-time integration costs of approximately US$85 million pre tax to be incurred during those first three years, the transaction will be accretive from an earnings per share perspective for all our shareholders from the first year after the closing.

We also expect a significant improvement in the capital position of the merged bank. We will combine our current Tier I Capital of approximately US$2.92.1 billion with Itaú Chile’s US$1.81.7 billion (including US$652 million capital injection to be madecompleted prior to Closing), providing the merged bank with a considerably larger capital base to support further growth.

From a commercial and strategic perspective, the Itaú-CorpBanca Merger is expected to create a regional leaderplayer and constitute a unique opportunity for us to partner with a leading financial institution in the region. Itaú Unibanco is the largest private financial institution in Brazil and a premier franchise in Latin America, which will allow us to benefit from a strong market capitalization in our existing markets while enhancing opportunities for growth in other markets, by leveraging Itaú Unibanco’s global client relationships and enabling the merged bank to expand its banking products’ offering. The enhanced footprint that Itaú-CorpBanca will have in Chile and Colombia is also expected to provide greater scale and resources to grow and compete more effectively in those countries, consolidating our position as the fourth largest private bank in Chile measured by total loans with a combined market share of 12.6%12.3% as of December 31, 20142015 (compared to the 7.4%7.2% market share that we had as of December 31, 2014,2015, on an unconsolidated basis in Chile). In addition, this enhanced footprint will function as a platform to expand in the region, in particular into Peru and Central America.

B. BUSINESS OVERVIEW

B.BUSINESS OVERVIEW

COMPETITIVE STRENGTHS

We believe that our current profitability and competitive advantages are the result of the following strengths:

Strong Market Position and Financial Performance

We believe that our strong position in the Chilean banking market has helped us achieve proportionately higher and more stable profits than our competitors. We are among the market leaders in Chile. According to the SBIF, as of December 31, 2014,2015, we ranked fourth among private banks in total loans with 11.3%10.4% market share on a consolidated basis and 7.4%7.2% market share on an unconsolidated basis (taking into account only our operations in Chile). Additionally, as of the same date, the SBIF ranked us fourth in deposits with 11.4%10.8% market share on a consolidated basis and fourth on an unconsolidated basis (only taking into account our operations in Chile) with a 6.9%7.1% market share among private banks in the Chilean market. We have growndecreased our market share in total loans by 354120 basis points during the 2011-20142012-2015 period on a consolidated basis. For the three years ended December 31, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2014,2015, we had net income of Ch$119,153175,239 million, Ch$175,239273,701 million and Ch$273,701238,665 million, respectively.

In 2014 CorpBanca obtained very positive results. Both2015, both our operations in Chile and Colombia allowed us to reach a net income of Ch$ 273,701238,665 million, an increasea decrease of 56.2%12.8% compared to 2013.2014. This increasedecrease was primarily due to growing commercial activityhigher provisions for loan losses, a negative currency translation effect between COP$ and Ch$ relating to our Colombian subsidiary and the negative impact of lower inflation in Chile where we have consolidated our businessduring the year on net interest margin and higher tax rates that offset positive commercial customers-driven results in key areas of the Chilean economy, including infrastructureChile and public works, among other reasons,synergies already delivered in Colombia, in each case, as further discussed below in “Item 5—Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—A. Operating Results—The Economy—Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2014—2015— Net Income”. This has enabled us to achieveWhile 2014 showed stronger results from Colombia, during 2015 our Chilean results exceeded our expectations while Colombia results were below our expectations. Therefore, we achieved sustained growth in Chile over this period, despite facing an increasingly complex domestic and international economic environment,environments characterized by lower expectations regarding economic prospects and increasing uncertainty regarding significant expected legal reforms in Chile. The consolidation of our business in the segments of Commercial Banking, Traditional and Private Banking and Lower Income Retail Banking was important to our achieving these results by allowing us to be represented in all segments of the Chilean economy. Additionally,Despite lower than expected, our results were helped by the positive results that our subsidiary, CorpBanca Colombia, experienced in 2014. CorpBanca Colombia’s positive results were helped by the completion of the acquisition of Helm Bank in 2013 and the consolidation of Helm Bank into our consolidated financial statements for a full year in 2014. The consolidated2015. CorpBanca Colombia was the sixth largest bank in ColombianColombia as of December 31, 2014,2015, in terms of total loans, with a significant presence in the segments of companies and high and middle-income individuals.

Pending Itaú-CorpBanca Merger

We believe that the pending Itaú-CorpBanca Merger will provide us a competitive advantage over our competitors. In particular, the merger is expected to provide us with the opportunity to partner with a premier Latin American franchise and give us the ability to leverage Itaú Unibanco´sUnibanco’s strong global client relationships. On an estimated basis, Itaú-CorpBanca is expected to be the fourth largest private bank in Chile with US$47.241.4 billion in assets, US$33.730.5 billion in loans and US$27.825.1 billion in total deposits. With this increased size, the institution is expected to be able to exploit various cross-selling opportunities and benefit from additional synergies through: (i) the optimization of cost structures, (ii) savings derived from an enhanced branch network, (iii) savings derived from scalable IT systems, (iv) improvements in the cost of funding and (v) the ability to further leverage Tier I Capital. In addition, we and Itaú Chile have complementary segments, products and lines of business, and the combination of the entities is expected to result in a merged bank with a solid capital base and a strong framework to reach a stronger position in the Colombian market.

We also expect a significant improvement in the capital position of the merged bank. Our current Tier I Capital of approximately US$2.92.1 billion, combined with Itaú Chile’s Tier I Capital of approximately US$1.81.7 billion (including US$652 million capital injection into CorpBanca to be made prior to closing), will provide the merged bank with a considerably larger capital base to support further growth.

The enhanced footprint that Itaú CorpBanca will have in Chile and Colombia is also expected to provide greater scale and resources to grow and compete more effectively within those countries, further consolidating our position as the fourth largest private bank in Chile measured by total loans with a combined market share of 12.6%12.3% as of December 31, 20142015 compared to the 7.4%7.2% market share that we had as of December 31, 20142015 on an unconsolidated basis.

Diversified Footprint in Chile and Colombia

We believe that our successful acquisition and integration of Banco Santander Colombia and Helm Bank gives us a distinct advantage over our competitors in Chile and Colombia. We are the first and as of the date of this Annual Report,until September 30, 2015 we were the only Chilean basedChilean-based bank to acquire a universal bank outside Chile. As of today, we remain the only Chilean-based bank to have a footprint in Colombia.Colombia through a universal bank. As of December 31, 2014,2015, according to the Colombian Superintendency of Finance, CorpBanca Colombia was the sixth largest bank in Colombia in terms of total assets and the sixth largest bank in Colombia in terms of total loans.

Experienced Management Team

Our qualified and experienced management teams have played an important role in guiding our growth. Our largest shareholder, Mr. Alvaro Saieh Bendeck who resigned as Chairman of the Board in February 2012, has over 28twenty nine years of experience in the Chilean financial industry. Mr. Saieh Bendeck is committed to continuing his relationship with CorpBanca on matters concerning strategic development, control and new business. Our Chairmanchairman of the Boardboard of Directors,directors, Mr. Jorge Andrés Saieh Guzmán, who became Chairmanchairman of the Boardboard in February 2012, has over 15sixteen years experience as a member of the Boardboard of Directorsdirectors and more than threefour years experience as First Vice Chairman.first vice chairman. Our chief executive officer, or CEO until March 28, 2016, Fernando Massú, has over 31more than thirty two years of experience in the banking and financial services industry, and is expected to continue to serve as a member of the Board of Directors after the Itaú-CorpBanca Merger comes into effect.industry. Our Chief Financial Officer,chief financial officer, or CFO, Eugenio Gigogne, has over 25twenty five years of experience in the banking and financial services industry. The CEO of CorpBanca Colombia, Jaime Munita Valdivieso, has over 21twenty two years of experience in the banking and financial services industry. The members of the board of directors of CorpBanca Colombia also have a wealth of experience in the Colombian market and the banking and financial services industry.

As set forth inpreviously announced by us on November 23, 2015, our management structure is expected to change immediately following the Transaction Agreement, after closing of the Itaú-CorpBanca Merger. In particular, Fernando Massú has communicated his resignation as CEO, of Itaú-CorpBancaeffective as from March 28, 2016, and is expected to be Boris Buvinic, who has servedreplaced by Milton Maluhy Filho, as soon as the Itaú-CorpBanca Merger is consumated. Mr. Maluhy Filho joined Itaú Unibanco in 2003 and became a partner in 2011. He is currently the banking industryCEO of Banco Itaú Chile. Previously, he was CEO of Rede S.A.

Although, the current composition of the board of directors of Itaú-CorpBancaCorpBanca is expected to materially change given the change of control in favor of Itaú Unibanco once the Itaú-CorpBanca Merger is consumated, Jorge Andrés Saieh Guzmán is expected to retain his position as Chairmanchairman of the board of directors.

Sound Risk Management

We believe that we have asset quality that is superior to the market average. We have maintained our asset quality, as evidenced by our ratio of non-performing loan to total loans of 1.3% as of December 31, 2014,2015, and a ratio of charge-offs to average outstanding loans of 0.7%0.8% as of December 31, 2014.2015. We believe that we have a risk management system that enables us to identify risks and resolve potential problems on a timely basis and we have made a series of investments to improve the technology we use to manage risk. We have also employed our risk management system and philosophy to identify potential acquisition targets with high asset quality.

Operating in a Stable Economic Environment within Latin America

We conduct a majority of our business in Chile and a significant amount in Colombia. The Chilean and Colombian economies have generally demonstrated strong macroeconomic fundamentals in terms of Gross Domestic Product, or GDP, per capita with 1.9% and 4.6%inflation; nevertheless in the past two years, the macroeconomic environment in both countries has shown mild GDP per capita growth (1.2% and low inflation of 4.6% and 3.7%1.3% during 20142015 in Chile and Colombia, respectively. Therespectively) and a shift in the inflation trend (4.4% and 6.8% during 2015 in Chile and Colombia, respectively). Still, the Chilean economy is generally recognized as among the most stable in Latin America, as evidenced by its investment grade ratings of AA- by Standard & Poor’s, A+ by Fitch Ratings and Aa3 by Moody’s, the highest ratings in the region. Chile has consistently received investment-grade credit ratings since Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s started coverage in 1992 and 1994, respectively. Standard & Poor’s and Fitch Ratings have an investment grade rating of Colombia of BBB, with a “stable” outlook. Moody’s has an investment grade rating of Colombia of Baa2, with a “stable” outlook.

STRATEGY

Our strategy aims at enhancing our market position in the Chilean and Colombian financial services industry in terms of profitability, market share and service coverage. The key elements of our strategy are:

Continue to Grow our Operations Profitably as a Universal Bank

We seek to achieve organic growth by offering competitive products and services to our clients in all of our lines of business in Chile and Colombia. We believe that we have developed a successful wholesale banking business model, which allows us to realize high margins on the cross-selling of our products to our large corporate clients, and we intend to continue to expand our wholesale banking business model to our operations in Colombia. We are focusing our marketing and sales efforts on adapting this business model to apply to our SME clients in Chile and Colombia. Additionally, we believe that our strong franchise in the retail banking segment offers us the potential for significant growth in our loan portfolio, in the low-, mid- and high-income segments. In particular, we believe that there is significant opportunity to expand our wealth management business through the offering of unique investment products and opportunities that we benefit from as a member of CorpGroup. We believe Itaú and CorpBanca will beare complementary banking operations given their market positions,position, which are expected towill enhance our competitive positioning and help enrich our client servicing models. In addition, we seek to identify and pursue growth-enhancing strategic opportunities. We will continue to evaluate additional strategic acquisitions and alliances from time to time, inside and outside of Chile and Colombia.

Further Penetrate the Colombian Financial Services Market

We intend to capitalize on the growth of the Colombian market given that we believe that our Colombian operation will offer us significant opportunities for growth in the financial services industry. Specifically, we expect to benefit from the lowcomparable lower banking penetration rates and growthhigher in terms of GDP per capita in Colombia. The Banco SantanderCorpBanca Colombia Acquisition, the Helm Bank Acquisition and the pending Itaú-CorpBanca Merger demonstrate our commitment to the Colombian financial services market. With respect to our current operations in Colombia, in order to improve operational efficiency and increase market share in key sectors, we intend to implement our commercial and operational standards and best practices of CorpBanca Colombia, while capitalizing on the local management expertise, customer base, services and products. WeWith the Itaú-Corpbanca merger, we expect to achieve a stronger penetration of the wholesale market in Colombia as a result of the consolidation of Corporación Financiera Itaú BBA into our business and also intend to leverage our relationship with the IFC, to benefit our operations in Colombia.leveraging retail banking best practices from Itaú Unibanco’s Brazil operations.

Actively Pursue Cross-Selling Opportunities

We intend to increase our market share and profitability by continuing to cross-sell services and products to our existing clients. We have instituted processes that facilitate our ability to offer additional financial services to our clients, which we believe will increase our revenues from fees for value-added services. In addition, we cross-sell loan products to our checking and savings account customers that are tailored to their individual needs and financial situation. We also believe thatThe Itaú-CorpBanca Merger Will provide further opportunities to offer our relationship withclients an improved product menu leveraging the companies that are controlled by Mr. Saieh Bendeck (that constitute CorpGroup) will allow us to add clientsstrong internation position of Itaú Unibanco in both wholesale and increase our profitability in the near future. For example, we install our ATMs and distribute our banking products in CorpGroup retail outlets throughout Chile.business.

Efficiency

We are committed to continuing to improve our operating efficiency and profitability. We continue to update our branch operations to allow for an increased level of customer “self-help”. We are also working to increase use of internet and mobile banking by our customers, offering better quality. This strategy has allowed us to win in 2015 for the fourthfifth year the Global Finance Award as Best Banking WebsiteDigital Bank for Companies in Chile, in recognition of an online service excellence. We have implemented a central information system that provides us with a single, central electronic database that gives us up-to-date customer information in each of our business lines and calculates net earnings and profitability of each transaction, product and client segment savings. Our senior management is focused on implementing technological solutions aimed at identifying means of improving our overall profitability and optimizing our cost structure, such as online time deposits which have an innovative product of great success in Chile. CorpBanca Colombia implemented the “AzulNet”, a portal with new features, faster response time and optimized services for business and retail customers. Through these initiatives, we will continue to strive to improve our efficiency ratio. As of December 31, 2014,2015, we had a consolidated efficiency ratio of 50.5%47.3% (defined as operating expenses as a percentage of operating revenue consisting of aggregate of net interest income, fees and income from services (net), net gains from mark-to-market and trading, exchange differences (net) and other operating income (net)). This percentage represented a slight decrease compared to 51.1%50.5% as of December 31, 2013. Nevertheless, when2014. When we split CorpBanca and CorpBanca Colombia from a management point of view, the recovery trend in both countries is similar: 47.3% vs. 50.5% in Chile is much stronger: 48.0% vs. 43.6% in 2015 and 2014, and 2013,47.2% vs. 50.6% in Colombia in 2015 and 2014, respectively. On the other hand, Colombia is still impacted by one-time costs due to the process of integrating Helm Bank into CorpBanca Colombia and the amortization of intangible assets which led to an efficiency ratio of 53.1% in 2014 (61.5% in 2013).

As a result of the recently announcedour partnership with Itaú Chile, after the consummation of the CorpBanca-Itaú Merger, we will enjoy several benefits, including a greater scale and resources to compete more effectively and more efficiently. The combined entity has the potential to generate significant synergies in Chile which will result in significant efficiency improvements.

This is a key component of our strategy in order to retain and continue to create value while we finalize the integration of Helm Bank and while we consummate the merger with, and integrateintegration with Itaú Chile’s operations into our own in the coming years.operations.

We continue to seek attractive opportunities to improve our profitability.

To reduce our exposure to interest rate fluctuations and inflation with respect to our residential mortgage UF-denominated portfolio, a portion of these mortgages are funded through the issuance of letters of credit loans in the Chilean financial market, which bear a real market rate of interest plus a fixed spread over the rate of variation of the UF. The letters of credit loans are exclusively used to finance certain mortgage loans that as of December 31, 20142015 represented only 2.9%2.4% of our mortgage loan portfolio. At the time of approval, these types of mortgage loans cannot be more than 75% of the lower of the purchase price or the appraised value of the mortgaged property or such loan will be classified as a commercial loan. Letters of credit loans are general unsecured obligations, and we are liable for all principal and accrued interest on such letters.

Residential mortgage loans are financed with our general funds, particularly through the issuance of long-term subordinated bonds. In addition, we generally require that the monthly payments on residential mortgage loans do not exceed 25% of the borrower’s household after-tax monthly income.

We continue to increase our marketing efforts relating to our mortgage services. Our market penetration for mortgage products has historically been lower than our overall Chilean market share for all banking products, which as of December 31, 20142015 was 5.5%4.8%. As a result of competitive pricing, product innovation, timely customer service, product knowledge as well as our overall focus on mortgage services, we have been able to achieve our recent results and increase our market share. This is the case as the ratios compare the collateral’s fair value to our loans and receivables portfolio values. Accordingly, our market share for mortgage products was 6.3%5.7%, 5.7%5.5% and 5.5%4.8% as of December 31, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2014,2015, respectively. We intend to continue to grow in this market.

Where appropriate, we obtain collateral in respect of our loans and receivables from customers. The collateral normally takes the form of a real estate mortgage (i.e., urban and rural properties, agricultural lands, maritime vessels and aircraft, mineral rights and other assets) and liens (i.e., inventories, agricultural goods, industrial goods, plantations and other property pledged as security) over the customer’s assets. The existence and amount of collateral generally varies from loan to loan.

Consumer Loans. We offer personal consumer loans for a variety of purposes, including personal loans (with automatic payments deducted from a checking or credit card account and with life, home and/or unemployment insurance); university and post-graduate education loans (including life insurance). Our consumer loans are generally installment loans denominated in Chilean pesos or UF, bear interest at fixed or variable rates and typically have maturities up to five years with the exception of university and post-graduate education loans, which have maturities up to 10ten years.

Competition in Chile

Description of the Chilean Financial System. The Chilean financial services market consists of a variety of largely distinct sectors. The most significant sector, commercial banking, includes 2324 privately-owned banks and one state-owned bank, Banco del Estado de Chile (which operates within the same legal and regulatory framework as the private sector banks). The private sector banks include those that are Chilean-owned, i.e., controlled by a Chilean entity, as well as a number of foreign-owned banks which are operated in Chile but controlled by a foreign entity. In 2014, five2015, 5 private sector banks along with the state-owned bank together

accounted for 79.21%78.3% of all outstanding loans by Chilean financial institutions as of December 31, 2014:2015: Banco Santander-Chile (18.18%(18.9%), Banco de Chile (17.4%(18.3%), Banco de Crédito e Inversiones, or BCI (12.5%(12.9%), CorpBanca (11.3%(7.2%), Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, Chile (6.6%(6.7%) and Banco del Estado de Chile (13.2%(14.3%). All market share statistics in this paragraph are presented as reported to the SBIF calculated under local regulatory and accounting principles on a consolidatedan unconsolidated basis.

Financial System Evolution in Chile. The Chilean banking system has experienced a consolidation process in the past decades with mergers and acquisitions of banking entities in line with global trends. Currently, the largest Chilean bank in terms of loans outstanding is Banco Santander-Chile.

Following rapid consolidation among Chilean banks commencing in the late 1990s through today, the market has become characterized by fewer larger players. Our principal competitors in Chile are BCI, Banco de Chile and Banco Santander-Chile. As compared to other Chilean banks, we believe our position in the Chilean banking industry has enabled us to compete with international banks seeking to provide loans to companies operating in Chile, especially since we are able to offer alternative sources of financing. We also believe that the close relationships we have developed with our SME customers over the years provide us with a competitive advantage.

Commercial banks, such as us, face increasing competition from other financial intermediaries who can provide larger companies with access to the capital markets as an alternative to bank loans. The enactment of the Capital Markets Reform Bill (Reforma al Mercado de Capitales) in 2001 has made it more tax-advantageous and easier for companies to issue commercial paper in Chile, adding an additional financing alternative. To the extent permitted by the Chilean General Banking Law,Act, we seek to maintain a competitive position in this respect through the investment banking activities of our subsidiary CAF.

We face competition in our mortgage and consumer loans businesses from insurance companies, which have been permitted to grant mortgage loans. We believe that, in addition to the other banks that operate in Chile, our main competitors in the credit card business are department stores and other non-banking businesses involved in the issuance of private-label credit cards. We intend to remain competitive in the mortgage loan services and credit card markets through product innovation.

We also experience competition from banks that provide international private banking services such as JPMorgan Chase, Deutsche Bank and BNP Paribas, among others. We believe our main competitive advantage in our Private Banking segment has been our ability to provide our customers with tailored lending products and responses to their needs as soon as possible. Our lower income retail banking segment, Banco Condell, competes with consumer divisions of other banks such as Banefe, CrediChile, among others, as well as certain consumer credit providers, including department stores. We believe the main competitive advantage of our Banco Condell brand is our ability to provide responses as soon as possible, know our customers’ needs and provide a fair price structure.

Competition in Colombia

Description of the Colombian Financial System. In recent years, the Colombian banking system has been undergoing a period of consolidation given the series of mergers and acquisitions that have taken place within the sector, including the Banco SantanderCorpBanca Colombia Acquisition and the Helm Bank Acquisition. More specifically, severalSeveral mergers and acquisitions tookhave taken place insince 2008, includingincluding: (a) the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) purchaseacquisition of the Colombian arm of ABN Amro Bank and General Electric (GE) Money’sby the Royal Bank of Scotland; (b) the acquisition of a 49.7%majority stake in Colpatria. However, in MayBanco Colpatria by Scotiabank; (c) the acquisition of 2010, Group Colpatria repurchased this 49.7% stake and in October of 2011, Canadian Scotiabank purchased Colpatria’s 51% for US$1.0 billion. Also, in 2010, Banco de Bogotá acquired BAC-Credomatic, which has operations in several countries in Central America, for a reported purchase price of approximately US$184 million.

In 2013 several new players entered the Colombian financial system, including the start of operations of Ripley Compañíaby Banco de Financiamiento S.A. and Banco Santander de Negocios Colombia S.A.. Additionally, the year was marked by several mergers and acquisitions, including Scotiabank Colombia S.A.’s acquisition of Banco Colpatria Multibanca Colpatria S.A. and the conversion of Banco Cooperativo Coopcentral from an upper-rank cooperative organization to a commercial bank. The trend toward mergers and acquisitions continued throughout 2014 with two mergers occurring within the banking sector. First, in June 2014, we completedBogotá; (d) the merger of Helm Bank S.A. with and into Banco CorpBanca Colombia S.A.,; and in October(e) the merger of Banco GNB Colombia S.A. (previously known as Banco HSBC Colombia S.A.) merged with and into Banco GNB Sudameris S.A. During 2015 three new banks commenced operations in Colombia: Banco Mundo Mujer S.A. (previously operating as a microloan originator); Banco Multibank and Banco Compartir S.A., which converted its licenses from financing companies to banks.

In 2014 we completed our acquisition of 100% of the equity interest in Helm Bank and completed the merger of Helm Bank with and into CorpBanca Colombia.

Additionally, pursuant to the Transaction Agreement with Itaú Unibanco, we agreed that Itaú-CorpBanca will following the closing of the pending Itaú-CorpBanca Merger, acquire the operations of Itaú Unibanco in Colombia by acquiring the shares of Itaú Colombia at an aggregate price equivalent to their book value of approximately US$170 million.

100 million in a transaction expected to close by the end of 2016.

As of December 31, 2014,2015, and according to the Colombian Superintendency of Finance, the principal participants in the Colombian financial system were the Central Bank of Colombia, 2225 commercial banks (12(14 domestic private banks, 910 foreign banks, and one domestic state-owned bank), five finance corporations and 2116 financing companies (six(four leasing companies and 1512 traditional financing companies). In addition, trust companies, cooperatives, insurance companies, insurance brokerage firms, bonded warehouse, special state-owned institutions, pension and severance pay funds also participate in the Colombian financial system.

The Financial Reform Act of 2009 (Law 1328 passed July 15, 2009) also made important advances towards a multi-banking framework. This new legislation authorized banks to provide merger and acquisition loans and allowed them to conduct financial leasing operations. As a result, some competitors have absorbed their financial leasing subsidiaries into their banking franchises and some leasing companies are in the process of becoming banks.

Financial System Evolution in Colombia during 20132014 and 20142015.

Chilean Banking Regulation and SupervisionCHILEAN BANKING REGULATION AND SUPERVISION

General

In Chile, only banks may maintain checking accounts for their customers and accept time deposits. The principal authorities that regulate financial institutions regulators in Chile are the SBIF and the Central Bank of Chile. Chilean banks are primarily subject to the Chilean General Banking LawAct and secondarily, to the extent not inconsistent with such statute, the provisions of theLey 18.046 sobre Sociedades Anónimasor the Chilean Corporations LawAct governing public corporations, except for certain provisions which are expressly excluded.

The modern Chilean banking system dates from 1925 and has been characterized by periods of substantial regulation and state intervention, as well as periods of deregulation. The most recent period of deregulation commenced in 1975 and culminated in the adoption of a series of amendments to the Chilean General Banking Law. That law, when amendedAct. The Chilean General Banking Act sets forth the regulatory framework to which banks are subject outlining the activities that a bank may and may not carry out in 2001, granted additional powersChile and their attributions -in addition to banks,traditional banking activities- including general underwriting powers for new issuesissuances of certain debt and equity securities and the power to create subsidiaries to engage in activities related to banking, such as brokerage, investment advisory, mutual fund services, administration of investment funds, factoring, securitization products and financial leasing services.

Following the Chilean banking crisis of 1982 and 1983, the SBIF assumed control of 21 financial institutions representing approximately 51% of the total loans in the banking system. As part of the solution to this crisis, the Central Bank of Chile acquired from financial institutions a certain portion of their distressed loan portfolios, at the book value of such loan portfolios. Each institution then repurchased such loans at their economic value (which, in most cases, was much lower than the book value at which the Central Bank of Chile had acquired the loans) and the difference was to be repaid to the Central Bank of Chile out of future income. Pursuant to Law No. 18,818, which was passed in 1989, this difference was converted into a subordinated obligation with no fixed term, known asdeuda subordinada or subordinated debt, which in the event of liquidation of the institution, would be paid after the institution’s other debts had been paid in full.

Central Bank of Chile

The Central Bank of Chile is an autonomous legal entity created by the Chilean Constitution. It is subject to the Chilean Constitution and its ownley orgáorgánica constitucional, or Constitutional Law.Act. To the extent not inconsistent with the Chilean Constitution or the Central Bank of Chile’s Constitutional Law,Act, the Central Bank of Chile is also subject to private sector laws (but in no event is it subject to the laws applicable to the public sector). It is directed and administered by a council composed of five members designated by the President of Chile, subject to the approval of the Senate.

The legal purpose of the Central Bank of Chile is to maintain the stability of the Chilean peso and the orderly functioning of Chile’s internal and external payment system. The Central Bank of Chile’s powers include setting reserve requirements, regulating the amount of money and credit in circulation, establishing regulations and guidelines regarding finance companies, foreign exchange (including the Formal Exchange Market) and banks’ deposit-taking activities.

SBIF

Banks in Chile are supervised by the SBIF, an independent Chilean governmental agency. The main responsibilities of the SBIF authorizesare to authorize the creationincorporation of new banks and has broad powers to interpret and enforce, with broad powers, legal and regulatory requirements applicable to Chilean banks and other entities. Furthermore, in case of non-compliance with such legal and regulatory requirements, the SBIF may impose sanctions, including fines payable by the directors, managers and employees of a bank as well as the bank itself. In extreme cases it can appoint, by special resolution with the prior approval of the board of directors of the Central Bank of Chile, a provisional administrator to manage a bank. It must also approve any amendment to a bank’s by-laws or any increase in its capital.

The SBIF examines all banks from time to time, generally at least once a year. Banks are also required to submit monthly unaudited consolidated and unconsolidated financial statements to the SBIF and publish their quarterly and annual financial statements in a newspaper with countrywide coverage. In addition, banks are required to provide extensive information regarding their operations at various periodic intervals to the SBIF. Financial statements as of December 31 of any given year must be audited. A bank’s annual financial statements and the opinion of its independent auditors must also be submitted to the SBIF for review.

The SBIF must approve in advance any direct or indirect acquisition of more than 10% of the share capital of a bank. The absence of such approval will cause the acquiror to lose the voting rights of such shares. The SBIF may only refuse to grant its approval based on specific grounds set forth in the Chilean General Banking LawAct and its Regulations.regulations.

Limitations on Types of Activities

Chilean banks can only conduct those activities allowed by the Chilean General Banking Law:Act: making loans, accepting deposits, issuing bonds, engaging in certain international operations, performing specially entrusted activities (comisiones de confianza) and, subject to limitations, making investments and performing financial services related to banking. Investments are restricted to real estate and physical asset for the bank’s own use, gold, foreign exchange and debt securities. In addition, local banks are allowed to engage in certain derivatives such as options, swaps and forward contracts over certain underlying assets. Through subsidiaries, banks may also engage in other specific financial service activities such as securities brokerage services, mutual fund management, investment fund management, factoring, securitization, financial advisory and leasing activities. Subject to specific limitations and the prior approval of the SBIF and the Central Bank of Chile, Chilean banks may own majority or minority interests in foreign banks.

On March 2, 2002, the Central Bank of Chile authorized banks to pay interest on checking accounts. On March 20, 2002, the SBIF published guidelines establishing that beginning on June 1, 2002, banks could offer a new checking account product that pays interest. The SBIF also stated that these accounts may be subject to minimum balance limits and different interest rates depending on average balances held in the account. This product is not mandatory and banks are allowed to charge fees for the use of checking accounts. For banks with a solvency score of less than A, the Central Bank of Chile imposed additional caps on the interest rate that can be charged.

In June 2007, the Chilean government passed Law No. 20,190, which amended various aspects of Chile’s capital markets regulatory framework, such as the Chilean General Banking Law, Securities, Insurance, Venture Capital and Tax law. Law No. 20,190 is aimed at improving the access to financing for start-up companies and small businesses in order to strengthen confidence in the stock market and to stimulate the development of the financial market in general. The Chilean General Banking Law was amended to achieve these goals by, among other things, revising regulations concerning demand deposits, increasing certain credit limits, and redefining the calculations to determine the proper amount for a bank’s reserves. In addition, the Chilean General Banking Law was amended to allow local banks to engage in certain derivatives such as options, swaps and forward contracts over certain underlying assets, thereby eliminating prior existing legal impediments to those transactions.

Deposit Insurance

In Chile, the government guarantees up to 90% of the aggregate amount of certain time deposits held by individuals in the Chilean banking system. The government guarantee covers those obligations with a maximum value of UF120 per person (Ch$2.953.08 million or US$4,881.04,329.7 as of December 31, 2014)2015) in each calendar year.

Reserve Requirements

Deposits are subject to a reserve requirement of 9% for all demand deposits and obligations that are payable on demand, and 3.6% for time deposits and deposits in savings accounts in any currency of any term, judicially ordained deposits, and any other deposit (captación) for a term of up to one year. For purposes of calculating this reserve requirement, banks are authorized to make certain daily deductions from their liabilities in Chilean pesos, the most relevant of which include:

 

cash clearance account, which should be deducted from demand deposits for calculating reserve requirements;

 

certain payment orders issued by pension providers; and

the amount subject to “technical reserve” (as described below), which can be deducted from reserve requirements.

In the case of liabilities in foreign currency, banks are authorized to deduct for this purpose the amounts mentioned in the first and third bullet above, among others.above.

The Central Bank of Chile has statutory authority to require banks to maintain reserves of up to an average of 40% for demand deposits and up to 20% for time deposits (irrespective, in each case, of the currency in which they are denominated) to implement monetary policy. In addition, according to the Chilean General Banking LawAct and the regulations issued by the SBIF and the Central Bank of Chile, Chilean banks must maintain a technical reserve of 100% of all deposits and obligations a bank has acquired in its financial business that are payable on demand, except for obligations with other banks, whenever such deposits and obligations exceed 2.5 times their basic capital. This technical reserve must be calculated daily, and must be kept in deposits in the Central Bank of Chile or documents issued by the Central Bank of Chile or the Chilean Treasury with a maturity date of no more than 90 days.

Minimum Capital

Under the Chilean General Banking Law,Act, a bank must have a minimum paid-in capital and reserves of UF800,000 (Ch$19,701.720,503.2 million or US$32.528.9 million as of December 31, 2014)2015).

Capital Adequacy Requirements

The Chilean General Banking LawAct and the Regulations of the SBIF include a modified version of the capital adequacy guidelines issued by the Basel Committee. It provides thatAccording to such modified guidelines, the capital and reserves of a bank, or basic capital, cannot be less than 3% of total assets net of allowances, and its “effective net equity” cannot be less than 8% of its risk-weighted assets net of required loan loss allowances. For a discussion about our capital adequacy requirements imposed by the SBIF in connection with the Banco Santander Colombia Acquisition, see “Item 4—Information on the Company—A. History and Development of the Company—History.”

Basic capital is defined as a bank’s paid-in capital and reserves and is similar to Tier 1 capital except that it does not include 30% of net income for the period (considered as a deduction for minimum mandatory dividends).

Regulatory capital or “effective net equity” is defined as the aggregate of:

 

a bank’s paid-in capital and reserves;

 

its subordinated bonds, valued at their placement price (but decreasing by 20% for each year during the period commencing six years prior to maturity), for an amount up to 50% of its basic capital;

 

goodwill or premiums, paid balances and investments in companies that are not part of the consolidation, which shall be deducted;

 

its voluntary allowances for loan losses for an amount of up to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets; and

 

other adjustments as instructed by the SBIF.

In cases where a limit is required to be applied on an unconsolidated basis, capital attributable to subsidiaries and foreign branches shall be excluded.

The Chilean General Banking LawAct contains a five-category risk classification system to be applied to bank assets that is based on the Basel Committee recommendations.

In 2009, the SBIF postponed the application of the third pillar of Basel II in Chile, which includes the implementation of capital limits with market risk and operational risk-weighted assets. These changes must be approved by Congress as it involves a modification to the Chilean General Banking Law.

Within the scope of Basel IIIII in Chile, further changes in regulation may occur. See “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors— Risks relating to Chile and other countries in which we operate—Chile’s banking regulatory and capital markets environment is continually evolving and may change”.

Lending Limits

Under the Chilean General Banking Law,Act, Chilean banks are subject to certain lending limits, including the following:

 

a bank cannot extend to any entity or individual, (or any one group of related entities), directly or indirectly, unsecured credit in an amount that exceeds 10% of the bank’s effective net equity, or in an amount that exceeds 30% of its effective net equity if the excess over 10% is secured by certain assets with a value equal to or higher than such excess. In the case of foreign export trade financing, the ceiling for unsecured credits is also 10% and the ceiling for secured credits is also established at 30%. In the case of financing infrastructure projects built through the concession mechanism, the 10% ceiling for unsecured credits is 15% if secured by a pledge over the concession, or if granted by two or more banks or finance companies which have executed a credit agreement with the builder or holder of the concession, while the ceiling for secured credits remains at 30%;

 

a bank cannot extend loans to another financial institution subject to the Chilean General Banking LawAct in an aggregate amount exceeding 30% of its effective net equity;

 

a bank cannot directly or indirectly grant a loan whose purpose is to allow an individual or entity to acquire shares of the lender bank;

 

a bank cannot lend, directly or indirectly, to a director or any other person who has the power to act on behalf of such bank; and

 

a bank cannot grant loans to related parties (which relation can arise from management or for ownership reasons, including holders of more than 1% of its shares, except in the case of companies which are actively traded on the Santiago Stock Exchange, like CorpBanca, in which case the limit is 5%) on more favorable terms than those generally offered to non-related parties. Loans granted to related parties are subject to the limitations described in the first bullet point above. In addition, the aggregate amount of loans to a single group of related parties cannot exceed 5% of the bank’s effective net equity or 25% if the excess thereof is secured by certain assets with a value equal to or greater than such excess, or by certain other collateral specified in the Chilean General Banking Law.Act. The definitions of “related” and “group” for these purposes are determined by the SBIF. The aggregate amount of all credits granted to related parties of the bank cannot exceed its effective net equity.

To determine the lending limits with respect to a particular person, the obligations undertaken by partnerships in which the relevant person is an unlimited partner or by companies of any nature in which such person has more than 50% of their capital or receives more than 50% of their profits, will be accounted as obligations of such person. Likewise, if the participation of the relevant person in a company is higher than 2% but not higher than 50% of its capital or profits, then the obligations of such company will be accounted for as obligations of such person in proportion to its actual participation. Finally, when there is a plurality of debtors of the same obligation, then the obligation will be deemed joint and several with respect to each and all of the debtors, unless expressly undertaken in other terms.

Allowance for Loan Losses

Chilean banks are required to provide to the SBIF detailed information regarding their loan portfolio on a monthly basis. The SBIF examines and evaluates each financial institution’s credit management process, including its compliance with the loan classification guidelines. Banks are classified into four categories: 1, 2, 3must classify and 4. Each bank’s category depends onevaluate their credits portfolio pursuant to the models and methods used by the bank to classify its loan portfolio, as determinedrules issued by the SBIF. Category 1 banks are those banks whose methods and models are satisfactory toHowever, a bank may request the SBIF. Category 1 banks will be entitled to continue using the same methods and models they currently have in place. A bank classified as a category 2 bank will have to maintain the minimum levelsauthorization of reserves established by the SBIF while its Board of Directors will be made aware of the problems detected by the SBIF and required to take steps to correct them. Banks classified as categories 3 and 4 will have to maintain the minimum levels of reserves established by the SBIF until they are authorized by the SBIF to do otherwise. CorpBanca is categorized as a “Category 1” bank.use its own internal evaluation model for groups, to the extent they comply with certain requirements.

Classification of Banks and Loan Portfolios

Solvency and Management. Chilean banks are classified into categories I through V based upon their solvency and management ratings. ThisThe classification of each bank is confidential.

 

  Category I: This category is reserved for financial institutions that have been rated level A in terms of solvency and management.

  Category II: This category is reserved for financial institutions that have been rated (1) level A in terms of solvency and level B in terms of management, (2) level B in terms of solvency and level A in terms of management, or (3) level B in terms of solvency and level B in terms of management.

 

  Category III: This category is reserved for financial institutions that have been rated (1) level B in terms of solvency and level B in terms of management for two or more consecutive review periods, (2) level A in terms of solvency and level C in terms of management, or (3) level B in terms of solvency and level C in terms of management.

 

  Category IV: This category is reserved for financial institutions that are rated level A or B in terms of solvency and have been rated level C in terms of management for two or more consecutive review periods.

 

  Category V: This category is reserved for financial institutions that have been rated level C in terms of solvency, irrespective of their management rating level.

A bank’s solvency rating is determined by its regulatory capital (after deducting accumulated losses during the financial year) to risk-weighted assets ratio. This ratio is equal to or greater than 10% for level A banks, equal to or greater than 8% and less than 10% for level B banks and less than 8% for level C banks.

With respect to a bank’s management rating, level A banks are those that are not rated as level B or C. Level B banks display some weakness in internal controls, information systems, response to risk, private risk rating or ability to manage contingency scenarios.scenarios, which must be corrected within the period preceding the next evaluation, considering also the penalties imposed to the bank (except for those with a pending claim). Level C banks display significant deficiencies in internal controls, information systems, response to risk, private risk rating or ability to manage contingency scenarios.

Capital Markets

Under the Chilean General Banking Law,Act, banks in Chile may purchase, sell, place, underwrite and act as paying agents with respect to certain debt securities. Likewise, banks in Chile may place and underwrite certain equity securities. Bank subsidiaries may also engage in debt placement and dealing, equity issuance adviceadvisory services and securities brokerage, as well as in financial leasing, mutual fund and investment fund administration, investment advisory services and merger and acquisition services. These subsidiaries are regulated by the SBIF and, in some cases, by the SVS, the regulator of the Chilean securities market and of open-stock (public) corporations.

MK3, approved byIn August 2010, the Chilean Congress in June 2010,government passed Law No. 20,448, or MK3, which allowed non-Chilean banks with representative offices in Chile to promote their headquarter’sheadquarters’ credit products and credit services directly in Chile. Before this reform, representative offices of non-Chilean Banksbanks were only able to act as intermediaries between their parent companies and local companies.

Subsidiaries and Affiliated Companies

Chilean banks are authorized to create subsidiaries to engage in (1) brokerage of securities, (2) management of mutual funds, investment funds, offshore funds, housing funds or all the foregoing, (3) insurance brokerage, (4) leasing operations, (5) factoring operations, (6) securitization, (7) financial advisory, (8) custody and transportation of funds, (9) provision of other financial services as authorized by the SBIF, (10) real estate leasing, and (11) social security advice.

Currently, banks are not authorized to create or engage in the business of insurance companies (other than as insurance brokers) and pension funds or health insurance administrators.

Banks may also, with the prior authorization of the SBIF, create and participate in companies exclusively destined to the carrying out of activities in support of the main banking operations, such as credit card or debit card operators.

Legal Provisions Regarding Banking Institutions with Economic Difficulties

Liquidation of Chilean banks may not be ordered in bankruptcy procedures, except when undergoing voluntary liquidation. The Chilean General Banking Law providesAct sets forth that if specifieda bank is under certain specific adverse circumstances, exist at any bank, its board of directors must correct the situation within 30 days from the date of receipt ofin which the relevant financial statements.statements are presented to the board. If the board of directors is unable to do so, it must callsummon a special shareholders’ meeting to increase the capital of the bank by the amount necessary to return the bank to

financial stability. If the shareholders reject the capital increase, or if it is not effected and paid within the term and in the manner agreed to at the meeting, or if the SBIF does not approve the board of directors proposal, the bank

will be barred from increasing its loan portfolio beyond that stated in the financial statements presented to the board of directors and from making any further investments in any instrument other than in instruments issued by the Central Bank of Chile. In such a case, or in the event that a bank is unable to make timely payment of its obligations or if a bank is under provisional administration ofby the SBIF, the Chilean General Banking LawAct provides that the bank may receive a two-year term loan from another bank which will be subordinated to other liabilities of the bank. The terms and conditions of such a loan must be approved by the directors of both banks, as well as by the SBIF, but need not be submitted to the borrowing bank’s shareholders for their approval. In any event, a creditor bank cannot grant interbank loans to an insolvent bank in an amount exceeding 25% of the creditor bank’s effective net equity. The board of directors of a bank that is unable to make timely payment of its obligations must present a reorganization plan to its creditors in order to capitalize theits credits, extend their respective terms, forgiveagree on extensions, obtain forgiveness of debts or takeadopt any other valid measures for the payment of the debts. The terms of thea reorganization plan must be the same for all the proposing bankbank’s creditors to whom such plan is applicable. From the date of submission of the reorganization plan until there is a decision from the creditors regarding such plan, the bank will only be required to pay demand deposits and liabilities. If the board of directors of a bank submits a reorganization plan to its creditors and such arrangement is approved, all subordinated debt issued by the bank, whether or not matured, will be converted by operation of law into common shares in the amount required for the ratio of effective net equity to risk-weighted assets not to be lower than 12%. If the reorganization plan is rejected by the creditors, the bank must submit a new proposal which must include the capitalization in an amount required so that the ratio of effective net equity to risk-weighted assets not to be lower than 12%. If this second proposal is rejected, the SBIF will declare the bank into mandatory liquidation.liquidation, which process is regulated by the Banking Law and not by the general bankruptcy rules. If a bank fails to pay an obligation, it must notify the SBIF, which shall determine if the bank is solvent. Banks can be subject to a provisional administrator if there are reasons that affect its financial stability.

Dissolution and Liquidation of Banks

The SBIF may establish that a bank must be liquidated forif the benefitsafety of its depositors or other creditors so demands it, or when such bank does not have the necessary solvency to continue its operations. In such case, the SBIF must revoke asuch bank’s authorization to existbanking license and ordermandate its mandatory liquidation, subject to agreementapproval by the Central Bank of Chile. The SBIF must also revoke a bank’s authorization if thelicense when that bank’s reorganization plan of such bank has been rejected twice. The SBIF’s resolution by the SBIF must state the reason for ordering the liquidation and must nameappoint a liquidator, unless the Superintendent of Banks assumes this responsibility. WhenUpon a liquidation is declared,order, all checking accounts otherdeposits and obligations payable on demand deposits received infrom the ordinary course of business, other deposits unconditionally payable immediately are required to be paid by using the bank’s existing funds, of the bank, its deposits with the Central Bank of Chile or its investments in instruments that represent its reserves.

If these funds are insufficient to pay these obligations, the liquidator may seize the rest of the bank’s assets, as needed. If necessary and in specified circumstances, the Central Bank of Chile will lend the bank the funds necessary to pay these obligations. Any such loanson demand obligations are preferential to any claims of other creditors of the liquidated bank.

Investments in Foreign Securities

Under current Chilean banking regulations, banks in Chile may grant loans to foreign individuals and entities and invest in certain foreign currency securities. Chilean banks may only invest in equity securities of foreign banks and certain other foreign companies which may be affiliates of the bank or which would support the bank’s business if such companies were incorporated in Chile. Banks in Chile may also invest in debt securities traded in formal secondary markets. Within certain limits, banks in Chile may invest in such debt securities, in the event such debt securities qualify as securities issued or guaranteed by (1) foreign sovereign states or their central banks or (2) other foreign or international financial institutions of which Chile is a member or bonds issued by foreign corporations. Such foreign currency securities must have a minimum rating as follows:

A bank may also grant loans in dollars to finance exports to or from Chile.

In the event that the sum of the investments of a bank in foreign currency and of the commercial and foreign trade loans granted to foreign individuals and entities exceeds 70% of the effective net equity of such bank, the excess is subject to a mandatory reserve of 100%.

Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorist Financing and Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Regulations

United States

We, as a foreign private issuer whose securities are registered under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, are subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, or the FCPA. The FCPA generally prohibits issuers and their directors, officers, employees and agents from using any means or instrumentality of U.S. interstate commerce in furtherance of any offer or payment of money to any foreign official or political party for the purpose of influencing a decision of such person in order to obtain or retain business. The accounting provisions of the FCPA require an issuer to maintain books and records and have a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to, among other things, provide reasonable assurances that transactions are executed and assets are accessed and accounted for in accordance with management’s authorization. Significant penalties and fines may be imposed against us, and/or our officers, directors, employees, and agents, for violations of the FCPA. Furthermore, we may be subject to a

variety of U.S. anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing laws and regulations, such as including, but not limited to, the Bank Secrecy Act of 1970, as amended, and the USA PATRIOT ACTAct of 2001, as amended. A violation of such laws and regulations may result in substantial penalties, fines and imprisonment of our officers and/or directors.

Chile

The Anti-Money Laundering Act, or the AML Act requires banks, among others, to report any “suspicious transactions or activities” that they may become aware of in the ordinary course of their businessesbusiness to the Chilean Financial Analysis Unit (Unidad de Análisis Financiero), or FAU. “Suspicious activities or transactions” are defined by the AML Act as any act, operation or transaction that, in accordance with the uses and customs of the relevant activity, is considered unusual or devoid of apparent economic or legal justification or that may constitute any of the actions described in article 8 of Law No, 18,314 (terrorist actions), or entered into by an individual or a legal entity included in any resolution issued by the United Nations Security Council, whether carried out in an isolated or recurrent basis.

In accordance with the AML Act, banks must keep special records for any transaction in cash for amounts exceeding US$10,000, and report them to the FAU if so required by the latter authority.

In addition, the entities subject to the AML Act are also subject to Circular No. 49 and other regulations issued by the FAU, which provides additional guidelines for the prevention of money laundering.

With regard to Chilean banks the SBIF has also provided rules and guidelines for banks to set up an AML and Combating Financing of Terrorism, or CFT, prevention system applicable in their ordinary course of business, which must take into consideration the volume and complexity of their transactions, including their affiliates and supporting entities, and their international presence. In case of non-compliance of these rules and guidelines, the SBIF may impose administrative sanctions upon the infringing bank such as fines and warnings. Among other requirements, such system shall include at least (1) “know your customer” policies, (2) a manual of policies and procedures, (3) the appointment of a compliance officer, and (4) all necessary technological tools to develop red-flag systems to identify and detect unusual operations. For more information on our Anti-Money Laundering Committee, see “Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees—C. Board Practices—Other Committees—Anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism finance prevention committee”.

Colombia

The regulatory framework to prevent and control money laundering is contained in, among others, Decree 663 of 1993 and External Circular No. 029 of 2014 (Basic Legal Circular), Title IV, Chapter XI, “Instructions Related to Risk Management of Laundering and Terrorist Financing”, issued by the Colombian Superintendency of Finance, as well as Law 599 of 2000 (Colombian Criminal Code, as amended).

Colombian laws adopt the latest guidelines related to anti-money laundering and other terrorist activities established by the Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering, or FATF. Colombia, as a member of the GAFI-SUD (Grupo de Acción Financiera de Sudamérica) (a FATF style regional body), follows all of FATF’s 40 recommendations. Finally, the Colombian criminal code introduced criminal rules and regulations to prevent, control, detect, eliminate and adjudicate all matters related to financing terrorism and money laundering. The criminal rules and regulations cover the omission of reports on cash transactions, mobilization or storage of cash, and the lack of controls.

Anti-money laundering provisions have been complemented with provisions aimed at deterring terrorism financing. For that purpose, by means of External Circular 26 of 2008, the Colombian Superintendency of Finance has issued regulations requiring the implementation by financial institutions of a risk management system for money laundering and terrorism financing. These regulations emphasize “know your customer” policies and knowledge of customers and markets. They also establish processes and parameters to identify and monitor a financial institution’s customers. According to these regulations, financial institutions must cooperate with the appropriate authorities to prevent and control money laundering and terrorism.

Finally, the Colombian Criminal Code includes rules and regulations to prevent, control, detect, eliminate and adjudicate all matters related to financing terrorism and money laundering. The criminal rules and regulations cover the omission of reports on cash transactions, and the lack of controls.

Recent Regulatory Developments in Chile

Capital Adequacy Requirements

In line withThe SBIF and the futuregovernment have announced their intention of sending a bill of law to amend the General Banking Act in three aspects: (i) adoption of Basel II regulations in Chile, in 2010III, although with adjustments to local reality, (ii) strengthen the governance of the SBIF, disclosed a proposaland (iii) perfection of banking resolution mechanisms. The bill of law is announced to increasebe submitted to Congress during 2016, but we currently ignore how the minimum regulatorynew capital ratio from the current 8% to 10%. This change requires an amendmentadequacy requirements will be proposed to the Chilean General Banking Law by Congress. AlthoughCongress, as of December 31, 2014,the Regulator has only given non-binding information to the market. Nevertheless, we had a regulatory capital ratio of 12.39% measured as Effective Equity / Credit Risk weighted average assets, this change, if adopted, could require us to inject additional capital in our business inanticipate that the future.

Ley DICOM

In February 2012,Ley DICOM was enacted in order to restrict the use of private and personal economic, financial, banking and commercial information of customers set forth in Law No. 19,628 on Protection of Privacy, which is supplemented by Ley DICOM. This new law (i) provides that this data can only be shared with established businesses and companies that engage in risk assessment in order to assess business risk and credit process review; (ii) prohibits the request of this data in connection with recruitment for employment, admission to preschool, school or higher education, medical attention or nomination for a public position; (iii) allows the ownersimpact of the data to request distributors of personal information certifications for purposes other than credit process review, in which case the distributor must issue a certificate containing the overdue obligations of the applicant; (iv) prohibits the sharing or reporting of information related to obligations renegotiated, novated or pending in certain forms as well as debts incurred by users of the toll road concessions; (v) requires the distributors of economic, financial, banking and business information to have a system that records the access and delivery of background information contained in them, identifies the name of the person who has requested such information and the reason, date and time of the request; (vi) allows the owners of the information contained in such record to access the registry, free of charge, every four months, to check the information for the last 12 months; (vii) introduces mechanisms to facilitate the exercise of the rights of the holders of the information by imposing on the distributor or responsible party of the data bank the obligation to evidence compliance withLey DICOM and (viii) obligates the deletion of unpaid obligations reported through December 31, 2011, provided that the total debts registered by such debtor are for an amount less than Ch$2,500,000, for capital, excluding interest, adjustments or any other item. We do not expectLey DICOM to have a significant impact on our business or our commercial practices because we have anticipated the changes it introduced, to a large extent, by adjusting the information base and the relevant parameters used in our credit risk-assessment models for granting loans.new rules would be material.

Financial National Consumer Service (Sernac Financiero)

In July 2012 the government enacted the regulations that implement Law No. 20,555, which address mortgage loans, consumer loans, credit cards, the “Sernac Seal” (Sello Sernac), and other financial products and services. The new regulations govern, among other matters, the form and content of communications that financial institutions must periodically provide to their customers. Likewise, the new regulations implement the so-called “Summary Sheet” (Hoja Resumen), which must precede the contracts that consumers enter into with financial institutions. The Summary Sheet is intended to provide a clear and understandable summary of the terms and conditions that govern financial products and services.

The Sernac Seal is a new concept introduced by Law No. 20,555 and consists of a non-mandatory certification granted by the Chilean government agency in charge of consumer protection (Servicio Nacional del Consumidor, or SERNAC), by which that agency confirms that the contracts used by a financial institution when providing products and services comply with the Consumer Protection Act. In this regard, the new regulation establishes the specific requirements for financial institutions to obtain such certification as well as the events that may lead to its termination. Among the requirements to obtain the certification, financial institutions must provide a consumer service and adopt a dispute resolution procedure as defined by Law 20,555 and its regulation.

New Insurance Brokerage Regulation

On December 1, 2013, a new regulation affecting all insurance brokerage businesses in Chile became effective. This regulation is a result of Law No. 20,667 that was enacted on May 9, 2013 and Circular No. 2,114 issued by the SVS on July 26, 2013. The new regulation establishes that, in the case of early termination of an insurance policy paid for in advance (for example, because of the early repayment of the related loan), all unearned premiums must be refunded to the customer by the company that issued the policy. This refund obligation includes both the unearned premiums and commissions relating to the remaining policy period, such as brokerage fees and any other commissions. We do not expect these new refund obligations to have a material effect on the results of our operations. The premiums and commissions subject to refund will be calculated in proportion to the unelapsed period. This refund obligation applies with respect to insurance policies issued after this new regulation became effective. Prior to this new regulation, unearned premiums were refunded only if the early termination took place within the later of forty-five days after the issuance of the insurance policy, or one-tenth of the total term of the insurance policy (from the date of issuance).

In addition, Circular No. 2,131 issued by the SVS on November 28, 2013, added additional requirements regarding customer service for insurance customers. We do not expect these new regulations to have a material effect on our results of operations.

Finally, Circular No. 2,137, issued by the SVS on January 13, 2014, requiresrequired the adoption of IFRS by insurance brokerage companies beginning in 2015. We expect this requirement to initially affect the revenues of our subsidiary CorpBanca Corredora de Seguros, in its capacity as an insurance broker.

Modification to the AML Act

On January 9, 2015 Law N° 20.81820,818 was enacted, in order to modifyamending certain partsprovisions of the AML Act by, among other things:by: (i) increasing the authority of the FAU; (ii) increasing the scope of entities that are subject to the AML Act; (iii) amending the definition of “suspicious activities or transactions”; (iv) reducing the minimum amounts of the cash transactions to be registered and potentially reported to the FAU; (v) amending the sanctions applicable to any breach to the AML Act; (vi) adding new base crimes for the crime of money laundering; (vii) requiring entities subject to the AML Act to report to the FAU any transaction entered into by any individual or entity contained in any resolution issued by the United Nations Security Council; and (viii) establishing the obligation of the entities subject the AML Act to register with the FAU.FAU, among other things.

Funds Law(Ley (Ley Única de FondosFondos))

Law No. 20,712 on funds was published in the Chilean Official Gazette on January 7, 2014, or the Funds Law. The Funds Law is a single legal set of regulations enacted to provide for general and special regimes applicable to all Chilean funds, setting basic provisions governing their structure, management, dividend distribution, redemption of quotas and taxation, among other things. This law is expected to have a positive effect on the operations of our subsidiary CorpBanca Administradora General de Fondos S.A., in its capacity as fund manager.

Maximum Interest Rate

A new Chilean law regarding maximum interest rates was enacted on December 13, 2013 upon publication of Law 20,715 in the Chilean Official Gazette. This legislation affects all Chilean businesses that charge interest (including all banks) on loans up to UF 200 (approximately U.S.$8,400)U.S$7,216), including installment loans, credit cards, credit line loans and overdue loans. This regulation requires, among other things, a new method for calculating the maximum legal interest rate for loans not indexed to inflation with

terms longer than 90 days, which results in a reduction of the maximum legal interest rate applicable to such debtors. We do not expect the enactment of this law to have a material effect on our results of operations.

Insolvency Law

Chilean banks are subject to special insolvency proceedings. Nevertheless, a bank can be subject to the general insolvency law in case it becomes insolvent during a voluntary liquidation of its assets. In that regard, the Chilean Congress approved a new Insolvency Act on October 29, 2013, which was published in the Official Gazette on January 9, 2014 and came into effect on October 9, 2014. The new Insolvency Act eliminates the distinction between merchants and other debtors, eliminates the classification of bankruptcies as negligent or fraudulent and modifies the Chilean Criminal Code in order to recognize certain criminal offences related to the conduct of the business of the debtor prior to the declaration of its bankruptcy, and set forth different rules for the insolvency of an enterprise (empresa) and of a non-enterprise person (persona deudora) among other changes.

Under the new Insolvency Act, there are two types of proceedings for an enterprise : (i) liquidation proceedings which are very similar to existing bankruptcy proceedings, although they will be headed by a liquidator rather than a trustee (síndico) and (ii) reorganization proceedings. Under the new Insolvency Act, uponUpon completion of a liquidation procedure, the debtor recovers the free administration and disposition of its assets and any outstanding debts against the debtor incurred prior to the commencement of the liquidation procedure will be deemed discharged as a matter of law. As a result, a creditor who fails to participate during the liquidation process will forfeit its past claims against the debtor. The reorganization proceedings, are more oriented to the continuation of the debtor’s business and, therefore, allow the debtor to seek protection from the courts, or Insolvency“Insolvency Protection” (protección financiera concursal), for a term of 30 days, as from the date the reorganization proceeding is declared commenced by the competent court during which, among other effects, it cannot be put into liquidation, its assets cannot be foreclosed, the agreements entered into by it cannot be unilaterally terminated by the other party, the maturity of the indebtedness of the debtor cannot be accelerated or the securities granted by the debtor cannot be enforced by the creditor based on the commencement of the reorganization proceeding of the debtor’s insolvency. In the event that a creditor breaches this provision, its credit shall rank junior after all the other debts of the debtor. This 30-day term could be extended for 30 or 60 days if supported by creditors representing 30% or 50% of the debtors’ unrelated liabilities, respectively.

Pursuant to the provisions of the new Insolvency Act, it is possible for a debtor to commence a reorganization procedure not only through a court process, but also as an out-of-court agreement with its creditors, which shall then be approved by the court through a simple process. It is also now possible for the debtor and its creditors to agree in reorganization proposal including different conditions for different categories of creditors (e.g., secured and unsecured), which must be expressly approved by the remaining creditors.

The new Insolvency Act also allows thea debtor under Insolvency Protection to contractacquire debt to finance its operations (up to 20% of the debt it had at the commencement of the procedure), which shall rank senior with respect to the existing creditors (except for a few statutory preferences which shall remain in force) in case the reorganization agreement is not approved and the judge orders the liquidation of the company.

The new Insolvency Act amends claw-back period rules such that as a general rule any transfer, encumbrance or other transaction executed or granted by the debtor during the term of two years prior to the commencement of the reorganization or liquidation proceedings may be rendered ineffective if its proved before the court that such transfer, encumbrance or transaction: (i) was entered with the counterparty’s knowledge of the debtor’s bad business condition; and (ii) caused damages to the bankruptcy estate or has affected the parity that shall exist among creditors (e.g. that the transaction has not been entered into terms and conditions similar to those usually prevailing in the market at the time of its execution).

Notwithstanding the above, the new Insolvency Act maintains certain specific cases of ineffectiveness of any transfer, encumbrance or other transaction executed or granted during the term of one year prior to the commencement of the insolvency proceedings (which may be extended to two years in certain events), based on objective grounds, such as pre-payments, payments in terms different as originally agreed by the parties and the creation of security interests to guarantee pre-existing obligations. Also, agreements and changes to bylaws which decrease the capital of the debtor could be deemed ineffective if made during the six months prior to the commencement of the insolvency proceeding.

Finally, the new Insolvency Act regulates for the first time cross-border insolvency issues, allowing the recognition in Chile of foreign bankruptcy/liquidation proceedings. We do not expect the enactment of this law to have a material effect on our results of operations.

Tax Reform

On September 29, 2014, the Tax Reform was published in the Chilean Official Gazette, introducing the most significant amendments to the Chilean tax system over the last 30 years and strengthening the powers of theServicio de Impuestos Internos, or the Chilean IRS to control and prevent tax avoidance. One of the main purposes of this reform was to finance major educational reforms under discussion in the Chilean Congress. Thereafter the Tax Reform was modified by Law No. 20,899, published on February 8, 2016.

The Tax Reform currently contemplates, among other matters, changes to the corporate tax regime by allowing coexistence of two alternative tax regimes available to Chilean companies. Starting oncompanies from January 1, 2017 Chilean companies, including us, will be required to opt between two tax systems:onwards: (i) an attributed income system or (ii) a partially integrated system.

 

Attributed income system: Under this system, companies will be subject to a corporate tax that would gradually increase to 25% over the course of the subsequent four years, commencing in 2014 (increasing each year to 21%, 22.5%, 24% and 25%, respectively). At the shareholder level, a 35% withholding tax would apply on an “attributed basis” from year 2017. As a result, any non-Chilean resident shareholder would be required to pay a 35% withholding tax while Chilean resident shareholders would be required to pay the progressive ImpuestoComplementary Global Complementario (Complementary Global Tax),Tax, with rates ranging between 0% and 35%, regardless of whether the Chilean company makes a profit distribution or dividend payment. Shareholders would be able to credit the corporate tax already paid by the company against the withholding tax or the progressive complementary income tax. The actual income distribution to the shareholders would not be taxable. This system will be exclusive for companies whose shareholders or owners are individuals domiciled or residing in Chile, or entities not domiciled or resident in Chile.

 

Partially integrated system: Under this system, companies would be subject to a corporate tax of 25.5% on 2017 and 27% from 2018 onwards (which would be also gradually increased). Then, when the income is actually withdrawn from a company, non-Chilean resident shareholders would be subject to a 35% withholding tax, while Chilean resident shareholders would be required to pay the progressive Complementary Global Tax, with rates ranging between 0% and 35%, against which only a 65% of the corporate tax will be allowed to be used as a credit against the withholding tax or the Complementary Global Tax; provided that,Tax. Nevertheless, the deduction available to shareholdersforeign holder shall be entitled full corporate tax credit, if such holder is established on, domiciled in or resident inof a country with which Chile has a double taxation treaty in force or, until December 31, 2019, Chile has signed a double taxation treaty with such country, although not in force.

Law No. 20,899 introduced changes to both systems in order to simplify them. Other amendments included in this Law are related to the accuracy of the general anti-avoidance rules and the implementation of Value Added Tax (VAT) for certain operations, mainly to the sale of real estate and leases with purchase option.

Law No. 20,798

On September 16th, 2015 the Consumer Protection Act and the Pledge Whithout Conveyace Act were amended in order to include several provisions regarding the release and cancellation of mortgages and certain pledges. According to this law, once an agreed tax treaty would be 100%.obligation secured with any of the said security interests has been extinguished, the relevant creditorex officio shall grant and afford the corresponding release and cancellation public deed, and its record cancellation. Furthermore, the relevant creditor shall inform such proceedings to the debtor within the term established by law.

Colombian Banking Regulation and Supervision

Colombian Banking Regulators

Pursuant to Colombia’sthe Colombian Constitution, the Colombian Congress has the power to prescribe the general legal framework within which the government may regulate the financial system. The agencies vested with the authority to regulate the financial system are the board of directors of the Central Bank of Colombia, the Colombian Ministry of Finance, the Colombian Superintendency of Finance, the Superintendency of Industry and Commerce, or SIC, and the Self-Regulatory Organization (Autorregulador del Mercado de Valores-AMV), or the SRO.

Capital Adequacy Requirements

Capital adequacy requirements for Colombian financial institutions (as set forth in Decree 25552,555 of 2010, as amended)amended, or Decree 2,555) are based on applicable Basel Committee standards. Decree 2555 of 2010,2,555 establishes four categories of assets, which are each assigned different risk weights, and require that a credit institution’s Technical Capital (as defined below) be at least 9% of that institution’s total risk-weighted assets.

On August 23, 2012, the Ministry of Finance issued Decree 1,771 amending the capital adequacy requirements set forth inCurrently, Decree 2,555 and on September 2, 2014, the Ministry of Finance issued Decree 1,648, which amended, complemented and added provisos to the requirements established in Decree 1,771. The principal changes contained in Decree 1,771 and Decree 1,648 are:sets forth, among other things:

 

  technical capital will bethat Technical Capital is the sum of ordinary primary capital (patrimonio básico ordinarioor Common Equity Tier One), additional primary capital (patrimonio básico adicionalor Additional Tier One), and secondary capital (patrimonio adicionalor tier two capital) as opposed to the calculation noted above;;

 

establishes newthe criteria for debt and equity instruments to be considered ordinary primary capital, additional primary capital and secondary capital is established. Additionally, thecapital. The Colombian Superintendency of Finance will review whether a given instrument adequately complies with these criteria in order for an instrument to be considered tier one, additional tier one or tier two capital, upon request of the issuer. Debt and equity instruments that have not been classified by the SFC as ordinary primary capital or secondary capital, will not be considered tier one, additional tier one or tier two capital for purposes of capital adequacy requirements;

 

the minimum total solvency ratio remains at a minimum of 9% of the financial institution’s technical capital divided by total risk-weighted assets; however, each entity must also comply with a minimum basic solvency ratio of 4.5%, which is defined as the ordinary primary capital after deductions divided by the financial institution’s total risk-weighted assets. In addition, pursuant to Decree 1,771, solvency ratios must be met individually, by each credit institution, and must be met and monitored on a consolidated basis;

ordinary primary capital after deductions divided by the financial institution’s total risk-weighted assets. In addition, solvency ratios must be met individually, by each credit institution, and must be met and monitored on a consolidated basis;

 

that the calculation of the total solvency ratio will take into account operational risk; however the Colombian Superintendency of Finance has not yet defined the methodology to be used to estimate such effect; and

 

that credit institutions will beare able to include hybrids instruments designed to have characteristics of a fixed income and characteristics of equity market security, as part of its basic additional capital.

In addition to these regulatory minimum basic solvency requirements, CorpBanca Colombia has committed to maintain a solvency ratio of 11.8% for a period of time following the CorpBanca Colombia and Helm Bank merger. Notwithstanding these minimums, whenWhen the solvency ratio of a financial institution is below 10%, the Colombian Superintendency of Finance implements a closer supervision on banking activities of the entity based on the supervision policy implemented by the Colombian Superintendency of Finance.

Minimum Capital Requirements

The minimum capital requirement for banks on an unconsolidated basis is establishedset forth in Article 80 of the Financial System Organic Statute. The minimum capital requirement for 2013Act was COP$75,550COP77,016 million for 2014, is COP$77,016COP79,835 million and such minimum capital requirement for 2015 is COP$79,835and shall be COP85,240 million (for Banking Institutions).for 2016. Failure to meet such requirement can result in the taking of possessionrelevant financial institution take over (toma de posesión) of any financial institution, including CorpBanca Colombia, by the Colombian Superintendency of Finance. Minimum capital requirements are updated annuallyadjusted in January by the same percentage aseach year based on the inflation percentage for the priorprecedent year. The levels of minimum capital requirements for each type of financial institution (financial corporations, financing companies, trust companies, etc) are different, with banks having the highest minimum amount. Additionally, there are capital requirements above this minimum for the purposes of credit exposure and derivatives transactions.

Capital Investment Limit

All investments in subsidiaries and other authorized capital investments, other than those made in order to abide by legal requirements, may not exceed 100% of the total aggregate of capital, equity reserves and the equity re-adjustment account of the respective bank, financial corporation or commercial finance company, excluding unadjusted fixed assets and including deductions for accumulated losses.

Mandatory Investments

The Central Bank of ColombiaColombia’s regulations require financial institutions, including CorpBanca Colombia, to make mandatory investments in securities issued by Finagro, a Colombian public financial institution that finances production and rural activities, to support the agricultural sector. The amount of these mandatory investments is calculated based on the current Colombian peso-denominated obligations of the relevant financial institution.

Foreign Currency Position Requirements

According to External Resolutions 4, of 2007 issued on May 6 (Resolution 4), 2007or Resolution 4, and 9, of 2013or Resolution 9, issued on December 20, 2013 (Resolution 9) by the board of directors of the Central Bank of Colombia issued in 2007 and 2013 respectively, as amended, by External Resolution 16 of 2014 applicable as of January 1, 2015, a financial institution’s foreign currency position (posición propia en moneda extranjera) is the difference between such institution’s foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities (including any off-balance sheet items), made or contingent, including those that may be sold in Colombian legal currency.

Resolution 9 provides that the average of a bank’s foreign currency position for three business days cannot exceed the equivalent in Colombian pesos of 20% of the bank’s Technical Capital. Currency exchange intermediaries such as CorpBanca Colombia are permitted to hold a three business days’ average negative foreign currency position not exceeding the equivalent in foreign currency of 5% of its Technical Capital (with penalties being payable after the first business day).

Resolution 9 also defines foreign currency position in cash (posición propia de contado en moneda extranjera) as the difference between all foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities. A bank’s three business days average foreign currency position in cash cannot exceed 50% of the bank’s Technical Capital. In accordance with Resolution 9, the three day average must be calculated on a daily basis and the foreign currency position in cash cannotcan be negative.negative but must no exceed 20% of its Technical Capital. (Resolution 9 was amended on September 25th 2015).

Finally, Resolution 9 requires banks to comply with a gross position of leverage (posición bruta de apalancamiento). Gross position of leverage is defined as the sum of (i) the rights and obligations of term and future contracts denominated in foreign

currency, plus (ii) foreign currency cash operations with settlement higher or equal to one banking day, plus (iii) the exchange rate risk exposure associated with debtor and creditor contingencies acquired in the trading of exchange rate options and derivatives.

Resolution 9 sets a limit on the gross position of leverage, which cannot exceed 550% of the Technical Capital.

Deposit Insurance

In Colombia, the deposit insurance fund, FOGAFIN (Fondo de Garantías de Instituciones Financieras), guarantees up to COP$20COP20 million (US$8,363.46,380 as of December 31, 2014)2015) per person, for each institution calculated as the aggregate amount of time, savings and demand deposits held by individuals in a Colombian financial institution. Payment will be made in case of an administrative compulsory liquidation of the financial institution.

Reserve Requirements

Commercial banks are required by the board of directors of the Central Bank of Colombia to satisfy reserve requirements with respect to deposits and other cash demands. Such reserves are held by the Central Bank of Colombia in the form of cash deposits. According to Resolutions 5 and 11 of 2008 issued by the board of directors of the Central Bank of Colombia, as amended, the reserve requirements for Colombian banks are measured bi-weekly and the amounts depend on the class of deposits.

Credit institutions must maintain reserves of 11% over the following deposits, cash demands and other passive obligations:

 

Private demand deposits;

 

Government demand deposits;

 

Other deposits and liabilities; and

 

Savings deposits.

In addition, credit institutions must maintain reserves of 4.5% for term deposits with maturities fewer than 18 months and 0% for term deposits with maturities of more than 18 months.

Credit institutions may maintain these reserves in their accounts at the Central Bank of Colombia, or cash.

Marginal reserve requirements were eliminated by the Central Bank of Colombia in 2008. Since 2009, the reserve requirements have no remuneration.

Foreign Currency Loans

Residents of Colombia may obtain foreign currency loans from foreign residents and from Colombian currency exchange intermediaries or by placing debt securities abroad. Foreign currency loans must be either disbursed through a foreign exchange intermediary or deposited in offshore compensation accounts.

According to regulations issued by the Central Bank of Colombia, every Colombian resident and institution borrowing funds in foreign currency is generally required to post with the Central Bank of Colombia non-interest bearing deposits for a specified term, although the size of the required deposit is currently zero.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, such deposits would not be required in certain cases establishedset forth in Article 26 ofthe External Resolution 8 of 2000 issued by the Central Bank of Colombia, or Resolution 8, including in the case of foreign currency loans aimed at financing Colombian investments abroad or for short-term exportation loans, provided that such loan is disbursed against the funds ofBanco de Comercio Exterior—Bancoldex. Moreover, Article 59-1(c) of External Resolution 8 of 2000 sets forth a number of restrictions and limitations as to the use of proceeds in the case of foreign currency loans obtained by Colombian currency exchange intermediaries (including CorpBanca Colombia) and also provides that deposits would not be required in the event such restrictions and limitations are observed. Such foreign currency loans may be used, among others, for lending activities in a foreign currency with a tenor equal to, or shorter than, the tenor of the foreign financing.

Interest payments to foreign currency loans granted by foreign banks to Colombian residents are currently subject to a 33% withholding tax for loans with less than a year tenor or 14% withholding tax for loans with more than a year tenor, as a general rule.

Finally, pursuant to Law 9 of 1991, the board of directors of the Central Bank of Colombia is entitled to impose conditions and limitations on the incurrence of foreign currency indebtedness, as an exchange control policy, in order to avoid pressure in the currency exchange market.

Non-Performing Loan Allowance

The Colombian Superintendency of Finance maintains guidelines on non-performing loan allowances for financial institutions. This information has been provided in order to provide the reader with a more in-depth analysis. Notwithstanding, our allowance and provision for loan losses as recorded in our financial statements included herein have been determined in accordance with IFRS.

Lending Activities

Decree 2555 of 2010, as amended, sets forth the maximum amounts that a financial institution may lend to a single borrower (including for this purpose all related fees, expenses and charges). These maximum amounts may not exceed 10% of a bank’s Technical Capital. However, there are several circumstances under which the limit may be raised. In general, the limit is raised to 25% when amounts lent above 5% of Technical Capital are secured by guarantees that comply with the financial guidelines provided in Decree 2555 of 2010, as amended.

Notwithstanding the general rule set above regarding the lending limit of 10%, Decree 816 of 2014 was issued to promote the financing of fourth generation road concessions (concesiones de cuarta generación), and establishes that commercial banks can lend to a single borrower who is pursuing a fourth generation concession, a sum up to 25% its Technical Capital. Fourth generation concessions is a governmental program issued under the current administration of President Santos, through which the government plans to execute the construction of road infrastructure projects in association with private entities.

Also, according to Decree 2555 of 2010, a bank may not make loans to any shareholder that holds directly more than 10% of its capital stock for one year after such shareholder reaches the 10% threshold. In no event may a loan to a shareholder holding directly or indirectly 20% or more of CorpBanca Colombia’s capital stock exceed 20% of the Bank’s Technical Capital. In addition, no loan to a single financial institution may exceed 30% of CorpBanca Colombia’s Technical Capital, with the exception of loans funded by Colombian development banks which are not subject to such limit.

Also, Decree 2555 of 2010 sets a maximum limit for risk concentrated in one single party, equivalent to 30% of CorpBanca Colombia’s Technical Capital, the calculation of which includes loans, leasing operations and equity and debt investments.

The Central Bank of Colombia also has the authority to establish maximum limits on the interest rates that commercial banks and other financial institutions may charge on loans. However, interest rates must also be consistent with market terms with a maximum limit certified by the Colombian Superintendency of Finance.

Selected Statistical Information

The following information is included for analytical purposes and should be read in conjunction with our financial statements as well as “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects”. Unless otherwise indicated, financial data in the following tables as of December 31, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 20142015 has been expressed in Chilean pesos as of December 31, 2014.2015. The UF is linked to, and is adjusted daily to reflect changes in, the previous month’s CPI.

Average Balance Sheets, Income Earned From Interest-Earning Assets and Interest Paid on Interest Bearing Liabilities

The average balances for interest-earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, including interest and readjustments received and paid, have been calculated on the basis of daily balances on an unconsolidated basis. Unless otherwise set forth herein, such average balances as they apply to the operations of our subsidiaries were calculated on the basis of month-end balances. Such average balances are presented in Chilean pesos, in UFs and in foreign currencies (principally US$).

The nominal interest rate has been calculated by dividing the amount of interest and principal readjustment due to changes in the UF index (gain or loss) during the period by the related average balance, both amounts expressed in Chilean pesos. The nominal rates calculated for each period have been converted into real rates using the following formulas:

 

 

Rp=

 

1 + Np

 

-1    

 

 

Rd=

 

(1 + Nd)(1 + D)

 

-1    

 

1 + 11+1

  

1 + Np

      

(1 + Nd)(1 + D)

  
Rp=    -1  Rd=    -1
  1 + 1      1+1  

Where:

Rp= real average rate for Chilean peso-denominated assets and liabilities (in Ch$ and UF) for the period,

Rd= real average rate for foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities for the period,

Np= average nominal rate for Chilean peso-denominated assets and liabilities for the period,

Nd= average nominal rate for foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities for the period,

D= devaluation rate of the Chilean peso to the U.S. dollar for the period, and

I= inflation rate in Chile for the period (based on the variation of the Chilean consumer price index).

The real interest rate can be negative for a portfolio of Chilean peso-denominated loans when the inflation rate for the period is higher than the average nominal rate of the loan portfolio for the same period. A similar effect could occur for a portfolio of foreign currency denominated loans when the inflation rate for the period is higher than the sum of the devaluation rate for the period and the corresponding average nominal rate of the portfolio. The formula for the average real rate for foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities (Rd) reflects a gain or loss in purchasing power caused by the difference between the devaluation rate of the Chilean peso and the inflation rate in Chile during the period.

The following example illustrates the calculation of the real interest rate for a dollar-denominated asset bearing a nominal annual interest rate of 10% (Nd = 0.10), assuming a 5% annual devaluation rate (D = 0.05) and a 12% annual inflation rate (I = 0.12):

 

Rd=

(1 + 0.10)(1 + 0.05)

-1=

3.125% per year

Rd=-1=
1 + 0.12

In the example, since the inflation rate was higher than the devaluation rate, the real rate is lower than the nominal rate in dollars. If, for example, the annual devaluation rate were 15%, using the same numbers, the real rate in Chilean pesos would be 12.9%, which is higher than the nominal rate in U.S. dollars. Using the initial example, if the annual inflation rate were greater than 15.5%, the real rate would be negative.

Interest and average balances have been calculated by taking into consideration the following:

 

Foreign exchange gains or losses on foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities have not been included in interest income or expense;

 

Interest on financial investments does not include trading gains or losses on these investments;

 

Past due loans only include the payments that are 90 or more days overdue, and do not include the portion of such loan that is not overdue (principal amount) or those payments which are less than 90 days overdue, unless legal proceedings have been commenced for the entire outstanding balance according to the terms of the loan. This practice differs from that normally followed in the United States where the amount classified as past due would include the total principal, payments and interest on all loans which have any portion overdue;

 

Penalty interest is not recognized on past due payments (loans with more than one payment) or past due loans (one payment).

 

The interest earned from past due loans is only the proportion of interest earned on each of these payments. We do not accrue penalty interest on these payments;

 

Loans that are not yet 90 days or more overdue have been included in each of the various categories of loans, and affect the various averages;

 

Non-performing commercial loans (those loans which do not accrue interest) consist of loans included in Categories C4-C6 and loans (or portions thereof) that are overdue;

 

Included in loans and receivables to banks are interbank deposits maintained in the Central Bank of Chile and foreign banks. Such assets have a distorting effect on the average interest rate earned on total interest-earning assets because currently balances maintained in Chilean peso amounts do not earn interest, and the only balances held in a foreign currency that earn interest are those maintained in U.S. dollars, but those only earn interest on the amounts that are legally required to be held for liquidity purposes. Additionally, this account includes interest earned by overnight investments. Consequently, the average interest earned on such assets is comparatively low. We maintain these deposits in these accounts to comply with statutory requirements and to facilitate international business, rather than to earn income; and

 

The monetary gain or loss on interest-earning assets and interest bearing liabilities is not included as a component of interest income or interest expense because inflation effects are taken into account in the calculation of real interest rates.

The following tables show, by currency of denomination, average balances and, where applicable, interest amounts, nominal rates and rates for our assets and liabilities for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2014.2015.

Changes in Net Interest Income and Interest Expense—Volume and Rate Analysis

The following tables allocate, by currency of denomination, changes in our net interest income between changes in the average volume of interest-earning assets and interest bearing liabilities and changes in their –respective nominal interest rates from 2012 to 2013 and 2013 to 2014.2014 and 2014 to 2015. Volume and rate variances have been calculated based on movements in average balances over the year and changes in nominal interest rates, average interest-earning assets and average interest bearing liabilities. The net change attributable to changes in both volume and rate has been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

Information on the Company—Business Overview—Selected Statistical Information—Average Balance Sheets, Income Earned from Interest Earning Assets and Interest Paid on Interest Bearing Liabilities”.

The loan categories are as follows:

Commercial loans

General commercialCommercial loans. General commercial: Commercial loans are long-termlong- and short-term loans granted to Chilean corporations and individuals, including checking overdraft lines for companies, in Chilean pesos, inflation linked UF, US$ or US$Colombian pesos on an adjustable or fixed rate basis, primarily to finance working capital or investments. Commercial loans represent the largest portion of our loan portfolio. Interest accrues daily on a 30-day or 360-day basis. Loan payments are scheduled monthly, biannually or yearly, depending on the terms of the loan. Although we determine the interest rate, it cannot exceed the maximum rate for commercial loans.

Foreign trade loans.: Foreign trade loans are fixed rate, short-term loans made in foreign currenciescurrency (principally US$) to finance imports andor exports.

Current account debtors.: The term “current account debtors” refers to our customers that receive short-term operating loans with a pre-approved credit limit. This category includes overdrafts loans.

Factored receivablesFactoring operations. Factored receivables: Factoring operations refer to the transactions in which our customers assign their accounts receivable (invoices, bills, among others) to us, which allows them to convert their sales into cash regardless the original terms agreed for payment, improving their liquidity, financial indices and also delegating the collection management efforts to us and/or our subsidiaries.

Leasing transactions: Leasing transactions are derived fromagreements for the financial lease of capital equipment and other property of our factoring operations, which consist of purchasing outstanding loan portfolios, such as bills, invoices, notes, or contracts, advancing a payment representing the future cash flows from such assets, and then performing the related collection function. The receivables are sold with recourse in the event accounts become uncollectible.

Leasing contracts. Leasing contracts are contracts that include a clause granting a lessee a purchase option on leased assets at the end of the contract.clients.

Other outstanding loans and receivables.: Other loans and receivables refer to outstanding loans include otherincluding commercial loans not classified in any of the above categories which are financed by our general borrowings.described above.

Mortgage loans are either inflation-indexed (denominatedgranted in UF)the form of letters of credit or denominated in Chilean pesos at fixed rates. Theseother endorsable instruments/credit operations. This category also includes liaison credits granted before the mortgage loans are perfected; bilateral loans for purposes ancillary to the ones mentioned above; housing leasing operations and other receivables. Any loan granted to repay or restructure all or part of the credits described above belongs in this category.

Mortgage loans include the following sub-categories:

Letters of credit loans:Thissub-category includesinflation-indexed, fixed or variable rate, long-term loans with monthly payments of principal and interest secured by a real property mortgage. Mortgage loans represent the largest portion of our portfolio of loans to individuals. As required by the SBIF, mortgage loans include the loans granted to individuals in order to acquire, expand, repair or construct their houses. Mortgage loans include letters of credit loans, endorsable mutual mortgage loans or other mutual mortgage loans. In relation to the letters of credit loans, Chapter 9-1 of the Regulations of the SBIF states that the banks may originate these products only in the granting of loans for acquisition, construction or extension of houses, as long as the loans are granted to the final users of such properties. In the other loans that are granted, such as those to construction companies for the construction of one or more houses, we are required to use letters of credit for general purposes. Regarding endorsable mortgage loans, Chapter 8-4 of the Regulations of the SBIF, states that the banks are allowed to grant endorsable loansfinanced with mortgage guarantees, subject to the provisions stipulated in No. 7 of Article 69 of the General Law on Banks and in the previously mentioned Chapter. Other mortgage loans includes the complementary credits to the loans granted for these same purposes and the linkage credits granted before the granting of the mortgage loans. It considers also the leasing operations for housing and other accounts receivable. Any credit granted to pay or restructure all or part of the previously mentioned credits, shall also be included in this item. Mortgage loans denominated in UF are financed in two ways: traditional mortgage loans are financed by letters of credit loans that we issue and sell in the Chilean financial market, and new and flexible mortgages are financed by our own funds. Mortgage loans denominated in Chilean pesos are financed by our own funds and through liabilities denominated in Chilean pesos with durations of two to five years. We no longer offer mortgage loans denominated in Chilean pesos because there was low demand for that product.notes. At the time of the approval of the amount of arelevant loan by the bank, these mortgage loanloans cannot be more thanexceed 75% of the lower of the purchase price or the appraised value of the mortgaged property. Interest accrues daily basedLetter of credit loans are our general obligations, and we are liable for all principal and accrued interest on a 360-day year. Although we have allowances for mortgage loan losses,such Notes. The main difference between Letter of credit loans or Mortgages Bonds is the fact that Letter of credit loans fund specific mortgage loans are ultimately(on a credit by credit basis) while Mortgages Bonds fund portfolios of mortgage loans.

Consumer loans

These are loans to individuals, granted in Chilean pesos, generally on a fixed rate basis, to finance the purchase of consumer goods or to pay for services. They also include credit card balances subject to interest charges. Interest accrues daily on a 30—or 360-day basis. Loan payments are due monthly.

As part of our business model we seek to be able to assist our customers when they are experiencing financial problems that cause them to fall behind on their payments. As a result, we make certain concessions when we renegotiate a loan, which may include the following: (i) extension of payment period; (ii) modifications to the interest rate based on each customer’s ability to pay; and (iii) forgiveness of interest payments.

The above-mentioned concessions are considered on a case-by-case basis. The grant of any concessions will depend on the situation of each customer and pursuant to the analysis by the branch agent in charge of such loan. We do not quantify the balance of consumer loans we have renegotiated by type of concession.

Past due loans, include with respect to any loan, the amount of principal or interest that is 90 days or more overdue, and do not include the installments of such loan that are not overdue or that are less than 90 days overdue, unless legal proceedings have been commenced for the entire outstanding balance.

Loans and receivables from banks, include interbank loans to local and foreign banks and deposits in the Central Bank of Chile.

Contingent loans,are those operations or commitments in which the bank assumes a credit risk upon committing itself to third parties, before the occurrence of a future fact, to make a payment or disbursement that must be recovered from its clients.

The Bank keeps a record of the following balances related to commitments or to liabilities of its own line of business in memorandum accounts: collateral and guarantees, confirmed foreign letters of credit, documentary letters of credit issued, bank vouchers, inter-bank vouchers, freely disposable lines of credit, other credit commitments and other contingencies.

See Note 1 “General Information and summary of significant accounting policies” and Note 22 “Contingencies, commitments and responsibilities” to our audited consolidated financial statements included herein for a better understanding and analysis of the figures held off sheet balance.

Any collateral provided generally consists of a mortgage on real estate, a pledge of marketable securities, a letter of credit or cash. The existence and amount of collateral generally varies from loan to loan.

We use several types of concessions, frequently used in the market, to renegotiate our loans such as payment extensions, new operations or external refinancing to reduce the probability of losing the amount of the loan that the client has with us and improve collections.

With respect to the renegotiated loan portfolio, most of the loans are classified as impaired, and therefore the associated allowance for loan losses are based on the fair value less estimated cost to sell of the underlying collateral of each loan. To reclassify a renegotiated loan out of the impaired classification we conduct an individualized analysis of each customer. We consider if the customer has paid its loan for a reasonable period of time and the expected behavior of the customer for paying the remainder of the loan. In order to remove the renegotiated status from a loan, a customer must have improved its payment ability (credit risk profile) and must also demonstrate an improvement in its payment history. Once a minimum period of 4 to 6 months has passed, and a debtor’s situation has been duly rectified and documented, an executive

in the commercial loan department may request that the renegotiated status of such loan be removed by the Assets Control Management team (which is an independent group in the commercial loan department that has the sole authority to change the risk classification of a loan). An executive in the commercial loan department has the exclusive authority to request a new classification on behalf of a customer.

The method of determining the allowance and provision for loan losses described in this section represents Chilean Bank GAAP accounting and is a regulatory required disclosure. This information has been provided in order to provide the reader with a more in-depth analysis. Notwithstanding, our allowance and provision for loan losses as recorded in our financial statements included herein have been determined in accordance with IFRS.

We have a group that handles loans referred to as our normalization portfolio. The activities of such group include:

 

Analysis ofAnalyzing the status of borrowers to assess the chances of recovery;

 

Establishing strategies and action plans to arrive at negotiated payment schedules;

 

Making the decision, based on the compliance with negotiated payment schedules, whether to transfer debtors to court collection;

 

Supervising and monitoring the progress of legal collection; and

 

Establishing mechanisms for the control and monitoring of impaired customers and the transfer of such customers to the functional area of normalization.

Given thatBecause the group acts as one unit and the group’s aim is the management of this portfolio as a whole, we believe that the activity in the table presented above best represents the activities that we undertake with respect to those loans. The main difference between normalization portfolio and renegotiated portfolio for commercial loans, is that loans may be transferred to the normalization portfolio prior to the commencement of the renegotiation process to the extent, as defined internally, that the loan has demonstrated evidence of credit deterioration through deterioration in rating category, among others, requiring specific portfolio management procedures.

Treatment of debtors with commercial operations higher than UF1,000:

A loan from a customer classified as Large Companies, Corporate and Real Estate, Corporate Banking, SME Banking and Private Banking segments, which meet one of the following conditions, will be transferred to the normalization portfolio:

 

Customers with a risk grade of C3 or worse.

 

Customers in default (for 90 days or more). After a 90-day period, the customer will be transferred to the normalization portfolio if such customer is unable to remedy the default.

 

Customers that experience a sudden and severe deterioration in their financial position, and/or customers that have entered into any payment arrangements with theirother creditors, and/or customer that need a higher commitment, regardless of their credit risk grade.

 

Any customer that could possibly result in a loss to the Bank, even if they are not in default.

Treatment for debtors with commercial operations less than UF1,000:

 

Management and collection will beis under the supervision of the executive in the segment where such loan originated.

 

Debtors with loan balances exceeding UF50 and in default for more than 90 days, unless under exceptional circumstances, will be transferred to collection, which will be under the supervision of the executive within the commercial loan segment.

The loan or loans that will be transferred to the normalization portfolio following any of the aforementioned conditions must be transferred with the debtor’s entire portfolio consisting of all of the transactions and balance of such customer with the Bank. The normalization portfolio management team is responsible for determining any action that will be taken against the customer (renegotiation of the loan or collection), within a period not exceeding 30 days.

No customer with a risk higher than UF1,000 can be sent to collection without first being transferred to the normalization portfolio.

Any customer in default for more than 120 days and with a debt higher than UF50, and not having completed renegotiation of the loan, must be sent to collection. Any exception to this deadline must be approved by the normalization portfolio management team.

Risk Index of Our Loan Portfolio

The risk index is calculated as ratio of the allowance for loan losses over total loans. Beginning in January 2008, in relation to the reclassifications of the balance sheet to conform to IFRS, ourOur risk index for commercial loans is calculated by including commercial current account debtors, foreign trade loans, commercial leases, factoring and other commercial loans. Mortgage loans include mortgage leasing arrangements and consumer mortgage loans, which include consumer leasing.

Commercial loans. Our risk index as of December 31, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 20142015 was 1.1%1.0%, 1.0% and 1.0%1.3% respectively. The quality of our commercial loans depends on Chilean GDP growth, interest rates, changes in regulations, the general level of indebtedness and other economic conditions. Commercial loans include foreign trade loans, leasing contracts and factored receivables.

The main objective of our credit risk division is to maintain an adequate risk-return ratio for our assets, providing balance between commercial business goals and sound risk acceptance criteria, in accordance with our strategic objectives. This division’s work is based on its associates’ experience in evaluating credit risk using specialized, segmented management techniques, which has enabled it to build a sound, risk-conscious culture aligned with our strategy.

Such division helps define credit processes for the companies segment, including approval, monitoring and collections practices, using a regulatory and preventive outlook on credit risk. It also actively participates in loan approval and monitoring processes, which has helped us spread a risk-focused culture throughout the bank, reinforced by ongoing training for sales and risk executives. The division also directly manages higher risk loans in order to maximize recovery using a specialized approach.

Finally, the division’s assets quality indicators Developedratios developed less favorably in comparison to 2013. This includes2014. Nevertheless, our asset quality ratios, including the risk index, the non performing loans and the past-due loans, both of which outperformedcontinued to outperform the financial system.

Mortgage loans. The risk index of our residential mortgage loans as of December 31, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 20142015 was 0.4%, 0.4%0.3% and 0.3%0.4%, respectively.

The year ended with the ongoing recalibrationDespite of the provisioningincrease between 2014 and 2015 it is important to consider that (i) non performing loans for this segment has decreased by 1.3%; and (ii) commercial activity in this segment was self constraint in preparation for the new SBIF’s standard credit-provisioning model for residential mortgage loans which provided a modelthat is effective in Chile since January 2016, though this portfolio remained stable in 2015. Therefore, on the one hand this impacted Risk Index but on the other, benefited the coverage for estimated incurred losses, regularized standards and improved a set of provisioning models for the segment.non performing loans.

CorpBanca’s model for mortgage loans collectively evaluated for impairment recognizes loan losses only when they are incurred, in accordance with the guidance in IAS 39.BC109, and consistent with paragraph BC108 and BC110 of the same (as indicated in paragraph IAS 39.108 “a deterioration in the credit quality of an asset or a group of assets after their initial recognition”) and does not recognize impairment on the basis of expected future transactions or events. Thus, for a loss to be incurred, an event that provides objective evidence of impairment must have occurred and be supported by current observable data.

Consumer loans. The risk index of our consumer loans as of December 31, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 20142015 was 2.2%1.7%, 1.7%2.0% and 2.0%,1.5% respectively.

Consumer risk index decreased due to the credit quality improvement of new loans and also due to our risk management and collection performance.

Collections management was strengthened during 2014, demonstrating improved productivity since 2011. This allowed for increased recovery of outstanding amounts throughout the entire retail banking division.

Lastly, the division also created a risk committee, or the Risk Committee, comprised of directors and senior executives that continuously monitor division activities based on the objectives of the bank and the business segment.

To better understandWe consider CorpBanca’s Risk Indexes it isIndex to be an important indicator of the quality of CorpBanca’s loan portfolio. As calculated pursuant to highlightthe requirements of the SBIF, the Risk Index includes an adjustment for acquired loans to reflect the total of the portfolio by adding back the valuation allowance for the contractual cash flows that CorpBanca’sare deemed to be uncollectible at the date of acquisition. This has had impact on our Risk Index as calculated for purposes of the SBIF given that our loan portfolio is comprised of two types of loans when they are analyzed based onin terms of their origination: (i) loans originated as a part of our day-to-day activitiesactivities; and (ii) loans acquired through business combinations. The latter refers to loans arising fromthat became part of our portfolio as a result of the acquisitionacquisitions of CorpBanca Colombia and Helm Bank. We refer to the calculation of this Risk Index pursuant to the SBIF requirements as our SBIF Risk Index.

The adjustment described above is not utilized for purposes of calculating the Risk Index using our IFRS financial information. IFRS 3 Business Combination, indicatesprovides that: “The acquirer shall not recognize a separate valuation allowance as of the acquisition date for assets acquired in a business combination that are measured at their acquisition-date fair values because the effects of uncertainty about future cash flows are included in the fair value measure.” Therefore, for loans acquired through business combinations, no allowance for loan losses is recorded at the combination or acquisition date. We refer to our Risk Index as calculated using our IFRS financial information as our IFRS Risk Index.

However, our discussion of risk index above includes an adjustment for acquired loans to reflect the total of the portfolio by adding back the valuation allowance for the contractual cash flows that are deemed to be uncollectible at the date of acquisition, we advise that this adjusted risk index mentioned above is not used in the calculation of our allowance under IFRS. According to this information, our unadjusted risk indexesIFRS Risk Index as of December 31, 20132014 and 20142015 (calculated using general ledger balances) were:was:

During 2015, our loan portfolio was negatively impacted by the slowdown in the Chilean and Colombian economies. While our loan portfolio grew by 4.3%, the composition of our loan portfolio as of December 31, 2015 reflected a greater increase in commercial loans, which is the segment with the lowest level of risk. Our portfolio of commercial loans increased from Ch$10,090,574 million to Ch$10,696,518 million and our mortgage loan portfolio, also one of our low risk segment, has remained quite stable between Ch$2,229,558 million in 2014 and Ch$2,228,619 million in 2015, these are increases of a 6.0% and 0.0%, respectively as compared to our portfolio of consumer loans, the segment with the highest level of risk, which decreased by 0.4%. As of December 31, 2015, consumer loans represented 11.6% of our total loan portfolio compared to 12.2% as of December 31, 2014.

The consumer loans segment represents the single highest level of risk in our loan portfolio. As of December 31, 2015, the risk index (ratio of allowance for loans losses over total loans) of this segment was 1.5% – reflecting a 0.5% decrease in 2015 – while other segments of our loan portfolio such as mortgage loans and commercial loans had lower risk indexes of 0.4% and 1.3%, respectively.

Our consumer loan portfolio may experience loan losses due to the absence of collateral in respect of unsecured loans, insufficient collateral in collateralized loans, and risks relating to the circumstances of individual borrowers, including unemployment or incapacitation of our consumer borrowers.

We significantly increased our allowances for loan losses as a consequence of difficulties experienced by the Colombian oil & gas industry and related sectors during the year 2015. However, the 26.4% increase in the allowances was mitigated by the decrease in our consumer loan portfolio which lead to lower allowances for loan losses in this segment. As aforementioned, the IFRS Risk Index of commercial loans’ and the mortgage loans’ segments is of 1.3% and 0.4%, respectively while the consumer loans’ segment has a IFRS Risk Index of 1.5%. For comparison purposes, the SBIF Risk Index of our commercial, mortgage and consumers’ loans’ segments is of 2.4%, 0.8% and 4.7%, respectively. The above explains the assertion that our asset quality, as measured by the IFRS Risk Indices, remains unchanged, despite the increase in our allowances for loan losses.

Companies Credit Risk Division

The goal of the Companies Credit Risk Division is to maintain an adequate ratio of risk to return for the corporate loan portfolio, provide a balance between commercial business goals, and to maintain sound acceptance criteria. These objectives are all in accordance with our strategic objectives.

To accomplish this goal, this division combines the following elements: (i) personnel with significant experience from various divisions, (ii) a sound, risk-conscious culture aligned with our strategy, (iii) a well defined corporate credit process, in terms of approval, monitoring and collection procedures, (iv) a regulatory and preventive outlook on risk, (v) active participation in the loan approval process, complete with a market-segmented structure, (vi) supervision of the loan approval process via monitoring, default and ex-post review committees, (vii) dissemination of a risk-conscious culture throughout the bank, (viii) continuous training for executives in the commercial and risk areas, and (ix) direct participation through the Risk Division in managing and collecting on deteriorated loans.

In addition, we have a number of credit committees with the ability to approve loans within certain amounts and terms depending on the credit risk rating of the potential borrower. Various risk managers of different levels of seniority participate in the credit approval process when certain predefined credit levels are surpassed.

Credit Review Process

We perform a credit analysis of our entire commercial and retail (consumer) borrowers. Credit risk presented by our current or potential borrowers is evaluated in accordance with policies and standards which have been approved by the Boardboard of Directors.directors.

A potential commercial borrower’s evaluation focuses primarily on the credit history and reputation of its owners and management, its market position and the demand for its products or services, its production processes and facilities, its current and projected cash flows, its solvency and when it applies, the guarantees offered in connection with the loan. We also use tools such as sector reports, standard risk models for major industries, and reports relating to the potential commercial borrower’s sales patterns.

In the case of individual retail borrowers, the credit approval process is based primarily on an evaluation of the borrower’s credit behavior which combines the applicant’s commercial behavioral variables such as current debt levels, ability to pay and socio-economic level, among others, along with centralized evaluation and decision-making systems in cases where the applicant does not fit the standard model. The information presented by a prospective borrower is evaluated by considering the individual’s income, expenses, personal assets, credit history and our previous experience (if any) with the individual.

Prior to extending credit to a commercial borrower, we assign a credit risk rating to such potential borrower based on our analysis that helps identify each applicant’s risk profile. These ratings are based on a scale of 1 to 10, with a rating of 1 being excellent and rating of 10 corresponding to certain loss. In general, we consider ratings 1 through 6 to be acceptable ratings, and ratings 7 through 10 to be indicative of probable losses. Loan approvals are made at various levels and with varying degrees of involvement by different categories of executives (A through I) depending on the credit risk rating we have assigned to the potential borrower, the size of the loan under consideration and the collateral offered, if any. Collateral granted for loans generally consists of mortgages on real estate. In all cases, the approval of at least three officers is required in order to approve a loan.

Our evaluation of a potential transaction with a borrower is based on the concept of total customer risk. Total customer risk takes into account (i) the direct risk (actual and potential), (ii) the indirect risk, and (iii) the risks related to the client, such as having common partners, being part of an economic group or common guarantees.

The following table shows the category of executives that were required to approve secured and unsecured commercial borrowing transactions, according to the credit risk rating of the potential borrower and the Chilean pesos amount of the total customer risk based on exchange rates in effect prior to end of December 2014:2015:

(1)Credit or loan operations with debtors who are in Risk Categoryrisk category A6 or worst or G3 or worst, or in Substandard Portfolio or Non-Performing Portfolio, or in Special Surveillance Out, Structured Out, Decrease or Guarantee, shall be approved at least for a Level of Authority “C1” or “B”. This restriction will not be applied to those debtors who are still being managed by the Normalization Management.

All transactions at the Risk Committee level or higher are reviewed by our credit risk managers. All transactions resulting in total customer credit risk in excess of the amounts that can be reviewed by the Superior Committee as shown in the above table must be authorized by the directors committee of our Boardboard of Directors,directors, or the Directors Committee, the CEO and three other members of the Boardboard of Directors.directors.

Our Credit Risk Divisions also monitor compliance with the terms of loans we have granted, such as payment dates, conditions and covenants. The monitoring process includes verification of the use of proceeds and contractual conditions, continuing financial analysis of the borrower and any guarantors, on-site visits to the borrower’s place of business, confirmation of credit information and analysis of the economic environment as it affects the borrower or its sector, among other tools. Generally, the credit risk department performs this monitoring on a yearly basis. If a debtor exhibits an elevated level of risk based on the results of our yearly monitoring, we may place such debtor on a special watch list. We monitor

debtors on the watch list on a monthly basis. The credit risk department regularly meets to decide whether to take any action (such as reducing outstanding loan amounts or requesting collateral) in respect of debtors on the watch list. In addition, our credit risk department has a unit dedicated to administering the loan accounts of debtors with respect to which losses are expected or have occurred. This unit supervises the process of collections and legal proceedings.

We also monitor the quality of the loan portfolio on a continuous basis. The purpose of this special supervision is to maintain constant scrutiny of the portions of the portfolio that represent the greatest risk and to anticipate any deterioration. Based on this ongoing review of the loan portfolio, we believe we are able to detect problem loans and make a decision on a client’s status. This includes measures such as reducing or extinguishing a loan, or requiring better collateral from the client. The control systems require that loans be reviewed at least three times per year for those clients in the lowest category of credit watch.

Classification of Loan Portfolio

Loans are divided into: (1) consumer loans (including loans granted to individuals for the purpose of financing the acquisition of consumer goods or payment of services); (2) residential mortgage loans (including loans granted to individuals for the acquisition, construction or repair of residential real estate, in which the value of the property covers at least 100% of the amount of the loan); and (3) commercial loans (including all loans other than consumer loans and residential mortgage loans). The models and methods used to classify our loan portfolio and establish credit loss allowances must follow the following guiding principles, which have been approved by our Boardboard of Directors.directors.

Loans Analyzed on an Individual Basis

For individually large loans under IFRS, we use internal models to assign a risk category level to each customer and their respective loans. We consider the following risk factors: industry or sector in which the customer operates, owners or managers of the customer, customer’s financial situation, its payment capacity and payment history to calculate the estimated incurred loan loss.

Through this categorization, we differentiate the normal loans from the impaired ones.

These are our risk categories:

1. Customers classified in risk categories A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, or A6 are current or have less than 30 days overdue on their payment obligations and show no significant sign of deterioration in their credit quality. Customers classified in risk categories B1, B2, B3 or B4 are overdue between 30 and 89 days on their payment obligations, thus showing a certain level of indication of deterioration in credit quality. B category is different from the A because of a history of late payments.

2. Customers classified as C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, or C6 include clients whose loans with us have been charged off or are being administered by a specialized area.

For loans classified as A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, B1, B2, B3 and B4, we assign a specific allowance percentage on an individual basis to each customer. The amount of the allowance for loan losses is determined based on debt servicing capacity, the company´s financial history, solvency and capacity of shareholders and management and projections for the industry sector in which the customer operates. There is a determined allowance percentage by group of customers with similar characteristics, i.e., A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, B1, B2, B3 and B4).

Estimated Incurred Loan Loss = Allowance for Loan Losses

The estimated incurred loss is determined by multiplying the risk factors as defined in the following equation:

 

EIL= =EXP X PNP X SEV

EXP= =Exposure
 Exposure
PNP= =Probability of Non-Performance
SEV= =Severity
 Severity
EIL= =Estimated Incurred Loss.

EIL = Estimated Incurred Loss” means the amount that could be lost in the event a client does not perform the obligations under the loan agreement.

EXP = Exposure” means the value of the loan (unpaid principal balance).

PNP = Probability of Non-Performance” means the probability, expressed as a percentage, that a customer will default within the next 12 months. This percentage is associated with the rating that we give to each client, which is determined by analyzing such parameters as debt servicing capacity (including, usually, projected cash flows), the customer’s financial history, the solvency and capacity of shareholders and management of the customer, and projections for the economic sector in which the customer operates.

SEV = Severity” means the effective loss rate given for default for customer in the same risk category, which is determined statistically based on the historical effective losses.

Every year the PNP and SEV assumptions are evaluated by our Credit Department,credit department, which could result in modifications to the PNP and the SEV of a client. These tests focus on the validation of the sufficiency of our allowances, and consist of comparisons between actual write-offs to allowances established by the model, and the coverage of the total allowance to actual write-offs in the most current periods. Individual loan classification and improvements to any customer classification are also presented for approval to our Credit Risk Committee.

Allowances for loan losses for each C risk category are based mainly on the fair value of the collateral, adjusted for the estimated cost to sell (7% on average), of each of these loans. The allowance percentage for each category is then based on the level of collateral, or the expected future cash flow from the loan. Our internal policies obligate us to update appraisals for collateral values every 24 months which does not vary by loan product. This period can be changed if market conditions in general or for a specific sector warrant an adjustment to appraisal value by the Risk Department which updated appraisal information is factored into our provision for loan loss calculations. We make no adjustments between appraisals to account for changes in fair value. A change in appraisal value may change the risk category or profile of a client leading to the establishment of more provisions or the removal of provisions.

Models used on Collective Evaluation of Commercial Borrowers of Less than Ch$200 million

There is no difference between our SBIF provision and IFRS provisions for loans collectively evaluated for impairment.

With respect to our portfolio of consumer loans, mortgage loans, and commercial loans under Ch$200,000 million (loans collectively evaluated for impairment (consumer and commercial)), allowances for loan losses are determined by mathematical models. The population is first profiled primarily using the characteristics of payment behavior, aging of the balance of the loan, “probability of default” factors indicating transfer into the normalization portfolio, and socioeconomic status.

Each profile in the commercial loan portfolio has information aggregated by us – basically, historical loss experience (less recoveries).

This historical loss experience, which represents the derived loan loss allowance percentage is applied by profile to the commercial loan portfolio, taking into consideration, if applicable, any additional factors, such as increase in the unemployment rate in the country, economic downswings, etc. based upon more recent experience, should they affect the level of necessary loan loss reserves.

The profiles in the consumer loan portfolio are based on a wider range of variables than those in the commercial model and the variables are weighted and scored. In the aggregate, the sufficiency of the provision is analyzed first by the number of months coverage of historical write-offs. Should the coverage appear inadequate (either high or low or fluctuating significantly in comparison with previous months), vintage model calculations (where loss models are based on the age of the accounts as formulated by a curve which generally reaches, at an identified point in time, a stabilized loss rate) are performed to determine the appropriate allowance percentages to apply. At a minimum, vintage model analysis is performed every six months and the results of such analysis are reported to the Risk Committee.

In contrast to the mathematical models used for provisioning of the commercial and consumer loan portfolio, the provisioning of the mortgage loan portfolio is performed using a statistical model based on the formula SEV x PNP X EXP as explained above in relation to individually significant loans. Segmentation is set up in a different way from the individually significant loans. There are profiles primarily using factors such as demographic characteristics, delinquency, collateral ratio to loan balance and external credit ratings which associated results are “scored” and then assigned to a segment where each has an allowance percentage assigned based on the above formula.

With respect to our portfolio of consumer loans and commercial loans under Ch$200,000200 million, allowances for loan losses are determined by mathematical models. The population is first profiled primarily using the characteristics of payment behavior, aging of the balance of the loan, “probability of default” factors indicating transfer into the normalization portfolio, and socioeconomic status.

Each profile in the commercial loan portfolio has information aggregated by us – basically, historical loss experience (less recoveries).

This historical loss experience which represents the derived loan loss allowance percentage is applied by profile to the commercial loan portfolio, taking into consideration, if applicable, any additional factors, such as increase in the unemployment rate in the country, economic downswings, etc. based upon more recent experience, should they affect the level of necessary loan loss reserves.

At a minimum, vintage model analysis is performed every 6 months and the results of such analysis are reported to the Risk Committee.

Models based on collective analysis for consumer loans and mortgage loans (Retail Banking)

Retail Credit Risk Division

Our Retail Credit Risk Division is responsible for the whole credit cycle management of three business units: Banco Condell (Low income segment (C3-D)), which primarily originates consumer loans, credit cards and a few mortgage loans, SMU Corp (Private Label Credit Card, mainly for our low income segment C3-D) and Retail Banking for higher income segments (our medium-high income segments (ABC1-C2)), which is primarily unsecured lending, consumer loans, revolving lines of credit, credit cards and mortgage loans.

Our credit risk management segment works to provide our branches with the best and simplest available information and tools to maximize the value of their profits and losses. The credit risk management process is composed of the following:

Credit Initiation

We strive to have in place a high quality underwriting process. An excellence in our credit decision-making process means healthy portfolios with very low early delinquency incident rates and profitable asset portfolios. Our credit initiation process consists of:

 

  Credit Initiation Tools. Credit scoring, credit bureau information (60 months of positive and negative information) check lists to support our credit analysis (a five step process), credit policies and daily training.

 

  Accountability and Responsibility (tied to incentive plans). Branch managers know their customers and they are responsible for credit decisions but they must first seek approval with an underwriter (Risk Division). Credit authorization will be delegated based on the results of an internal credit initiation report.

 

  Analytical Driven Sales Process. We know the customers we want and we seek them out. On a monthly basis, our credit division selects names to offer credit cards and revolving credit lines for all segments, current customers or prospective customers.

 

  Control Environment. A four or five month review of accounting records is required to understand sales quality, to assess early delinquency rates and a sales scoring mix is reviewed on a daily basis. Also, branch managers are trained to understand their loan authorization ability (approving credit worthy customers and declining non-credit worthy customers).

Maintenance

We strive to have high market share in the most profitable segments (low-medium risk and medium-high usage) and low market share in the lowest profitable segments (high risk or low usage). The result of which means a higher revenue share. The maintenance process is composed of:

 

  Renewals/Non-Renewals (Revolving Products). Renewals and non-renewals are based on customer payment behavior and profitability.

 

  Campaigns. Top-up and cross-selling offers are implemented. On a monthly basis, the Risk Division selects our best customers to offer refinancing options on their current loans. Our goal is to have 100% of a customers’ “share of wallet” in our most profitable segments, which provides us with a healthy balance of investments among the products and services we offer.

Collection

We strive to have in place a high quality collection process, consisting of the right strategy, vendors and products and policies.

 

  Collection Strategy. Our collection strategy is currently based on geographic coverage and delinquency buckets. It includes reporting delinquent customers to the credit bureau (15 days past due). The next steps include customer risk segmentation to define our end-to-end collection strategy (intensity of calls, letters, mms (multimedia messaging), scripts, skip tracing and remedial offers). Our collection strategy is also included in the branch manager’s responsibilities.

  Vendors. Our vendors provide cover, benchmarks and sometimes testing (champion/challenger). Also, the continuity of our business plan requires the use of vendors in cases of emergency and union instability, among others.

 

  Policies and Products. Rewrites, remedial offers and settlements are made as needed. We must maximize capital recovery.

 

Technology. Our systems, Predictive Dialer and Collection System, are in place.
Technology. Our systems, Predictive Dialer and Collection System, are in place.

 

  Control Environment. Customer surveys and strong Management Information Systems enable us to have a controlled process.

Write-off Policy, Recovery and Planning

The write-off policy, recovery and planning process consists of:

 

  Write-off Policy. Our write-off policy is triggered for an unsecured portfolio at 180 days past due and 4 years for mortgages.

 

  Loan Loss Reserve. History of write-offs and recoveries are used to calculate each portfolio. On a monthly basis a Back Testing Analysis is performed in order to ensure the right coverage, as well as model performance.

Management Information Systems (MIS) and Portfolio Management

We strive to develop strong MIS to understand our portfolio performance in real time. The MIS and Portfolio Management processes consist of:

 

  MIS. Reports are prepared to understand the credit portfolio behavior by main segmentations (sales quality, by sales channel, scoring, type of customer, location (branch), products and loan to value (for mortgages), etc.). Also, the Risk Credit Division has the capability to enhance the scope of any analysis if necessary.

 

  Sales Indicators. Sales indicators include total applications, approvals and denials, scoring mix, approval rates, through the door analysis and vintage coincidence, among others (30+, 60+, 90+, write-off and recovery).

 

  Portfolio Review Indicators. Portfolio review indicators include delinquencies by bucket, net flows (roll forward, roll back, stay), is-was analysis, gross write-off, recoveries, net credit losses, charge off, vintage analysis, rewrite of sales, payments, pre-payments and refinance rate, etc.

 

  Portfolio Management. Periodic review against budgets and forecasts in order to adjust and make decisions, if necessary.

However, we cease accruing interest when a given operation or transaction is past due by 90 days or more, when it originated from a refinancing or renegotiation, or when the Bank believes that the debtor poses a high risk of default.
(2)Security generally consists of mortgages on real estate,Guarantees taken by the Bank to secure collections reflected in its loan portfolios are collateral (urban and rural property, farm land, ships and aircraft, mining claims and other assets) and pledges of marketable securities, letters of credit or cash.(inventory, farm assets, industrial assets, plantings and other pledged assets).

THE ECONOMY

Primary Markets in which we Operate

A majority of our investments are located in Chile and Colombia. Accordingly, our financial condition and results of operations are substantially dependent upon economic conditions prevailing in Chile and Colombia.

Developments in the Chilean Economy

Chile experienced profound economic reforms during the 1970s and 1980s. The Chilean economy grew at rates averaging more than 7% per annum from 1985 until the onset of the Asian economic crisis in 1997. The average rate of growth from 1998 to 2006 decreased to 3.6%, with a period of higher growth in 2007 with a rate of 5.1%. In 2008, this rate slowed to 3.5% as a worldwide recession hit many developed nations. The 2008 global financial crisis and the ensuing liquidity crisis and fear of further bank failures unleashed an accelerated reduction in indebtedness within the global financial system, with massive liquidations of assets and costly attempts to recapitalize banks, both in the United States and Europe.

Chile began to experience the impact of these negative global conditions towards the end of 2008, principally in the form of write-downs of local assets, a deceleration in the margin of some activity indicators and a moderation in the strong inflationary pressure.

The first three quarters of 2008 were characterized by significant absorption of external inflation, which caused domestic prices to rise. This resulted in high local inflation figures that, as of October 2008, showed a nearly 10% variation over the prior twelve months, far exceeding the goal of 3% established by local monetary authorities (as of December 2008, inflation reached 7.1%). In this highly inflationary environment, the Central Bank of Chile acted by successively increasing the monetary policy rate during the year. Thus, the monetary rate that began the year at 6% reached approximately 8.3% by September 2008 and closed the year at the same level. Nevertheless, at year-end, the international value of some energy-related commodities dropped, which lowered inflation for the last quarter, with 2008 accumulated inflation of approximately 7.1%, significantly lower than previously forecasted figures.

During 2009, the Chilean economy suffered its worst contraction in the last 30 years, as a result of the impact of the global crisis that originated in developed countries and spread to emerging economies. As a result, the local economy significantly contracted, which was influenced by the deterioration of the industrial, mining and commercial sectors. The global crisis put severe stress on financial markets around the world with the ability to obtain credit being adversely affected, thereby stifling the productive capacity of many countries around the world. In particular, the leading commercial regions (US, the European Union and Japan) suffered the worst economic downturn in decades.

During the third quarter of 2009, the global economy began on a path towards recovery, particularly in developed economies with large industrial sectors. Asian countries, In such as China, and some South American countries began to exhibit fast growth rates in manufacturing production. This growth in manufacturing production reversed the course of a decrease in the volume of commercial goods produced around the world. However, the growth in the third quarter of 2009 was in large part the result of specific stimulus packages initiated by governments around the world, whereby governments heavily increased their spending to compensate for the shrinking demand in the private sector. Nevertheless, the more developed economies experienced a seemingly stable recovery due to the lingering influence of uncertainty in the financial markets. As a result, the labor markets in several countries suffered and many consumption-based economies began some form of debt reduction processes.

During 2009,year, the Chilean GDP decreased by 1.7%, which was the worst decrease in GDP since the 1980’s. In Chile, the labor market was the sector that was impacted the most, with the unemployment rate reported to have reached a peak of 10.8% in the third quarter of 2009. As a result of a fall in the price of goods and the appreciation of the U.S. dollar, Chile experienced deflation for the first time in 74 years (at a rate of (1.4%)). As a result, the Central Bank of Chile’s monetary rate reached a historic low of 0.5%, which remained as such throughout 2009. In addition, the Central Bank of Chile adopted non-traditional monetary policies such as establishing a liquidity fund for banks to utilize to finance plant maintenance programs. Towards the end of 2009, the weakening of the U.S. dollar and the stable rise in the price of copper helped appreciate the Chilean peso.

During 2010, Chile experienced a notable economic recovery. After the 1.7% decrease in GDP during 2009, the Chilean economy grew by 5.2% in 2010 and domestic demand increased by 13.6% in 2010.. The unemployment rate returned to pre-crisis levels and the inflation rate decreased to 3% at year end. The Chilean peso appreciated 7.8% against the U.S. Dollar as a result of the improvement of the Chilean economy and the rise in the price of copper. A 47% increase in the price of copper during 2010 was the main factor in Chile’s economic growth and the appreciation in the value of the Chilean peso. In line with the recovery of economic activity and employment, a strong credit recovery was observed throughout 2010. The recovery of conditions for extending credit, as shown in the surveys conducted by the Central Bank of Chile, contributed to this strong performance. According to the Central Bank of Chile’s national accounts, investment played a key role in this positive economic development, with investment growth of 12.2% in 2010. The Chilean government ended 2010 with a moderate surplus as a result of increased revenue (particularly from taxes on copper) and lower spending than budgeted (about 4% instead of 9%).

During 2011 and 2012, the Chilean real GDP grewcontinued to grow by 6% and 5.6%, internal demand increased 9.3%, private investment increased 15.7%, and private consumption increased 9%. The increase in real GDP wasrespectively, increases greater than projected by market consensus.consensus in each case. Internal demand increased 9.3% and 7.1%, private investment increased 15.7% and 12.3% and private consumption increased 9% and 6.1%, respectively. Unemployment also decreased, from 8.3% in 2010 to 7.2% in 2011. Part of this growth can be explained by the strong rebound in economic activity compared to a weaker first half of 2010 that was negatively affected by the February 2010 earthquake2011 and tsunami. The growth in the Chilean economy during 2011 was highlighted by a strong contribution from construction, retail and other service industry sectors. Nevertheless, the industrial products and mining industries continued to experience anemic growth due to their dependence on external factors. Yet, in 2011, Chile experienced an increase in the local mining industry with major investment projects in the north of Chile. According to the Central Bank of Chile’s national accounts, investment played a key role in this positive economic development, with investment growth of 17.6% in 2011.

During 2012, the Chilean real GDP grew by 5.6%, internal demand increased 7.1%, private investment increased 12.3%, and private consumption increased 6.1%. The increase in real GDP was greater than projected by market consensus. Unemployment also decreased, from 7.2% in 2011 to 6.5% in 2012. According to the Central Bank of Chile’s national accounts, investment played a key role in this positive economic development, with investment growth of 12.3% in 2012. Current international economic conditions have affected the Chilean economy. For example, the Chilean economy is experiencing decreases of its exports, especially to Europe, which has seen on average a 43% nominal decline in exports during 2012. The expanding monetary policy in the developed markets, however, has contributed to the increase in foreign direct investments substantially. Foreign direct investments reached a historical record of US$30,323 million in 2012 up 32.3% from the previous year. This increase in foreign direct investments, together with consumption, has also supported economic growth. Private consumption expansion has been substantially supported by durable goods, which increased 12.8% in 2012. This increase can be explained, in part, by a weak U.S. dollar resulting from the expanding monetary policy pursued by the US Federal Reserve.

During 2013, the Chilean real GDP grew by 4.1%, internal demand increased by 3.4%, private investment increased by 0.4%, and private consumption increased by 5.6%. The increase in real GDP was less than projected by market consensus. Unemployment also decreased, from 6.5% in 2012 to 6.0% in 2013. According to the Central Bank of Chile’s national accounts, investment played a key role in this positive economic development, with investment growth of 12.3% in 2012. Current international economic conditions have affected the Chilean economy.

Despite a sustained drop in international trade exports, the Chilean economy has rapidly adjusted to a less favorable international conditions. While GDP grew by 1.7% during 2014, real domestic expenditure decreased by 0.6%, led by a 6.1% contraction rate in real investment. As domestic demand grew softer than total GDP, current account deficit shrank to 1.2% as a percentage of GDP last year from (3.7)% in previous year, putting less pressure on tougher external conditions.

Inflation rate in 2014 accelerated to 4.6% per year, a level not seen since 2008 and considerably higher than Central Bank´sBank’s 3.0% target. This higher than anticipated inflation rate was due to (i) larger than expected pass-through of foreign currency exchange rate to domestic prices and (ii) increases in specific prices such as sugary drinks, alcoholic beverages and cigarettes in the enactment of the 2014 tax reform. The sharp decline in international oil prices helped ease inflationary pressures towards the end of the year, but overall domestic inflation has evolved at higher levels than anticipated. During 2014, the Central Bank of Chile continued to provide further monetary stimulus to weak economic activity, gradually lowering the monetary policy rate. Nevertheless, through the end of last year, higher persistence in inflation rate has forced Central Bank to reevaluate its monetary policy stance, suggesting a likely increase in monetary policy rate during 2015.

During 2015 the Chilean economy showed a significant slowdown in growth rates within the year, as a result of low levels of confidence, a messy political discussion on reforms and an external scenario characterized by high levels of volatility and significant appreciation of the dollar. During the first half of the year, economic growth was 2.4%, on a year over year comparison, while GDP growth for the second semester was significantly lower at 1.8%. Thus, full year GDP growth rate was 2.1%, with a weaker expansion of 1.8% in domestic demand.

In this context, while the unemployment rate has shown signs of resilience, with an unemployment rate of 6.3% in 2015, (against a 6,3% in 2014), additional labor market data show a deterioration in the quality, composition and degree utilization of employment.

Meanwhile, in line with the sharp depreciation of the exchange rate between the Chilean peso and the U.S. dollar, the inflation rates completed almost two years above the target range, ending 2015 with an annual inflation rate of 4.4%. In this context, the Central Bank of Chile began its process of withdrawal of monetary stimulus in October 2015, completing a second movement in December, bringing the monetary policy rate to 3.5%, maintaining the tightening bias. According to Central Bank Board, one or two additional hikes would be likely to occur during 2016.

Developments in the Colombian economy

The Colombian economy has demonstrated relatively stable growth in recent years. Despite recent international economic conditions, Colombia’s GDP increased 6.6% in 2011, 4.0% in 2012, 4.9% in 2013, 4.4% in 2014 and 4.6%3.1% in 2014.2015. According to the Statistical Department of Colombia , or DANE GDP growth has been fueled by local consumption and certain sectors such as mining and quarrying that grew 14.5% in 2011, with slower growth of 5.6%5.3% in 2012 and 4.9%5% in 2013. In 2014 this sector showed a clear deceleration with a negative raterates of 0.2%.1.1% and 0.6% for 2015, given the decline in oil prices around the globe. In contrast, the construction sector accelerated in 2013 to 12.0%11.5%, from 6.0%5.9% in 2012 and 8.2% in 2011. During 2014 the construction sector increased 9.9%.grew 10.5% and 3.9% in 2015.

Recent economic activity indicators have also posted mixed results. While Colombian industrial production has recently recovered after been stagnant over the past three years, construction and the retail sales and constructionfinancial sector have posted stronger results. In 2015 industry grew 1.2%, while the finance sector grew 4.3% followed by construction with an expansion rate of 3.9%.

Industrial production was depressed in 2012 and 2013, showing annual reductionsgrowths of 1.1%0.1% and 1.0%0.9% respectively, industrial production swung positive in 2014, and grew by 0.2%0.7% for the year ended December 31, 2014. However, industrial production continued to be weak during the early part of 2015. For2015 with quarterly negative growths and a speedy recovery during the month ended January 31, 2015, industrial production exhibited a decrease of 2.5% in comparison to the same period in 2014. However, industrial production is expected to rebound for the remainder of 2015, primarily due to depreciationlast half of the Colombian peso,year with annual quarterly growth rates for 3.2% and 4%. The rapid recovery of the sector is mainly supported in the reopening of a refinery in Cartagena, which is expected to fuel increased domestic and international demand for Colombian industrial production.reported growth rates over 15% during the last months of the year.

Additionally, the Colombian retail sector grew by 4.6%5.1% in 2014.2014 and 4.1% in 2015. In addition, local cement production rebounded strongly in the month ended December 31, 2014, experiencing a gain of 10.0%10% in comparison to the same period in 2013, and confirming the positive performance of the construction industry for the year. In the month ended January 31 of 2015, local cement production experienced an increase of 14.5% when compared to the same period in 2014. Additionally, approved housing projects showed increased by 20.8% in the year ended December 31, 2014, when compared to the year ended December 31, 2013,before, which suggests that the Colombian construction sector will remain strong in 2015. Colombian imports grew by only 3.6% in 2013 but grew by 9.2% in 2014. However, exports contracted by 1.7% during 2014, following a growth of 5.3% in 2013. The recent drop in exports is explained by lower oil exports combined with the effects of lower global oil prices. In 2015 exports decreased 33% while imports decelerated at a lower rate of 15%.

Inflation

General

In the past, Chile has experienced high levels of inflation, which has significantly affected our financial condition and results of operations during such periods. The rate of inflation in Chile spiked to 7.1% in 2008. In 2009, for the first time in 74 years, Chile experienced deflation of 1.4%, in part due to the contraction of the economy related to the global economic crisis. In 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2014,2015, the inflation rate was 4.4%, 1.5%, 3.0%, 4.6% and 4.6%4.4%, respectively. Our results of operations reflect the effect of inflation in the following ways:

 

a substantial portion of our assets and liabilities are denominated in UF. The UF is a unit of account, the peso value of which is indexed daily to reflect inflation recorded in the previous month. The net increase or decrease in the nominal peso value of our UF-denominated assets and liabilities is reflected as income or loss in our income statement, and

 

the rates of interest earned and paid on peso-denominated assets and liabilities reflect, to a certain degree, inflation and expectations regarding inflation.

Under Chilean law, banks are authorized to earn interest income on loans that are adjustable for the effects of inflation. Most banks, including CorpBanca, charge an interest rate that includes an estimate of future inflation. In addition, the peso-denominated value of our assets and liabilities that are denominated in UF fluctuate as the UF is adjusted based on inflation. In the case of assets, these fluctuations are recorded as income (for increases in the peso-denominated value) and losses (for decreases in the peso-denominated value). In the case of liabilities, these fluctuations are recorded as losses (for increases in the peso-denominated value) and income (for decreases in the peso-denominated value).

Colombia has experienced similarly high levels of inflation in the past. However, the rate of inflation in Colombia in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 20142015 was 3.7%, 2.4%, 1.9%, 3.7% and 3.7%6.8% respectively. The 12-month inflation rate for 2015 rose by 3.11%. The components that led to such level of inflation in 20142015 were educationfood (a 4.12%10.85% increase from 2013)2014), foodhousing (a 4.69%5.38% increase from 2013)2014) and housinghealth (a 3.69%5.30% increase from 2013). The 12-month core inflation rate for 2014 came to 3.3%, thereby remaining within the Central Bank of Colombia’s targeted inflation range of 2.0% to 4.0%. The price increase in regulated goods and services, such as utilities, urban transportation and gasoline was 4.8%2014).

UF-denominated Assets and Liabilities

The UF is revalued by the Chilean National Institute of StatisticsINE on a monthly basis. Every day in the period beginning the tenth day of the current month through the ninth day of the succeeding month, the nominal Chilean peso value of the UF is indexed up (or down in the event of deflation) in order to reflect each day a proportional amount of the prior calendar month’s change in the CPI. One UF was equal to Ch$22,840.75,23,309.56, Ch$23,309.5624,627.10 and Ch$24,627.1025,629.09 as of December 31, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2014,2015, respectively. The effect of any changes in the nominal Chilean peso value of our UF-denominated assets and liabilities is reflected in our results of operations as an increase (or decrease, in the event of deflation) in interest income and expense, respectively. Our net interest income is positively affected by increases in inflation to the extent that our average UF-denominated assets exceed our average UF-denominated liabilities. Conversely, our net interest income will be negatively affected by inflation in any period in which our average UF-denominated liabilities exceed our average UF-denominated assets. Our average UF-denominated assets exceeded our average UF-denominated liabilities by Ch$1,610,5771,642,003 million, Ch$1,642,0031,576,818 million and Ch$1,576,8181,810,203 million during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2014,2015, respectively. See “Item 4. Information on the Company—B. Business Overview—Principal Business Activities—Selected Statistical Information—Average Balance Sheets, Income Earned from Interest Earning Assets and Interest Paid on Interest Bearing Liabilities”.

Chilean Peso-denominated Assets and Liabilities

Interest rates prevailing in Chile are materially affected by the current rate of inflation during the period and market expectations concerning future inflation. The responsiveness to such prevailing rates of our Chilean peso-denominated interest-earning assets and interest bearing liabilities varies. See “—Interest Rates” and “—Results of Operations” below and “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Financial Risk”. We maintain a substantial amount of non-interest bearing Chilean peso-denominated demand deposits. The ratio of the average balance of such demand deposits to average interest-earning assets was 3.1%2.8%, 2.8%2.7% and 2.7%2.3% during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2014,2015, respectively. Because such deposits are not sensitive to inflation or changes in the market interest

rate environment, any decline in interest rates or the rate of inflation adversely affects our net interest margin on assets funded with such deposits and any increase in the rate of inflation increases the net interest margin on such assets. From 20122013 to 2014,2015, we increaseddecreased our percentage of foreign currency based loans in our total loan portfolio from 31.5%48.8% to 47.5%46.6%.

Interest Rates

Interest rates earned and paid on our assets and liabilities, respectively, reflect, to a certain degree, inflation, expectations regarding inflation, shifts in short-term interest rates set by the Central Bank of Chile and the Central Bank of Colombia and movements in long-term real rates.

Interest Rates in Chile

The Central Bank of Chile manages short-term interest rates based on its objectives of balancing inflation and economic growth.keeping the stability of the currency. Because our liabilities are generally re-priced to reflect interest rate changes more frequently than our interest-earning assets, changes in the rate of inflation or in the monetary policy interest rate published by the Central Bank of Chile are reflected in the interest rates we pay on our liabilities before such changes are reflected in the interest rates we earn on our assets. Therefore, when short-term interest rates fall, our net interest margin is positively impacted, but when short-term rates increase, our interest margin is negatively affected. At the same time, our net interest margin tends to be adversely affected in the short term by a decrease in inflation because generally our UF-denominated assets exceed our UF-denominated liabilities. See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Overview and Prospects—A. Operating Results—The Economy—Developments in the Chilean Economy” and “—UF-denominated Assets and Liabilities” above. An increase in long-term interest rates also has a positive effect on our net interest margin, because our interest-earning assets generally have a longer duration than our interest bearing liabilities.

In addition, because our Chilean peso-denominated liabilities have relatively short re-pricing periods, they are generally more responsive to changes in inflation or short-term rates than our UF-denominated liabilities. As a result, during periods when current inflation or expected inflation exceeds the previous month’s inflation, customers often switch funds from Chilean peso-denominated deposits to more expensive UF-denominated deposits, thereby adversely affecting our net interest margin. See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—B. Liquidity and Capital Resources—Sources of Liquidity—Financial Investments”.

Interest Rates in Colombia

The Central Bank of Colombia manages short-term interest rates based on its objectives of maintaining a low and stable inflation rate, stabilizing output around its natural levels and contributing to the preservation of financial stability.

Colombian commercial banks, finance corporations and financing companies are required to report data to the Central Bank of Colombia on a weekly basis regarding the total volume (in Colombian pesos) of certificates of deposit issued during the prior week and the average interest rates paid for certificates of deposit with maturities of 90 days. Based on such reports, the Central Bank of Colombia calculates the DTF rate, which is the main benchmark interest rate in Colombia and is published at the beginning of the following week. The DTF is the weighted average interest rate paid by commercial banks, finance corporations and financing companies for certificates of deposit with maturities of 90 days.

For the week of December 31, 2014,March 21 of 2016, the DTF rate was 4.34%6.36%. The Central Bank of Colombia also calculates the interbank rate (InteréInterés Bancario de Referencia), or “IBR,”IBR, which acts as a reference of overnight and one-month interbank loans, based on quotations submitted each business day by eight participating banks to the Central Bank of Colombia. Using a weighted average of the quotations submitted, the Central Bank of Colombia calculates the overnight IBR each business day. The one-month IBR is calculated each Tuesday. Article 884 of the Colombian Commercial Code provides for a limit on the amount of interest that may be charged in commercial transactions. The limit is 1.5 times the current banking interest rate (InteréInterés Bancario Corriente), calculated as the

average of the interest ordinarily charged by banks within a set period of time. The current banking interest rate is certified by the Colombian Superintendency of Finance.

Between 2006 and the summer of 2008, the Central Bank of Colombia increased the overnight lending rate by 400 basis points to 10% in the face of accelerated growth and a series of perceived supply shortages. The conservative monetary policy of the Central Bank of Colombia during this period, which included increases in reserve requirements, contributed to an increase in the DTF, which reached a high of 10.33% in 2008, the first double-digit DTF rate in six years.

A significant portion of our banking subsidiaries’ assets are linked to the DTF; accordingly, changes in the DTF affect our banking subsidiaries’ net interest income. The average DTF was 7.96% during 2007, and 9.69% during 2008. With the loosening of monetary policy that began in late 2008, the DTF decreased throughout 2009, reaching a low of 4.11% and an average of 6.22% during 2009, and a low of 3.39% and an average of 3.67% during 2010. As the economy recovered

and the output gap began to close, the Central Bank of Colombia increased its interest rate throughout 2011, starting in February of that year, and through to the first quarter of 2012. As the economy began to slow down more than expected, due to the intensification of the European crisis during 2012, the Central Bank of Colombia decreased the interest rate by 100 basis points during the second half of that year, lowering it to 4.25% aton December 31, 2012. Additional cuts of 100 basis points took place during the first quarter of 2013, bringing the policy rate to 3.25% aton March 31, 2013. The policy rate has remained stable through the remainder of 2013, as inflation remained subdued throughout the year, supporting a healthy and gradual recovery pace of economic activity. The policy rate remained stable throughout 2013 and from January tountil March of 2014. On average, the DTF went from of 7.96% in 2007 to 3.88% in the first quarter of 2014.

From April of 2014 through August of 2014, the Central Bank of Colombia increased the Repo Rate by an aggregate 125 bps to 4.50%. This increase was a result of accelerated growth and intended to controlled inflation. The interest rate has remained unchanged sincefrom August 2014 until August 2015, due to the uncertainty surrounding the local economy after the recent fall in global oil prices. On September 2015 the Central Bank decided to increase interest rates by 25 bps from 4.50% to 4.75%, given the record high inflation, the increase on inflation expectations, and a rapid deterioration of the current account deficit above 6% of GPD. Since inflation expectations have increased rapidly and remain above the upper bound of the inflation target of 4%, the Central Bank has increased interest rates regardless of the negative GDP gap. As of March of 2016, the Central Bank of Colombia has increased rates by 200 bps to 6.50% arguing that the internal demand has grown faster than expected.

The average DTF has slowly adjusted to the new upward trend in monetary policy moving from 4.34% in 2014 to 5.22% at the end of December 2015. However, a large portion of the adjustment was 5.34%observed during 2012, 4.24%the first months of 2016, as a response to the new liquidity conditions of the market, taking the DTF rate to 6.36% during 2013, and 4.05% during 2014.the third week of March of 2016.

Currency Exchange Rates

A material portion of our assets and liabilities is denominated in foreign currencies, principally the U.S. dollar and the Colombian peso. Our reported income is affected by changes in the value of the Chilean peso with respect to foreign currencies (principally the U.S. dollar and Colombian pesos)peso) because such assets and liabilities, as well as interest earned or paid on such assets and liabilities, and gains (losses) realized upon the sale of such assets, are converted to Chilean pesos in preparing our financial statements. The Chilean government’s economic policies and any future changes in the value of the Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. In the past, the Chilean peso has been subject to significant volatility when compared to the U.S. dollar. In 2012, the Chilean peso appreciated against the U.S. dollar by 7.7% as compared to 2011. In 2013, the Chilean peso depreciated against the U.S. dollar by 9.9% as compared to 2012. In 2014, the Chilean peso depreciated against the U.S. dollar by 15.0% as compared to 2013. In 2015 the Chilean peso depreciated against the U.S. dollar by 17.3% as compared to 2014. The exchange rate between the Chilean peso and the U.S. dollar as of December 31, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 20142015 was Ch$479.16524.61, Ch$606.75 and Ch$526.41 and Ch$605,46710.16 per US$1.00, respectively. The Chilean peso may be subject to significant fluctuations in the future.

Entering into forward exchange transactions enables us to reduce the negative impact of material gaps between the balances of our foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities. As of December 31, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2014,2015, the gap between foreign currency denominated assets and foreign currency denominated liabilities, including forward contracts, was Ch$301,285503,333 million, Ch$503,33378,883 million and Ch$ 78,883273,399 million, respectively.

Acquisition of Banco Santander Colombia

In June 2012, CorpBanca consummated the acquisition of a 91.9% interest in Banco Santander Colombia S.A (now CorpBanca Colombia), from Banco Santander, S.A., asociedad anónima bancaria organized under the laws of the Kingdom of Spain, and certain of its affiliates pursuant to the BSC Purchase Agreement for US$1.2 billion. This transaction gave CorpBanca control over CorpBanca Colombia’s 94.9% ownership stake in CorpBanca Investment Valores Colombia S.A. (now known as Helm Comisionista de Bolsa S.A.) and CorpBanca Colombia’s 94.5% ownership stake in CorpBanca Investment Trust Colombia S.A. In addition, in June 2012, CorpBanca acquired an additional 5.06% interest in CIVAL.

As a consequence of the Banco Santander Colombia Acquisition, one of the key factors to be considered when analyzing our financial condition and results of operations as of December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014 and for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014 is the consolidation of CorpBanca Colombia into our financial statements since May 29, 2012. As a result of our results of operations for periods ended December 31, 2012 and thereafter are not comparable to the respective periods prior to that date. Our consolidated results of operations for years ended December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014 are not comparable because of: (i) the consolidation of CorpBanca Colombia and CIT Colombia as a result of our acquisition of these companies in June 2012; (ii) the consolidation of CorpBanca Colombia for a full year since 2013 and the consolidation of Helm Bank as a result of the Helm Bank Acquisition in August 2013; and (iii) the consolidation of Helm Bank for a full year since 2014.

Acquisition of Helm Bank

On October 9, 2012, an affiliate of CorpGroup entered into the HB Purchase Agreement, with affiliates of Helm Corporation, to acquire up to a 100% equity interest in the common shares of Helm Bank, including its subsidiaries in Colombia, Helm Comisionista de Bolsa S.A. and Helm Fiduciaria S.A., its subsidiaries in Panama, Helm Bank (Panama) and Helm Casa de Valores S.A. (Panama) and its subsidiary in the Cayman Islands, Helm Bank S.A. (Cayman I.), with the intent to merge Helm Bank with and into CorpBanca Colombia, with CorpBanca Colombia as the surviving corporation.

On August 6, 2013, and in a first step of the transaction, CorpBanca Colombia acquired 58.89% of Helm Bank’s common shares (approximately 51.61% of the total subscribed and paid capital of Helm Bank) and, therefore, acquired control of Helm Bank and its subsidiaries, Helm Comisionista de Bolsa S.A., Helm Fiduciaria S.A., Helm Bank S.A. (Panama), Helm Casa de Valores S.A. (Panama) and Helm Bank S.A. (Cayman I.). On August 29, 2013, and in a second step of the transaction, CorpBanca Colombia acquired another 40.86% of the common shares of Helm Bank S.A., for a total of approximately 99.75% of the ordinary shares (approximately 87.42% of the total subscribed and paid capital of Helm Bank).

In order to finance the Helm Bank Acquisition, CorpBanca Colombia raised capital in an amount equal to US$1,014 million and financed the remainder of the acquisitions with its own funds. The capital increase was subscribed to by CorpBanca for approximately US$353 million, by Helm Corporation’s affiliates and other main former shareholder of Helm Bank for approximately US$473 million and by CorpGroup for approximately US$188 million.

In the end of the fourth quarter of 2013, CorpBanca Colombia initiated a public tender offer to repurchase all of the outstanding non-voting preferred shares of Helm Bank. The tender offer was completed in January 2014 and resulted in CorpBanca Colombia purchasing 568,206,073 non-voting preferred shares issued by Helm Bank, representing 99.38% of the 571,749,928 authorized and issued non-voting preferred shares of Helm Bank. As a result of the purchase through this tender offer, CorpBanca Colombia became a 99.78% owner of Helm Bank, when combined with the 4,044,135,318 common shares already owned by CorpBanca Colombia prior to the tender offer. Helm Bank was merged with and into CorpBanca Colombia on June 1, 2014.

As a consequence of the Helm Bank Acquisition, one of the key factors to be considered when analyzing our financial condition and results of operations as of December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014 is the consolidation of Helm Bank in our financial statements since August 6, 2013. As a result, our results of operations for periods ended December 31, 2013 and 2014 and thereafter are not comparable to the respective periods prior to that date.

In addition, to provide meaningful disclosure with respect to our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013, management uses, and we present, in addition to our audited results of operations for that period, certain full year 2013 financial information excluding the results of Helm Bank. Helm Bank was our subsidiary during the last five months of 2013, and this presentation is intended only to subtract from our reported results for 2013 the amounts contributed by Helm Bank. This information does not purport to represent what our results of operations would have been had we not acquired Helm Bank. Management believes that any such additional expense or revenue was not material. The following table shows our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013, the amounts contributed by Helm Bank in that period, and our reported results less amounts contributed by Helm Bank.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

General

In our filings with the SEC, we prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS. In preparing our consolidated financial statements, we use estimates and assumptions to account for certain assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and other transactions. While we review these estimates and assumptions in the ordinary course of business, the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations often require our management to make judgments regarding the effects on our financial condition and results of operations on matters that are inherently uncertain. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The following discussion describes those areas that require the most judgment or involve a higher degree of complexity in the application of the accounting policies that currently affect our financial condition and results of operations. Actual results may differ from those estimated under different variables, assumptions or conditions, and if these differences could have a material impact on our reported results of operations. Note 1 to our financial statements contains a summary of our significant accounting policies.

Allowance for Loan Losses

We have established allowances to cover probable loan losses in accordance with IFRS. The allowance for loan losses requires us to make estimates and judgments about inherently subjective matters in determining the classification of individual loans and, consequently, we regularly evaluate our allowance for loan losses by taking into consideration factors such as changes in the nature and volume of our loan portfolio, trends in forecasted portfolio credit quality and economic conditions that may affect our borrowers’ ability to pay. Increases in our allowance for loan losses are reflected as provisions for loan losses in our income statement. Loans are charged off in accordance with the guidelines as set forth by the SBIF. Write-offs are recorded as a reduction of the allowance for loan losses. See “Item 4. Information on the Company—Business Overview—Selected Statistical Information—Current Regulations Relating to Classification of Banks and Loans; Allowances for Loan Losses”.

For a further description of regulations relating to loan classification and provisioning, see “Item 4. Information on the Company—B. Business Overview—Principal Business Overview—Chilean Banking Regulation and Supervision—Current Regulations Relating to Classification of Banks and Loans; Allowances for Loan Losses”.

We consider the accounting estimates related to allowance for loan losses to be “critical accounting estimates” because (i) they are highly susceptible to change from period to period because our assumptions about the risk of loss used to classify our loans are updated for recent performance experience which may increase or decrease our risk index that is used to determine our global allowance, (ii) our specific allowances are also updated to reflect recent performance which may result in an increase or decrease in our specific allowances, (iii) it requires management to make estimates and assumptions about loan classification and the related estimated probable loss if any and (iv) any significant difference between our estimated losses (as reflected in the specific and general provisions) as of the balance sheet date and our actual losses will require us to adjust our allowance for loan losses that may result in additional provisions for loan losses in future periods which could have a significant impact on our future net income and/or financial condition. As of December 31, 2014,2015, our allowance for loan losses was Ch$137,605173,939 million (excluding allowances and impairment for interbank loans).

Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value. Fair values are based on market quotes, discounted cash flow models and option valuations, as appropriate. If market information is limited or in some instances, not available, management applies its professional judgment. Other factors that may also affect estimates are incorrect model assumptions, market dislocations and unexpected correlations. Notwithstanding the level of subjectivity in determining fair value, we believe our estimates of fair value are adequate. The use of different models or assumptions could lead to changes in our reported results.

In addition, we make loans and accept deposits in amounts denominated in foreign currencies, principally the U.S. dollar. Such assets and liabilities are translated at the applicable exchange rate at the balance sheet date.

Financial Investments

Financial investments are summarized as follows:

Trading Instruments. Instruments for trading are securities acquired for which we have the intent to generate earnings from short-term price fluctuations or through brokerage margins, or that are included in a portfolio created for such purposes. Instruments for trading are valued at their fair value according to market prices on the closing date of the balance sheet.

Investment Instruments. Investment instruments are classified into two categories: held to maturity investments and instruments available-for-sale. Held to maturity investments only include those instruments for which we have the intent and ability to hold to maturity. Investment instruments not classified as held to maturity or trading are considered to be available-for-sale. Investment instruments are recorded initially at cost. Instruments available-for-sale are valued at each subsequent period-end at their fair value. Gains or losses from changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income within line item “financial instruments available for sale”. All purchases and sales of investment instruments to be delivered within the deadline stipulated by market regulations and conventions are recognized on the trade date, which is the date on which the commitment is made to purchase or sell the asset. Other purchases or sales are treated as forwards until they are liquidated.

We enter into security repurchase agreements as a form of borrowing. The liability for the repurchase of the investment is classified as “obligations under repurchase agreements” and is carried at cost plus accrued interest.

We also enter into resale agreements as a form of investment. Under these agreements we purchase securities, which are included as assets under the caption “investments under agreements to resell” and are carried at cost plus accrued interest.

Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 20142015

Introduction

In 2015 our net income was of Ch$238.7 billion, of which 77% corresponded to Chile and 23% to Colombia, a decrease of 12.8% compared with 2014. While in 2014 was markedwe had stronger results from Colombia, during 2015 we recorded higher than expected results from Chile and lower that planned results from Colombia. The latter is explained by unfavorable exchange rate movements

between the Colombian peso and the Chilean peso and higher provisions for loan losses as a consequence of difficulties experienced by the continuing integrationColombian oil & gas industry and related sectors; while Chile’s operations had been favored by commercial customer driven results, higher net interest margin as consequence of higher UF variations and lower loan loss provisions than planned.

These extraordinary results have been achieved under lower than expected economic activity in Chile and Colombia. In particular, CorpBanca Colombia has been able to offset this more challenging economic context with the positive impact of cost savings already achieved from the completion of some of the operationsstages of the merger between CorpBanca Colombia and Helm Bank. 2014 wasIn the first full year in whichcase of Chile, the stronger results of operations of Helm Bank and its subsidiaries were consolidated into our financial statements and results of operations for a full year. As reported previously, inhave been achieved despite all the third quarter of 2013 we, through our subsidiary CorpBanca Colombia, acquired a controlling interest in Helm Bank. As highlighted in the discussion below, the consolidation of Helm into our financial results for the entire year ended December 31, 2014 was materialactivities related to our results of operation.

In 2014, we continued our focus on integrating the operations of Helm Bank and CorpBanca Colombia with a focus of realizing the revenue growth, cost synergies, and other efficiencies we expected from the acquisition of Helm Bank. On June 1, 2014, we completed the merger of Helm Bank with Banco Itaú Chile, efforts that have been taking higher momentum after the extraordinary shareholders meeting that approved the transaction in June 2015 and into CorpBanca Colombia, pursuant to which the two banks became one and CorpBanca Colombia remained as the surviving entity. Additionally, as part of our integration efforts, onSBIF’s authorization, granted in September, 1, 2014, we completed the merger of Helm Comisionista de Bolsa S.A. with and into CorpBanca Investment Valores Colombia S.A., with CorpBanca Investment Valores Colombia S.A. being the surviving company. Immediately upon consummation of the merger, CorpBanca Investment Valores Colombia S.A. assumed the Helm Comisionista de Bolsa S.A. name. As a result of our consolidation and integration between CorpBanca Colombia and Helm Bank during the year ended December 31, 2014, we experienced cost-savings and one-time expenses increases. We are incurring costs and experiencing synergies related to this consolidation released as scheduled.2015.

Net Income

Our consolidated net income as reported in our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 20142015 was Ch$238,665 million, a 12.8% or Ch$35,036 million decrease from Ch$273,701 million in 2014 which represented a 56.2% or Ch$98,462 million increase from Ch$175,239 million in 2013, which represented a 47.1% or Ch$56,086 million increase from Ch$119,153 in 2012. 2013.

The increasedecrease in our consolidated net income for the year ended December 31, 20142015 was primarily due to: (i) higher provisions for loan losses; (ii) a negative translation effect COP/Ch$ of our Colombian subsidiary; (iii) the resultsnegative impact of increased commercial activity in the markets in which we operate, including increased loan activity and other banking financial services and products such as client-driven derivatives, structured solutions and financial advisory services; (ii) the consolidation of the results of Helm Bank into our financial statements for a full year in 2014 as compared to five months in 2013; (iii) a higher than expectedlower inflation rate in Chile which resulted in increased revenues in light of the gap position between our assets and liabilities indexed to UF;on net interest margin; and (iv) the reduction in our average cost of funding as a result of lower interest rates established by the Central Bank of Chile.higher tax rates.

2015 Compared to 2014:

Our interest income was Ch$1,299,480 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, a decrease of 1.6% as compared to Ch$1,320,124 million for the year ended December 31, in 2014. The decrease in interest income was primarily the result of a negative translation effect of the COP$ in relation to the Ch$2of our Colombian subsidiary (Ch$0.2266 per 1COP$ in 2015 vs. Ch$0.2532 per 1COP$ in 2014) as well as a lower UF variation in Chile (4.1% in 2015 vs. 5.7% in 2014). Despite the negative exchange rate effects, our Colombian subsidiaries’ net interest income in its local currency under Chilean GAAP increased 13.5% from COP$1,017,818 million in 2014 to COP$1,155,333 million in 2015.

The aforementioned factors negatively impacted our net interest margin (net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets), which decreased to 3.8% in 2015 from 4.1% in 2014.

2014 Compared to 2013:

Our interest income was Ch$1,320,124 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, an increase of 31.1% as compared to Ch$1,007,106 million for the year ended December 31, in 2013. The increase in interest income was primarily the result of: (i) the consolidation of Helm Bank into our financial statements for a full year in 2014; (ii) higher UF variation of 5.65% in 2014 versus 2.05% in 2013, which resulted in increased interest income from our UF loans and our UF investment portfolio; and (iii) higher loan activity both in Chile and Colombia. The increase in our loan activities in Chile and Colombia was reflected by an increase in the average loan balance. During this period, the balance of our average loans grew by 20.8% to Ch$13,895,505 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, from Ch$11,505,946 million for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Despite the 31.1% increase in our interest income during the period, our interest expense increased by only 25.4% to Ch$689,240 for the year ended December 31, 2014, as compared to Ch$ 549,416 for the year ended December 31, 2013, reflecting improved margins on our loans. This increase was the result of: (i) the consolidation of the results of Helm Bank for a full year in 2014, and (ii) an increase in our average interest-earning liabilities, in particular in bonds and time deposits. This increase was partly offset by: (i) a decrease of 1.5% (150 basis points) in the Central Bank monetary policy interest rate in Chile; and (ii) a decrease in our cost of funding in time deposits toward historical levels.

2Consolidated financial statements for CorpBanca use the Chilean peso as functional currency. CorpBanca Colombia financial statements are translated from Colombian peso to Chilean peso for consolidation purposes, being only the exchange rate variation in its income statement accounts reflected in 2015 results. CorpBanca has decided not to hedge this translation risk effect in profits and losses as long as net income from Colombian operations is retained as primarily source of capitalization. Since we have decided to retain earnings to support future grow in Colombia, an Foreign exchange hedge for financial statement balances is not efficient as it would be if there were a cash flow coming from our Colombian subsidiary. CorpBanca’s management revaluates this strategy on an annual basis.

As a result of the above, our net interest income increased by 37.8% to Ch$630,884 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, as compared to Ch$ 457,690 million for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Net interest margin (net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets) increased from 3.6% in 2013 to 4.1% in 2014 as a result of the above-mentioned factors relating to our interest income and interest expenses.

2013 Compared to 2012:

Our interest income was Ch$1,007,106 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, an increase of 32% as compared to Ch$762,992 million for the year ended December 31, in 2012. Our interest expense increased by 8.6% to Ch$549,416 for the year ended December 31, 2013, as compared to Ch$506,116 for the year ended December 31, 2012. As a result, our net interest income increased by 78.2% to Ch$457,690 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, as compared to Ch$ 256,876 million for the year ended December 31, 2012.

The increase in interest income was the result of (i) the consolidation of CorpBanca Colombia into our financial statements for a full year, (ii) the consolidation of Helm Bank’s loan portfolio since August 6, 2013, as a result of the Helm Bank Acquisition, which accounted for 104.0% of our average total loan portfolio increase and 93.0% of our average loan portfolio increase in Colombia and (iii) lower inflation rates and their effect on results through the UF variation in 2013 compared to 2012 (2.05% versus 2.45%). Our average loans grew to Ch$11,505,946 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, from Ch$9,425,792 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase in our interest income was higher than the increase in our total average interest-earning assets due to (i) the consolidation of CorpBanca Colombia for a full year in 2013, compared with seven months in 2012 and (ii) the consolidation of Helm Bank since August 6, 2013. These benefits

were partly offset by (i) a lower variation in the UF of 2.45% vs. 2.05% in 2012 and 2013, respectively and (ii) the sale of Ch$667,065 million (US$1,267.2 million) of our loan portfolio in Chile during the second half of 2013 (equivalent to 5.5% of the average total loan portfolio).

The increase in our interest expense was the result of (i) the consolidation of Colombia for a full year in 2013, compared with seven months in 2012, (ii) the consolidation of Helm Bank since August 6, 2013 and (iii) a 38.3% increase in our average interest-earning liabilities for bonds due to the issuance of US$800 million senior unsecured notes in January 2013. This increase was partly offset by (i) the decrease in the Central Bank of Chile’s interest rate for monetary policy purposes which remained stable in 2012 at 5%, compared to 4.5% in 2013 and (ii) a decrease in the cost of funding in pesos (a 34 basis points average reduction in time deposits).

Net interest margin (net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets) increased by 50.6% as a result of the above-mentioned factors relating to our interest income and interest expenses.

2015 Compared to 2014:

Allowances for loan losses (excluding allowances for loan loss on loans and receivables to banks) increased by 26.4% to Ch$173,939 million as of December 31, 2015 compared to Ch$137,605 million as of December 31, 2014. Higher allowances for loan losses resulted primarily from difficulties experienced by the Colombian oil & gas industry and related sectors which led to higher default risk in loans exposed to these industries. Despite the increased allowances with respect to our Colombian subsidiary, our Chilean operations benefitted from lower allowances for loan losses than previously anticipated, partly offseting the increase experienced in Colombia.

2014 Compared to 2013:

Allowances for loan losses (excluding allowances for loan loss on loans and receivables to banks) increased by 9.2% to Ch$137,605 million as of December 31, 2014 compared to Ch$126,039 million as of December 31, 2013. The increase in our allowances for loan losses was primarily due to the growth in our loan portfolio, which required a corresponding increase in our allowance for loan losses. Despite this increase, our asset quality was unchanged from 2013, as allowances for loan losses as a percentage of total loans remained at 1.0% in 2014, which was the same proportion as in 2013. We believe our allowances for loan losses are adequate as of the date hereof to cover all known losses in our loan portfolio.

2013 Compared to 2012:

Allowances for loan losses (excluding allowances for loan loss on loans and receivables to banks) increased by 15% to Ch$126,039 million as of December 31, 2013 compared to Ch$109,601 million as of December 31, 2012. The increase in our allowances for loan losses was due to the consolidation of CorpBanca Colombia in 2012 and the consolidation of Helm

Bank in 2013. The decrease in our allowances for loan losses as a percentage of total loans by 9.9% to 1.0% as of December 31, 2013 when compared to 1.1% as of December 31, 2012 was due to an increase in loans as a result of the consolidation of Helm Bank in 2013. We believe our allowances for loan losses are adequate as of the date hereof to cover all known losses in our loan portfolio.

Provisions for Loan Losses

2015 Compared to 2014:

Provisions for loan losses increased by 33.4% to Ch$169,748 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to Ch$127,272 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. The increase in our provisions for loan losses is due to (i) the depreciation of the Ch$; (ii) the downgrade of some of our clients in the Corporate segment within the segment of Large, Corporate and Real Estate Companies; and (iii) higher reserves in Colombia to prevent

further deterioration in the gas and oil sector. Our current exposure to oil and gas sector is 2.1% of our consolidated loan portfolio, of which 1.5% represented Colombian exposure to such sector. Nevertheless, CorpBanca Colombia provisions in 2015 benefited from a new regulatory standard for leasing operations that allowed them to release Ch$6.2 billion in loan loss provisions that partly offset.

2014 Compared to 2013:

Provisions for loan losses increased by 24.7% to Ch$127,272 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to Ch$102,072 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The increase in our provisions for loan losses in 2014 was primarily the result of: (i) the consolidation of Helm Bank in 2014 for a full year; (ii) the growth of our loan portfolio in 2014 compared to 2013, which resulted in higher provisions.

2013 Compared to 2012:

Provisions for loan losses increased by 97.9% to Ch$102,072 million as of December 31, 2013, compared to Ch$51,575 million as of December 31, 2012 as a result of (i) an increase in Chile by Ch$23,751 million, (ii) an increase in CorpBanca Colombia by Ch$17,388 million and (iii) a provision of Ch$8,114 million for Helm Bank in 2013. The increase in our provisions for loan losses in 2013 was the result of (i) the consolidation of CorpBanca Colombia in 2013, (ii) the consolidation of Helm Bank in 2013, (iii) specific corporate loan provisions in Chile, particularly for those loans related to SMU or loans with SMU risk that totaled Ch$6,625 million and (iv) an increase in provisions in our consumer loan portfolio in Colombia.

Net Service Fee Income

2015 Compared to 2014:

Our net service fee income (including income from financial advisory services) for the year ended December 31, 2015 was Ch$152,847 million, representing a 5.4% decrease when compared to Ch$161,590 million, for the year ended December 31, 2014. Our income from service fees during the year ended December 31, 2015 decreased by 0.8% to Ch$200,401 million from Ch$202,013 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. This decrease was further negatively affected by a 17.6% increase in our expenses from service fees to Ch$47,554 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, from Ch$40,423 million for the year ended December 31, 2014.

The decrease in our net service fee income, was driven primarily by lower flat fees and insurance commissions in Colombia and the devaluation of the COP$ relative to the Chilean Peso that were partly offset by increased commercial activity of our real estate segment within the segment of Large, Corporate and Real Estate Companies the positive repricing effect of the Redbanc (interconnected network between banks through ATM) rate applied to ATMs transactions and the positive effects of the consolidation of Instacob, which we acquired on March 2015.

2014 Compared to 2013:

Our net service fee income (including income from financial advisory services) for the year ended December 31, 2014 was Ch$161,590 million, representing a 37.0% increase when compared to Ch$117,977 million, for the year ended December 31, 2013. Our income from service fees during the year ended December 31, 2014 increased by 39.5% to Ch$202,013 million from Ch$144,777 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. This increase was partially offset by a 37.6% increase in expenses from service fees to Ch$40,423 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, from Ch$26,800 million for the year ended December 31, 2013.

The increase in our net service fee income, was driven primarily by: (i) the consolidation of Helm Bank for a full year in 2014, compared to only five months in 2013; (ii) higher fees resulting from our financial advisory services and insurance brokerage business; and (iii) increased commercial activity in the markets in which we operate, including increased loan activity and other banking services and products, which resulted in increased billing and collection of fees related to such products and services. Our expenses from service fees were primarily the result of the consolidation of Helm Bank for a full year in 2014, as well as other organic growth of our expense structure.

2013 Compared to 2012:

Our net service fee income (including income from financial advisory services as described below) for the year ended December 31, 2013 was Ch$117,977 million, representing a 37.8% increase when compared to Ch$85,644 million, for the year ended December 31, 2012. Our income from service fees during the year ended December 31, 2013 increased by 37.6% to Ch$144,777 million from Ch$105,178 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. This increase was partly offset by a 37.2% increase in expenses from service fees from Ch$19,534 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 to Ch$26,800 million for the year ended December 31, 2013.

The increase in our expenses from service fees was driven by (i) the consolidation of CorpBanca Colombia for a full year in 2013, compared with seven months in 2012, (ii) the consolidation of Helm Bank since August 6, 2013, as a result of the Helm Bank Acquisition and (iii) an increase in commissions in credit card transactions to Ch$12,367 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from Ch$9,089 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase in our income from service fees was partially offset by increases in our expenses from service fees during the year ended December 31, 2013.

2015 Compared to 2014:

In the year ended December 31, 2015, trading and investment, foreign exchange gains and other net operating income increased by 6.0% to Ch$211,153 million from Ch$199,225 million in 2014. This increase was mainly the result of (i) a higher valuation of our forward and swap portfolio, driven by foreign exchange hedges, (ii) increasing commercial activity of our distribution desk both in derivatives transactions with customers and in regular loan portfolio sales, and (iii) the devaluation of the Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar over our hedge taxes in US$.

2014 Comparedcompared to 2013:

In the year ended December 31, 2014, Tradingtrading and investment, foreign exchange gains and other net operating income increased by 56.8% to Ch$199,225 million. This 56.8% increase was mainly due to an increase of 81.4% in trading and investment income (net) that was partially offset by a decrease of 3.5% in foreign exchange results and a decrease of 27.0% in our other operating income.

Trading and investment income net of foreign exchange gains (net) results benefited from (i) higher than expected inflation rate in Chile, which increased our revenues obtained from managing the gap between assets and liabilities indexed to UF. In Chile, the balance sheet of banks typically reflects more assets than liabilities indexed to UF, thereby creating a gap between those assets and liabilities. As there is a permanent UF variation increase in Chile, the managing of this gap benefits the banking industry, (ii) increased client-driven financial derivative activity, in the context of the appreciation of the U.S. Dollar against the Chilean Peso and the Colombian Peso, and (iii) the consolidation of Helm Bank for a full calendar year.

Other operating income decreased by 27.0% in 2014 compared to 2013 due to one-time revenue from the sale of 31 real estate properties in 2013.

2013 Compared to 2012:

In the year ended December 31, 2013, we recorded other net operating income of Ch$127,039 million, or a 21.7% increase from Ch$104,398 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase in other net operating income was primarily due to the sale of real estate assets, corresponding to the properties where CorpBanca’s 31 branches operate, to Sociedad Inmobiliaria Descubrimiento S.A, or SID, during the fourth quarter of 2013. The aggregate sale price of all 31 properties was UF1,811,000 (approximately US$84 million). For this transaction, we recognized total revenues of Ch$23,254 million. CorpBanca leased back from SID the same properties for a 15 year term and will continue to operate the branches located at such properties.

Net trading and investment increased by 84% to Ch$101,287 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from Ch$54,994 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, while net foreign exchange gains (losses) decreased to a loss of Ch$13,906 million during 2013 from a gain of Ch$30,696 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. This higher net result of net trading and investment activities for the year ended December 31, 2013 is due to (i) a higher valuation of the trading portfolio in Chile, given the positive movements in the swap curves observed in the last months of the year and (ii) a positive contribution of CorpBanca Colombia as a result of the increase in the valuation of the trading portfolio, partly offset by a negative effect of interest rates associated with the derivatives to cover the impact that the volatility in the exchange rate had on tax expenses related to the investment in Colombia (a loss of Ch$6,448 million in 2013).

The full year consolidation of CorpBanca Colombia and the “positive currency effect” associated with the derivatives used to cover the effect on the tax base relating to the investment in Colombia, along with the consolidation of Helm Bank, contributed to the increase in other operating income. On the other hand, the significant decrease in foreign exchange gains in Chile, due to the unfavorable market conditions in 2013, the significant volatility in the exchange rate and the long position in U.S. dollars, offset the favorable performance of the profits from financial operations.

We recognized net foreign exchange losses of Ch$13,906 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to a net foreign exchange gain of Ch$30,696 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The significant decrease in net foreign exchange gains in Chile, due to (i) the unfavorable market conditions observed in the year, (ii) the significant volatility in the exchange rate and (iii) the long position in U.S. dollars, offset almost fully the favorable performance of the profits from financial operations.

2015 Compared to 2014:

Operating expenses decreased by 5.7% to Ch$480,789 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 from Ch$509,672 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. The improvement is primarily the result of synergies already delivered in Colombia and the absence of one-time expenses related to the merger process between CorpBanca Colombia and Helm Bank.

Regarding the expenses related to the merger process with Banco Itaú Chile, in 2015 we totalled Ch$21.8 billion in pre-merger expenses compared to Ch$22.2 billion in 2014.

2014 Compared to 2013:

Operating expenses increased by 40.7% to Ch$509,672 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 from Ch$362,145 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The increase in operating expenses was the result of (i) the incorporation of Helm Bank for a full year in 2014 including one-time costs related to the merger between CorpBanca Colombia and Helm Bank, (ii) higher bonus provisions and salaries as a result of both Chilean inflation, as well as a result of collective bargaining negotiations concluded in Chile during 2014, (iii) higher insurance premiums, and (iv) higher rent expenses which resulted from the consummation in 2013 of sale-leaseback transactions relating to 31 of our formerly-owned real estate properties, and (v) advisory services and associated fees related to the pending merger between Itaú Chile and CorpBanca.

Income Taxes

20132015 Compared to 20122014:

OperatingOur income tax expenses increased by 42.8% to Ch$362,14596,677 million for the year ended December 31, 20132015 from Ch$253,64482,853 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The2014. This 16.7% increase is due to higher tax rates, both in operating expenses was primarily the resultChile and Colombia, and depreciation of the consolidation of CorpBanca Colombia for a full year andColombian Peso relative to the consolidation of Helm Bank since August 6, 2013, including an increaseChilean Peso that resulted in administration expenses by 57.3%, personnel’s salaries expenses by 36.7% and increase in depreciation and amortization by 133.7%.

CorpBanca accounted for 7.5% of the increase in consolidated operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2013, CorpBanca Colombia accounted for 47.1% of the increase and Helm Bank accounted for 45.4% of the increase. Of the operating expenses attributable tohigher tax expense from our operationsinvestment in Colombia -which despite of been made in COP$, for tax purposes is considered to be in US dollars3- this impact is offset by the year ended December 31, 2013, 8.7% were attributable to costs incurred in connection withgains on the Helm Bank Acquisition and amortization of goodwill for Helm Bank.

Income Taxesfiscal hedge as previously mentioned.

2014 Compared to 2013:2013:

Our income tax expenses increased to Ch$82,853 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 from Ch$64,491 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. This increase was mainly due to a combination of our higher income before taxes that we experienced in 2014, combined with a higher tax rate in Chile. As described below and in “Item 4—Information on the Company—B. Business Overview—Recent Regulatory Developments in Chile”, the governments of Chile and Colombia have recently adopted changes to their respective tax codes that will result in an increased marginal tax rate for us and certain of our subsidiaries.

In September 2014, Chile enacted Law 20,780, which amended the Chilean income tax system, increasing rates applicable to us, in order to increase revenue collection to finance education reform, to make the Chilean tax system more equitable, and to simplify the previously existing tax system. As described in “Item 4—Information on the Company—B. Business Overview—Recent Regulatory Developments in Chile”, one of the most important changes introduced by the Tax Reform is the creation of two separate taxation systems in the Chilean Income Tax Law: the attributed income system and the semi-integrated system. The law also provides gradual increases in the corporate income tax rate from 20% in 2013 to 21% in 2014, 22.5% in 2015, 24% in 2016, and 25% or 27% in 2018 depending on the tax system chosen by the applicable taxpayer. The impact of this rate change on deferred taxes resulted in a credit to our profit for the year ended December 31, 2014 of Ch$369 million.

Additionally, in December 2014, Colombia enacted an amendment to the Colombian tax laws through Law 1,739. Among the more important modifications introduced by the Colombian tax reform was a gradual and transitory increase in income taxes between 2015 and 2018. This modification will raise the income tax rate in Colombia from 34%, in effect for fiscal year 2014, to 39%

3For tax purposes, the Chilean IRS considers that our investment in Colombia is denominated in US dollar. As we have to translate the valuation of this investment from US dollar to Chilean peso in our book each month, the volatility of the exchange rate generates a significant impact on the net income attributable to shareholders. In order to limit that effect, the management decided to hedge it with a derivative that has to be analyzed along with income tax expenses.

in 2015, 40% in 2016, 42% in 2017 and 43% in 2018. It will return to 34% in 2019 and beyond. The impact of this rate change on deferred taxes resulted in a charge to profit for the period of Ch$890 million (credit of Ch$82 million in 2013 for the effect of the tax reform in Law 1,607 on December 26, 2012).

2013 Compared to 2012:

Our income tax expenses increased to Ch$64,491 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from Ch$22,913 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. For the year ended December 31, 2013, income before income tax increased by 68.7% compared to December 31, 2012 which, along with a higher effective tax rate due to the variation of the exchange rate and its impact in the valuation of the investment in Colombia impacted the provision of income tax.

B.LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We maintain adequate liquidity to ensure our ability to honor withdrawals of deposits, make repayments of other liabilities at maturity, extend loans and meet our own working capital requirements.

Sources of Liquidity

Our liquidity depends upon our (i) capital, (ii) reserves and (iii) financial investments, including investments in government securities and other financial institutions. To cover any liquidity shortfalls and to enhance our liquidity position, we have established lines of credit with foreign and domestic banks and also have access to Central Bank of Chile and Central Bank of Colombia borrowings. As part of our liquidity policy, we maintain at all times a diversified portfolio of cash and highly liquid assets that can be quickly monetized, including financial investments and Central Bank of Chile, Central Bank of Colombia and government securities.

While we continue to use all available sources of funding as we believe appropriate, we continue to emphasize the increase of deposits from retail customers as a source of liquidity. These deposits include checking accounts that do not bear interest and accordingly represent an inexpensive source of funding for us. In addition, to the extent that these types of deposits represent a larger percentage of our funding base, the percentage represented by time deposits is expected to decrease and, accordingly, we believe that the risks to our business of uncertainties relating to rolling over deposits will be diminished.

In 2008, we placed UF5,330,000UF 5,330,000 in 25 year subordinated bonds to be used to finance our normal business activities and improve our balance sheet structure. In 2009, we placed UF4,670,000UF 4,670,000 in 26 year subordinated bonds with the same purpose, taking advantage of favorable market conditions. On July 29, 2010, we entered into a US$167.5 million senior unsecured syndicated term loan facility with BNP Paribas, as Administrative Agent, and BNP Paribas Securities Corp., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Commerzbank Aktiengesellschaft, Standard Chartered Bank and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as lead arrangers and book-runners. The proceeds of the loan were used mainly to fund our lending activities and for general corporate purposes. On July 24, 2012, we entered into a US$199.4 million two-year senior unsecured term syndicated loan facility with Standard Chartered Bank, HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as mandated lead arrangers and book-runners. This loan was amended and restatedrestated:(a) on July 22, 2014 to increase the size of the loan to US$490 million and to extend the term of the loan by an additional fifteen months period.period; and(b) on September 23, 2015 to reflect a partial prepayment and to extend the term of the loan. Consequently, the loan, for an aggregate principal amount of up to US$ 315,000,000 shall mature on the earlier of April 14, 2017 or the date of any acceleration of maturity pursuant to the terms of the same.

On January 16, 2013, we issued US$800 million aggregate principal amount of 3.125% Senior Notes due 2018 in an SEC registered transaction. The net proceeds of this offering were used for general corporate purposes, primarily to fund lending activities. On September 22, 2014, we issued US$750 million aggregate principal amount of 3.875% Senior Notes due 2019, in accordance with

Rule 144A and Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933. The net proceeds of this offering were used for general corporate purposes, primarily to fund lending activities.

In addition, we believe that we have a distinct advantage with respect to managing our funding costs because our Colombian operations are not dependent on CorpBanca for their funding needs. Our Colombian operations manage their own funding costs in Colombian pesos, and, astherefore they are not dependant on CorpBanca for their funding needs. As of December 31, 2014,2015, we do not foresee a need to separately fund our Colombian operations with our capital, reserves or financial investments, including investments in government securities and other financial institutions. On December 31, 2013 CorpBanca Colombia entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with the IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, and the IFC Capitalization (Subordinated Debt) Fund L.P., a Delaware Limited Partnership managed by the IFC Asset Management Company (collectively, the IFC Parties), by means of which CorpBanca Colombia issued bonds for an amount of US$170,000,000.00 at a variable interest rate, maturing on March 15, 2024, and the IFC Parties subscribed and paid in full the purchase price for the bonds pursuant to the terms and conditions stated therein. In addition, on March 2, 2016 CorpBanca Colombia placed bonds in the Colombian local market totaling COP$300,000 million at a tenor of 2 years and 1 year.

On August 1, 2010, we implemented a local bond program for a maximum amount of UF150 million at any time outstanding. Under the local bond program, we are able to issue two types of bonds: (i) senior bonds, up to an aggregate amount of UF100 million, which can be divided into 28 series of senior bonds (from AB to AZ and from BA to BC), with a maturity ranging from 3 to 30 years and an interest rate of 3%, and (ii) subordinated bonds, up to an aggregate amount of UF50 million, which can be divided into 16 series (from BD to BS), with a maturity ranging from 20 to 35 years and an interest rate of 4%. For all the series of bonds that could be issued under the local bond program, the amortization of capital will be made in full at maturity. The principal owed in connection with outstanding senior and subordinated bonds is due at maturity and interest relating thereto is due bi-annually. The objective of the local bond program is to structure the future issuances of debt of CorpBanca in a way that provides for diverse alternatives of placements in order to manage efficiently its outstanding indebtedness. Under the local bond program, in 2010, we issued bonds in the Chilean market in the amount of UF18.8 million (Ch$403,364 million). In addition, on October 29, 2012 and October 31, 2012, we issued subordinated bonds in the local Chilean market in the aggregate amount of UF6.6 million (Ch$149,779 million).

In line with our goal of asset and liability management and growth, in June 2014,during 2015 we issued Ch$46,720 million and UF 3,000,000 (Ch$74,771 million)5.05 million in senior local bonds. As of December 31, 20142015 we had outstanding senior bonds in the aggregate amount of Ch$2,078,3582,215,515 million (UF 84.3986.45 million) and outstanding subordinated bonds in the aggregate amount of Ch$902,248932,278 million (UF 36.6436.38 million).

On December 1, 2015 we entered into a bilateral credit facility for an aggregate principal amount of US$50,000,000 with Bank of America, N.A. The credit agreement is subject to terms and conditions common for this type of transactions and shall mature on December 4, 2017.

As of December 31, 2014,2015, we maintained a reserve in liquid assets (mainly consisting of securities issued by the Central Bank of Chile and Treasury Bonds of Colombia’s Government) of Ch$3,042,722 2,270,160 million. In addition, as of December 31, 2014,2015, we maintained sufficient levels of cash and deposits in banks in the amount of Ch$1,169,1781,004,757 million to satisfy our wholesale short-term obligations in the amount of Ch$1,873,8021,404,312 million.

We continue to actively manage our liquidity through several committees that meet on a daily and weekly basis, as applicable. Our financial risk department also coordinates with management to forecast and manage complex liquidity scenarios.

Capital

As of December 31, 2014,2015, our shareholder’s equity was in excess of that required by Chilean regulatory requirements. According to the Chilean General Banking Law,Act, a bank must have an effective net equity of at least 8% of its risk-weighted assets, net of required reserves, and paid-in capital and reserves (basic capital) of at least 3% of its total assets, net of required reserves. For these purposes, the effective net equity of a bank is the sum of (i) a bank’s basic capital, (ii) subordinated bonds issued by a bank valued at their placement price up to 50% of its net capital base; provided that the value of the bonds shall decrease 20% for each year that lapses during the period commencing six years prior to their maturity and (iii) voluntary loan loss allowances in an amount up to 1.25% of a bank’s risk-weighted assets (if a bank has goodwill, this value would be required to be deducted from the calculation of the effective net equity). The calculation of the effective net equity does not include the capital contributions made to subsidiaries of a bank and is made on a consolidated basis rather than on an unconsolidated basis. For purposes of weighing the risk of a bank’s assets, the Chilean General Banking LawAct considers the following five different categories of assets based on the nature of the issuer, availability of funds, nature of the assets and existence of collateral securing such assets:

Weighting

Basic capital is defined as a bank’s paid-in capital and reserves and is similar to Tier 1 capital, except that it generally does not include net income for the period. However, beginning in 2008, the SBIF allowed banks to include net income for the period as basic capital, net of a 30% deduction for minimum dividends accrued.

Reserves

Under the Chilean General Banking Law,Act, a bank must have a minimum paid-in capital and reserves of UF800,000UF 800,000 (Ch$19,701.720,503.3 million or US$32.528.9 million as of December 31, 2014)2015). However, a bank may begin its operations with 50% of such amount, provided that it has a total capital ratio (defined as effective net equity as a percentage of risk weighted assets) of not less than 12%. When such bank’s paid-in capital reaches UF600,000 (Ch$14,77615,377.5 million or US$24.421.7 million as of December 31, 2014)2015) the total capital ratio required is reduced to 10%.

Unused Sources of Liquidity

As part of our liquidity policy, we maintain at all times a diversified portfolio of highly liquid assets that can be quickly monetized, including cash, financial investments and Central Bank of Chile and other government securities.

Working Capital

The majority of our funding is derived from deposits and other borrowings from the public. In the opinion of management, our working capital is sufficient for our present needs.

Liquidity Management

We seek to ensure that, even under adverse conditions,conditions; we have access to the funds necessary to cover client needs, maturing liabilities and capital requirements. Liquidity risk arises in the general funding for our financing, trading and investment activities. It includes the risk of unexpected increases in the cost of funding the portfolio of assets at appropriate maturities and rates, the risk of being unable to liquidate a position in a timely manner at a reasonable price and the risk that we will be required to repay liabilities earlier than anticipated. See “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Financial Risk” for more detailed information relating to the methods we employ in managing our liquidity.

Cash Flow

The tables below set forth information about our main sources and uses of cash. No legal or economic restrictions exist on the ability of our Chilean subsidiaries to transfer funds to us in the form of loans or cash dividends as long as these subsidiaries abide by the regulations in the Chilean Corporations Law regarding loans to related parties, and dividend payments. In addition, no legal or economic restrictions exist on the ability of our Colombian subsidiaries to transfer funds to us in the form of cash dividends. However, in the case of CorpBanca Colombia, for the following four to five years there is a possibility that shareholders may vote to capitalize such dividends in order to meet newcurrent capital adequacy requirements following Basel standards, as they did in respect of 2013 dividends, 2014 dividends and 20142015 dividends. CorpBanca Colombia may also transfer funds to CorpBanca in the form of loans, as long as they abide by the regulations in the Colombian financial law regarding loans to related parties. Colombian subsidiaries (other than CorpBanca Colombia) may not transfer funds to us in the form of loans, due to their limited corporate purpose.

Our current funding strategy is to continue to utilize all sources of funding in accordance with their cost, their availability and our general asset and liability management strategy. Our most important source of funding is our time deposits. Time deposits represented 55.6%53.8% of our average interest bearing liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2014.2015. We continue to place special emphasis on increasing deposits from retail customers, which consist primarily of checking accounts that do not bear interest and accordingly represent an inexpensive source of funding for us. Our total checking accounts and other demand liabilities increased by 14.59%12.05% as of December 31, 20142015 compared to December 31, 2013.2014. To the extent that these types of deposits represent a larger percentage of our funding base, the percentage represented by time deposits is expected to decrease and, accordingly, we believe that the materiality to our business of uncertainties relating to rolling over deposits will be diminished. We also intend to continue to broaden our customer deposit base, to emphasize core deposit funding and to fund our mortgage loans with the matched funding available through the issuance of letters of credit loans in Chile’s domestic capital markets. Management believes that broadening our deposit base by increasing the number of account holders has created a more stable funding source.

D.TREND INFORMATION

Our net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2014 increased2015 decreased to Ch$630,884620,579 million, or by 75.7%(1.6)%, when compared to the year ended December 31, 2013.2014. Generally, our net interest income is positively affected by an inflationary environment to the extent that our average UF-denominated assets exceed our average UF-denominated liabilities, while our net interest income is negatively affected by inflation in any period in which our average UF-denominated liabilities exceed our average UF-denominated assets. Currently, we have more UF-denominated assets than liabilities.

Our operating income depends significantly on our net interest income. For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2014,2015, net interest income over total operating income represented 57.5%65.1%, 65.1%63.6% and 63.6%63.0%, respectively. Changes in market interest rates may affect the interest rates earned on our interest-earning assets and the interest rates paid on our interest bearing liabilities, which may result in a further reduction in our net interest income.

Consolidation in the market, which can result in the creation of larger and stronger competitors, may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations by decreasing the net interest margins we are able to generate and increasing our costs of operation. In addition, we expect to continue to face competition from non-banking financial entities such as department stores, leasing, factoring and automobile finance companies, mutual funds, pension funds and insurance companies.

The following are the most important trends, uncertainties and events that are reasonably likely to affect us or that would cause the financial information disclosed herein not to be indicative of our future operating results or financial condition:

 

uncertainties relatingHigher levels of uncertainty related to the expectation of a possible global economic growth expectationsrecession and interest rate cycles, especially in the United States, where the high current account deficita higher than expected slowdown of the U.S. economyChinese economic activity, which may translate into an upward adjustment of risk premium and higher global interest rates;

 

In this context, the upturn in the Chilean and/or Colombian economies could be weaker than expected. Higher than expectedanticipated unemployment rates and lower economic growth could increase provision expenses and decrease our rate of loan growth in the future; and

 

uncertaintiesFinally, uncertainty relating to the passing and/or implementation of the TaxLabor Reform do not allow us to predict its effects. If enacted, these effects are unclear and cannot be calculated at this time; however, there could be an adverse impact on our results of operations.

E. OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

E.OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We are party to transactions with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of our business. These transactions expose us to credit risk in addition to amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements and include commitments to extend

credit. These commitments include contractual arrangements to which an unconsolidated entity is a party, under which CorpBanca has:

Any obligation under certain guarantee contracts;

A retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to that entity for such items as guarantees, openassets;

Any obligation under certain derivative instruments;

Any obligation under a material variable interest held by CorpBanca in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to CorpBanca, or engages in leasing, hedging or research and unused letters of credit, overdrafts and credit card lines of credit.

development services CorpBanca.

Such commitments are agreements to lend money to a customer at a future date, subject to the customer’s compliance with contractual terms. Since a substantial portion of these commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent our actual future cash requirements. The aggregate amount outstanding of these commitments was Ch$5,399,5095,582,672 million as of December 31, 2014.2015.

Contingent loans consistare those operations or commitments in which the bank assumes a credit risk upon committing itself to third parties, before the occurrence of a future event, to make a payment or disbursement that must be recovered from its clients.

The bank keeps a record of the following balances related to commitments or to liabilities of its own line of business in memorandum accounts: collateral and guarantees, granted by us in Ch$, UF andconfirmed foreign currencies (principally US$), as well as open and unused letters of credit. credit, letters of credit, bank guarantees, cleared lines of credit, other credit commitments and other contingencies.

The total amount of contingent loans held off balance sheet as of December 31, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 20142015 was Ch$2,396,064 million, Ch$2,751,929 million, Ch$3,191,435 million and Ch$3,191,4353,285,411 million, respectively. Contingent loans are considered in the calculation of risk weighted assets and capital requirements as well as for credit risk reserve requirements (seerequirements.

See Note 1 “General Information and summary of significant accounting policies” and Note 22 “Contingencies, commitments and responsibilities” to our audited consolidated financial statements included herein).herein for a better understanding and analysis of the figures held off sheet balance.

We use the same credit policies in making commitments to extend credit as we do for granting loans. In the opinion of our management, our outstanding off-balance sheet commitments do not represent an unusual credit risk.

Traditional financial instruments which meet the definition of a “derivative”, such as forwards in foreign currency, UF, interest rate futures currency and interest rate swaps, currency and interest rate options and others, are initially recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value. Fair value is obtained from market quotes, discounted cash flow models and option valuation models, as applicable. For further details of fair value, see Note 8 of our consolidated financial statements included herein.

In terms of outstanding exposure to credit risk, the true measure of risk from derivative transactions is the marked-to-market value of the contracts at a point in time (i.e., the cost to replace the contract at the current market rates should the counterparty default prior to the settlement). For most derivative transactions, the notional principal amount does not change hands; it is simply an amount that is used as a reference upon which to calculate payments.

 

F.TABULAR DISCLOSURE OF CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

In addition to the scheduled maturities of our contractual obligations which are included under “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Sources of Liquidity” above, as of December 31, 2014,2015, we also had other commercial commitments which mainly consist of open and unused letters of credit, together with guarantees granted by us in Ch$, UF and foreign currencies (principally U.S. dollars). We expect most of these commitments to expire unused.

The following table includes both the accrued interest and the interest expense projected over time of each contractual obligation as of December 31, 2014.2015. For variable rate debt and interest rate swaps and other derivatives, where applicable, the interest

rates upon which we based our contractual obligations going forward are based on the applicable forward curves. For any cross-currency swaps or other derivatives as applicable, the foreign currency exchange rate used was spot.

B.RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

GENERAL

In the ordinary course of our business, we engage in a variety of transactions with certain of our affiliates and related parties. The Chilean Corporations LawAct requires that our transactions with related parties be in our interest and also on an arm’s-length basis or on similar terms to those customarily prevailing in the market. We are required to compare the terms of any such transaction to those prevailing in the market at the date the transaction is to be entered into. In the event that the transaction is not within the ordinary course of business, prior to its effectiveness, the Directors Committeedirectors committee must prepare a report describing the conditions of the operation and present it to the Boardboard of Directorsdirectors for its express approval. Directors of companies that violate this provision are liable for the resulting losses. Under the Chilean General Banking Law,Act, transactions between a bank and its affiliates are subject to certain additional restrictions.

Under the Chilean Corporations Law,Act, a “related party transaction”, in the case of an open stock corporation, is deemed to be any operation between an open stocksuch corporation and (i) one or more related persons under Articlearticle 100 of the Securities Market Act (see below), (ii) a director, manager, administrator, principal officer or liquidator of the corporation, by him/herself or on behalf of persons other than the corporation, or their respective spouses or blood or marriage relatives to the second degree, (iii) an entity of which any of the persons indicated in the previous numeral is the direct or indirect owner of ten percent or more of its capital or a director, manager or officer, (iv) a person or entity determined as such by the by-laws of the corporation or the board committee, and (v) an entity in which a director, manager, administrator, principal officer or liquidator of the corporation, has acted in any of those capacities during the immediately previous 18 months.

Article 100 of the Securities Market Act provides that the following persons are “related” to a company: (i) the other entities of the business conglomerate to which the company belongs, (ii) parents, subsidiaries and equity-method investors and investees of the company, (iii) all directors, managers, officers and liquidators of the company and their spouses or blood relatives to the second degree, or any entity controlled, directly or indirectly, by any of the referred individuals, (iv) any person that, by him/herself or with other persons under a joint action agreement, may appoint at least one member of the management of the company or control ten percent or more of the capital or voting capital of a stock company and (v) other entities or persons determined as such by the SVS.

A publicly-traded corporation may only enter into a related transaction when its aim is to contribute to the corporate general interests, its conditions are set at arms’arm’s length and the corporation has followed the procedure indicated in the Chilean Corporations Law.Act. The procedure to approve a related transaction can be summarized as follows: (i) the directors, managers, administrators, principal officers and liquidators involved in the potential transaction must give notice thereof to the board (these persons are obligated to disclose their interest in the transaction and their reasons to justify the convenience of the transaction for the corporation, both of which must be informed to the public), (ii) the absolute majority of the board, excluding any director involved in the transaction, must approve the transaction, (iii) the approval given by the board must be informed to the next shareholders’ meeting, (iv) if the directors involved in the transaction form the majority of the board, the transaction may only be approved by the unanimity of the remaining directors or by two-thirds of the issued voting shares in the corporation in a shareholders’ meeting, and (v) where the approval of the shareholders’ meeting is required, the board will request an independent appraiser to submit to the shareholders the conclusions regarding the conditions of the transaction.

These rules are not applicable to non-material transactions in terms of amounts involved, transactions included in the ordinary course of business of the corporation, according to the policies approved by the board and transactions with another entity of which the corporation owns at least 95% of its shares or rights.

Non-compliance with these rules does not invalidate the transaction, but the persons involved will be obligated to transfer the benefit accrued thereby from the transaction to the corporation and arewill be held liable for the potential damages suffered by the corporation. These rules apply to all publicly-traded corporations and to their subsidiaries, regardless of their corporate type.

We believe that we have complied with the applicable requirements of the Chilean Corporations LawAct in all transactions with related parties and affirm that we will continue to comply with such requirements.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We were named as a defendant in shareholder litigation captionedCartica Management, LLC, et al. v. Corpbanca S.A., et al., Case No. 1:14-cv-02258-PKC, initially filed in United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on April 1, 2014, and later amended on June 12, 2014. Plaintiffs included minority shareholders who were owners of ADRs and other common shares. Other defendants included our CEO and CFO, CorpGroup, Saga and Mr. Saieh, as well as Itaú Unibanco and Itaú Chile (Itaú Chile together with Itaú Unibanco, the “Itaú Defendants”). Plaintiffs alleged that CorpBanca and other defendants violated Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, and also brought claims for common law fraud. Plaintiffs also alleged that that CorpGroup, Saga, Mr. Saieh and the Itaú Defendants violated Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, and Rules 13d-1 and 13d-5 promulgated thereunder, and that CorpGroup, Mr. Saieh, certain individual defendants and Itaú Unibanco violated Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. Plaintiffs alleged, among other

things, that defendants had intentionally misrepresented and failed to disclose material facts concerning the pending Itaú-CorpBanca Merger and the benefits CorpGroup and associated entities and individuals may have received in connection with that merger. Plaintiffs sought injunctive and declaratory relief, including an injunction to prevent the Itaú-CorpBanca Merger from proceeding, as well as unspecified consequential damages. In a Memorandum and Order dated September 25, 2014, the Court granted the defendants’ motions to dismiss the amended complaint, dismissing all claims against all defendants, and granted the directors and officers’ supplemental motion to dismiss. Judgment was entered and the case closed on September 29, 2014. On December 19, 2014, the parties filed a stipulation withdrawing the previously filed notice of appeal, concluding the litigation.

In addition, we are involved in collections proceedings initiated by us in the normal course of business and certain proceedings against us in the ordinary course of banking business as disclosed in Note 22 to our audited consolidated financial statements included herein.

We are also involved in litigation with the SBIF before theCorte de Apelaciones de Santiago(Santiago Court of Appeals). On December 30, 2015, the SBIF issued letter N° 16,191 (or Letter 16,191) whereby we were informed that as a consequence of the appointment of the former member of our board of directors, Mr. Rafael Guilisasti Gana, as member of the boards of directors of Norte Grande S.A., Sociedad de Inversiones Oro Blanco S.A. and Sociedad de Inversiones Pampa Calichera S.A., the SBIF had commenced a special review on the corporate group known as “Cascadas” in order to verify our compliance with credit limitations set forth in the Chilean General Banking Act. The SBIF concluded that all the companies of the Cascadas group are part of a “corporate organizational structure” to exercise control over SQM S.A., therefore, they should be considered a single debtor for the purposes of computing the above referenced credit limitations. As a consequence of the above, the SBIF concluded that CorpBanca violated the individual lending limits set forth in article 84 N° 1 of the Chilean General Banking Act in relation to article 85 of the same norm regarding the companies that constitute the Cascadas group. In light of the foregoing, the SBIF imposed a fine on CorpBanca of 10% of the excess of such credit limitations equal to Ch$21,764,507,494 (U.S.$30.65 million).

Our board of directors, in a special meeting held on January 4, 2016, unanimously instructed the management of the bank to exercise any and all available actions and claims in order to rescind in its entirety Letter 16,191, due to material legal grounds and the fact that in imposing the fine the SBIF violated the most basic principles of due process. Consequently, on January 18, 2016, CorpBanca filed areclamación(complaint) before the Santiago Court of Appeals against the SBIF, after having paid the full amount of the fine as this advanced payment is a mandatory requirement imposed by the Chilean law in order to file thereclamación. The complaint filed by the bank seeks that Letter 16,191 is declared null and void, together with the fine imposed thereby; the restitution of the funds paid (which are held, in the meantime, in a special account of the SBIF at Banco del Estado de Chile, which can be withdrawn only to reimburse them to CorpBanca if the Court accepts the claim, or to give the amount to the State upon dismissal of thereclamación) by CorpBanca and the complete acquittal of the bank.

Pursuant to local regulation, on March 4th, 2016, the Court gave the SBIF a term to reply to CorpBanca’s claims. Such response was filed on March 17th, 2016.

DIVIDEND POLICYGENERAL

In the ordinary course of our business, we engage in a variety of transactions with certain of our affiliates and related parties. The Chilean Corporations Act requires that our transactions with related parties be in our interest and also on an arm’s-length basis or on similar terms to those customarily prevailing in the market. We are required to compare the terms of any such transaction to those prevailing in the market at the date the transaction is to be entered into. In the event that the transaction is not within the ordinary course of business, prior to its effectiveness, the directors committee must prepare a report describing the conditions of the operation and present it to the board of directors for its express approval. Directors of companies that violate this provision are liable for the resulting losses. Under the Chilean General Banking Act, transactions between a bank and its affiliates are subject to certain additional restrictions.

Under the Chilean Corporations Law, as defined herein, ChileanAct, a “related party transaction”, in the case of an open stock companies,corporation, is any operation between such corporation and (i) one or more related persons under article 100 of the Securities Market Act (see below), (ii) a director, manager, administrator, principal officer or liquidator of the corporation, by him/herself or on behalf of persons other than the corporation, or their respective spouses or blood or marriage relatives to the second degree, (iii) an entity of which any of the persons indicated in the previous numeral is the direct or indirect owner of ten percent or more of its capital or a director, manager or officer, (iv) a person or entity determined as ours,such by the by-laws of the corporation or the board committee, and (v) an entity in which a director, manager, administrator, principal officer or liquidator of the corporation, has acted in any of those capacities during the immediately previous 18 months.

Article 100 of the Securities Market Act provides that the following persons are generally required“related” to distributea company: (i) the other entities of the business conglomerate to which the company belongs, (ii) parents, subsidiaries and equity-method investors and investees of the company, (iii) all directors, managers, officers and liquidators of the company and their spouses or blood relatives to the second degree, or any entity controlled, directly or indirectly, by any of the referred individuals, (iv) any person that, by him/herself or with other persons under a joint action agreement, may appoint at least 30%one member of their net income each year, unless otherwise agreedthe management of the company or control ten percent or more of the capital or voting capital of a stock company and (v) other entities or persons determined as such by the unanimous consentSVS.

A publicly-traded corporation may only enter into a related transaction when its aim is to contribute to the corporate general interests, its conditions are set at arm’s length and the corporation has followed the procedure indicated in the Chilean Corporations Act. The procedure to approve a related transaction can be summarized as follows: (i) the directors, managers, administrators, principal officers and liquidators involved in the potential transaction must give notice thereof to the board (these persons are obligated to disclose their interest in the transaction and their reasons to justify the convenience of our shareholders. Provided that the statutory minimum is observed, Chilean law allows atransaction for the corporation, both of which must be informed to the public), (ii) the absolute majority of the shareholdersboard, excluding any director involved in the transaction, must approve the transaction, (iii) the approval given by the board must be informed to change and approve our dividend policy for any given period. In the event of any loss of capital ornext shareholders’ meeting, (iv) if the directors involved in the transaction form the majority of the legal reserve, no dividends canboard, the transaction may only be distributed so long as such loss is not recovered from earningsapproved by the unanimity of the remaining directors or otherwise. No dividends aboveby two-thirds of the legal minimum can be distributed if doing so would resultissued voting shares in the bank exceeding its indebtedness ratio or its lending limits.

The balancecorporation in a shareholders’ meeting, and (v) where the approval of our distributable net incomethe shareholders’ meeting is generally retained for use in our business (including forrequired, the maintenance of any required legal reserves). Although our Board of Directors currently intendsboard will request an independent appraiser to pay regular annual dividends, the amount of dividend payments will depend upon, among other factors, our then current level of earnings, capital and legal reserve requirements, as well as market conditions, and there can be no assurance assubmit to the amount or timingshareholders the conclusions regarding the conditions of future dividends. Our actual dividend policy isthe transaction.

These rules are not applicable to distributenon-material transactions in terms of amounts involved, transactions included in the ordinary course of business of the corporation, according to the policies approved by the board and transactions with another entity of which the corporation owns at least 50%95% of each fiscal year net income, calculated as total net income forits shares or rights.

Non-compliance with these rules does not invalidate the period less an amount which maintains capital constant in real terms. Dividend distributions in 2012, 2013 and 2014 each amounted to 100%, 50% and 57% of net income fortransaction, but the immediately precedily fiscal year, respectively.

In the event that dividends are paid, holders of ADSspersons involved will be entitledobligated to receive dividendstransfer the benefit accrued thereby from the transaction to the same extent as the owners of common shares. Dividends received by holders of ADSs will, absent changes in Chilean exchange controls or other laws, be converted into U.S. dollars and distributed net of currency exchange expenses and fees of the depositarycorporation and will be subjectheld liable for the potential damages suffered by the corporation. These rules apply to all publicly-traded corporations and to their subsidiaries, regardless of their corporate type.

We believe that we have complied with the applicable requirements of the Chilean withholding tax, currently imposedCorporations Act in all transactions with related parties and affirm that we will continue to comply with such requirements.

As of December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015, loans to related parties totaled Ch$364,424 million, Ch$228,989 million and CCh$131,858 million, respectively, and related party receivables, other than loans, totaled Ch$27,325 million, Ch$18,157 million and CCh$16,805 million, respectively.

B.MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

Set forth below is material information concerningLEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are involved in collections proceedings initiated by us in the normal course of business and certain proceedings against us in the ordinary course of banking business as disclosed in Note 22 to our share capital andaudited consolidated financial statements included herein.

We are also involved in litigation with the SBIF before theCorte de Apelaciones de Santiago(Santiago Court of Appeals). On December 30, 2015, the SBIF issued letter N° 16,191 (or Letter 16,191) whereby we were informed that as a brief summaryconsequence of the significant provisionsappointment of the former member of our by-laws,board of directors, Mr. Rafael Guilisasti Gana, as defined below,member of the boards of directors of Norte Grande S.A., Sociedad de Inversiones Oro Blanco S.A. and Chilean law. This description contains material information concerningSociedad de Inversiones Pampa Calichera S.A., the shares, but does not purportSBIF had commenced a special review on the corporate group known as “Cascadas” in order to be complete and is qualifiedverify our compliance with credit limitations set forth in its entirety by reference to our by-laws, the Chilean General Banking Law,Act. The SBIF concluded that all the companies of the Cascadas group are part of a “corporate organizational structure” to exercise control over SQM S.A., therefore, they should be considered a single debtor for the purposes of computing the above referenced credit limitations. As a consequence of the above, the SBIF concluded that CorpBanca violated the individual lending limits set forth in article 84 N° 1 of the Chilean Corporations LawGeneral Banking Act in relation to article 85 of the same norm regarding the companies that constitute the Cascadas group. In light of the foregoing, the SBIF imposed a fine on CorpBanca of 10% of the excess of such credit limitations equal to Ch$21,764,507,494 (U.S.$30.65 million).

Our board of directors, in a special meeting held on January 4, 2016, unanimously instructed the management of the bank to exercise any and all available actions and claims in order to rescind in its entirety Letter 16,191, due to material legal grounds and the fact that in imposing the fine the SBIF violated the most basic principles of due process. Consequently, on January 18, 2016, CorpBanca filed areclamación(complaint) before the Santiago Court of Appeals against the SBIF, after having paid the full amount of the fine as this advanced payment is a mandatory requirement imposed by the Chilean Securities Market Law each referredlaw in order to below.file thereclamación. The complaint filed by the bank seeks that Letter 16,191 is declared null and void, together with the fine imposed thereby; the restitution of the funds paid (which are held, in the meantime, in a special account of the SBIF at Banco del Estado de Chile, which can be withdrawn only to reimburse them to CorpBanca if the Court accepts the claim, or to give the amount to the State upon dismissal of thereclamación) by CorpBanca and the complete acquittal of the bank.

Pursuant to local regulation, on March 4th, 2016, the Court gave the SBIF a term to reply to CorpBanca’s claims. Such response was filed on March 17th, 2016.

GENERAL

In the ordinary course of our business, we engage in a variety of transactions with certain of our affiliates and related parties. The Chilean Corporations Act requires that our transactions with related parties be in our interest and also on an arm’s-length basis or on similar terms to those customarily prevailing in the market. We are required to compare the terms of any such transaction to those prevailing in the market at the date the transaction is to be entered into. In the event that the transaction is not within the ordinary course of business, prior to its effectiveness, the directors committee must prepare a report describing the conditions of the operation and present it to the board of directors for its express approval. Directors of companies that violate this provision are liable for the resulting losses. Under the Chilean General Banking Act, transactions between a bank and its affiliates are subject to certain additional restrictions.

Under the Chilean Corporations Act, a “related party transaction”, in the case of an open stock corporation, is any operation between such corporation and (i) one or more related persons under article 100 of the Securities Market Act (see below), (ii) a director, manager, administrator, principal officer or liquidator of the corporation, by him/herself or on behalf of persons other than the corporation, or their respective spouses or blood or marriage relatives to the second degree, (iii) an entity of which any of the persons indicated in the previous numeral is the direct or indirect owner of ten percent or more of its capital or a director, manager or officer, (iv) a person or entity determined as such by the by-laws of the corporation or the board committee, and (v) an entity in which a director, manager, administrator, principal officer or liquidator of the corporation, has acted in any of those capacities during the immediately previous 18 months.

Article 100 of the Securities Market Act provides that the following persons are “related” to a company: (i) the other entities of the business conglomerate to which the company belongs, (ii) parents, subsidiaries and equity-method investors and investees of the company, (iii) all directors, managers, officers and liquidators of the company and their spouses or blood relatives to the second degree, or any entity controlled, directly or indirectly, by any of the referred individuals, (iv) any person that, by him/herself or with other persons under a joint action agreement, may appoint at least one member of the management of the company or control ten percent or more of the capital or voting capital of a stock company and (v) other entities or persons determined as such by the SVS.

A publicly-traded corporation may only enter into a related transaction when its aim is to contribute to the corporate general interests, its conditions are set at arm’s length and the corporation has followed the procedure indicated in the Chilean Corporations Act. The procedure to approve a related transaction can be summarized as follows: (i) the directors, managers, administrators, principal officers and liquidators involved in the potential transaction must give notice thereof to the board (these persons are obligated to disclose their interest in the transaction and their reasons to justify the convenience of the transaction for the corporation, both of which must be informed to the public), (ii) the absolute majority of the board, excluding any director involved in the transaction, must approve the transaction, (iii) the approval given by the board must be informed to the next shareholders’ meeting, (iv) if the directors involved in the transaction form the majority of the board, the transaction may only be approved by the unanimity of the remaining directors or by two-thirds of the issued voting shares in the corporation in a shareholders’ meeting, and (v) where the approval of the shareholders’ meeting is required, the board will request an independent appraiser to submit to the shareholders the conclusions regarding the conditions of the transaction.

These rules are not applicable to non-material transactions in terms of amounts involved, transactions included in the ordinary course of business of the corporation, according to the policies approved by the board and transactions with another entity of which the corporation owns at least 95% of its shares or rights.

Non-compliance with these rules does not invalidate the transaction, but the persons involved will be obligated to transfer the benefit accrued thereby from the transaction to the corporation and will be held liable for the potential damages suffered by the corporation. These rules apply to all publicly-traded corporations and to their subsidiaries, regardless of their corporate type.

We believe that we have complied with the applicable requirements of the Chilean Corporations Act in all transactions with related parties and affirm that we will continue to comply with such requirements.

As of December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015, loans to related parties totaled Ch$364,424 million, Ch$228,989 million and CCh$131,858 million, respectively, and related party receivables, other than loans, totaled Ch$27,325 million, Ch$18,157 million and CCh$16,805 million, respectively.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are involved in collections proceedings initiated by us in the normal course of business and certain proceedings against us in the ordinary course of banking business as disclosed in Note 22 to our audited consolidated financial statements included herein.

We are also involved in litigation with the SBIF before theCorte de Apelaciones de Santiago(Santiago Court of Appeals). On December 30, 2015, the SBIF issued letter N° 16,191 (or Letter 16,191) whereby we were informed that as a consequence of the appointment of the former member of our board of directors, Mr. Rafael Guilisasti Gana, as member of the boards of directors of Norte Grande S.A., Sociedad de Inversiones Oro Blanco S.A. and Sociedad de Inversiones Pampa Calichera S.A., the SBIF had commenced a special review on the corporate group known as “Cascadas” in order to verify our compliance with credit limitations set forth in the Chilean General Banking Act. The SBIF concluded that all the companies of the Cascadas group are part of a “corporate organizational structure” to exercise control over SQM S.A., therefore, they should be considered a single debtor for the purposes of computing the above referenced credit limitations. As a consequence of the above, the SBIF concluded that CorpBanca violated the individual lending limits set forth in article 84 N° 1 of the Chilean General Banking Act in relation to article 85 of the same norm regarding the companies that constitute the Cascadas group. In light of the foregoing, the SBIF imposed a fine on CorpBanca of 10% of the excess of such credit limitations equal to Ch$21,764,507,494 (U.S.$30.65 million).

Pursuant to local regulation, on March 4th, 2016, the Court gave the SBIF a term to reply to CorpBanca’s claims. Such response was filed on March 17th, 2016.

DIVIDEND POLICY

Under the Chilean Corporations Act, Chilean open stock companies, such as ours, are generally required to distribute at least 30% of their net income each year, unless otherwise agreed by the unanimous consent of our shareholders. In the event of any loss of capital or of the legal reserve, no dividends can be distributed so long as such loss is not recovered from earnings or otherwise. No dividends above the legal minimum can be distributed if doing so would result in the bank exceeding its indebtedness ratio or its lending limits.

At our ordinary shareholders’ meeting held on March 11, 2016, our shareholders approved a new dividend policy for 2016 providing for the distribution of the 100% of the fiscal year’s net income, calculated as total net income for the period less an amount provisioned to comply with the Optimal Minimum Regulatory Capital, as this term is defined in the Shareholders’ Agreement. See Item 10. Additional Information—C. Material Contracts, Shareholders Agreement. Although our board of directors has adopted the aformentioned dividend policy for Corpbanca, the amount of dividend payments will depend upon, among other factors, our then current level of earnings, capital and legal reserve requirements, as well as market conditions, and there can be no assurance as to the amount or timing of future dividends. Our dividend policy was to distribute at least 50% of each fiscal year net income, calculated as total net income for the period less an amount which maintains capital constant in real terms until March 11, 2016. Dividend distributions in 2013, 2014 and 2015 each amounted to 50%, 57% and 50% of net income for the immediately preceding fiscal year, respectively.

In the event that dividends are paid, holders of ADSs will be entitled to receive dividends to the same extent as the owners of common shares. Dividends received by holders of ADSs will, absent changes in Chilean exchange controls or other laws, be converted into U.S. dollars and distributed net of currency exchange expenses and fees of the depositary and will be subject to Chilean withholding tax, currently imposed at the rate of 35% (which may be subject to credits in certain cases). Owners of ADSs are not charged with any fees with respect to cash or stock dividends.

GENERAL

Shareholders rights in a Chilean bank that is also an open-stock (public)a special corporation (sociedad anónima especial) subject to the regulations of open stock corporations (sociedades anónimas abiertasor Public Companies) are governed by the corporation’sbank’s by-laws, which effectively serve the purpose of both the articles or certificate of incorporation and the by-laws of a company incorporated in the United States, by the Chilean General Banking LawAct and secondarily, to the extent not inconsistent with the latter, by the provisions of Chilean Corporations LawAct applicable to publicly traded corporationsPublic Companies except for certain provisions which are expressly excluded. Article 137 of the Chilean Corporations Law providesAct sets forth that all provisions of the Chilean Corporations LawAct take precedence over any contrary provision in a corporation’s by-laws. Both the Chilean Corporations LawAct and our by-laws provide that legal actions by shareholders against us (or our officers or directors) to enforce their rights as shareholders or by one shareholder against another in their capacity as such, are to be brought in Chile in arbitration proceedings, notwithstanding the plaintiff’s right to submit the action to the ordinary courts of Chile.

The Chilean securities markets are principally regulated by the SVS under the Chilean Securities Market LawAct and the Chilean Corporations Law.Act. In the case of banks, compliance with these laws is supervised by the SBIF. These two lawsacts provide for disclosure requirements, restrictions on insider trading and price manipulation and protection of minority investors. The Chilean Securities Market LawAct sets forth requirements relating to public offerings, stock exchanges, stock brokers and dealers, and outlines disclosure requirements for companies that issue publicly offered securities. The Chilean Corporations LawAct sets forth the rules and requirements for establishing open stock corporationsPublic Companies while eliminating government supervision of closed (closely-held) corporations. Open stock (public) corporationsPublic Companies are those that voluntarily, or are legally required to, register their shares in the Securities Registry.

CAPITALIZATION

Under Chilean law, the shareholders of a bank, acting at an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting, have the power to authorize an increase in such company’s capital with the authorization of the SBIF. When an investor subscribes for issued shares, the shares are registered in such investor’s name, even if not paid for, and the investor is treated as a shareholder for all purposes except with regard to receipt of dividends and the return of capital; provided that the shareholders may, by amending the By-laws,by-laws, also grant

the right to receive dividends or distributions of capital. An investor becomes eligible to receive dividends and returns of capital once it has paid for the shares (if it has paid for only a portion of such shares, it is entitled to receive a corresponding pro-rata portion of the dividends declared and/or returns of capital with respect to such shares unless the company’s By-lawsby-laws provide otherwise). If an investor does not pay for shares for which it has subscribed on or prior to the date agreed upon for payment, the corresponding board of directors is obligated to initiate legal action to recover outstanding amounts unless holders of two-thirds of the issued shares in an extraordinary shareholders meeting authorizes the board of directors to refrain from pursuing the collection, in which case the company’s capital will be reduced to the amount actually paid. Upon termination of the actions for collection, the board of directors shall propose to the shareholders meeting the write-off of the non-paid amount and the reduction of the capital of the company to the amount effectively paid in. Authorized shares and issued shares which have not been subscribed and paid for within the period fixed for their payment are cancelled and are no longer available for issuance by the company, unless in case of an issuance of convertible bonds or when reserved for compensation plans for employees.

Article 22 of Chilean Corporations LawAct states that the purchaser of shares of a company implicitly accepts its by-laws and any agreements adopted at shareholders’ meetings.

OWNERSHIP RESTRICTIONS

Under Article 12 of the Chilean Securities Market LawAct and the Regulations of the SBIF, shareholders of open stock corporationsPublic Companies are required to report the following to the SVS and the Chilean stock exchanges:

 

any direct or indirect acquisition or sale of shares that results in the holder’s acquiring or ceasing to own, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of an open stock corporation’sa Public Company’s share capital; and

any direct or indirect acquisition or sale of shares or options to buy or sell shares, in any amount, if made by a holder of 10% or more of an open stock corporation’sa Public Company’s capital or if made by a director, liquidator, main officer, general manager or manager of such corporation.

The foregoing requirements also apply to the acquisition or sale of securities or agreements which price or return depends or is conditioned (all or in a significant part) on changes or movements in the price of such shares. Such report shall be made the day following the execution of the transaction.

In addition, majority shareholders must state in any such report whether their purpose is to acquire control of the company or if they are making a financial investment. Any beneficial owner of ADSs representing 10% or more of our share capital is subject to these reporting requirements under Chilean law. The Chilean Securities Market Act also sets forth certain regulations on takeovers of corporations.

Under Article 54 of the Chilean Securities Market LawAct and the regulations of the SVS, persons or entities intending to acquire control, directly or indirectly, of a publicly traded company,Public Company, regardless of the acquisition vehicle or procedure, and including acquisitions made through direct subscriptions or private transactions, are also required to inform the public of such acquisition at least ten business days before the date of perfection of the acts which allow to obtain control of the company, but in any case, as soon as negotiations regarding the change of control are formalized and/or as soon as reserved information and/or documents concerning the target are delivered to the potential acquirer through a filing with the SVS, the stock exchanges and the companies controlled by and that control the target and through a notice published in two Chilean newspapers, which notice must disclose, among other information, the person or entity purchasing or selling and the price and conditions of any negotiations.

Within the same term, a written communication to such effect must be sent to the target corporation, the controlling corporation, the corporations controlled by the target corporation, the SVS, and to the Chilean stock exchanges on which the securities are listed.

In addition to the foregoing, Article 54A of the Chilean Securities Market LawAct requires that within two business days of the completion of the transactions pursuant to which a person has acquired control of a publicly traded company,Public Company, a notice shall be published in the same newspapers in which the notice referred to above was published and notices shall be sent to the same persons mentioned in the preceding paragraphs.

A beneficial owner of ADSs intending to acquire control of us is also subject to the foregoing reporting requirements.

The provisions of the aforementioned articles do not apply whenever the acquisition is being made through a tender or exchange offer.

Title XXV of the Chilean Securities Market LawAct on tender offers and the regulations of the SVS providesprovide that the following transactions shall be carried out through a tender offer:

 

an offer which allows a person to take control of a publicly traded company(sociedad anónima abierta), unless (i) the shares are being sold by a controlling shareholder of such company at a price in cash which is not substantially higher than the market price and the shares of such company are actively traded on a stock exchange, or (ii) those shares are acquired (a) through a capital increase, (b) as a consequence of a merger, (c) by inheritance, or (d) through a forced sale;
an offer which allows a person to take control of a Public Company;

 

an offer for all the outstanding shares of a publicly traded company (sociedad anónima abierta) upon acquiring two-thirds or more of its voting shares, in which case such controlling shareholder must offer to purchase the remaining shares from the investing shareholders in a tender offer, unless (i) the controlling shareholder has reached two-thirds of the voting shares through a tender offer for all of the shares of the company, or (ii) it reaches such percentage as a result of a reduction of the capital of the company by operation of law: such offer must be made at a price not lower than the price at which appraisal rights may be exercised, that is, book value if the shares of the company are not actively traded or, if the shares of the company are actively traded, the weighted average price at which the stock has been traded during the 60 stock exchange business days between the thirtieth and the ninetieth stock exchange business days immediately preceding the acquisition; and
an offer for all the outstanding shares of a Public Company upon acquiring two-thirds or more of its voting shares, in which case such controlling shareholder must offer to purchase the remaining shares from the investing shareholders in a tender offer, unless (i) the controlling shareholder has reached two-thirds of the voting shares through a tender offer for all of the shares of the company or due to any of the situations exempted, or (ii) it reaches such percentage as a result of a reduction of the capital of the company by operation of law: such offer must be made at a price not lower than the price at which appraisal rights may be exercised, that is, book value if the shares of the company are not actively traded or, if the shares of the company are actively traded, the weighted average price at which the stock has been traded during the 60 stock exchange business days between the thirtieth and the ninetieth stock exchange business days immediately preceding the acquisition; and

 

an offer for a controlling percentage of the shares of a listed operating company if such person intends to take control of the company (whether listed or not) controlling such operating company, to the extent that the operating company represents 75% or more of the consolidated net worth of the holding company.

Nevertheless, the following exceptions are applicable to all the cases described above (i) the shares are being sold by a controlling shareholder of such company at a price in cash which is not substantially higher than the market price and the shares of such company are actively traded on a stock exchange, or (ii) those shares are acquired (a) through a capital increase, (b) as a consequence of a merger, (c) by inheritance, or (d) through a forced sale.

Article 200 of the Chilean Securities Market LawAct prohibits any shareholder that has taken control of a publicly traded companyPublic Company to acquire, within the period of 12 months from the date of the transaction that permitted such shareholder to take control of the publicly traded company,Public Company, a number of shares equal to or higher than 3% of the outstanding issued shares of the target without making a tender offer at a price per share not lower than the price paid at the time of the change of control transaction. However, if the acquisition is made on a stock exchange and on a pro rata basis, the controlling shareholder may purchase a higher percentage of shares, if so permitted by the regulations of the stock exchange.

Title XV of the Chilean Securities Market LawAct sets forth the basis to determine what constitutes control of a business group and a related party while Title XXV establishes a special procedure for acquiring control of an open stock corporationa Public Company through a tender offer. The Chilean Securities Market LawAct defines control as the power of a person, or group of persons acting pursuant to a joint action agreement, to direct the majority of the votes in the shareholders meetings of the corporation, or to elect the majority of members of its board of directors, or to influence the management of the corporation significantly. Significant influence is deemed to exist in respect of the person or group of persons acting together pursuant to a joint action agreement holding, directly or indirectly, at least 25% of the voting share capital, unless:

 

another person or group of persons acting pursuant to a joint action agreement, directly or indirectly, control a stake equal to or higher than the percentage controlled by such person or group;

 

the person or group does not control, directly or indirectly, more than 40% of the voting share capital and the percentage controlled is lower than the sum of the shares held by other shareholders holding more than 5% of the voting share capital; and

 

in cases where the SVS has ruled otherwise, based on the distribution or atomization of the overall shareholding.

According to the Chilean Securities Market Law,Act, a joint action agreement is an agreement among two or more parties which, directly or indirectly, own shares in a corporation at the same time and whereby they agree to participate with the same interest in the management of the corporation or in taking control of the same. The law presumes that such an agreement exists between:

 

a principal and its agents;

 

spouses and relatives up to certain level of kindred;

 

entities within the same business group; and

 

an entity and its controller or any of its members.

Likewise, the SVS may determine that a joint action agreement exists between two or more entities considering, among others, the number of companies in which they simultaneously participate and the frequency with which they vote identically in the election of directors, appointment of managers and other resolutions passed at shareholders’ meetings.

According to Article 96 of the Chilean Securities Market Law,Act, a business group is a group of entities with such ties in their ownership, management or credit liabilities that it may be assumed that the economic and financial action of such members is directed by, or subordinated to, the joint interests of the group, or that there are common credit risks in the credits granted to, or securities issued by, them. According to the Chilean Securities Market Law,Act, the following entities are part of the same business group:

 

a company and its controlling person;

 

all the companies with a common controlling person and the common controlling person; and

 

all the entities that the SVS declare to be part of the business group due to one or more of the following reasons:

 

a substantial part of the assets of the company are involved in the business group, whether as investments in securities, equity rights, loans or guaranties;

 

the company has a significant level of indebtedness and that the business group has a material participation as a lender or guarantor;

 

when the controller is a group of entities, that the company is a member of a controlling person of the entities mentioned in the first two bullets above and there are grounds to include it in the business group based on the definitions above; and

 

the company is controlled by one or more member of the controlling group of any of the entities of the business group, when such controller is composed of more than one person and there are grounds to include the company in the business group based on the definition above.

Article 36 of the Chilean General Banking LawAct states that as a matter of public policy, no person or company may acquire, directly or indirectly, shares that alone or jointly with the shares previously owned by it, represent more than 10% of the shares of a bank without the prior authorization of the SBIF, which may not be unreasonably withheld. The prohibition also applies to beneficial owners of ADSs. In the absence of such authorization, any person or group of persons acting in concert would not be permitted to exercise voting rights with respect to the shares or ADSs acquired. In determining whether or not to issue such an authorization, the SBIF considers a number of factors enumerated in the Chilean General Banking Law,Act, including the financial stability of the purchasing party.

Article 35bis of the Chilean General Banking LawAct establishes that prior authorization of the SBIF is required for:

 

the merger of two or more banks;

 

the acquisition of all or a substantial portion (more than one third) of a bank’s assets and liabilities by another bank;

 

the control by the same person, or controlling group, of two or more banks; or

 

a substantial increase in the share ownership by a controlling shareholder of a bank in conditions whereby the acquirer or the group of banks reach a relevant participation in the market (understood as either acquiring a majority or two thirds of the bank’s shares).

Such prior authorization is required solely when the acquiring bank or the resulting group of banks would own a significant market share in loans (colocaciones), defined by the SBIF to be more than 15% of all loans in the Chilean banking system. The intended purchase, merger or expansion may be denied by the SBIF pursuant to a report from the Chilean Central Bank’s Counsel. Alternatively, a purchase, merger or expansion, when the acquiring bank or resulting group would have a market share in loans defined by the SBIF to be more than 20% of all loans in the Chilean banking system, may be conditioned on one or more of the following:

 

that the bank or banks maintain an effective net equity higher than 8% and up to 14% of their risk weighted assets;

 

that the technical reserve established in Article 65 of the Chilean General Banking LawAct be applicable when deposits exceed one and a half times the resulting bank’s effective net equity (which is the sum of (x) paid-in capital and reserves, plus (y) subordinated bonds up to 50% of letter (x) above under certain terms, plus (z) certain effective risk voluntary reserves up to 1.25% of its risk weighted assets); or

 

that the margin for interbank loans be diminished to 20% of resulting bank’s effective net equity.

If the acquiring bank or resulting group would have a market share in loans defined by the SBIF to be more than 15% but less than 20%, the authorization will be conditioned on the bank or banks maintaining an effective net equity not lower than 10% of their risk-weighted assets for the time set forth by the SBIF, which may not be less than one year. The calculation of risk-weighted assets is based on a five-category risk classification system applied to a bank’s assets that is based on the Basel Committee recommendations.

According to the Chilean General Banking LawAct a bank may not grant loans to related parties on more favorable terms than those generally offered to non-related parties. Article 84 No. 2 of the Chilean General Banking LawAct and the regulations issued byRegulations of the SBIF create the presumption, among other cases, that natural persons who are holders of shares and who beneficially own more than 1% of the shares (or 5% in the case of bank’s shares actively traded) are related to the bank and imposes certain restrictions on the amounts and terms of loans made by banks to related parties. This presumption would also apply to beneficial owners of ADSs representing more than 1% of the shares, and accordingly the limitations of Article 84 No. 2 would be applicable to such beneficial owners. Finally, according to the Regulations of the SBIF, Chilean banks that issue ADSs are required to inform the SBIF if any person, directly or indirectly, acquires ADSs representing 5% or more of the total amount of shares of capital stock issued by such bank.

Article 16bis of the Chilean General Banking LawAct provides that the individuals or legal entities which, individually or with other people, directly control a bank and who individually own more than 10% of its shares shall send to the SBIF reliable information on their financial situation in the form and within the time set forth in Resolution No. 3,156Chapter 1-3 of the SBIF.regulations of the SBIF (Recopilación Actualizada de Normas). Also, controlling shareholders must submit information regarding their financial situation pursuant to Chapter 1-17 of said regulations.

PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS AND INCREASES OF SHARE CAPITAL

The Chilean Corporations LawAct provides that whenever a Chilean company issues new shares for consideration, it must offer to its existing shareholders the right to purchase a sufficient number of shares to maintain their existing ownership percentages in the company. Pursuant to this requirement, preemptive rights in connection with any future issueissuance of shares will be offered by us to the depositary as the registered owner of the shares underlying the ADSs. However, the depositary will not be able to make such preemptive rights available to holders of ADSs unless a registration statement under the Securities Act is effective with respect to the underlying shares or an exemption from the registration requirements thereunder is available.

We intend to evaluate, at the time of any preemptive rights offering, the practicality under Chilean law and Central Bank of Chile regulations in effect at the time of making such rights available to our ADS holders, as well as the costs and potential liabilities associated with registration of such rights and the related common shares under the Securities Act, and the indirect benefits to us of thereby enabling the exercise by all or certain holders of ADSs of their preemptive rights and any other factors we consider appropriate at the time, and then to make a decision as to whether to file such registration statement. We cannot assure you that any registration statement would be filed. If we do not file a registration statement and no exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act is available, the depositary will attempt to sell such holders’ preemptive rights and distribute the proceeds thereof, after deduction of its expenses and fees, if a premium can be

recognized over the cost of such sale. In the event that the depositary is not able, or determines that it is not feasible, to sell such rights at a premium over the cost of any such sale, all or certain holders of ADSs may receive no value for such rights. The inability of all or certain holders of ADSs to exercise preemptive rights in respect of common shares underlying such ADSs could result in such holders not maintaining their percentage ownership of the common shares following such preemptive rights offering unless such holder made additional market purchases of ADSs or common shares.

Under Chilean law, preemptive rights are exercisable or freely transferable by shareholders during a period that cannot be less than 30 days following the grant of such rights. During such period (except for shares as to which preemptive rights have been waived), Chilean open stock corporationsPublic Companies are not permitted to offer any newly issued shares for sale to any third party. For an additional 30-day period thereafter, a Chilean company is not permitted to offer any unsubscribed shares for sale to third parties on terms which are more favorable than those offered to its shareholders. Thereafter, unsubscribed shares may be offered through any Chilean stock exchange without any indication of price. Unsubscribed shares that are not sold on a Chilean stock exchange can be sold to third parties only on terms no more favorable for the purchaser than those offered to shareholders.

At the extraordinary shareholders meeting held on November 6, 2012, CorpBanca’s shareholders approved a proposal by the Board of Directors to (i) cancel the common shares that were authorized pursuant to the terms agreed to at the extraordinary shareholders meeting held on April 10, 2012 but were not subscribed, and (ii) approved a capital increase in the amount of 47,000,000,000 common shares. On November 27, 2012, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of 47,000,000,000 common shares.

The common shares were sold in (i) a registered offering in the United States and elsewhere outside of Chile on January 18, 2013, (ii) a local offering in Chile on January 18, 2013 and (iii) a preferential offering period beginning on January 16, 2013 and ending on February 14, 2013. CorpBanca’s shareholders subscribed approximately 99% of the newly issued shares.

In general, Chilean law does not require a Chilean open stock corporationPublic Company to provide the level and type of information that U.S. securities laws require a reporting company to provide to its shareholders in connection with a solicitation of proxies. However, shareholders are entitled to examine the books of the company within the 15-day period before the ordinary annual meeting. Under Chilean law, a notice of a shareholders’ meeting listing matters to be addressed at the meeting must be mailed not fewer than 15 days prior to the date of such meeting, and, in cases of an ordinary annual meeting, shareholders must have available an annual report of the company’s activities which includes audited financial statements. In addition to these requirements, we regularly provide, and management currently intends to continue to provide, together with the notice of shareholders’ meeting, a proposal for the final annual dividend.

The Chilean Corporations LawAct provides that whenever shareholders representing 10% or more of the issued voting shares so request, a Chilean company’s annual report must include, in addition to the materials provided by the board of directors to shareholders, such shareholders’ comments and proposals in relation to the company’s affairs. Similarly, the Chilean Corporations LawAct provides that whenever the board of directors of an open stock corporationa Public Company convenes an ordinary meeting of the shareholders and solicits proxies for that meeting, or distributes information supporting its decisions, or other similar material, it is obligated to include as an annex to its said materials any pertinent comments and proposals that may have been made by shareholders owning 10% or more of the company’s voting shares who have requested that such comments and proposals be so included.

DIVIDEND, LIQUIDATION AND APPRAISAL RIGHTS

Under the Chilean Corporations Law,Act, Chilean companies are generally required to distribute at least 30% of their earnings as dividends.dividends, unless there is unanimous consent to the contrary. In the event of any loss of capital or of the legal reserve, no dividends can be distributed so long as such loss is not recovered. Also, no dividends of a bank can be distributed if doing so would result in the bank exceeding certain capital ratios.

Dividends that are declared but not paid by the date set for payment at the time of declaration are adjusted from the date set for payment to the date such dividends are actually paid. The right to receive a dividenddividends lapses if it is not claimed within five years from the date the dividend is payable.

We may declare a dividend in cash or in shares. When a share dividend is declared above the legal minimum (which minimum must be paid in cash), our shareholders must be given the option to elect to receive cash. Our ADS holders may, in the absence of an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an available exemption from the registration requirement thereunder, effectively be required to receive a dividend in cash.

In the event of our liquidation, the holders of fully paid shares would participate equally and ratably, in proportion to the number of paid-in shares held by them, in the assets available after payment of all creditors.

In accordance with the Chilean General Banking Law,Act, our shareholders have no appraisal rights.

APPROVAL OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Our Boardboard of Directorsdirectors is required to submit our audited financial statements to the shareholders annually for their approval at the Ordinary General Shareholders Meeting.ordinary shareholders meeting.

Thereafter, Itaú Chile will merge with and into CorpBanca, with CorpBanca as surviving entity under the name of “Itaú-CorpBanca”.

In the case of the Colombian Merger, CorpBanca Colombia shall be the surviving corporation and shall be governed by the laws of Colombia.

If, as a result of the competitive bidding procedures of the Santiago Stock Exchange, the shares of Itaú-CorpBanca sold by Itaú Unibanco or one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries are sold over the Santiago Stock Exchange to a third party at a higher price, then CorpGroup Parent and/or Company Two shall not have the right to repurchase such shares of Itaú-CorpBanca.

The entity of the Formal Exchange Market participating in the transfer shall provide certain information to the Central Bank of Chile on the next banking business day. In the event there are payments made outside Chile, the foreign investor shall provide the relevant information to the Central Bank of Chile directly or through an entity of the Formal Exchange Market within the first 10 days of the month following the date on which the payment was made.

Under Chapter XIV of the Compendium payments and remittances of funds from Chile are governed by the rules in effect at the time the payment or remittance is made. Therefore, any change made to Chilean laws and regulations after the date hereof will affect foreign investors who have acquired ADSs or shares to be converted into ADSs. There can be no assurance that further Central Bank of Chile regulations or legislative changes to the current foreign exchange control regime in Chile will not restrict or prevent foreign investors to purchase and remit abroad U.S. dollars, nor can there be any assessment to the duration or impact of such restrictions, if imposed.

This situation is different from the one governing ADSs issued by Chilean companies prior to April 19, 2001. Prior to such date, ADSs representing shares of stock of Chilean corporations were subject to Chapter XXVI of the Compendium, which addressed the issuance of ADSs by Chilean companies and foreign investment contracts entered into among the issuer of the shares, the Central Bank of Chile and the depository pursuant to Article 47 of the Central Bank Act. Chapter XXVI of the Compendium and the corresponding foreign investment contracts granted foreign investors the vested right to acquire dollars with the proceeds obtained in the sale of the underlying shares of stock, or from dividends or other distributions made in connection therewith and remit them abroad. On April 19, 2001, the Central Bank of Chile eliminated Chapter XXVI of the Compendium and made the establishment of new ADR facilities subject to the provisions of Chapter XIV of the Compendium. All foreign investment contracts executed under the provisions of Chapter XXVI of the Compendium remain in full force and effect and are governed by the provisions in effect at the time of their execution.

The foregoing is a summary of the Central Bank of Chile’s regulations with respect to the issuance of ADSs representing common shares as in force and effect as of the date hereof. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of Chapter XIV of the Compendium, a copy of which is available from CorpBanca upon request.

There can be no assurance that further Central Bank of Chile regulations or legislative changes to the current foreign exchange control regime in Chile will not restrict or prevent foreign investors from purchasing or remitting U.S. dollars, or that further restrictions applicable to foreign investors which affect their ability to remit the capital, dividends or other benefits in connection with the shares of stock will not be imposed by the Central Bank of Chile in the future, nor can there be any assessment to the duration or impact of such restrictions, if imposed.

E.TAXATION

CHILEAN TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following discussion is based on material Chilean income tax laws presently in force, including Ruling No. 324 of January 29, 1990 of the Chilean Internal Revenue Service and other applicable regulations and rulings. The discussion summarizes the material Chilean income tax consequences of an investment in the ADSs or common shares received in exchange for ADSs by an individual who is not domiciled in or a resident of Chile or a legal entity that is not organized under the laws of Chile and does not have a permanent establishment located in Chile, which we refer to as a foreign holder. For purposes of Chilean law, an individual holder is a resident of Chile if he or she has resided in Chile for more than six months in one calendar year or for a total of more than six months, whether consecutive or not, in two consecutive tax years. An individual holder is domiciled in Chile if he or she resides in Chile with the purpose of staying in Chile (such purpose to be evidenced by circumstances such as the acceptance of employment within Chile or the relocation of his or her family to Chile). This discussion is not intended as tax advice to any particular investor, which can be rendered only in light of that investor’s particular tax situation.

Under Chilean law, provisions contained in statutes such as tax rates applicable to foreign holders, the computation of taxable income for Chilean purposes and the manner in which Chilean taxes are imposed and collected may be amended only by another statute. In addition, the Chilean tax authorities issue rulings and regulations of either general or specific application interpreting the provisions of Chilean tax law. Absent a retroactive law, Chilean taxes may not be assessed retroactively against taxpayers who act in good faith relying on such rulings and regulations, but Chilean tax authorities may change said rulings and regulations prospectively. There is no general income tax treaty in force between Chile and the United States (although a treaty has been signed it has not yet been ratified by each countryUnited States’ Congress and therefore is not yet effective).

CASH DIVIDENDS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS

Cash dividends paid by us with respect to the ADSs or common shares held by a foreign holder will be subject to a 35% Chilean withholding tax, which is withheld and paid over to the Chilean tax authorities by us. We refer to this as the Chilean withholding tax. A credit against the Chilean withholding tax is available based on the level of corporate income tax, or first category tax, actually paid by us on the taxable income to which the dividend is imputed; however, this credit does not reduce the Chilean withholding tax on a one-for-one basis because it also increases the base on which the Chilean withholding tax is imposed. In addition, distribution of book income in excess of retained taxable income is subject to the Chilean withholding tax, but such distribution is not eligible for the credit. In case such withholding is determined to be excessive at the end of the year, foreign holders will have rights to file for the reimbursement of the excess withholding. Under Chilean income tax law, for purposes of determining the level of the first category tax that has been paid by us, dividends generally are assumed to have been paid out of our oldest retained taxable profits. The first category tax rate is 20%.22.5% in 2015. The foregoing tax consequences apply to cash dividends paid by us. Dividend distributions made in property (other than common shares) will be subject to the same Chilean tax rules as cash dividends.

CAPITAL GAINS

Gains realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition by a foreign holder of ADSs (or ADRs evidencing ADSs) will not be subject to Chilean taxation, provided that such disposition occurs outside Chile (confirmed by the Chilean IRS in ruling No. 1,307 of 2013). The deposit and withdrawal of common shares in exchange for ADRs will not be subject to any Chilean taxes.

Gains recognized on a sale or exchange of common shares received in exchange for ADSs (as distinguished from sales or exchanges of ADSs representing such common shares) by a foreign holder until December 31, 2016 will be subject to both the first category tax and the Chilean withholding tax (the former being creditable against the latter) if (1) the foreign holder has held such common shares for less than one year since exchanging ADSs for the common shares, (2) the foreign holder acquired and disposed of the common shares in the ordinary course of its business or as a regular trader of stock, or (3) the sale is made to a company in which the foreign holder holds an interest (10% or more of the shares in the case of open stock corporations)Public Companies). A 35% withholding tax is imposed on the amount of the gains obtained on the sale or exchange of common shares received in exchange for ADSs, less a Chilean credit tax (as a consequence of the Tax Reform, this special single tax system will not be available from 2017 and from that year the general regime will apply).tax. In all other cases, gain on the disposition of common shares will be subject only to the first category tax levied as a sole tax. However, in these latter cases, if it is impossible to determine the taxable capital gain, a 5% withholding will be imposed on the total amount to be remitted abroad without any deductions as a provisional payment of the total tax due.

From January 1, 2017 onwards, any gain obtained on the sale or exchange of common shares received in exchange for ADSs by a foreign holder will be subject to the Chilean withholding tax with a rate of 35%, which must be withheld by the purchaser. However, if it is impossible to determine the taxable capital gain, a 10% withholding will be imposed on the total amount to be remitted abroad without any deductions as a provisional payment of the total tax due.

The tax basis of common shares received in exchange for ADSs will be the acquisition value of such shares. The valuation procedure set forth in the deposit agreement, which values common shares that are being exchanged at the highest price at which they trade on the Santiago Stock Exchange on the date of the exchange, generally will determine the acquisition value for this purpose. Consequently, the conversion of ADSs into common shares and sale of such common shares for the value established under the deposit agreement will not generate a capital gain subject to taxation in Chile to the extent that the sale price is equal to the acquisition value at the time of redemption as discussed above. In the event the sale price exceeds the acquisition value of such shares determined as explained above, such capital gain will be subject to first category tax and the Chilean withholding tax as discussed above.

The distribution and exercise of preemptive rights relating to the common shares will not be subject to Chilean taxation. Amounts received in exchange for the shares or assignment of preemptive rights relating to the shares will be subject to both the first category tax and the Chilean withholding tax (the former being creditable against the latter to the extent described above).

Exempt capital gains - Article 107 of the Chilean Income Tax Law

According to Article 107 of the Chilean Income Tax Law, the sale and disposition of shares of Chilean public corporations which are significantly traded on a Chilean stock exchange is not levied by any Chilean tax on capital gains if the sale or disposition was made:

 

on a local stock exchange authorized by the SVS or in a tender offer process according to Title XXV of the Chilean Securities Market Law,Act, so long as the shares (1) were purchased on a public stock exchange or in a tender offer process pursuant to Title XXV of the Chilean Securities Market Law,Act, (2) are newly issued shares issued in a capital increase or incorporation of the corporation, (3) were acquired as a result of the exchange of convertible securities, or (4) were a contribution or redemption of securities in accordance with Article 109 of the Chilean Income Tax Law. In this case, gains exempted from Chilean taxes shall be calculated using the criteria set forth in the Chilean Income Tax Law; or

 

within 90 days after the shares would have ceased to be significantly traded on the stock exchange. In such case, the gains exempted from Chilean taxes on capital gains will be up to the average price per share of the last 90 days in which the shares were significantly traded on the stock exchange. Any gains above the average price will be taxable capital gains.

For purpose of the bullets above, shares are considered to be significantly traded on a Chilean stock exchange when they (1) are registered in the securities registry, (2) are registered in a Chilean Stock Exchange; and (3) have an adjusted presence equal to or above 25% or have a “Market Maker” according to the SVS Ruling No 327 dated January 17, 2007.2012. Currently, our shares are considered to be significantly traded on a Chilean stock exchange.

OTHER CHILEAN TAXES

No Chilean inheritance, gift or succession taxes apply to the transfer or disposition of the ADSs by a foreign holder but such taxes generally will apply to the transfer at death or by a gift of common shares by a foreign holder. No Chilean stamp, issue, registration or similar taxes or duties apply to foreign holders of ADSs or common shares.

WITHHOLDING TAX CERTIFICATES

Upon request, we will provide to foreign holders appropriate documentation evidencing the payment of the Chilean withholding tax.

U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

This section is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable to the acquisition, ownership and disposition by a U.S. holder (as defined below) of ADSs or common shares. This summary applies to you only if you are a U.S. holder and you hold your ADSs or common shares as capital assets (generally, property held for investment) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This summary is not a comprehensive description of all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to a decision to purchase, hold or dispose of our ADSs or common shares.

This section does not apply to you if you are a U.S. holder subject to special rules, including for example:

 

a dealer in securities;

 

a trader in securities that elects to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for securities holdings;

 

a regulated investment company;

 

a real estate investment trust;

 

a tax-exempt organization;

 

a bank or other financial institution;

 

a life insurance company;

 

a partnership (or other entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) or a partner or owner therein;

 

a person liable for alternative minimum tax;

 

a person that actually or constructively owns 10% or more of the bank’s shares;

 

a person that holds ADSs or common shares as part of a straddle, a hedging, conversion or constructive sale transaction; or

 

a person whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.

This section is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, its legislative history, existing and proposed regulations,U.S. Treasury Regulations, published rulings, and court decisions, all as of the date of this Annual Report. These laws are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis, and subject to differing interpretations. This summary does not address any U.S. state or local or non-U.S. tax considerations or any U.S. federal estate, gift or alternative minimum tax considerations.

On February 4, 2010, a comprehensive income tax treaty between the United States and Chile was signed, however such treaty has not yet been ratified by each country and therefore is not yet effective. It is unclear at this time when such treaty will be ratified by both countries. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the ongoing status of this treaty and, if ratified, the impact such treaty would have on the consequences described in this Annual Report.annual report.

As used herein, the term “U.S. holder” means a beneficial owner of ADSs or common shares who is:

 

an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States,

 

a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia,

 

an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source, or

 

a trust if such trust validly elects to be treated as a United States person (as defined under the Code) for U.S. federal income tax purposes or if (1) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over its administration, and (2) one or more United States persons have the authority to control all of the substantial decisions of such trust.

If a partnership (or other entity treated as such for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds the ADSs or common shares, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner, member or owner of such entity will generally depend on the status of the partner, member or owner and the tax treatment of such entity. A partner, member or owner in an entity holding the ADSs or common shares should consult its tax advisor with regard to the U.S. federal income tax treatment of its investment in the ADSs or common shares.

Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors as to the particular tax considerations applicable to them relating to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our ADSs or common shares, including the applicability of U.S. federal, state and local tax laws and non-U.S. tax laws.

OWNERSHIP OF ADSs

In general

The discussion below assumes that the representations contained in the deposit agreement are true and that the obligations in the relevant deposit agreement and any related agreement will be performed in accordance with the terms.terms set forth therein. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, if you are a holder of ADSs, you generally will be treated as the owner of our common shares

represented by such ADSs. Accordingly, deposits or withdrawals of common shares for ADSs will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax. The U.S. Treasury Department has expressed concern that depositaries for ADRs,depositary receipts, or other intermediaries between the holders of shares of an issuer and the issuer, may be taking actions that are inconsistent with the claiming of U.S. foreign tax credits by U.S. holders of such receipts or shares. These actions would also be inconsistent with claiming the reduced rate for “qualified dividend income” described below. Accordingly, the analysis regarding the availability of a U.S. foreign tax credit for Chilean withholding taxes and sourcing rules described below and availability of the reduced rate for qualified dividend income could be affected by future actions that may be taken by the U.S. Treasury Department.

Taxation of distributions

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, if you are a U.S. holder, the gross amount of any distribution of cash or property (including the net amount of Chilean taxes withheld, if any, on the distribution, after taking into account the credit for first category tax, as discussed above under “—Chilean Tax Considerations—Cash Dividends and Other Distributions”), paid by the bank out of its current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) will be includable in gross income as ordinary dividend income. You must include the net amount of Chilean tax withheld, if any, from such distribution in gross income even though you do not in fact receive it. The dividend is taxable to you when you, in the case of common shares, or the depositary, in the case of ADSs, receive the dividend, actually or constructively. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will be treated as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of your basis in the ADSs or common shares and thereafter as either long-term or short-term capital gain, depending on whether you have held our ADSs or common shares for more than one year at the time of the distribution. The bank does not currently maintain, and does not intend to maintain, calculations of our earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles. Consequently, a U.S. investorholder should treat the entire amount of any distribution received as a dividend. As used below, the term “dividend” means a distribution that constitutes a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

If you are a non-corporate U.S. holder, dividends paid to you may constitute qualified dividend income and be taxable to you at a reduced rate provided that (1) certain holding period requirements are met, (2) the ADSs or common shares are considered to be readily tradable on an “established securities” marketsecurities market” in the United States, and (3) the bank is not a PFIC. Under U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, authority, ADSs are considered for purposes of clause (2) above to be readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States because they are listed on the NYSE. Based on existing guidance, it is not entirely clear whether dividends received with respect to the common shares will be treated as qualified dividend income because the common shares are not themselves listed on a U.S. exchange. Moreover, as discussed below, under “—Passive Foreign Investment Company rules”, we believe that we will not be treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to our 20142015 and current taxable year, and based on our current expectations regarding the value and nature of our assets, the sources and nature of our income, relevant market and shareholder data and our current business plans, we do not anticipate becoming a PFIC in the future. However, there can be no assurance in this regard because the PFIC determination is made annually and is based on the portion of our assets (including goodwill) and income that is characterized as passive under the PFIC rules and our continued qualification for an exception to the PFIC rules for certain foreign banks. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the availability of the reduced rate for dividends paid with respect to our ADSs or common shares. Dividends paid by us generally will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction available to certain U.S. corporations.

The amount of the dividend distribution that you must include in your income as a U.S. holder will be the U.S. dollar value of the Chilean peso payments made, determined at the spot Chilean peso/U.S. dollar rate on the date the dividend distribution is actually or constructively received by you or the depositary, regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into U.S. dollars at that time. If the dividend is converted to U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. holder generally will not recognize a foreign currency gain or loss. However, if the U.S. holder converts the Chilean pesos into U.S. dollars on a later date, the U.S. holder must include in income any gain or loss resulting from any exchange rate fluctuations. The gain or loss will be equal to the difference between (1) the U.S. dollar value of the amount included in income when the dividend was received, and (2) the amount received on the conversion of the Chilean pesos into U.S. dollars. Generally, any gain or loss resulting from currency exchange fluctuations during the period from the date you include the dividend payment in income to the date you convert the payment into U.S. dollars will be treated as ordinary income or loss and will not be eligible for the reduced tax rate applicable to qualified dividend income. The gain or loss generally will be income or loss from sources within the United States for foreign tax credit limitation purposes. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences to them if the bank pays dividends in Chilean pesos or any other non-U.S. currency. The amount of any distribution of property other than cash will be the fair market value of such property on the date of distribution.

Subject to certain limitations (including minimum holding period requirements), the net amount of Chilean income tax withheld and paid over to the Chilean taxing authorities (after taking into account the credit for first category tax, when available) will generally be creditable or deductible against your U.S. federal income tax liability. However, if the amount of Chilean withholding tax

initially withheld from a dividend is determined under applicable Chilean law to be excessive (as described above under “—Chilean Tax Considerations—Cash Dividends and Other Distributions”), the excess tax may not be creditable. Special rules apply in determining the foreign tax credit limitation with respect to dividends received by individuals that are subject to the reduced tax rate for qualified dividends. Dividends will be treated as income from sources outside the United States and generally be categorized as “passive category income” for most U.S. holders for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. A U.S. holder that does not elect to claim a credit for any foreign income taxes paid during the taxable year may instead claim a deduction in respect of such foreign income taxes, provided that the U.S. holder elects to deduct (rather than credit) all foreign income taxes paid or accrued during the taxable year. This discussion does not address special rules that apply to U.S. holders who, for purposes of determining the amount of the foreign tax credit, take foreign income taxes into account when accrued. The rules governing foreign tax credits are complex and a U.S. holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the availability of foreign tax credits under its particular circumstances.

Taxation of dispositions

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, if you are a U.S. holder and you sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of your ADSs or common shares in a taxable disposition, you will recognize capital gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes equal to the difference between the U.S. dollar value of the amount that you realize and your tax basis, determined in U.S. dollars, in your ADSs or common shares. Any such gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if your ADSs or common shares have been held for more than one year. Certain non-corporate U.S. holders (including individuals) may be eligible for preferential rates of U.S. federal income tax in respect of long-term capital gains. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

If you are a U.S. holder of our ADSs or common shares, the initial tax basis of your ADSs or common shares will be the U.S. dollar purchase price or, if purchased in Chilean pesos, the U.S. dollar value of the Chilean peso-denominated purchase price determined on the date of purchase. If the common shares are treated as being traded on an “established securities market,” a cash basis U.S. holder, or, if it elects, an accrual basis U.S. holder, will determine the U.S. dollar value

of the cost of such common shares by translating the amount paid at the spot rate of exchange on the settlement date of the purchase. If you convert U.S. dollars to Chilean pesos and immediately use the currency to purchase common shares, such conversion generally will not result in taxable gain or loss to you.

The amount realized generally will be equal to the amount of cash or the fair market value of any other property received. With respect to the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our common shares, if the payment received is in Chilean pesos, the amount realized generally will be the U.S. dollar value of the payment received determined on (1) the date of receipt of payment in the case of a cash basis U.S. holder, and (2) the date of disposition in the case of an accrual basis U.S. holder. If our common shares are treated as being traded on an “established securities market,” a cash basis U.S. holder, or, if it elects, an accrual basis U.S. holder, will determine the U.S. dollar value of the amount realized by translating the amount received at the spot rate of exchange on the settlement date of the sale.

If a Chilean income tax is withheld on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our ADSs or common shares, the amount realized by a U.S. holder will include the gross amount of the proceeds of that sale, exchange or other taxable disposition before deduction of the Chilean income tax. Capital gain or loss, if any, realized by a U.S. holder on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of ADSs or common shares generally will be treated as U.S. source gain or loss for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. Consequently, in the case of a gain from the disposition of a common share that is subject to Chilean income tax, the U.S. holder may not be able to benefit from the foreign tax credit for that Chilean income tax (i.e., because the gain from the disposition would be U.S. source), unless the U.S. holder can apply the credit against U.S. federal income tax payable on other income from foreign sources. Alternatively, the U.S. holder may take a deduction for the Chilean income tax, provided that the U.S. holder elects to deduct all foreign taxes paid or accrued forduring the taxable year. The rules governing foreign tax credits are complex and a U.S. holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the availability of foreign tax credits under its particular circumstances.

Passive Foreign Investment Company rules

Based upon our current estimates, expectations and projections of the value and classification of our assets and the sources and nature of our income, we believe that the bank’s ADSs and common shares should not be treated as stock of a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for 2014,2015, our current taxable year or in the foreseeable future, including after the anticipated combination of the bank and Itaú Chile following the Itaú-CorpBanca Merger (which is expected to be consummated in 2016), but this conclusion is a factual determination that is made annually and there can be no assurance that we will not be considered a PFIC for the current taxable year or any subsequent taxable year. Our actual PFIC status for our current taxable year ending December 31, 20152016 will not be determinable until after the close of our currentsuch taxable year ending December 31, 2015 and, accordingly, there is no guarantee that we will not be a PFIC for 2015.2016.

In general, if you are a U.S. holder, the bank will be a PFIC with respect to you if for any taxable year in which you held the bank’s ADSs or common shares:

 

at least 75% of the bank’s gross income for the taxable year is “passive income”; or

 

at least 50% of the value, determined on the basis of a quarterly average, of the bank’s assets is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income.

Passive income for this purpose generally includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents, annuities and gains from assets that produce passive income. We will be treated as owning our proportionate share of the assets and earnings and our proportionate share of the income of any other corporation in which we own, directly or indirectly, at least 25% by value of the stock of another corporation. If we are a PFIC for any year during which you hold our ADSs or common shares, you will generally be required to treat our ADSs or common shares as stock in a PFIC for all succeeding years during which you hold our ADSs or common shares, even if the bank does not otherwise meet the PFIC tests for any such succeeding year.

We are unable to determine with certainty that we are not a PFIC because the application of the PFIC rules to banks is unclear under present U.S. federal income tax law. Banks generally derive a substantial part of their income from assets that are interest bearing or that otherwise could be considered passive under the PFIC rules. The IRS has issued a notice and has proposed regulations, which together describe what is referred to as the “active bank exception.” For purposes of the PFIC test, the active bank exception that excludeexcludes from passive income any income derived in the active conduct of a banking business by a qualifying foreign bank. The IRS notice and proposed regulations each have different requirements for qualifying as a foreign bank and for determining the banking income that may be excluded from passive income under the active bank exception. Moreover, the proposed regulations have been outstanding since 1994 and will not be effective unless finalized.

We believe that we should qualify as an active bank under boththe requirements of the notice and the proposed regulations, assuming that the proposed regulations are finalized in their current form. Accordingly, based on our present regulatory status under Chilean law, the present nature of our activities and the present composition of our assets and sources of income, we do not

believe we were a PFIC for the taxable year ending December 31, 20142015 (the latest period for which the determination can be made) and we also do not expect to be a PFIC for the current taxable year or for any future taxable years. However, if the Itaú-CorpBanca Merger is successfully consummated, whether we qualify as an active bank and whether we are a PFIC for the taxable year including such consummation and any subsequent taxable year will depend on the activities of the combined bank and, in part, on the composition of assets currently owned by Itaú Chile and the types of income that these assets generate in future taxable years. As a result, although we expect to qualify as an active bank and we do not expect to be a PFIC for the taxable year of the consummation of the Itaú-CorpBanca Merger and in subsequent taxable years, at this time there can be no assurance that this will be the casecase.

In addition, because a PFIC determination is a factual determination that must be made following the close of each taxable year and is based on, among other things, the market value of our assets and shares, and because the proposed regulations (although proposed to be retroactive in application) are not currently in force, our PFIC status may change and there can be no assurance that we will not be considered a PFIC for the current taxable year or any subsequent taxable year. If the bank is treated as a PFIC for any year in which you hold ADSs or common shares, and you are a U.S. holder that did not make a mark-to-market election, as described below, you will be subject to special rules with respect to:

 

any gain you realize on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition (including certain pledges) of your ADSs or common shares; and

 

any “excess distribution” that the bank makes to you (generally, any distributions to you during a single taxable year that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received by you in respect of the ADSs or common shares during the three preceding taxable years or, if shorter, your holding period for the ADSs or common shares).

Under these rules:

 

the gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over your holding period for the ADSs or common shares;

 

the amount allocated to the taxable year in which you realized the gain or excess distribution will be taxed as ordinary income;

 

the amount allocated to each prior year, with certain exceptions, will be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for that year; and

 

the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed in respect of the tax attributable to each such year.

The tax liability for amounts allocated to years prior to the year of disposition or “excess distribution” cannot be offset by any net operating losses for such years, and gains (but not losses) realized on the sale of the ADSs or common shares cannot be treated as capital, even if you hold the ADSs or ordinary shares as capital assets. If we were a PFIC, certain subsidiaries and other entities in which we have a direct or indirect interest may also be PFICs, or Lower-tier PFICs. Under attribution rules, U.S. holders would be deemed to own their proportionate shares of Lower-tier PFICs and would be subject to U.S. federal income tax according to the rules described above on (1) certain distributions by a Lower-tier PFIC and (2) certain dispositions of shares of a Lower-tier PFIC, in each case as if the U.S. holder held such shares directly, even though such U.S. holder had not received the proceeds of those distributions or dispositions.

Alternatively, a U.S. holder of “marketable stock” (as defined below) may make a mark-to-market election. If you make this election, you will not be subject to the PFIC rules described above. Instead, in general, you will include as ordinary income each year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of your ADSs or common shares at the end of the taxable year over your adjusted basis in your ADSs or common shares. These amounts of ordinary income will not be eligible for the reduced tax rates applicable to qualified dividend income or long-term capital gains. You will also be allowed to take an ordinary loss in respect of both (1) the excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of your ADSs or common shares over their fair market value at the end of the taxable year and (2) any loss realized on the actual sale or disposition of the ADSs or common shares, but in each case only to the extent of the net amount of previously included income as a result of the mark-to-market election. Any loss on an actual sale of your ADSs or common shares would be a capital loss to the extent it exceeds any previously included mark-to-market income not offset by previous ordinary deductions. Your basis in the ADSs or common shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts.

The mark-to-market election is available only for “marketable stock,” which is stock that is regularly traded in other thande minimis quantities on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter on a qualified exchange, including the NYSE, or other market, as defined in applicable regulations. The ADSs are listed on the NYSE, and we expect, although no assurance can be given, that they will be regularly traded on the NYSE. It is unclear whether the common shares will be treated as “marketable stock” for purpose of the mark-to-market rules. In addition, the mark-to-market election generally would not be effective for any Lower-tier PFICs. You are urged to consult your own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences that would arise if we are treated as a PFIC while you hold ADSs or common shares.

Notwithstanding any election you make with regard to the ADSs or common shares, dividends that you receive from us will not constitute qualified dividend income to you, and therefore are not eligible for the reduced tax rate described above, if the bank is a PFIC either in the taxable year of the distribution or any preceding taxable year during which you held our ADSs or common shares. Instead, you must include the gross amount of any such dividend paid by us out of the bank’s accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) in your gross income, and these amounts will be subject to tax at rates applicable to ordinary income.

If you directly (and, in some cases, indirectly) own ADSs or common shares that are treated as PFIC shares with respect to you during a taxable year, you will be required to file an annual report on IRS Form 8621 for such taxable year.

In addition, if we are a PFIC, we do not intend to prepare or provide you with the information necessary to make a “qualified electing fund” election, which, like the mark-to-market election, is a means by which U.S. taxpayers may elect out of the tax treatment that generally applies to PFICs.

Possible Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act Withholding

Pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code and U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, orcommonly referred to as FATCA, a 30% withholding tax may be imposed on all or some of the payments on the ADSs or our common stock after December 31, 20162018 to holders and non-U.S. financial institutions receiving payments on behalf of holders that, in each case, fail to comply with information reporting, certification and related requirements. Under current guidance, the amount to be withheld is not defined, and it is not yet clear whether or to what extent payments on the ADSs or shares of our common stock may be subject to this withholding tax. This withholding tax, if it applies, could apply to any payment made with respect to the ADSs or our common stock. Moreover, withholding may be imposed at any point in a chain of payments if a non-U.S. payee fails to comply with U.S. information reporting, certification and related requirements. Accordingly, ADSs or shares of our common stock held through a non-compliant

institution may be subject to withholding even if the holder otherwise would not be subject to withholding. You should consult your tax advisor regarding potential U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed under FATCA.

If FATCA withholding is required, the Bankbank will not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to any amounts withheld. Certain beneficial owners of ADSs or our common stock that are not foreign financial institutions generally will be entitled to refunds of any amounts withheld under FATCA, but this may entail significant administrative burden. U.S. holders are urged to consult their tax advisers regarding the application of FATCA to their ownership of the ADSs or our common stock.

Medicare tax

A 3.8% tax is imposed on the lesser of (i)(1) modified adjusted gross income in excess of US$200,000 (US$250,000 for joint-filers), and (ii)(2) net investment income of certain individuals, trusts and estates. For these purposes, net investment income will generally include any dividends paid to you with respect to the ADSs or common shares and any gain realized on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of an ADS or common share.

Backup withholding tax and information reporting requirements

U.S. backup withholding tax and information reporting requirements generally apply to certain payments to certain non-exempt holders of ADSs or common shares. Information reporting generally will apply to payments of dividends on, and to proceeds from the sale or redemption of, ADSs or common shares made within the United States, or by a U.S. payor or U.S. middleman, to a holder of ADSs or common shares, other than an exempt recipient. A payor will be required to withhold U.S. backup withholding tax from any payments of dividends on, or the proceeds from the sale or redemption of, ADSs or common shares within the United States, or by a U.S. payor or U.S. middleman, to a holder, other than an exempt recipient, if such holder fails to furnish its correct taxpayer identification number or otherwise fails to comply with, or establish an exemption from, such U.S. backup withholding tax requirements.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any U.S. backup withholding tax generally will be allowed as a credit against the holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability or, to the extent the withheld amount exceeds such liability, refunded upon the timely filing of a U.S. federal income tax return.

Certain U.S. investors are subject to reporting requirements in connection with the holding of certain foreign financial assets, including our ADSs or common shares that they own, either directly or through certain foreign financial institutions, but only if the aggregate value of all of such assets exceeds US$50,000. Such investors are subject to penalties if they are required to submit such information to the IRS and fail to do so. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the application of these new reporting requirements to your particular situation.

The above description is not intended to constitute a complete analysis of all tax consequences relating to the purchase, ownership or disposition of the ADSs or common shares. Investors deciding on whether or not to invest in ADSs or common shares should consult their own tax advisors concerning the tax consequences of their particular situations.

ITEM 11.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT FINANCIAL RISK

 

A.Definition and Principles of Financial Risk Management

This section describes the financial risks, liquidity risks and market risks to which we are exposed in our business activities. Additionally, an explanation is included of the internal tools and regulatory methods used to control these risks, portfolios over which these market risk approaches are applied and quantitative disclosures that demonstrate our level of exposure to financial risk.

The principal types of risks inherent to our business are market, liquidity, operational and credit risk. The effectiveness with which we are able to manage the balance between risk and reward is a significant factor in our ability to generate long-term stable earnings growth. Our senior management places great emphasis on risk management.

Our policy with respect to asset and liability management is to maximize our net interest income and return on assets and equity while managing interest rate, liquidity and foreign exchange risks, all within the limits provided by Chilean banking regulations and internal risk policies and limits.

Our asset and liability management policies are developed by our Asset & Liability Committee or our A“A&L Committee,Committee”, following guidelines established by our Boardboard of Directors.directors. The A&L Committee is composed of eleven members, including one director, the CEO, the treasury and international division manager, the financial risk manager, our CFO, and the division managers of management control and planning, retail banking, non-banking financial services and commercial banking, represented by the managers of the corporate and commercial banking divisions. The role of the financial risk manager and the A&L Committee is to ensure that our treasury and international division’s operations are consistently in compliance with our internal risk policies and limits, as well as applicable regulations. The A&L Committee

typically meets oncetwice per month. Senior members of our treasury and international division meet regularly with the A&L Committee and outside consultants to discuss our asset and liability position. The members of our financial risk management department are not employed in our banking operations or treasury and international division.

The market risk and control department’s activities consist of (i) applying Value at Risk, or VaR, techniques (as discussed below), (ii) marking to market our fixed income portfolio, derivatives portfolio and measuring daily profit and loss from trading activities, (iii) comparing VaR and other exposures against the established limits, and (iv) providing information about trading activities to the A&L Committee, other members of senior management and the treasury and international division.

Our financial risk analysis focuses on managing risk exposure relating to (i) the interest rate risk relating to fixed income portfolio (comprised of a “trading” portfolio and “an available-for-sale” portfolio), which contains mainly Chilean government bonds, Colombian government bonds, corporate bonds, letters of credit loans issued by third parties and interest rate derivatives, (ii) the interest rate risk relating to asset and liability positions, (iii) liquidity risk, and (iv) our net foreign currency position, which includes all of our assets and liabilities in foreign currencies (mainly U.S. dollars), including derivatives that hedge certain foreign currency mismatches that arise between investments and the funding thereof.

 

 1.Market Risk

 

 a)Definition

Market risk is the exposure to economic gains or losses caused by movements in prices and market variables. This exposure stems from both the trading book, where positions are valued at fair value, and the banking book, which is at amortized cost. The different valuation methodologies require the use of diverse tools to measure and control the impact on either the value of the Bank’s positions or its financial margin.

Decisions as to how to manage these risks are reviewed by committees, the most important of which is the A&L Committee.

Each of the activities are measured, analyzed and reported on a daily basis using different metrics to ascertain their risk profiles.

The following section describes the main risk factors along with the tools we use to monitor the most important impacts of market risk factors to which the bankBank and its subsidiaries are exposed.

1. Risk Factors

a) Foreign Exchange Risk

Foreign exchange risk is the exposure to adverse movements in the exchange rates of currencies other than the base currency for all balance sheet and off-balance sheet positions.

The main sources of foreign exchange risk are:

 

Positions in foreign currency (FX) within the trading book,

 

Currency mismatches between assets and liabilities in the banking book,

 

Cash flow mismatches in different currencies, and

 

Structural positions produced from consolidating assets and liabilities from our foreign branches and subsidiaries denominated in currencies other than the Chilean peso. As a result, movements in exchange rates can generate volatility within the bank’s income statement and equity. This effect is known as “translation risk”.

b) Indexation Rate Risk

Indexation risk is the exposure to changes in indexed units (e.g. UF,Unidad de Valor Real (UVR) or others) linked to domestic or foreign currency in which any instruments, contracts or other transactions recorded in the balance sheet may be denominated.

c) Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the exposure to movements in market interest rates. Changes in market interest rates can affect both the price of trading instruments and the financialnet interest margin and other gains from the banking book such as fees. Likewise, fluctuations in interest rates can affect the underlying value of the bank’sBank’s assets and liabilities and of derivative instruments that are recorded off balance sheet at fair value.

Interest rate risk can be represented by sensitivities to parallel and/or non-parallel yield shifts with the effects reflected in the prices of instruments, the financial margin and equity.

Movements in interest rates can be explained by at least the following risk factors:

 

Systemic risk

 

Funding liquidity risk

 

Credit risk

 

Specific risk

A key component of our asset and liability policy is the management of interest rate sensitivity. Interest rate sensitivity is the relationship between market interest rates and net interest income due to the maturity or re-pricing characteristics of interest-earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. For any given period, the pricing structure is matched when an equal amount of such assets and liabilities mature or re-price in that period. Any mismatch of interest-earning assets and interest bearing liabilities is known as a gap position. A positive gap denotes asset sensitivity and means that an increase in interest rates would have a positive effect on net interest income while a decrease in interest rates would have a negative effect on net interest income. Accordingly, a negative gap

denotes asset sensitivity and means that a decrease in interest rates would have a negative effect on net interest income while an increase in interest rates would have a positive effect on net interest income.

Our interest rate sensitivity strategy takes into account not only the rates of return and the underlying degree of risk, but also liquidity requirements, including minimum regulatory cash reserves, mandatory liquidity ratios, withdrawal and maturity of deposits, capital costs and additional demand for funds. Our maturity mismatches and positions are monitored by our A&L Committee and are managed within established limits.

d) Prepayment or Call Risk

This risk arises from the possible prepayment (partial or full) of any transaction before its contractual maturity, generating the need to reinvest the freed cash flows at a different rate than that of the prepaid transaction.

e) Underwriting Risk

This risk arises as a result of the Bank underwriting a placement of bonds or other debt instruments, taking on the risk of coming to own the portion of the issuance that could not be placed among potential interested parties.

f) Correlation Risk

Correlation risk is the exposure to changes in estimated correlations between the relative value of two or more assets, or a difference between the effective and estimated correlation over the life of the transaction.

g) Market Liquidity Risk

Market liquidity risk is the exposure to losses as a result of the potential impact on transaction prices or costs in the sale or closure of a position. This risk is related to the particular market’s degree of depth.

h) Volatility Risk

In addition to the exposure related to the underlying asset, issuing options has other risks. These risks arise from the non-linear relationship between the gain generated by the option and the price and level of the underlying factors, as well as the exposure to changes in the perceived volatility of these factors.

 

 b)Management Principles

The following principles govern the market risk management efforts of CorpBanca and its subsidiaries:

 

Business and trades are conducted in line with established policies, pre-approved limits, guidelines, procedure controls and clearly defined delegation of decision-making authority, in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

 

The bank’s organizational structure must ensure effective segregation of duties so that trading, monitoring, accounting and risk measurement are performed and reported independently using a dual-control system.

 

Trading of new products and participation in new markets can only take place if all of the following occur:

 

The product has been approved by the Bank’s New Product Committee.

 

A full assessment has been conducted to determine if the activity falls within the bank’s general risk tolerance and specific commercial objectives.

Proper controls and limits have been set for that activity.

 

The limits, terms and conditions stipulated in the authorizations are monitored on a daily basis and any excesses are reported no later than the following day.

 

Trading positions are valued each day at fair value in accordance with the valuation policy.

All trades must be executed at current market rates.

 

 2.Funding Liquidity Risk

 

 a)Definition

Funding liquidity risk is the exposure of the bank and its subsidiaries to events that affect their ability to meet, in a timely manner and at reasonable costs, cash payment obligations arising from maturities of time deposits that are not renewed, withdrawals from demand accounts, maturities or settlements of derivatives, liquidations of investments or any other payment obligation.

Financial institutions are exposed to funding liquidity risk that is intrinsic to the role of intermediary that they play in the economy. In general, in financial markets demand for medium or long-term financing is usually much greater than the supply of funds for those terms while short-term financing is in considerable supply. In this sense, the role of intermediary played by financial institutions, which assume the risk of satisfying the demand for medium and long-term financing by brokering short-term available funds, is essential for the economy to function properly.

Appropriately managing funding liquidity risk not only allows contractual obligations to be met in a timely manner, but also enables:

 

theThe liquidation of positions, when it so decides, to occur without significant losses.

 

theThe commercial and treasury activities of the bank and its subsidiaries to be financed at competitive rates.

 

theThe bank to avoid fines or regulatory penaltiessantions for not complying with regulations.

 

 b)Management Principles

The principles used to manage funding liquidity risk include:

 

Balancing strategic liquidity objectives with corporate profitability objectives, designing and implementing investment and financing strategies to compete with our key competitors.

 

Designing policies, limits and procedures in accordance with banking regulations, internal rules and CorpBanca’s strategic business objectives.

 

Establishing a robust framework for managing liquidity risk that guarantees that the entity will maintain sufficient liquidity, including a cushion of high-quality, unencumbered liquid assets that can be used to contend with a series of stress-generating events, including those that bring about losses or weaken sources of secured and unsecured financing.

 

Clearly establishing liquidity risk tolerance appropriate for its business strategy and its size within the financial system.

 

The bank has a financing strategy that promotes effective diversification of funding sources and maturities. It maintains a continuous presence in the funding market with correspondent banks and select customers, maintaining close relationships and promoting diversification of funding sources. It also keeps appropriate lines of financing available, ensuring its ability to obtain liquid resources quickly. The bank has identified the main factors of vulnerability that affect its ability to secure funds and monitors the validity of the assumptions behind estimates for obtaining funding.

 

CorpBanca actively manages its intraday liquidity positions and risks in order to punctually meet its payment and liquidation obligations both under normal circumstances as well as situations of stress, contributing to the smooth operations of the payment and settlement systems.

 

 3.Counterparty Risk

Credit default risk is the risk of loss arising from non-compliance by a given counterparty, for whatever reason, in paying all or part of its obligations with the Bank under contractually agreed-upon conditions. This risk also includes a given counterparty’s inability to comply with obligations to settle derivative operations with bilateral risk.

The Bankbank diversifies credit risk by placing limits on the concentration of this risk in any one individual debtor, debtor group, product, industry segment or country. Such risks are continuously monitored and the limits by debtor, debtor group, product, industry and country are reviewed at least once per year and approved by the respective committees.

Exposure to credit risk is evaluated using an individual analysis of the payment capacity of debtors and potential debtors to meet their obligations on time and as agreed.

Furthermore, the Bankbank has strict controls for derivative contracts negotiated directly with its counterparties. This exposure is managed using limits per customer based on a risk methodology equivalent to credit risk exposure. Lastly, the values of derivatives are adjusted to reflect the expected loss from the counterparty.

The Bank includes in the valuation of derivatives the “Counterparty Valuation Adjustment” (CVA), to reflect the counterparty risk in the determination of fair value.This valuation considers the Bank’s own credit risk, known as “Debit Valuation Adjustment” (DVA). See Note 34Financial Assets And Liabilities Measured At Fair Value.

Offsetting financial assets and liabilities

The Bank should offset a financial asset and a financial liability and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when and only when:

i.- currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts; and

ii.- intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

The bank includes assets and financial liabilities that have master netting agreements but do not qualify to be netting directly in the statement of financial position and hence their values are presented gross in that Statement.

According to the above, the following table shows the impact of the main assets and liabilities offset and those who maintain netting agreements (including financial guarantees), but do not qualify to be netting directly in the statement of financial position.

B.Corporate Governance Structure and Committees

CorpBanca has anestablished a sound organizational structure for monitoring, controlling and managing market risks, based on the following principles:

Risk is monitored and controlled by parties independent from those managing risk, thus correctly aligning incentives.

 

Management efforts should be flexible, within the framework permitted by policies, rules and current regulations.

 

Senior management establishes the guidelines for risk exposure,appetite, and

 

Senior management isIs informed periodically on risk levels assumed, contingencies and instances when limits are exceeded.

In order to guarantee the flexibility of management efforts and communication of risk levels to upper management, the following network of committees has been established:

 

Daily Committee: Meets daily to review financial conditions and the latest market movements. This committee reviews the relevance of positions on a daily basis in order to detect in advance any scenarios that could negatively impact returns and liquidity. It also monitors the performance of strategies used for each of the portfolios.

 

Market and Proprietary Trading Committee: Meets weekly to analyze management of positions. This committee reviews local and global economic conditions and projections in order to analyze the potential benefits and risks of the strategies executed and evaluate new strategies.

 

Financial Management Committee: Meets biweekly to analyze management of structural interest rate and indexation risk in the banking book.

 

Liquidity Management Committee: Meets biweekly to analyze management of funding liquidity risk.

 

A&L Committee: Meets biweekly to analyze economic and financial conditions and inform senior management of market and liquidity risk levels assumed by presenting indexes of market and funding liquidity risk, limit consumption and results of stress tests.

 

Board of Directors:directors: The Boardboard of Directorsdirectors is informed each quarter of the market and funding liquidity risk levels assumed by presenting established risk indexes, limit consumption and results of stress tests.

The divisionsDivisions in charge of managing market and funding liquidity risk are:

The Treasury Division is responsible for managing market risk. Its primary objective is to generate or conduct business with customers while its secondary function is to carry out proprietary trading.

The Finance and International Division is responsible for managing all structural risks in the markets in which it operates through the Financial Management and Liquidity Management Areas in order to provide greater stability to the financial margin and ensure suitable levels of solvency and liquidity.

As with the corporate structure for financial risk at a corporate level, each local financial risk unit arranges its functions based on the specific characteristics of the business, operations, legal requirements or other relevant aspects.

In order to guarantee adherence to corporate policies and proper local execution, the corporate financial risk area and local financial risk units have the following roles and functions:

Corporate Financial Risk Area:

 

To design, propose and document risk policies and criteria, corporate limits and decision making and control processes.

 

To generate management schemes, systems and tools, overseeing and supporting implementation so that they function effectively.

To know, assimilate and adapt internal and external best practices.

 

To drive commercial activity to attain risk-weighted results.

 

To consolidate, analyze and control financial risk incurred by all perimeter units.

Local Financial Risk Units:

 

To measure, analyze and control the risks under their responsibility.

 

To adapt and embrace corporate policies and procedures through local approval.

 

To define and document local policies and lead local projects.

 

To apply policies and decision-making systems to each market.

 

To adapt the organization and management schemes to corporate frameworks and rules.

 (a)Limits and Warning Levels

 

 (i)Trading Book

The trading book consists of financial instruments that are allocated to diverse portfolios based on their strategy. The market risk of these instruments stems mainly from being recorded at fair value. As a result, changes in market conditions can directly impact their value. The following sections describe the monitoring and control structure for market risk in the trading book used during 2014.2015.

 

 (a)Value at Risk (VaR)

The VaRValue at Risk (VaR) methodology is the main tool for controlling market risk in the trading book. Its appeal lies in its providing a statistical measurement of the maximum expected loss at a certain defined level of confidence, consolidating the risk exposures with the observed distribution of market factors.

The bankBank assigns global limits based on its activities in different markets. In addition, in order to complement these global limits, VaR sublimits are defined using diverse variables such as market volatility, volume, liquidity and return on capital.capital are defined.

The following table presents the use of VaR during 20142015 for the Bank and its Chilean and foreign subsidiaries. The Chilean branch accounts

 (i)VaR Backtesting

VaR backtesting is carried out at a local and corporate level by the different financial risk units. The backtesting methodology is applied consistently to all of the Bank’s portfolios. These exercises consist of comparing the estimated VaR measurements at a determined level of confidence and time horizon against the actualreal results of losses obtained during the same time horizon. The methodology used compares the results obtained without considering the intraday results or changes in positions within the portfolio. This method corroborates the individual models’ ability to value and measure the risks from the different positions.

The graphs below compare the bank’s daily VaR estimates and the realized P&L over a period of 300 days in order to probe the VaR measurements’ consistency (Kupiec’s frequency test). Indeed, about 99% of the realized P&L should lie within the ±99% VaR interval. Given the time period of 300 days, there should be an expected number of 3 excesses.

As seen below, CorpBanca Chile exhibited 2 exceptions over the considered time period, which corresponds to the Basel green zone.

TABLE 4:FIGURE 3: BACKTESTING TRENDS FOR CHILE IN 20142015

The graph presented above shows VaR movements with data from 300 days of history and the Bank’s results in Chile. Based on the graph, during the time frame indicated, there were 2 exceptions over the daily VaR. The frequency or Kupiec test places the model within the green zone, which suggestsindicates that the model is correct and aligned with the hypotheses made and accepts exceptions generated with a frequency of close to 1%, which are also independent from one another.

 

LOGOLOGO

The figure above illustrates an exception to the daily VaR. The frequency test places the model within the green zone, which indicates that there is no evidence for rejecting the model.

(b) Interest Rate and Currency Sensitivity

(b)Interest Rate and Currency Sensitivity

Measuring interest rate and currency sensitivity is one of the main tools for monitoring market risk in the trading book, enabling the Bank to break down, understand and report on the directional positions to which it is exposed.

Interest rate and currency sensitivity is monitored on a daily basis and is limited by the VaR limits established for each portfolio.

At the same time, exchange rate risk is controlled using notional limits, giving fluidity to currency products with customers and simultaneously limiting trading positions. The following table shows the current notional limits as well as closing positions as of year-end 2014,2015, and statistics for that year.

(ii) Banking Book

The banking book consists primarily of:

Assets

 

Cash

 

Commercial, mortgage and consumer loans from the commercial areas.

 

Fixed-income instruments classified as available for sale or held to maturity.

Liabilities

 

Demand deposits

 

Time deposits

 

Senior and subordinated bonds

 

Derivative instruments that qualify for hedge accounting: Derivatives that, meeting certain requirements, are given an accounting treatment different than those derivatives recorded in the trading book, the objective of which is to manage risks in the banking book.

The banking book’s main risks and the tools used to monitor, control and manage these risks are described below.

 

 (a)Financial Investment Positions

The banking book includes a portfolio of financial investments classified as available-for-sale instruments, used to manage structural interest rate risk in the balance sheet. Exposure to this type of investments is calculated using PV01 (Present Value of 1bp, which is an indicator of the shift in asset value for a 1bp shift in the yield) and VaR market value sensitivities, in order to continuously monitor the volatility of book basis equity.

Hedge accounting is used as an effective and relatively low-cost tool to manage this risk.

 

 (b)Sensitivity to Indexation

CorpBanca’s balance sheet presents a mismatch between inflation-indexed assets and liabilities. The Chilean market has more indexed assets than liabilities, which explains why the bankBank has a mismatch of inflation-indexed assets. This is due to the existence of medium and long-term indexed assets that are financed with liabilities in Chilean pesos.

Hedge accounting is used as an effective and relatively low-cost tool to manage this risk.

The following table shows the size of the mismatch as of year-end 2014,December 31, 2015, and the mismatch statistics during the year.

(d) Structural Exchange Rate Risk

(d)Structural Exchange Rate Risk

Structural exchange rate risk arises from the Bank’s positions in currencies other than the Chilean peso related primarily to the consolidation of investments in subsidiaries or affiliates and the gains or losses fromnet income and hedges of these investments. The process of managing structural exchange rate risk is dynamic and attempts to limit the impact of currency depreciation, thus optimizing the financial cost of hedges.

The general policy for managing this risk is to finance them in the currency of the investment provided that the depth of the market depth so allows and the cost is justified by the expected depreciation. One-time hedges are also taken out when the Bank considers that any currency may weaken beyond market expectations with respect to the Chilean peso. As of December 31, 2014,2015, greater ongoing exposure was concentrated in Colombian pesos (approximately US$ 1.1 billion).

The Bank hedges part of these positions on a permanent basis using currency derivatives.

(b) Stress Tests

 (c)Methodologies

 

 (i)Trading Book

 

 (a)Value at Risk - VaR

For the calculation of VaR, the non-parametric method of historical simulation is used, which consists of using a historical series of prices and the position at risk from the trading book.

A time series of simulated prices and yields is constructed with the assumption that the portfolio was conserved for the period of time of the historical series. The VaR tries to quantify a threshold of expected losses, which should only occur a certain percentage of times based on the level of confidence used in the calculation.

 

 (b)Rate Sensitivity

Sources of rate risk include forwards, swaps and options. Rate sensitivity is calculated and reported by portfolio, by relevant discount curve and by maturity.

The present value of the portfolio is stressed by 1 bp. In other words, the present value is calculated by increasing the respective discount rate by 1 bp. The sensitivity of options is calculated using the theta value.

The variation in the present value of the portfolio corresponds to its sensitivity at a variation of one basis point (bp).

 

LOGOLOGO

 (c)Currency Sensitivities

Sources of exchange rate risk come from both balance sheet and off-balance sheet positions such as derivatives.

Currency or position sensitivity corresponds to the market valuation of each cash flow in the currency of origin. That is, the cash flows in foreign currency expressed at present value.

 (b)Sensitivity of Financial Margin

This measures the impact caused by a movement of 100 bp, over a twelve-month horizon, in the Bank’s financial margin (interest earned less interest paid).

The information required to calculate the index is obtained from the regulatory cash flows of the market risk data from the balance sheet book (regulatory report C40) only considering the time bands up to and including 1Y.

This measures the sensitivity of the market value of the cash flows associated with assets and liabilities in the event of a parallel change of 100 bp in the relevant discount curve.

The information required to calculate the index is obtained from the cash flows of the Bank’s entire portfolio using data from the banking book.

 (2)Regulatory Monitoring

Regulatory monitoring of market risk exposure is measured in accordance with chapter III.B.2III.B.2.2 of the Compendium of Financial Standards from the Chilean Central Bank of Chile and chapter 12-912-21 of the RegulationsUpdated Compilation of Standards from the SBIFSuperintendency of Banks and Financial Institutions for both the trading book and the banking book. In the trading book, the impact is measured in the event of a change in the market price of its financial positions as a result of variations in interest rates, exchange rates and volatility. In the banking book, the impact is measured on the entity’s financial margin and present value.

The limits established for the trading book are for exposure to interest rate risk and exchange rate risk. The difference between the regulatory capital recorded by the financial institution and the sum of the following two items cannot be negative: (i) the product of the credit risk-weighted assets defined in article 67 of the Chilean General Banking LawAct and the minimum percentage established for regulatory capital in article 66 of that law, and (ii) the sum of the trading book’s exposure to interest rate risk and the exchange rate risks for the entire balance sheet measured in accordance with the Basel

Basel standard methodology with some important differences where exchange rate exposure stands out. As indicated in the paragraph above, the Bank must always comply with the following ratio:

TABLEFIGURE 21: MARKET RISK LIMIT FOR TRADING BOOK

The market risk presented in the table above (measured in units of risk-weighted assets) shows that capital consumption related to the Bank’s exposures to market risks is explained in more than 83% of the cases by the effect of our investment in Banco CorpBanca Colombia. As of December 2014,2015, this investment amounted to approximately US$ 1.1 billion.815 million. This exposure to exchange rate risk —Chilean peso vs. Colombian peso— is considered structural in the sense that it arises from a long-term investment.

It is also worth mentioning that in accordance with Chilean regulations,regulations; a sensitivity factor of 35% is applied to net exposures in foreign currencies of countries other than those classified as AAA or an equivalent rating.their equivalent. The standard sensitivity factor in the Basel standards is only 8%. As a result, the capital consumption that the Bank must report to comply with local regulations is more than 4 times greater than if international recommendations were applied.

The regulatory model for market risk in Colombia, as in Chile, is based on the standard Basel model, separated into risk factors (i.e. interest rate, exchange rate and stock price). The volatilities applied to each of the factors are established by regulators. This result is used for the solvency margin, to which a factor equivalent to 100/9 is applied.

TABLEFIGURE 22: MARKET RISK IN COLOMBIA

Chilean regulations also require banks to establish limits for their market risk exposure in their banking book, which includes limits based on sensitivity in the financial margin and volatility in its equity value. Measurement of exposure to interest rate and indexation risks in the banking book must consider both the short-term impact on the capacity to generate net interest and indexation income and the fees sensitive to changes in interest rates, as well as the long-term impact on the institution’s economic value of adverse movements in interest rates.

The banking book’s exposure to the net interest and indexation margin is known as the short-term limit and cannot exceed 35% of the accumulated interest and indexation margin, plus fees sensitive to interest rates charged in the twelve months prior to the date of measurement. The exposure of capital to changes in interest rates has a long-term limit that cannot exceed 20% of regulatory capital. Both limits were presented and ratified by the Bank’s Boardboard of Directors.directors.

a) Management Tools

a)Management Tools

Our general policy is to maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure our ability to honor withdrawals of deposits, make repayments of other liabilities at maturity, extend loans and meet any other obligation. In order to comply with risk management objectives for funding liquidity risk, the monitoring and control structure is centered mainly on the following:following focal points:

 

Short-term maturity mismatch

 

Coverage capacity using liquid assets

 

Concentration of funding sources

Additionally, the monitoring and control structure for liquidity risk is complemented with stress testing in order to observe the institution’s ability to respond in the event of illiquid conditions.

 

 (1)Internal Monitoring

 

 (a)Limits and Warning Levels

 

 (i)Thirty-day Liquidity Coverage Ratio

In order to safeguard the Bank’s payment capacity in the event of illiquid conditions; a minimum has been established for the instrument portfolio that enables cash flows to be quickly generated either through liquidation or because they can be used as collateral for new funding sources.

The limit foron the liquidity coverage ratio of liquidity is 50% of the 30-day mismatch in consolidated currency.mismatches of 30 days (consolidated currency).

 (ii)Daily Wholesale Maturities

In order to control concentration of funding sources and safeguard compliance with obligations, the Bank monitors maturities of deposits in Chilean pesos by wholesale customers. This monitoring is conducted with a daily limit of Ch$MCh$50,000 million in maturities per day.

Special treatment is given to this customer segment for two reasons:

 

They individually could represent an important percentage of CorpBanca’s business.

 

Given the profile of these customers in the wholesale segment, the renewal rate for these deposits tends to be lower. This last reason is consistent with cash disbursement models in regulatory reports, which do not assume that wholesale customers will renew deposits.

The maturity profile for wholesale deposits is monitored on a daily basis.basis for every country. As a result, excesses are detected and reported based on the structure of the maturity profile. Forecasted excesses must be justified the day after they are reported and must then be managed.

 

 (iii)Warning Levels for Liquidity Requirements

In addition to monitoring and reporting all internal limits on a daily basis, senior management is informed each month through the A&L Committee and the Boardboard of Directorsdirectors is informed each quarter. Special importance is placed on the Bank’s liquidity position by presenting an analysis of measurements of concentration, performance, premiums paid and/or other relevant variables.

 

 (a)Monitoring Funding Sources

Monitoring of variations in the stock of short-term funding such as time and demand deposits for each of the segments represents a key variable in monitoring the Bank’s liquidity. Identifying abnormal volatilities in these funding sources enables the Bank to quickly foresee possible undesired liquidity problems and thus to suggest action plans for managing them.

During 2014,2015, different strategies were implemented to diversify liabilities, including: diversifying time deposits, expanding stable funding sources such as on-line time deposits by individuals and issuing bonds.

These strategies enabled the Bank to continue to improve its funding structure, providing more stable funding.

 (b)Survival Horizon under Individual Stress

As a function of stressed maturities and renewal ratios, days of survival are estimated based on projected liquidity needs and the portfolio of available liquid assets. Based on these scenarios, any significant deviation is studied to determine whether action plans need to be implemented.

 

 (b)Stress Tests

Stress testing is a tool that complements the analysis of liquidity risk management as it enables the Bank to know its ability to respond in the event of extreme illiquid conditions and to trigger its contingency plans, if necessary, to address such conditions.

In particular, three types of scenarios are modeled:

 

Individual Crisis: the financial system losses confidence in the Bank, which translates into important withdrawals from demand accounts, decreases in deposits and bond investments by customers and penalties to its funding rates.

 

Systemic Crisis: Local weakening of financial and credit conditions that causes the market to seek refuge in the U.S. dollar, greater restrictions on access to credit from abroad, massive outflows of capital, increases in the use of lines of credit and downward adjustments in expectations for the monetary policy rate.

 

Global Crisis: Global weakening of financial, credit and economic conditions that causes the market to seek refuge in the U.S. dollar, greater restrictions on access to credit from abroad, decreased exposure to credit risk (replaced by sovereign risk), increases in the use of lines of credit and downward adjustments in expectations for the monetary policy rate.

 

 (2)Regulatory Monitoring

(a)Liquidity requirement

In accordance with chapterChapter III B.2 from the Chilean Central Bank of Chile and chapterChapter 12-9 of the RegulationsUpdated Compilation of Standards from the SBIF, the Bank must measure and control its liquidity position based on the difference between cash flows payable from liability and expense accounts and cash flows receivable from asset and income accounts for a given period or time band, which is called maturity mismatch.

This measurement is determined for controlling the liquidity position of the Bank itself and of its subsidiaries. The maturity mismatch calculation is carried out separately for domestic and foreign currency, setting limits based on capital and cash flows accumulated at 30 and 90 days:

 

The maturity mismatch in all currencies for periods less than or equal to 30 days must be less than or equal to the Bank’s basic capital.

 

The maturity mismatch in foreign currencies for periods less than or equal to 30 days must be less than or equal to the Bank’s basic capital.

 

The maturity mismatch in all currencies for periods less than or equal to 90 days must be less than or equal to twice the Bank’s basic capital.

In full compliance with the Chilean Central Bank of Chile and the SBIF, CorpBanca’s Boardboard of Directorsdirectors approved a policy to measure and control its liquidity position based on maturity mismatches on an adjusted basis with a 10% cushion with respect to the regulatory limit.

The table below shows the use of internal mismatch limits as of December 31, 20142015 and some consumption statistics for the year.

In the Colombian market, the regulatory measurement known as the standard LRI model measures 7 and 30-day liquidity gaps. It allows entities to quantify the level of minimum liquid assets, in domestic and foreign currency, that they should maintain each day in order to, at a minimum, meet their payment obligations fully and on time. Entities must be capable of measuring and forecasting the cash flows of their assets, liabilities, off-balance sheet positions and derivative instruments for different time horizons in both normal scenarios and crisis scenarios where cash flows vary significantly from expectations as a result of unforeseen changes in markets, the entity or both.

The following tablesfigures show the evolution of the 7 and 30 day liquidity gaps in Colombia in 2014.2015.

D. Disclosures Regarding Derivative Financial Instruments

D.Disclosures Regarding Derivative Financial Instruments

We enter into transactions involving derivative instruments particularly foreign exchange contracts, as part of our asset and liability management and in acting as a dealer to satisfy our clients’ needs. These transactions arise from forward exchange contracts which are of two types: (i) transactions covering two foreign currencies and (ii) transactions covering Chilean pesos against the U.S. dollar.

Foreign exchange forward contracts involve an agreement to exchange the currency of one country for the currency of another country at an agreed-upon price and settlement date. These contracts are generally standardized contracts, normally for periods between 1 and 180 days and are not traded in a secondary market; however, in the normal course of business and with the agreement of the original counterparty, they may be terminated or assigned to another counterparty.

When we enter into a forward exchange contract, we analyze and approve the credit risk (the risk that the counterparty might default on its obligations). Subsequently, on an ongoing basis, we monitor the possible losses involved in each contract. To manage the level of credit risk, we deal with counterparties of good credit standing, enter into master netting agreements whenever possible and, when appropriate, obtain collateral.

The Central Bank of Chile requires that foreign exchange forward contracts be made only in U.S. dollars and other major foreign currencies. Most of our forward contracts are made in U.S. dollars against the Chilean peso or the UF. In September 1997, the Central Bank of Chile changed its regulations with respect to foreign currency forward contracts. We may now enter into foreign currency forward contracts with companies organized and located outside of Chile, including foreign subsidiaries of Chilean companies.

Unrealized gains, losses, premiums and discounts arising from foreign exchange forward contracts are shown under other assets and other liabilities.

ITEM 15.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of December 31, 2014,2015, CorpBanca, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the CEO and the CFO, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any control system, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of disclosure controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

Based upon the evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information relating to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, required to be disclosed in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the management, including principal financial officers as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

MANAGEMENT’S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards BoardIASB (IFRS-IASB).

Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

 

pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets,

 

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS-IASB and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors, and

 

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well designed, may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 20142015 based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (1992)(2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, (COSO). Based on this assessment, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2014.2015.

Our independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte, has audited the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report,annual report, and as part of their audit, has issued their report, included herein, on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014.2015.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this Annual Report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.

Our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015 has been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in its report, which follows below.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

    CorpBanca

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of CorpBanca and subsidiaries (the “Bank”) as of December 31, 2014,2015, based on criteria established inInternal Control-Integrated Framework (1992)(2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Bank’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanyingManagement’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Bank’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Bank’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company’s board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A Bank’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Bank; (2) provide reasonable assurance that

transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Bank’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

LOGO

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the Bank maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014,2015, based on the criteria established inInternal Control - Integrated Framework (1992) (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 20142015 of the Bank and our report dated April 29, 2015March 31, 2016 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements and included an explanatory paragraph concerning the translation of Chilean peso amounts into U.S. dollar amounts in conformity with the basis stated in Note 1ff) and that such U.S. dollar amounts are presented solely for the convenience of readers in the United States of America.

ITEM 16D.EXEMPTIONS FROM THE LISTING STANDARDS FOR AUDIT COMMITTEES

CorpBanca’s audit committee does not meet the requirements of Exchange Act Rule 10A-3 because Juan Echeverría González does not meet the Exchange Act Rule 10A-3(b)(1) independence requirements. CorpBanca is relying on the general exemption contained in Exchange Act Rule 10A-3(c)(3), which provides an exemption from NYSE’s listing standards relating to audit committees for foreign companies like CorpBanca. CorpBanca’s reliance on Rule 10A-3(c)(3) does not, in the opinion of management, materially adversely affect the ability of its audit committee to act independently and to satisfy the other requirements of Exchange Act Rule 10A-3.

ITEM 16F.CHANGE IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT

Not applicable.

On March 11, 2016, the bank’s Audit Committee (“BAC”) and the shareholders approved the appointment of PriceWaterhouseCoopers Consultores, Auditores y Compañia Limitada (“PwC”) as its independent registered public accounting firm (“external auditor”) for the year ending December 31, 2016. This change in external auditors is being made as a result of the pending Itaú-CorpBanca Merger which will result in Itau Unibanco as the ultimate controlling entity as defined under IFRS 10, “Consolidated Financial Statements”. Deloitte continued to serve as CorpBanca’s external auditor following this announcement for any pending year 2015 financial report and it will formally resign upon the filing of the Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2015.

During the two years prior to December 31, 2015, (1) Deloitte has not issued any reports on the financial statements of the bank or on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting that contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were the auditors’ reports of Deloitte qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, (2) there has not been any disagreement over any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to Deloitte’s satisfaction would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its auditors’ reports, or any “reportable event” as described in Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of Form 20-F.

Further in the two years prior to December 31, 2015, the bank has not consulted with PwC regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered with respect to the consolidated financial statements of the bank, and neither a report was provided to the bank or oral advice was provided that PwC concluded was an important factor considered by the bank in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement as that term is used in Item 16F(a)(1)(iv) of Form 20-F or a “reportable event” as described in Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of Form 20-F.

ITEM 16G.CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Pursuant to Section 303A.11 of the Listed Company Manual of the New York Stock Exchange, “foreign private issuers” are required to provide a summary of the significant ways in which their corporate governance practices differ from those corporate governance standards required of U.S. companies by the New York Stock Exchange. As a Chilean bank, our corporate governance standards are governed by our by-laws, the Chilean General Banking Law,Act, the Chilean Securities Market Act, the Chilean Corporations Law, theLey de Mercado de Valores No. 18,045, or the Securities Market Law,Act and the regulations issued byRegulations of the SBIF. The following chart notes these differences:

 

NYSE Corporate Governance Standards

  

Chilean Corporate Governance Standards

Listed companies must have a majority of independent directors and independence test.  Publicly traded companies (sociedades anónimas abiertas) must designate at least one independent director and a directors committee, if they have a market capitalization equal to or greater than the equivalent of 1,500,000unidades de fomento, and at least 12.5% of its issued shares with voting rights are held by shareholders who individually control or own less than 10% of such shares. Under Chilean law, directors elected by a group or class of shareholders have the same duties to the company and to the shareholders as do the remaining directors, and all transactions with the company in which a director has an interest, either personally (which includes the director’s spouse and certain relatives) or as a representative of a third party, requires a report from the directors committee and the prior approval by the board of directors and must be entered into the interest of the Company and on market terms and conditions. Such transactions must be reviewed by the directors committee and disclosed at the subsequent shareholders’ meeting.
Non-management directors must meet at regularly scheduled executive sessions without management.  Chilean law establishes that our executive officers may not serve as directors and therefore, all of our directors are non-management. Our Boardboard of Directorsdirectors meets regularly on a monthly basis.

NYSE Corporate Governance Standards

Chilean Corporate Governance Standards

Listed companies must have a nominating/corporate governance committee composed entirely of independent directors. The committee must have a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities, which must include (i) identifying, and selecting or recommending, qualified individuals to serve as board members, (ii) developing and recommending corporate governance guidelines; and (iii) overseeing the evaluation of the board and management.  Under Chilean law, we are not required to have, and do not have, a nominating/corporate governance committee. Under Chilean law, the only committees that are required are the audit committee, the directors committee, the anti-money laundering committee and the anti-terrorism finance committee.
Listed companies must have a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors. The committee must have a written charter addressing an annual performance evaluation of the committee and addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities, which must include (i) determining and approving the CEO’s compensation level based on an evaluation of the CEO’s performance in light of relevant corporate goals and objectives, (ii) making recommendations with respect to non-CEO executive officer compensation and (iii) producing a committee report on executive officer compensation.  Under Chilean law we are not required to have a compensation committee. Our Boardboard of Directorsdirectors establishes the compensation of our CEO and does a performance evaluation. The Directors Committee examines the compensation program of executive officers.

Shareholders must have the opportunity to vote on all equity-compensation plans and material revisions thereto, subject to limited exemptions.Our compensation policies do not provide for equity compensation plans.
Listed companies must adopt and disclose corporate governance guidelines. The guidelines must address (i) director qualification standards, (ii) director responsibilities, (iii) director access to management, (iv) director compensation, (v) director orientation and continuing education, (vi) management succession, and (vii) annual performance evaluation of the board.We follow corporate governance guidelines established by Chilean laws and by the Regulations of the SBIF which include, among others (i) active participation of directors in our main committees, (ii) the requirement that all employees sign and be knowledgeable of our code of ethics, (iii) a separation of functions — our commercial segment is separated from the back office and risk segments and main credit decisions are taken in committee, (iv) monthly review by the audit committee of internal audit reports and (v) the appointment of an officer who oversees compliance with the code of ethics.
Listed companies must adopt and disclose a code of business conduct and ethics for directors, officers and employees, and promptly disclose waivers thereof for directors or executive officers.We have a code of business and ethics conduct which drives business and ethic conduct of our CEO, CFO and each employee. This code must be signed by each of our employees and is published in our intranet; it is included as an exhibit in this Annual Report.
Listed companies must have an audit committee that meets the requirements of Exchange Act Rule 10A-3 or be exempt therefrom. If the company has an audit committee, each member must meet Exchange Act Rule 10A-3(b)(1) independence requirements or be exempt therefrom. In particular, Exchange Act Rule 10A-3(b)(1) requires that each member of the audit committee be a member of the board of directors of the issuer, and must otherwise be independent.Under Chilean law, all Chilean banks must establish an audit committee composed of two or more members, two of whom must be directors appointed by the board of directors. The SBIF recommends that at least one of the members of the audit committee, who must also be a member of the board of directors, be experienced with respect to the accounting procedures and financial aspects of banking operations. The members of the audit committee appointed by the board of directors must be independent according to the criteria set by the board of directors. In furtherance of the independence of the audit committee, the Board of Directorsdirectors has determined that audit committee members should not, for the last three years, have held positions as our principal executive officers, have performed professional services for us, have commercial commitments with us or with any of our affiliates or related persons or have relations with other entities related to us from which they have received material payments. Moreover, they may not accept any payment or other compensatory fee from us, other than in their capacity as members of the audit committee or of other committees. All the members of the audit committee receive a monthly remuneration.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

    CorpBanca

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of CorpBanca and subsidiaries (the “Bank”) as of December 31, 20142015 and 2013,2014, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014.2015. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Bank’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CorpBanca and subsidiaries as of December 31, 20142015 and 2013,2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014,2015, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS-IASB”).

Our audits also comprehended the translation of Chilean peso amounts into U.S. dollar amounts and in our opinion, such translation has been made in conformity with the basis stated in note 1ff)1 ff) to the consolidated financial statements. Such U.S. dollars amounts are presented solely for the convenience of readers outside Chile.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America), the Bank’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014,2015, based on the criteria established inInternal Control—IntegratedFramework (1992)(2013)issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated April 29, 2015March 31, 2016 expressed an unqualified opinion on the Bank’s internal control over financial reporting.

1.2 Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of preparation

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IFRS – IASB).

The consolidated financial statements for the period ended December 31, 20142015 have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors on April 29, 2014.March 28, 2016.

For purposes of these financial statements we use certain terms and conventions. References to “US$”, “US dollars” and “dollars” are to United States dollars, references to “Chilean pesos”, “pesos” or “Ch$” are to Chilean pesos, references to “Colombia pesos”, or “Cop$” are to Colombian pesos and references to “UF” are to Unidades de Fomento. The UF is an inflation-indexed Chilean monetary unit with a value in Chilean pesos that changes daily to reflect changes in the official Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) of the Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas (the Chilean National Institute of Statistics) from the previous month.

The UF is revalued in monthly cycles. Each day in the period beginning on the tenth day of the current month through the ninth day of the succeeding month, the nominal peso value of the UF is indexed up (or down in the event of deflation) in order to reflect a proportionate amount of the change in the Chilean Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) during the prior calendar month. As of December 31, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2014,2015, one UF equaled Ch$22,840.75,23,309.56, Ch$23,309.56,24,627.10, and Ch$24,627.1025,629.09 respectively. The effect of any changes in the nominal peso value of our UF-denominated interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities is reflected in our results of operations as an increase (or decrease, in the event of deflation) in interest income and expense, respectively.

For consolidation purposes, the statements of financial position of our New York Branch have been converted to Chilean pesos at the exchange rate of Ch$710.32 per US$1 as of December 31, 2015 (Ch$605.46 per US$1 as of December 31, 2014 (Ch$526.41 per US$1 as of December 31, 2013). Our2014), our Colombian subsidiaries have used the exchange rate of Ch$0.25320.2266 per COP$1 (Ch$0.27360.2532 per COP$1 as of December 31, 2013)2014), both in accordance with International Accounting Standard 21, regarding the translation of a foreign operation whose functional currency is not the currency of a hyperinflationary economy.

The main accounting policies adopted in preparing these financial statements are described below.

CORPBANCA AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of December 31, 20132014 and 20142015 and for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 20142015

Controlled Entities

Regardless of the nature of its involvement in an entity (the investee), CorpBanca will determine whether it controls an investee based on whether it has exposure, or rights, to variable returns from the its involvement with the investee and has the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the its returns.

CorpBanca controls an investee when it has exposure, or rights, to variable returns from the its involvement with the investee and has the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the its returns.

Therefore, the Bank controls an investee if and only if it has all of the following elements:

 

a)Power over the investee, i.e. existing rights that give it the ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee (the activities that significantly affect the investee’s returns);

 

b)Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee;

 

c)The ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor’s returns.

When the Bank has less than the majority of voting rights in an investee, but these voting rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to unilaterally direct the investee’s relevant activities, the Bank is determined to have control. The Bank considers all relevant factors and circumstances in evaluating whether voting rights are sufficient to obtain control, including:

 

The size of the Bank’s holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of other vote holders;

 

Potential voting rights held by the investor, other vote holders or other parties;

 

Rights from other contractual agreements;

 

Any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the investor has, or does not have, the current ability to direct the relevant activities when decisions need to be made, including voting behavior patterns in prior shareholder meetings.

The Bank reevaluates whether or not it has control in an investee if the facts and circumstances indicate that there have been changes in one or more of the elements of control listed above.

The financial statements of controlled companies are consolidated with those of the Bank using the global integration method (line by line). Using this method, allAll balances and transactions among consolidated companies have been eliminated upon consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include all assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses, and cash flows of the parent and its subsidiaries presented as if they were one sole economic entity. A controlling shareholder prepares consolidated financial statements using uniform accounting policies for similar transactions and other events under equivalent circumstances.

Non-controlling interest are also presented in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, within equity, separately from that of the equity holders of the Bank. Changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are equity transactions (i.e. transactions with the owners in their role as such).

An entity shall attribute profit for the period and each component of other comprehensive income to equity holders of the Bank and the non-controlling interests.

The financial statements of funds are not included in these consolidated financial statements except when the Bank controls the fund. AtThe Bank did not consolidate any funds as of December 31, 2013 and 2014 nor for the years endedor December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014, did the Bank control or consolidate any funds.2015.

b) Non-controlling interest

b)Non-controlling interest

Non-controlling interest represents the equity and net income in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the equity holders of the Bank. Non-controlling interest is disclosed as a separate line item within equity in the consolidated statements of financial position and as a separate disclosure within the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

c) Business Combinations and Goodwill

c)Business Combinations and Goodwill

Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred by the Bank, liabilities incurred by the Bank to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Bank in exchange for control of the Acquiree. Acquisition costs incurred are expensed and included in administrative expenses.

When CorpBanca and subsidiaries acquire a business, it recognizes the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in accordance with IFRS. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives from host contracts.

If the business combination is done in stages, the acquirer’s stake previously held in the acquired assets or equity interest, measured at fair value at the date of the respective acquisition, is remeasured at fair value at the acquisition date control is achieved and any resulting gain/loss is recognized.

Any contingent consideration that must be transferred by the acquirer is recognized at its fair value at the acquisition date. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that qualify as measurement period adjustments are adjusted retrospectively, with corresponding adjustments against goodwill. Measurement period adjustments arise from additional

information obtained during the “measurement period” (which cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date) about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date.

Goodwill is measured as the excess over the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of anynon-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer’sacquirer´s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the fair value of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable net assets acquired. If, after reassessment of its initial calculation, theacquisition-date amounts of the net identifiable assets acquired exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of anynon-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer’sacquirer´s previously held interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognized immediately in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain.

Goodwill amounts are established at the date of acquisition of the business and are subsequently measured at such amounts less accumulated impairment losses, if any.

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’sGroup´s cash-generating units (or groups ofcash-generating units) units if applicable) that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if there is an indication that the cash-generating unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the cash-generating unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognized directly in profit or loss. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

On disposal of the relevant cash-generating unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal.

Income, expenses and cash flows are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transactions.

The resulting exchange differences of translating into Chilean pesos the functional currency balances of the consolidated entities whose functional currency is other than the Chilean Peso, are recorded and accumulated as “Exchange differences on translation” within the line item “Accumulated other comprehensive income” in equity. On the disposal of those foreign subsidiaries, all of the exchange differences accumulated in equity with respect to those amounts attributable to the equity holders of the Bank are reclassified to income.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, transactions in currencies other than the Bank’s functional currency are recognized at the rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the closing exchange rates. Exchange differences on monetary items are recognized in net income in the period in which they arise. The amount of net foreign exchange gains and losses within the statements of income includes the recognition of the effects of fluctuations in the exchange rates on monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.

Exchange differences on monetary items are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise except for:

 

Exchange differences on foreign currency borrowings relating to assets under construction for future productive use which are included in the cost of those assets;assets, if any;

 

Exchange differences on transactions entered into in order to hedge certain foreign currency risks; and

 

Exchange differences on monetary items receivable from or payable to a foreign operation for which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur, (therefore forming part of the net investment in the foreign operation), which are recognized initially in other comprehensive income and reclassified from equity to profit or loss on repayment of the monetary items.

Assets and liabilities in foreign currency are shown at their equivalent in Chilean pesos, calculated using the exchange rates as of December 31, 20142015 of Ch$605.46710.32 per US$1 for the U.S. dollar and Ch$0.25320.2266 per COP$1 for the Colombian peso (Ch$526.41605.46 per US$1 and Ch$0.27360. 2532 per COP$1 as of December 31, 2013)2014).

f) Assets and liabilities measurement and classification criteria

f)Assets and liabilities measurement and classification criteria

f.1 The criteria for measuring the assets and liabilities presented in the statements of financial position are the following:

Measurement or valuation of assets and liabilities is the process of determining the amounts at which the elements of the financial statements are to be recognized and carried in the Statement of Financial Position and the Statement of Comprehensive Income. This involves selecting the particular basis or method of measurement.

Financial assets and liabilities are recorded initially at fair value which, unless there is evidence otherwise, is the transaction price. Instruments not valued at fair value through profit and loss are adjusted to subtract transaction costs.

Financial liabilities are valued generally at amortized cost, except for financial liabilities designated as hedged items (or hedging instruments) and financial liabilities held for trading, which are valued at fair value.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of December 31, 2013 and 2014 and for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014

The following measurement criteria are used for assets and liabilities recorded in the Statement of Financial Position:

 

Financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost:

The amortized cost of a financial asset or liability is the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition minus principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative accretion underamortization using the effective interest rate method of any difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount.amount, and minus any reduction (directly or through the use of an allowance account) for impairment or uncollectibility.

InFor the caseamortized cost of a financial asset or liability, the effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial asset or a financial liability (or group of financial assets amortized cost also includes adjustments for any impairment that may have occurred. Inor financial liabilities) and of allocating the case of financial liabilities, such asset is amortized using the effective interest rate method. The effectiveincome or interest rate method is which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receiptsexpense over the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition.relevant period.

 

Fair value measurements of assets and liabilities:

Fair value is defined as the price that will be received for the sale of an asset or paid for the transfer of a liability in a orderly transaction on the main (or most advantageous) market as of the measurement date under current market conditions (i.e. exit price) regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique.

Fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. For some assets and liabilities, observable market transactions or market information might be available. For other assets and liabilities, observable market transactions or market information might not be available. However, the objective of a fair value measurement in both cases is the same — to estimate the price at which an orderly transaction to sell the asset or to transfer the liability would take place between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions at which the market participant who holds the asset or liability could exit that asset or liability.

When a price for an asset or liability is not directly observable, the Bank will measure the fair value using another valuation technique that maximizes the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs. As fair value is a market-based measurement, it should be determined using the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including risk assumptions. As a result, the Bank’s intention to hold an asset or to settle or otherwise fulfill a liability is not relevant when measuring fair value.

A fair value measurement is for a particular asset or liability. Thus, when measuring fair value, the Bank takes into account the same characteristics of the asset or liability that market participants would consider in pricing that asset or liability on the measurement date.

To increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and related disclosures, the Bank uses and discloses a fair value hierarchy that categorizes into three levels the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1 inputs) and lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs). Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the similar asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

Assets valued at cost:

Cost is defined as the cost of the transaction to acquire the asset, less any impairment losses that may exist.

All purchases and sales of trading instruments to be delivered within the deadline period established by market regulations and conventions are recognized on the trade date, which is the date on which the commitment is made to purchase or sell the asset.

For“ForDerivative financial instruments” including foreign exchange forwards, interest rate futures, currency and interest rate swaps, interest rate options, and other derivative instruments, fair value is obtained from market quotes, discounted cash flow models and option valuation models, as appropriate. Derivatives contracts are presented on the statement of financial position as an asset when their fair value is positive and as a liability when the fair value is negative in the line item “Derivative financial instruments”.

Certain derivatives embedded in other financial instruments are treated as separate derivatives when their risk is not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract and the host contract is not measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income.

On initial recognition, derivative contracts are designated by the Bank as a trading derivative or as a hedging instrument for hedge accounting purposes.

The changes in the fair value of trading derivatives are recorded in line item “Trading and investment income” within the consolidated statements of income.

If the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument in a hedge relationship, this may be: (1) a fair value hedge of assets or liabilities or unrecognized firm commitments; (2) a hedge of cash flows related to recognized assets or highly probable liabilities or forecast transactions; or (3) hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation.

A hedging relationship qualifies for hedge accounting if, and only if, all of the following conditions are met: (a) at the inception of the hedge there is formal designation and documentation of the hedging relationship; (b) the hedge is expected to be highly effective; (c) the effectiveness of the hedge can be reliably measured and; (d) the hedge is assessed on an ongoing basis and determined to have been highly effective throughout the financial reporting periods for which the hedge was designated.

Transactions with derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recognized and presented as trading derivatives, even if they provide an effective economic hedge for managing risk positions.

When a derivative instrument hedges the risk exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability, the hedged asset or liability is recorded at its fair value. Gains or losses from measuring the fair value of the item hedged and the hedging derivative instrument are recognized in the income statement.

If the hedged item in a fair value hedge is a firm commitment, the changes in the fair value of the firm commitment with respect to the hedged risk are recognized as assets or liabilities with the corresponding gain or loss recognized in the income statement. The gains or losses from measuring the fair value of the hedging derivative instrument are also recorded in the income statement. When an asset or liability is acquired or assumed as a result of the fulfilling of the firm commitment, the initial carrying amount of the acquired asset or assumed liability is adjusted to include the cumulative change in the fair value of the firm commitment attributable to the hedged risk that was recognized in the statement of financial position.

When a derivative instrument hedges exposure to variability in cash flows of recognized assets or liabilities, or highly probable forecasted transactions, the effective portion of the changes in fair value with regard to the risk hedged is recognized in other comprehensive income. Any ineffective portion is immediately recognized in the income statement. The accumulated gains or losses recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to the income statement in the same period or periods in which the hedged item affect the income statement.

When a derivative instrument hedges exposure to variability in the amount of the Bank’s interest in the net assets of a foreign operation, the portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is determined to be an effective hedge is recognized in other comprehensive income and the ineffective portion is recognized in net income. The gain or loss on the hedging instrument relating to the effective portion of the hedge that has been recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified

The types of derivatives into which we enter are disclosed in Note 8Derivatives Financial Instruments and Hedge Accounting to these financial statements. They may include (please note description at Note 8) the following:

Inflation forwards and inflation swaps: These derivatives are used to hedge the economic value of inflation indexed structures such as having inflation indexed assets funded with nominal liabilities.

OIS – Swaps: These derivatives are used to hedge the economic value of long-term assets funded with short-term liabilities, fixing repricing of the short-term liabilities.

USD-CLP Fx Forwards: USD-CLP forwards are used to hedge U.S. dollar denominated assets which will be funded by Chilean peso denominated short-term liabilities.

(b) Available-for-sale financial assets.

(b)Available-for-sale financial assets.

Instruments available for sale are initially recognized at fair value, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, available for sale investments are measured at fair value less any impairment losses. Gains or losses from changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income within line item “Financial instruments available-for-sale”. When these investments are sold or impaired, the cumulative gains or losses previously accumulated in the financial investment available for sale reserve in equity are transferred to the income statement and reported under line item “Trading and investment income, Net”.

All purchases and sales of investment instruments to be delivered within the deadline period established by market regulations and conventions are recognized on the trade date, which is the date on which the commitment is made to purchase or sell the asset.

Investment instruments designated as hedging instruments are measured using the requirements established for hedge accounting.

(c) Held-to-maturity investments

(c)Held-to-maturity investments

Held-to-maturity investments are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Amortized cost is understood to be the acquisition cost of a financial asset or liability plus or minus, as appropriate, the principal repayments and the cumulative amortization (taken to income statement) of the difference between the initial cost and the maturity amount. In the case of held-to-maturity investments, amortized cost furthermore includes any reductions for impairment losses.

(d) Loans and accounts receivables from banks and customers

(d)Loans and accounts receivables from banks and customers

Loans and accounts receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, less any impairment.impairment if if applicable.

The amortized cost of a financial asset or financial liability is the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition minus principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative accretion using the effective interest method of any difference between the initial amount and the maturity amount, and minus any reduction (directly or through the use of an allowance account) for impairment or uncollectability.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial asset or a financial liability and of allocating the interest income or interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments and receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument or, when appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability.

f.7 Valuation techniques

Financial instruments at fair value, determined on the basis of quotations in active markets, include government debt securities, private sector debt securities, shares, short positions, and fixed-income securities issued.

In cases where quotations cannot be observed. Management makes its best estimate of the price that the market would set using its own internal models. In most cases, these models use data based on observable market parameters as significant inputs and, in very specific cases, they use significant inputs not observable in market data. Various techniques are employed to make these estimates, including the extrapolation of observable market data and extrapolation techniques.

The main valuation techniques used by the Bank’s internal models to determine the fair value of derivatives are as follows:

 

i.In the valuation of financial instruments permitting static hedging (mainly “forwards” and “swaps”), the “present value” method is used. Estimated future cash flows are discounted using the interest rate curves of the related currencies. The interest rate curves are generally observable market data.

 

ii.In the valuation of financial instruments requiring dynamic hedging (mainly structured options and other structured instruments), the Black-Scholes model is normally used. Where appropriate, observable market inputs are used to obtain factors such as the bid-offer spread, exchange rates, volatility, correlation indexes and market liquidity.

 

iii.In the valuation of certain financial instruments exposed to interest rate risk, such as interest rate futures, caps and floors, the present value method (futures) and the Black-Scholes model (plain vanilla options) are used. The main inputs used in these models are observable market data, including the related interest rate curves, volatilities, correlations and exchange rates.

The fair value of the financial instruments arising from the aforementioned internal models considers contractual terms and observable market data, which include interest rates, credit risk, exchange rates, the quoted market price of raw materials and shares, volatility and prepayments, among other things. The valuation models are not significantly subjective, since these methodologies can be adjusted and evaluated, as appropriate, through the internal calculation of fair value and the subsequent comparison with the related actively traded price.

f.8 Offsetting

Financial asset and liability balances are offset only if there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recorded amounts and the Bank intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

f.9 Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities

The accounting treatment of financial asset transfers is conditioned by the degree and form in which risks and benefits associated the assets are transferred to third parties:

 

1.If the Bank transfers substantially all the risks and rewards to third parties, as in the case of unconditional sales of financial assets, sales under repurchase agreements at fair value at the date of repurchase, sales of financial assets with a purchased call option or written put option deeply out of the money, utilization of assets in which the assignor does not retain subordinated debt nor grants any credit enhancement to the new holders, and other similar cases, the transferred financial asset is removed from the consolidated statements of financial position and any rights or obligations retained or created in the transfer are simultaneously recorded.

 

2.

If the Bank retains substantially all the risks and rewards associated with the transferred financial asset, as in the case of sales of financial assets under agreements to repurchase at a fixed price or at the sale price plus interest, securities lending agreements under which the borrower undertakes to return the same or similar assets, and other similar cases, the

transferred financial asset is not removed from the consolidated statements of financial position and continues to be measured by the same criteria as those used before the transfer. However, the following items are recorded:

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 a)An associated financial liability for an amount equal to the consideration received; this liability is subsequently measured at amortized cost.

 

 b)Both the income from the transferred (but not removed) financial asset as well as any expenses incurred on the new financial liability.

 

3.If the Bank neither transfers nor substantially retains all the risks and rewards associated with the transferred financial asset—asset - as in the case of sales of financial assets with a purchased call option or written put option that is not deeply in or out of the money, securitization of assets in which the transferor retains a subordinated debt or other type of credit enhancement for a portion of the transferred asset, and other similar cases—cases - the following distinction is made:

 

 a)If the assigning entity does not retain control of the conveyed financial assets: it is written-off the balance sheet and any right or obligation withheld or created as a consequence of such transfer is recognized.

 

 b)If the assignor entity retains control of the conveyed financial asset: it continues to recognize it in the balance sheet for a value equal with its exposure to value changes that might be experienced and it recognizes a financial liability associated with the conveyed financial asset. The net value of the asset conveyed and the associated liability is the amortized cost of the rights and obligations withheld (if the conveyed asset is measured according to its amortized cost), or according to the fair value of the rights and obligations thus obtained (if the conveyed assets are measured at their fair value).

In line with the foregoing, financial assets are only written-off the balance sheet when the rights over the cash flows that they generate are extinguished or when their implicit or ensuing risks and benefits have been substantially conveyed to third parties. Similarly financial liabilities are only written off of the balance sheet when the obligations that they generate are extinguished or when their associated risks and rewards have been transferred, with the intention of either cancelling them or reselling them.

f.10 Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets, other than those measured at fair value through net income, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired and impairment losses are incurred if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after initial recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’), and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of a financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. It may not be possible to identify a single, discrete event that caused the impairment.

For available-for-sale equity investments, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its costs is considered to be objective evidence of impairment. For available-for-sale debt instruments, objective evidence of impairment could include significant financial difficulty of the issuer or breach of contract (such as a default or delinquency in payments); the probability that the issuer will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organization; or the cessation of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.

Additionally, certain categories of financial assets, such as loans and receivables from banks and customers assets that are not deemed to be impaired individually are also assessed for impairment on a collective basis. For loans and receivables from banks and customers that are deemed to be impaired, the interest accrual is suspended, when there are reasonable doubts as to their full recovery and/or the collection of the related interest for the amounts and on the dates initially agreed upon, after taking into account the guarantees received to secure (fully or partially) collection of the related balances. Collections relating to impaired loans and advances are used to reduce the accrued interest and the remainder, if any, to reduce the principal amount outstanding.

For financial assets carried at cost, the amount of impairment loss recognized is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment loss will not be reversed in subsequent periods.

For debtequity securities included in the “AvailableAvailable for sale financial asset”asset portfolio, cumulativeshould a significant or prolonged decline in value occur, the impairment losses areloss is equal to the difference between theirthe acquisition cost (net of any principal repayment and amortization) and current fair value less any impairment loss previously recognizedand is recorded in the consolidated statements of income.income statement.

The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly with the exception of loans and receivables from banks and customers, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account (‘allowance for loan losses’). When a loan and receivable is considered uncollectible, and it has been covered with an allowance for loan losses previous to its write-off, it is written off against the allowance account by charging and releasing provision through the income statement. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the income statement.

When an available-for-sale financial asset is considered to be impaired, cumulative unrealized gains and losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to the income statement in the period.

For financial assets measured at amortized cost, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through net income to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized.

In respect of available-for-sale equity securities, impairment losses previously recognized in net income are not reversed through income. Any increase in fair value subsequent to an impairment loss is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading “financial instruments available-for-sale.”

In respect of available-for-sale debt securities, impairment losses are subsequently reversed through net income if an increase in fair value of the investment can be objectively related to an event occurring after the recognition of the impairment loss.

g) Loans and receivables

g)Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables from customers and loans and receivables from banks, both originally granted by the Bank and acquired, are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or defined charges that are not quoted on an active market and that the Bank has no intention of selling immediately or in the short term; they are valued initially at cost plus incremental transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

When the Bank is the lessor in a lease agreement and transfers substantially all incidental risks and rewards over the leased asset, the transaction is presented within loans.

j) Allowances for loan losses

j)Allowances for loan losses

Allowance for loan losses are determined on an “individual” basis when they correspond to customers that are individually evaluated, and considering their size or level of exposure make it necessary to analyze them on a case-by-case basis and, are referred to as “collectively evaluated” when they correspond to a large number of loans whose amounts are not individually significant and relate to loans to individuals or small-size companies.

The impairment losses on these loans are determined:

 

individually, for all individually significant loans and for those which, although not significant, cannot be classified as part of homogenous groups of loans of similar characteristics, i.e., by type of loan, customer’s industry and geographical location, type of guarantee, age of past-due amounts, etc.

 

collectively, for those with similar credit risk characteristics.

 

When the Bank determines that there is no objective evidence of impairment for an individually significant loan, it includes the loan in a group of loans of similar credit risk characteristcs and collectively evaluates such loans for impairment

Criteria for determining impairment losses may consist of:

 

becoming aware of a significant financial difficulty on the part of the customer;

 

when there is evidence of a deterioration of the customer’s ability to pay, either because it is in arrears or for other reasons, and/or

 

it becomes probable that the customer will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation;

 

observable data at a portfolio (collectively analyzed) level indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, although the decrease cannot yet be ascribed to individual loan in the portfolio – such as adverse changes in the payment status of customer in the portfolio or national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on the loans in the portfolio.

Write-offs

Loans and receivables are written off (the entire unpaid principal balance and related accrued interest balance) when we have determined that there is no longer any realistic prospect of recovery of part or all of the loans and receivable. The typical time frames from initial impairment to write-off are as follows:

 

Type of loans  

Consumer loans with or without collaterals

 6 months

Consumer leasing

 6 months

Other non-real estate leasing operations

 12 months

Other operations without collaterals

 24 months

Commercial loans with collaterals

 36 months

Real estate leasing (commercial and mortgage)

 36 months

Mortgage loans

 48 months

Initial impairment starts from the date in which all or part of the loans and receivables fall into arrears.

Pursuant to agreements to resell, we purchasethe Bank purchases financial instruments, which are recorded as assets under the heading “Investments under agreement to resell”, and accrete interest under the effective interest rate method through the maturity date of the contract.

We also enter into repurchase agreements. In this regard, investmentsInvestments sold subject to a repurchase obligation and which serve as security for the loan are recorded under the heading “Trading portfolio financial assets” or “Financial investments available-for-sale”, respectively. A repurchase obligation is classified as a liability and recorded as “Obligations under repurchase agreements” and accretes interest under the effective interest rate method through the maturity date of the contract.

l) Revenue and expense recognition

l)Revenue and expense recognition

The most significant criteria used by the Bank to recognize revenue and expenses are summarized as follows:

I.1 Interest revenue, interest expense and similar items

Interest revenue and expense are recorded on an accrual basis using the effective interest method.

The recognition of accrued interest in the consolidated income statement is suspended for loans individually classified as impaired and for those loans for which impairment losses have been assessed collectively. This interest is recognized as income, when collected, as a reversal of the related impairment losses.

Dividends received from investments in other companies are recognized in income when the right to receive them has been accrued and are presented under item “Income attributable to investments in other companies”.

The Bank ceases accruing interest on the basis of contractual terms on the principal amount of any asset that is classified as impaired. Thereafter, the Bank recognizes as interest income the accretion of the net present value of the written down amount of the loan due to the passage of time based on the original effective interest rate of the loan. On the other hand, any interest collected on assets classified as impaired is accounted for on a cash basis.

Nonaccrual loans are returned to an accrual status when: (i) in a period of at least four months a customer has made consecutive payments for past due obligations; (ii) future cash flow payments are consistent with expected future cash flows to be received; and (iii) the customer’s conditions improve after the original nonaccrual status classification.

I.2 Commissions, fees, and similar items

Fee and commission income and expenses are recorded in the consolidated statements of income based on criteria that differ according to their nature. The main criteria are:

 

Income/expenses arising from transactions or services that are performed over a period of time are recorded over the life of such transactions or services.

 

Income/expenses originated by a specific act are recognized when the specific act has occurred.

I.3 Non-finance income and expenses

Non-finance income and expenses are recognized on an accrual basis.

m) Property, plant and equipment

m)Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment consist of buildings, land, furniture, vehicles, computer hardware and other fixtures owned by the Bank or acquired under finance leases.

Property, plant and equipment for own use

Property, plant and equipment for own use are measured at acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Property, plant and equipment also includes assets received in lieu of payment which are intended to be held for continuing own use (See Note 1.n. below) and assets acquired under finance leases (See Note 1.o. below).

Depreciation is calculated using the straight line method over the acquisition cost of assets minus their residual value. The land on which buildings and other structures stand has an indefinite life and, therefore, is not subject to depreciation.

The Bank applies the following useful lives to the fixed assets that comprise its total assets78:

 

Item  Useful life
(Years)

Buildings

  75

Facilities

  10

Furniture

  10

Vehicles

  10

Office equipment

  10

Security instruments and implements

  5

Other minor assets

  5

The consolidated entities assess at the end of each reporting date whether there is any indication that the carrying amount of any of their tangible assets exceeds its recoverable amount; if so, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and future depreciation charges are adjusted in proportion to the revised carrying amount and to the new remaining useful life, if the useful life needs to be re-estimated.

Similarly, if there is an indication of a recovery in the value of a tangible asset, the consolidated entities record the reversal of the impairment loss recognized in prior periods and adjust the future depreciation charges accordingly. In no circumstance may the reversal of an impairment loss on an asset increase its carrying value above the one it would have had if no impairment losses had been recorded in prior years.

The estimated useful lives of the items of property, plant and equipment held for own use are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period to determine significant changes therein. If changes are detected, the useful lives of the assets are adjusted by correcting the depreciation charge to be recorded in the consolidated statements of income in future years on the basis of the new useful lives.

Maintenance expenses are recorded as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

n) Assets received or awarded in lieu of payment

n)Assets received or awarded in lieu of payment

Assets received or awarded in lieu of payment of loans and accounts receivable from customers are initially recognized at the price agreed by the parties, or otherwise, when the parties do not reach an agreement, at the value at which the Bank is awarded those assets at a judicial settlement. Such values approximate the assets’ market value as the valuations are determined from market-based evidence by appraisals undertaken by professionally qualified appraisers at the time of the receipt of the assets.

o) Leasing

a. Finance leases

Finance leases are leases that substantially transfer all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased asset to the lessee.

 

78 According to internal accounting policies, CorpBanca and its subsidiaries use the same useful lives, except for buildings in Colombia, which have a useful life of 2070 years.

o)Leasing

a. Finance leases

Finance leases are leases that substantially transfer all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased asset to the lessee.

When the Bank acts as the lessor of an asset, the sum of the present value of the lease payments receivable from the lessee plus the guaranteed residual value, which is generally the exercise price of the lessee’s purchase option at the end of the lease term, is recorded as loans to third parties and is therefore included under “Loans and accounts receivable from customers, net” in the consolidated statements of financial position.

When the Bank act as lessee, it shows the cost of the leased assets in the consolidated statements of financial position based on the nature of the leased asset, and simultaneously records a liability for the same amount (which is the lower of the fair value of the leased asset and the sum of the present value of the lease payments payable to the lessor plus, if appropriate, the exercise of the purchase option). The depreciation policy for these assets is consistent with that for property, plant and equipment for own use.

In both cases, the finance revenues and finance expenses arising from these contracts is credited and debited, respectively, to “Interest income” and “Interest expense” in the consolidated statements of income so as to achieve a constant rate of return over the lease term.

b. Operating leases

In operating leases, ownership of the leased asset and substantially all the risks and rewards incidental thereto remain with the lessor.

When the consolidated entities act as the lessor, they present the acquisition cost of the leased assets under property, plant and equipment. The depreciation policy for these assets is consistent with that for similar items of property, plant and equipment held for own use. Income from operating leases is recorded on a straight line basis under “Other operating income” in the consolidated statements of income.

When the consolidated entities act as the lessees, the lease expenses, including any incentives granted by the lessor, are charged on a straight line basis to “Administrative and other expenses” in the consolidated statements of income.

p) Intangible assets

p)Intangible assets

Intangible assets are identified as non-monetary assets (separately identifiable from other assets) without physical substance which arise as a result of a legal transaction or are separately identifiable. They are assets whose cost can be estimated reliably and from which the consolidated entities consider it probable that future economic benefits will be generated. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is their fair value as of the date of acquisition.

These intangible assets are recorded initially at acquisition or production cost and are subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated amortization or any accumulated impairment losses.

An entity will evaluate whether the useful life of an intangible asset is finite or indefinite and, if finite, will evaluate the duration or number of units of production or other similar units that make up its useful life. The entity will consider an intangible asset to have an indefinite useful life when, on the basis of an analysis of all relevant factors, there is no foreseeable limit to the period over which the asset is expected to generate net cash inflows for the entity.

An intangible asset is accounted for based on its useful life. An intangible asset with a finite useful life is amortized over its economic useful life and reviewed to determine whether any indication of impairment may exist. The amortization period and method are reviewed at least once every reporting period. An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortized and the entity will determine if it has experienced an impairment loss by comparing its recoverable amount to its carrying amount on a yearly basis and at any time during the year in which there is an indication that its value may be impaired.

r) Income and Deferred taxes

r)Income and Deferred taxes

The Bank and its subsidiaries have recorded income tax expense for each reporting period in accordance with current tax laws in the country where each subsidiaryof its entities and subsidiaries operates (see Note 15Current Taxes).

The tax expense on profit for the period includes the sum of current taxes that result from applying current tax rates to the taxable income for the period and the deferred tax expense recognized in consolidated profit or loss. The Bank and its subsidiaries recognize, when appropriate, deferred tax assets and liabilities for future estimates of tax effects attributable to differences between the book and tax values of assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the tax rate applicable in the period that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. The effects of future changes in tax legislation or tax rates are recognized in deferred taxes when the tax legislation is enacted or substantially enacted. The effects of deferred taxes for temporary differences between the tax and book basis are recorded on an accrual basis in accordance with IAS 12 “Income Taxes”.

Tax Reforms

On September 29, 2014, Law 20,780 was published in the Official Gazette. The Law introduces modifications designed to increase revenue collection, finance education reform, make taxation more equitable and improve the current tax system.

As of period end, the deferred taxes of the Bank and its Chilean subsidiaries have been adjusted based on the new corporate income tax rates contained in Law 20,780, published on September 29, 2014. The law progressively increases the tax rate to 21% for commercial year 2014, 22.5% for 2015, 24% for 2016 and 25% for 2017 and beyond for taxpayers applying the Attributed Income System. Taxpayers applying the Semi-Integrated System will have a rate of 25.5% in 2017 and 27% in 2018 and beyond.

(c)Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability in other comprehensive income.

t) Cash flow statement

For the preparation of the cash flow statement, the Bank applied the indirect method, in which, starting with the Bank’s consolidated income before taxes, non-cash transactions are subsequently added/ subtracted, as well as income and expenses associated with cash flows classified as investing or financing activities.

The preparation of the cash flow statements takes the following items into account:

 

a)Cash flows: the inflow or outflow of cash and cash equivalents, which includes Central Bank of Chile deposits, Domestic bank deposits, and Foreign bank deposits (includes Bank of the Republic of Colombia deposits).

 

b)Operating activities: correspond to normal activities performed by the Bank, as well as other activities that cannot be classified as either investing or financing. The Bank in this section includes among others, foreign borrowings, dividend received from investment, available for sale and held to maturity investment, etc.

 

c)Investment activities: correspond to the acquisition, sale or disposal by other means, of long-term assets and other investments not included in cash and cash equivalents.

 

d)Financing activities: activities that produce changes in the size and composition of the net Shareholders’ equity and liabilities that are not part of operating activities or investments.

In the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash balances and bank deposits plus the net balance of cash in the process of collection. Cash and cash equivalents balances and their reconciliation to the cash flow statement are detailed in Note 5 “Cash and cash equivalents”.

The provision for loan losses presented in the operating section does not agree to the amount presented in the statements of income because, for cash flow statement purposes, the provision for loan losses excludes recoveries of assets previously written-off.

u) Use of estimates

u)Use of estimates

The preparation of the financial statements requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In certain cases, generally accepted accounting principles require that assets or liabilities be recorded or disclosed at their fair values. The fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where quoted market prices in active markets are not available, the

The Bank has established allowances to cover incurred losses, therefore to estimate the allowances, they must be regularly evaluated taking into consideration factors such as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, trends in forecasted portfolio quality, credit quality and economic conditions that may adversely affect the borrowers’ payment capacity. Increases in the allowances for loan losses are reflected as “Provisions for loan losses” in the Consolidated Statement of Income. Loans are charged off when management determines that a loan or a portion thereof is uncollectible. Charge-offs are recorded as a reduction of the provisions for loan losses.

The relevant estimates and assumptions are regularly reviewed by the Bank’s Management to quantify certain assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and commitments. Revised accounting estimates are recorded in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any affected future period.

These estimates, made on the basis of the best available information, mainly refer to:

 

Useful life of material and intangible assets (Notes 13, 14 and 31)

Financial assets

A financial asset that is not recorded at fair value through profit and loss is evaluated at each period end in order to determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment. As of each reporting date, the Bank assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets may be impaired. Financial assets or asset groups are considered impaired only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more loss events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset and the loss event(s) had an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or asset group that can be reliably estimated. It may not be possible to identify a single loss event that individually caused the impairment.

An impairment loss for financial assets recorded at amortized cost is calculated as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted using the original effective interest rate of the financial asset.

Losses expected as the result of future events, whatever their probability, are not recognized. Objective evidence that an asset or group of assets is impaired includes observable data that comes to the attention of the asset holder about the following loss events: (i) significant financial difficulties of the issuer or the debtor; (ii) breach of a contract; (iii) granting of a concession by the lender to the issuer or the borrower, for economic or legal reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty, that the lender would not otherwise consider; (iv) high probability of bankruptcy or other financial reorganization; (v) disappearance of an active market for a given financial asset due to financial difficulties; or (vi) evidence that there has been a measurable reduction in the estimated future cash flows from a group of financial assets since initial recognition, even if it cannot yet be identified with individual financial assets, including data such as: (a) adverse changes in the status of payments by borrowers included in the group; or (b) local or national economic conditions that are linked to delinquency for group assets).

 

Individually significant financial assets are examined individually to determine impairment. Remaining financial assets are evaluated collectively in groups that share similar credit risk characteristics. When the Bank determines that there is no objective evidence of impairment for an individually significant loan, it includes the loan in a group of loans of similar credit risk characteristcs and collectively evaluates such loans for impairment.

All impairment losses are recognized in the income statement. Any cumulative loss related to available-for-sale financial assetsdebt instruments recognized previously in equity is transferred to the income statement, when considered to be significant or prolonged.in the circumstances noted in f.10.

An impairment loss can only be reversed if it can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized. Reversal of impairment on financial assets recorded at amortized cost and those classified as available-for-sale debt instruments is recorded in the income statement.

Non-financial asset

The carrying amounts of the Bank’s non-financial assets, excluding investment property and deferred taxes, are reviewed regularly, or at least every reporting period, to determine whether indications of impairment exist. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is then estimated. The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of the fair value less costs to sell, whether for an asset or a cash-generating unit “CGU”, and its value in use. That recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent from the cash flows of other assets or asset groups.

When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU, exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered to be impaired and its value is reduced to its recoverable amount.

Upon assessing the value in use of an individual asset or CGU, estimated future cash flows are discounted to present value using a before-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the specific risks that an asset may have.

As of each reporting period, the Bank will evaluate whether there is any indication that an impairment loss recognized in prior periods for an asset other than goodwill no longer exists or could have decreased. If such indication exists, the entity will once

again estimate the asset’s recoverable amount. In evaluating whether indications that an impairment loss recognized in prior periods for an asset other than goodwill no longer exist or may have decreased in value, the entity will consider at least external sources (significant increase in market value of the asset; significant changes in technological, market, economic or legal environment affecting the asset; decrease in market interest rates or other investment rates of return which are likely to affect the discount rate used in calculating the asset’s value in use, resulting in higher recoverable amount) and internal sources during the period (in the immediate future, significant favorable changes in the manner in which the asset is used or is expected to be used; and available evidence from internal reporting indicating that the economic performance of the asset is or will be better than expected, including costs incurred during the period to improve or enhance the asset’s performance or restructure the operation to which the asset belongs).

Impairment losses recognized in prior years are assessed at each reporting date in search of any indication that the loss has decreased or disappeared. An impairment loss will be reversed only to the extent that the book value of the asset does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

Goodwill

Goodwill is tested annually to determine whether impairment exists and when circumstances indicate that its book value may be impaired. Impairment of goodwill is determined by evaluating the recoverable amount of each cash generating unit (or group of cash generating units) to which goodwill is allocated. Where the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized.

Goodwill acquired in a business combination shall be allocated as of the acquisition date among the CGUs or group of CGUs of the acquirer that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination, regardless of whether other of the acquiree’s assets or liabilities are allocated to these units. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods.

In accordance with IAS 36 “Impairment“Impairment of Assets”, annual impairment testing is required for a CGU to which goodwill has been allocated and for intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. Different CGU and different intangible assets can be tested for impairment at different times during the year as long as testing for the named asset is carried out at the same time each year.

y) Provisions

y)Provisions

Provisions are reserves involving uncertainty about their amount or maturity. They are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position when the following copulative requirements are met:

 

a present (legal or implicit) obligation has arisen from a past event and;

 

as of the date of the consolidated financial statements is likely that the Bank and/or its controlled entities will have to disburse resources to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably measured.

A contingent liability is any obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed only if one or more uncertain future event occurs not within the control of the Bank and its controlled entities.

The annual consolidated financial statements include all material provisions with respect to which it is considered more likely than not that the obligation will have to be settled.

Provisions which are quantified on the basis of the best available information regarding the consequences of the event that gives rise to them, and are re-estimated at the end of each accounting period are used to cover the specific obligations for which they were originally recognized, and are reversed in full or in part when those obligations cease to exist or are reduced.

Provisions are classified into the following groups in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position based on the obligations they cover:

Employee benefits and compensation

Minimum dividends

Contingencies

z)Derecognition financial assets and liabilities

Accounting for transfers of financial assets is based on the degree and way in which the risks and rewards associated with the transferred assets are transferred:

 

1.If the risks and rewards are substantially transferred to third parties (e.g. unconditional sales, sales with repurchase agreements at fair value as of the date of repurchase, sales of financial assets with a purchase option deemed deep-out-of-the-money, use of assets in which the transferor does not retain subordinate financing or transfer any type of credit enhancement to the new holders and other similar cases), the transferred asset is derecognized from the balance sheet and any rights or obligations retained or created upon transfer are simultaneously recognized.

 

2.If the risks and rewards of the transferred financial asset are substantially retained (e.g. sales of financial assets with repurchase agreements at fixed prices or for the sales price plus interest, securities lending agreements where the borrower has the obligation to return the securities or similar assets and other similar cases) the transferred asset is not derecognized from the balance sheet and will continue to be valued using the same criteria used before the transfer. Otherwise, the following is recorded in accounting:

 

 a)A financial liability for an amount equal to the consideration received, which is subsequently valued at amortized cost.

 

 b)Both the income from the transferred financial asset (but not derecognized) and the expenses for the new financial liability.

 

3.If the risks and rewards of the transferred financial asset are not substantially transferred or retained (e.g. sales of financial assets with a purchase option deemed not deep-in-the-money or deep-out-of-the-money, use of assets in which the transferor assumes subordinate financing or another type of credit enhancement for part of the transferrer asset and other similar cases), the following will be analyzed:

 

 a)If the transferor has not retained control of the transferred financial asset, it will be derecognized, and any lights or obligations created or retained upon transfer will be recognized.

 

 b)If the transferor has retained control of the transferred financial asset, it will continue to be recognized in the Statement of Financial Position for an amount equal to its exposure to the changes in value that it may experience and a financial liability will be recognized for the financial asset transferred. The net amount of the transferred asset and the associated liability will be the amortized cost of the rights and obligations retained if the transferred asset is measured at amortized cost, or the fair value of the rights and obligations retained if the transferred asset is measured at fair value.

As a result, financial assets will only be derecognized when the rights over the cash flows have been extinguished or when substantially all implicit rights and rewards have been transferred to third parties. Likewise, financial liabilities are only derecognized from the Statement of Financial Position when the obligations they generate have been extinguished or when they are acquired with the intention to settle them or place them once again.

aa) Debt issued

aa)Debt issued

The financial instruments issued by the Bank and subsidiaries are classified in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position within “debt issued”, where the Bank has an obligation either to deliver cash or another financial asset to the holder, or to satisfy the obligation by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or other financial assetasset.

From this time forward, assets (or disposal groups) are measured at the lesser of book value and fair value less costs to sell.

Impairment losses after the initial classification of assets held for sale and gains and losses after revaluation are recognized in profit or loss. Gains are not recognized if they exceed any accumulated loss.

As of December 31, 20132014 and 2014,2015, the Bank did not have any non-current assets held for sale.

intends to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously which requirements were met by CorpBanca. The reclassification of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities was made to conform to paragraph 74 of IAS 12 which requires offset of such assets and liabilities when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity or different taxable entities when the realization of such assets and the settlement of liabilities are expected to occur simultaneously. Therefore, in the December 31, 2014 Statement of Financial Position, the Company reclassified MCh$104,341 of deferred tax assets as an offset to deferred tax liabilities and MCh$19,226 of current tax assets as an offset to current tax liabilities, respectively. Management has determined that the effects of these reclassifications are not material to the 2014 Statement of Financial Position. This presentation is consistent with the presentation as of December 31, 2015. Note 15 of these financial statements has been revised to reflect disclosure in accordance with such reclassifications.

Amendment to IAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation

On December 16, 2011, the IASB amended the accounting requirements and disclosures related to offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities by issuing amendments to IAS 32Financial Instruments: Presentation and IFRS 7Financial Instruments: Disclosures. These amendments are the result of the IASB and US Financial Accounting Standards Board (‘FASB’ undertaking a joint project to address the differences in their respective accounting standards regarding offsetting of financial instruments. The amendments to IAS 32 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014. Both require retrospective application for comparative periods.

The Bank’s management analyzed these amendments in detail and concluded that they did not have a significant impact on the statements of financial position, comprehensive income or cash flows or notes.

Investment Entities – Amendments to IFRS 10 – Consolidated Financial Statements; IFRS 12 – Disclosures of Involvement in Other Entities and IAS 27 – Separate Financial Statements

On October 31, 2012, the IASB published “Investment Entities (amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 27)”, providing an exemption from consolidation of subsidiaries under IFRS 10‘Consolidated Financial Statements’for entities which meet the definition of an ‘investment entity’, such as certain investment funds. Instead, such entities would measure their investment in particular subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with IFRS 9‘Financial Instruments’ or IAS 39‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’.

The amendments also require additional disclosure about why the entity is considered an investment entity, details of the entity’s unconsolidated subsidiaries, and the nature of relationship and certain transactions between the investment entity and its subsidiaries. In addition, the amendments require an investment entity to account for its investment in a relevant subsidiary in the same way in its consolidated and separate financial statements (or to only provide separate financial statements if all subsidiaries are unconsolidated). The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014, with early application permitted.

The Bank’s management analyzed these amendments in detail and concluded that they did not have a significant impact on the statements of financial position, comprehensive income or cash flows or notes.

Amendments to IAS 36 – Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets

On May 29, 2013 the IASB published “Amends to IAS 36Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets. The publication of IFRS 13Fair Value Measurements amended certain disclosure requirements in IAS 36 Impairment of Assets with respect to measuring the recoverable amount of impaired assets. However, one of the modifications to the disclosure requirements was more extensive than originally intended. The IASB has rectified this with the publication of these amendments to IAS 36.

The amendments to IAS 36 removed the requirement to disclose the recoverable amount of each cash-generating unit (group of units) for which the carrying amount of goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite useful lives allocated to that unit (group of units) was significant compared with the total carrying amount of goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite useful life of the entity. The amendments require an entity to disclose the recoverable amount of an individual asset (including goodwill) or a cash-generating unit to which the entity recognized or reversed deterioration during the reporting period. An entity shall disclose information about the fair value less costs to sell of an individual asset, including goodwill, or a cash-generating unit to which the entity recognized or reversed an impairment loss during the reporting period, including: (i) the level of the fair

value hierarchy (IFRS 13), (ii) the valuation techniques used to measure fair value less costs to sell, and (iii) the key assumptions used in fair value measurement categorized within “Level 2” and “Level 3” of the fair value hierarchy. In addition, an entity should disclose the discount rate used when an entity recognized or reversed an impairment loss during the reporting period and the recoverable amount should be based on the fair value less costs to sell determined using a present value valuation technique. The amendments should be applied retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014. Earlier application is permitted.

The Bank’s management analyzed these amendments in detail and concluded that they did not have a significant impact on the statements of financial position, comprehensive income or cash flows or notes.

Amendments to IAS 39 – Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting

On June 2013, the IASB published Amendments to IAS 39 –Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting. This modification permits the continuation of hedge accounting (under IAS 39 and the next chapter on hedge accounting under IFRS 9) when a derivative is novated to a central counterparty and certain conditions are met.

A novation indicates an event where the original parties to a derivative agree that one or more clearing counterparties replace their original counterparty to become the new counterparty to each of the parties. In order to apply the amendments and continue hedge accounting, novation to a central counterparty must happen as a consequence of laws or regulations or the introduction of laws or regulations. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014. Earlier application is permitted but corresponding disclosures are required. In accordance with IAS 8Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates an Errors, the amendments are to be applied retrospectively.

The Bank’s management analyzed these amendments in detail and concluded that they did not have a significant impact on the statements of financial position, comprehensive income or cash flows or notes.

Amendment to IAS 19 (2011), Employee Benefits

On November 21, 2013, the IASB amended IAS 19 (2011) Employee Benefits to clarify the requirements that relate to how contributions from employees or third parties that are linked to service should be attributed to periods of service. The amendments permit contributions that are independent of the number of years of service to be recognized as a reduction in the service cost in the period in which the service is rendered, instead of allocating the contributions to periods of service. Other contributions by employees or third parties are required to be attributed to periods of service either using the plan’s contribution formula or on a straight-line basis. The amendments are effective for periods beginning on or after July 1, 2014, with earlier application permitted.

The Bank’s management analyzed these amendments in detail and concluded that they did not have a significant impact on the statements of financial position, comprehensive income or cash flows or notes.

IFRS 2Share based payments

  Definition of vesting condition  Appendix A ‘Defined terms’ to IFRS 2 was amended to (i) change the definitions of ‘vesting condition’ and ‘market condition’, and (ii) add definitions for ‘performance condition’ and ‘service condition’ which were previously included within the definition of ‘vesting condition’. The amendments clarify that: (a) a performance target can be based on the operations of the entity or another entity in the same group (i.e. a non-market condition) or on the market price of the equity instruments of the entity or another entity in the same group (i.e. a market condition); (b) a performance target can relate either to the performance of the entity as a whole or to some part of it (e.g. a division or an individual employee); (c) a share market index target is a non-vesting condition because it not only reflects the performance of the entity, but also of other entities outside the group; (d) the period for achieving a performance condition must not extend beyond the end of the related service period; (e) a condition needs to have an explicit or implicit service requirement in order to constitute a performance condition (rather than being a non-vesting condition); (f) a market condition is a type of performance condition, rather than a non-vesting condition; and (g) if the counterparty ceases to provide services during the vesting period, this means it has failed to satisfy the service condition, regardless of the reason for ceasing to provide services. The amendments apply prospectively to share-based payment transactions with a grant date on or after July 1, 2014, with earlier application permitted.

IFRS 3Business Combinations

  Accounting for contingent consideration in a business combination  The amendments clarify that a contingent consideration that is classified as an asset or a liability should be measured at fair value at each reporting date, irrespective of whether the contingent consideration is a financial instrument within the scope of IFRS 9 or IAS 39 or a non-financial asset or liability. Changes in fair value (other than measurement period adjustments) should be recognized in profit or loss. Consequential amendments were also made to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IAS 37. The amendments apply prospectively to business combination for which the acquisition date is on or after July 1, 2014. Earlier application is permitted.

IAS 38,Intangible Assets

Revaluation method: proportionate restatement of accumulated depreciation/amortizationThe amendments remove perceived inconsistencies in the accounting for accumulated depreciation/amortization when an item of property, plant and equipment or an intangible asset is revalued. The amended requirements clarify that the gross carrying amount is adjusted in a manner consistent with the revaluation of the carrying amount of the asset and that accumulated depreciation/amortization is the difference between the gross carrying amount and the carrying amount after taking into account accumulated impairment losses. The amendments apply for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2014, with earlier application permitted. An entity is required to apply to amendments to all revaluations recognized in the annual period in which the amendments are first applied and in the immediately preceding annual period. An entity is permitted, but not required, to restate any earlier periods presented.

IAS 24,Related Party Disclosures

Key management personnelThe amendments clarify that a management entity providing key management personnel services to a reporting entity is a related party of the reporting entity. Consequently, the reporting entity must disclose as related party transactions the amounts incurred for the service paid or payable to the management entity for the provision of key management personnel services. However, disclosure of the components of such compensation is not required. The amendments apply for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2014, with earlier application permitted.

  Scope exception for joint ventures  The scope section was amended to clarify that IFRS 3 does not apply to the accounting for the formation of all types of joint arrangement in the financial statements of the joint arrangement itself.

IFRS 13,Fair Value Measurement

  Scope of portfolio exception (paragraph 52)  The scope of the portfolio exception for measuring the fair value of a group of financial assets and financial liabilities on a net basis was amended to clarify that it includes all contracts that are within the scope of, an accounted for in accordance with, IAS 39 or IFRS 9, even if those contracts do not meet the definitions of financial assets or financial liabilities within IAS 32. Consistent with the prospective initial application of IFRS 13, the amendment must be applied prospectively from the beginning of the annual period in which IFRS was initially applied.

IAS 40,Investment Property

  Interrelationship between IFRS 3 and IAS 40  IAS 40 was amended to clarify that this standard and IFRS 3Business Combinationsare not mutually exclusive and application of both standards may be required. Consequently, an entity acquiring investment property must determine whether (a) the property meets the definition of investment property in IAS 40, and (b) the transaction meets the definition of a business combination under IFRS 3. The amendment applies prospectively for acquisitions of investment property in periods commencing on or after July 1, 2014. An entity is only permitted to adopt the amendments early and/or restate prior periods if the information to do so is available.

The Bank’s management analyzed these amendments in detail and concluded that they did not have a significant impact on the statements of financial position, comprehensive income or cash flows or notes.

IFRIC 21, Levies

b)New and revised IFRS in issue but not yet effective:

On May 20, 2013, the IASB published the IFRIC 21,Levies.The new interpretation provides guidance on when to recognize a liability for a levy imposed by a government, both for levies that are accounted for in accordance with IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets and those where the timing and amount of the levy is certain.

IFRS 15,Revenue from Contracts with CustomersAnnual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018
IFRS 16LeasesAnnual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019

This interpretation defines a levy as “a resource outflow involving future economic benefits that are imposed by governments on entities in accordance with the law”. Taxes within the scope of IAS 12Income Taxes are excluded from the scope as well as fines and penalties. The payments to governments for services or the acquisition of an asset under a contractual arrangement are also excluded. That is, the tax should be a non-reciprocal transfer to a government when the tax paying entity does not receive goods or services in return. For the purpose of interpretation, a “government” is defined in accordance with IAS 20Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosures of Government Assistance. When an entity acts as an agent of a government to collect a tax, the cash flows received from the agency are outside the scope of this interpretation. This interpretation identifies the event which gives rise to the obligation to recognize a liability, which is the payment of tax in accordance with the relevant legislation.

IFRIC 21 provides the following guidance on recognition of a liability to pay levies: (i) the liability is recognized progressively if the obligating event occurs over a period of time; (ii) if an obligation is triggered on reaching a minimum threshold, the liability is recognised when that minimum threshold is reached. The interpretation is applicable retrospectively for annual periods beginnings on or after January 1, 2014.

IFRS 9, Financial Instruments

On November 12, 2009, theIn 2014 IASB issued a finalized version of IFRS 9 which contains accounting requirements for financial instruments, replacing IAS 39 Financial Instruments (IFRS 9). This StandardInstruments: Recognition and Measurement. The standard contains requirements in the following areas:

Classification and measurement: Financial assets are classified by reference to the business model within which they are held and their contractual cash flow characteristics. The 2014 version of IFRS 9 introduces a “fair value through other comprehensive income” category for certain debt instruments. Financial liabilities are classified in a similar manner to under IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, however there are differences in the requirements applying to the measurement of an entity’s own credit risk.

Impairment: The 2014 version of IFRS 9 introduces an “expected credit loss” model for the measurement of the impairment of financial assets, so it is no longer necessary for a credit event to have occurred before a credit loss is recognized.

Hedge accounting: Introduces a new hedge accounting model that is designed to be more closely aligned with how entities undertake risk management activities when hedging financial and non-financial risk exposures.

Derecognition: The requirements for the classification and measurementderecognition of financial assets and is effective from 1 January 2013 with early adoption permitted. IFRS 9 specifies how an entity shall classify and measure its financial assets. This Standard requires that all financial assets be classified on the basis of an entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. Financial assetsliabilities are either measured at amortized cost or at fair value. Only those financial assets measured at amortized cost are tested for impairment. Additionally, on 28 October 2010, the IASB published a revised version of IFRS 9. The revised standard retains the requirements for classification and measurement of financial assets that were published in November 2009 but adds guidance on the classification and measurement of financial liabilities. As part of its restructuring of IFRS 9, the IASB also copied the guidance on derecognition of financial instruments and related implementation guidance from IAS 39 to IFRS 9. This new guidance concludes the first part of Phase 1 of the Board’s project to replace IAS 39. The other phases, impairment and hedge accounting, are not yet completed.

On December 16, 2011, the IASB issued Mandatory Effective Date of IFRS 9 and Transition Disclosures, deferring the mandatory effective date of both the 2009 and 2010 versions to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015. Prior to the amendments, application of IFRS 9 was mandatory for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The amendments modify the requirements for transitioncarried forward from IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement to IFRS 9. In addition, the amendments also modify IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures to add certain requirements in the reporting period containing the date of initial application of IFRS 9.

As of December 31, 2013 and 2014 and for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014

On November 19, 2013, has published an amendment to IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” incorporating its new general hedge accounting model. This represents a significant milestone as it completes another phase of the IASB’s project to replace IAS 39 ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’. The new general hedge accounting model will allow reporters to reflect risk management activities in the financial statements more closely as it provides more opportunities to apply hedge accounting.

The IFRS 9 amendment to introduce the new hedge accounting model removed the mandatory effective date for IFRS 9 which will be set once the standard is complete with a new impairment model and finalization of any limited amendments to classification and measurement, both of which are due to be finalized in 2014. The standard is available for early adoption (subject to local endorsement requirements), but if an entity elects to apply it must apply all of the requirements in the standard at the same time. On transition the hedge accounting requirements are generally applied prospectively with some limited retrospective applicationMeasurement.

IFRS 9 (2014) was issued on 24 July 2014 and supersedesmust be applied in an entity’s firs annual IFRS 9 (2013), but this version of the standard remains available for application if the relevant date of initial application is before 1 February 2015

On July 24, 2014 the IASB has published the final version of IFRS 9 ‘Financial Instruments’ bringing together the classification and measurement, impairment and hedge accounting phases of the IASB’s project to replace IAS 39 ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’. This version adds a new expected loss impairment model and limited amendments to classification and measurement for financial assets. The Standard supersedes all previous versions of IFRS 9 and is effectivestatements for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018.

IFRS 14, Regulatory Deferral Accounts

On January 30, 2014 the IASB issued IFRS 14 Regulatory Deferral Accounts. This standard is applicable to first-time adopter of IFRS and for entities which are involved in rate-regulated activities and recognized regulatory deferral account balances under its previous general accepted accounting principles. This standard requires separate presentation of regulatory deferral account balances in the statement of financial position and statement of comprehensive income. IFRS 14 is effective for an entity’s firs annual IFRS financial statements for a period beginning on or after January 1, 2016, with earlier application permitted.

Management is still in the process of evaluating the potential impact of these amendments / new pronouncementspronouncements..

IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers

On May 28, 2014, the IASB has published its new standard, IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers. At the same time, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has published its equivalent revenue standard, ASU 2014-09.

The new standard provides a single, principles based five-step model to be applied to all contracts with customers, i) identify the contract with the customer, ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, iii) determine the transaction price, iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contracts, v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

IFRS 15 must be applied in an entity’s firs annual IFRS financial statements for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017.2018. Application of the Standard is mandatory and early adoption is permitted. An entity that chooses to apply IFRS 15 earlier than 1 January 2016 must disclose this fact.

On January 19, 2016, the IASB published final amendments to IAS 12 ‘Income Taxes’.

Unrealized losses on debt instruments measured at fair value and measured at cost for tax purposes give rise to a deductible temporary difference regardless of whether the debt instrument’s holder expects to recover the carrying amount of the debt instrument by sale or by use.

The carrying amount of an asset does not limit the estimation of probable future taxable profits.

Estimates for future taxable profits exclude tax deductions resulting from the reversal of deductible temporary differences.

An entity assesses a deferred tax asset in combination with other deferred tax assets. Where tax law restricts the utilization of tax losses, an entity would assess a deferred tax asset in combination with other deferred tax assets of the same type.

NOTE 2—2 - ACCOUNTING CHANGES AND ADJUSTMENT MEASUREMENT PERIOD IFRS 3

Management has determined the effect of the retrospective application as well as the effect of the finalization of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and non-controlling interest in the Helm Bank and subsidiaries acquisition were not material as of December 31, 2013 and 2014 and for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014.

a) Accounting Changes

No accounting changes have taken place in comparison with the prior periods presented.

b) Adjustment Measurement Period IFRS 3

The initial accountingpresented, except for the business combination by Helm Bank and subsidiaries (see Note 12 Investments in other companies) was incompletereclassifications noted at the end of the accounting period in which the combination occurred (December 31, 2013), therefore, the acquirer (CorpBanca Colombia) reported in its consolidated financial statements provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting was incomplete.

During the measurement period, the acquirer retrospectively adjusted the provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition date to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the date of acquisition and that, had they been known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized at that date. During the measurement the acquirer also recognized additional assets or liabilities, where applicable, as new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the date of acquisition and which, had they been known, would have resulted in the recognition of those assets and liabilities that date. The measurement period did not exceed one year from the date of acquisition (in our case August 06, 2014). There was no impact on the 2013 Consolidated Statements of Income.

5. Course of Business. Between the signing of the Transaction Agreement and the execution of the merger, the parties have agreed that both CorpBanca and Banco Itaú Chile have certain restrictions during that period, which consist fundamentally of continuing to conduct business in a way substantially similar to how they have been conducting business up to this point.

6. Shareholder Agreement. The Transaction Agreement contemplates, likewise, that when the transaction is closed in Chile, CorpGroup and Itaú-Unibanco will sign a shareholder agreement to regulate certain matters regarding the exercise of their political rights in Itaú-CorpBanca and matters regarding the transfer of shares:

It will establish that the board of directors of the merged bank has 11 standing members and 2 alternates. Of the directors that may be elected by the shareholders agreement between CorpGroup and Itaú-Unibanco, the majority will be proposed by Itaú-Unibanco, based on its shareholding and the remaining directors will be proposed by CorpGroup. The Chairman will be proposed by CorpGroup and the CEO by Itaú-Unibanco. Most committees with directors will be proposed by Itaú-Unibanco, based on its shareholding.

Likewise, subject to current regulations, CorpGroup undertakes to exercise its political rights in alignment with Itaú-Unibanco. CorpGroup will grant in favor of Itaú-Unibanco a pledge over 16% of the assets of the merged bank to guarantee the obligations undertaken in the shareholder agreement, with CorpGroup maintaining the right to exercise its political and economic rights that emanate from the pledged shares.

It will reflect the intention of the parties in the sense that the merged bank will distribute all available profits for each year after ensuring certain capital adequacy levels so that Itaú-CorpBanca complies fully with regulatory requirements and industry best practices.

It will also impose certain non-complete obligations on CorpGroup and Itaú-Unibanco with respect to the merged bank.

Lastly, regarding the share transfer, it will establish a right of first offer, a right to join third-party sales and the obligation to join third-party sales. It will also establish in favor of CorpGroup a sale and purchase right over 6.6% of the shares of the merged bank as a short-term liquidity mechanism, and a sale right as an alternative to keeping its interest in the merged bank. In both cases, the price will be market price with no premium, and will favor, as a first option, sales on the market through the Santiago Stock Exchange.

The close of the transaction contemplated in the Transaction Agreement is subject to obtaining the relevant regulatory authorizations as well as approval of the merger from shareholders of CorpBanca and Banco Itaú Chile in the respective extraordinary shareholders’ meetings that will be called to approve the merger.

On October 15, 2014, Itaú Unibanco, the controlling shareholder of Itaú Chile, reported in Brazil that the Brazilian Central Bank had authorized the transaction to merge with CorpBanca.

On December 26, 2014, the Colombian Financial Superintendency approved the merger. Completion of the merger continues to be conditional upon approval from the shareholders of Banco Itaú Chile and CorpBanca, as well as regulatory approval in Chile from the SBIF, in Panama from the Banking Superintendency (SBP) and the Securities Market Superintendency (SMV) and in Colombia from the Colombian Stock Exchange (BVC).

In accordance with current Chilean law, SBIF authorization must be issued after the shareholders of CorpBanca and Banco Itaú Chile approve the merger at extraordinary shareholders’ meetings.issuance.

c. Profit Distribution

In a meeting of the Board of Directors of CorpBanca held February 20, 2014, the board agreed to publicly communicate, as material events, the following matters:

The board agreed to convene an ordinary general shareholders’ meeting on March 13, 2014, in order to conduct routine business, as well as, among other items, approve the financial statements for 2013 that report profit of MCh$155,093 and approve the board’s proposal to distribute MCh$88,403 in earnings, representing 57% of 2013 profit for the period, which translates into a dividend of Ch$0.2597360038 per share to be distributed among all 340,358,194,234 shares issued by the Bank.

On March 13, 2014, in an ordinary general shareholders’ meeting, shareholders agreed to distribute MCh$ 88,403 in earnings, representing 57% of profit for the year. The remaining 43% was left as retained earnings.

Shareholders approved the distribution of dividends and agreed that all shareholders registered in the shareholders’ registry at least five business days prior to the date of payment shall be entitled to receive dividends.

The Bank records within liabilities (provisions) the portion of profit for the year that should be distributed to comply with the Corporations Law (30%) or its dividend policy (See Note 1.v).

d. Evaluation of Strategic Partnership between Itaú – Unibanco and CorpBanca Requested by IFC

On July 4, 2014, CorpBanca was informed by its main shareholder, CorpGroup, that on July 2, 2014, the International Finance Corporation (“IFC”) formally communicated its decision to hire an investment bank to evaluate the terms and conditions of the agreement to merge with Banco Itaú Chile and the subsequent taking of control of the merged bank by Itaú Unibanco. Hereinafter, hereinafter the “transaction”. This evaluation would be in addition to those already issued by investment banks Bank of America Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs that were taken into consideration by the Bank’s Directors’ Committee and board of directors in approving the transaction.

According to the IFC, this evaluation would be done within the framework of the entity’s analysis to decide whether to grant its consent, which is needed before the transaction can take place, based on the terms of the Transaction Agreement entered into by CorpBanca and its controlling shareholder with Banco Itaú Chile and its controlling shareholder. The text of this agreement was published on the Bank’s website.

On December 10, 2014, the IFC and IFC Asset Management Company notified that they are prepared to give their consent of the merger between Banco Itaú Chile and CorpBanca. They indicated that the merger is consistent with their initial investment strategy and will create an even stronger regional financial entity in Latin America with greater capacity to support companies and broaden access to financing in the region.

e. Analysis of Strategic Partnership by National Economic Prosecutor’s Office

In December 2013, after CorpBanca announced its intentions to seek a strategic partner, the National Economic Prosecutor’s Office (FNE) launched an investigation to “analyze the possible risks involved in such a transaction” in terms of free competition.

On January 29, 2014, CorpGroup Interhold Limitada and Itaú Unibanco announced that they had signed an agreement to merge their respective banks, CorpBanca and Itaú Chile. This transaction would involve a capital increase by Itaú Chile, leaving CorpBanca as the surviving entity.

On June 25, 2014, the FNE concluded that “it did not find this transaction to create a threat to free competition” and recommended the investigation be closed. This concludes the first major step in the regulatory processes that must be completed for the potential merger to take place.

f. Lawsuit Filed by Cartica Management, LLC

On July 4, 2014, Cartica Management, LLC (“Cartica”), a hedge fund and minority shareholder of CorpBanca that filed a lawsuit in the United States against CorpBanca, its directors and part of its senior management, voluntarily withdrew all lawsuits against several directors. On July 10, 2014, Itaú also filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit. On July 15, 2014, the defendants filed a joint motion opposing the petition for disclosure filed by Cartica as per the PSLRA9. Finally, on July 28, 2014, the parties filed briefs containing their responses in support of their respective motions. These briefs were concluded and the defendants expressed to the court that they saw no need for oral arguments.

CorpBanca continues to make progress on the merger process as scheduled and will firmly oppose any effort by Cartica to block the transaction. The Bank believes that it made the right decision in recommending the merger agreement to all shareholders. In addition to being the greatest strategic partnership any Chilean bank has attained, it will enable CorpBanca to take a qualitative step forward in the regional financial business. It also believes that the merger agreement with Banco Itaú Chile adds value for all shareholders of CorpBanca on equal terms.

On September 26, 2014, the Bank received the ruling from the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in which it fully dismissed the lawsuit filed by Cartica, including all actions against CorpBanca, its directors and executives, CorpGroup and its controlling shareholder.

Cartica sought to delay the proposed merger between Banco Itaú Chile and obtain compensation only for itself. The court rejected the petition for injunctive relief to block the transaction under U.S. federal securities laws. It also concluded that CorpGroup and Itaú had already disclosed the necessary information regarding its shareholder agreement and refused to exercise jurisdiction over Cartica’s claim of fraud under state law. Since the lawsuit was filed, CorpBanca has consistently stated that the suit has no ground.

g. International Bond Placement

On September 23, 2014, the Bank placed five-year bonds on international markets totaling MUS$ 750, with payment due at maturity and interest payments of 3.875% per annum payable semi-annually in March and September of each year.

The issuance and placement of these bonds was in accordance with Rule 144A and Regulation S of the United States Securities Act of 1933. According to these standards, the bonds did not need to be registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

The Bank agreed to place the bonds with a return of 4.022% per year, equivalent to a spread of 225 annual basis points over the five-year US Treasury Rate. The net amount from the placement will be used by the Bank mainly for general corporate objectives, particularly to fund loan activities.

h. Syndicated Loan

As part of the Bank’s global strategy to diversify funding, on July 22, 2014, it amended a prior syndicated loan, increasing the principal from MUS$199.4 to MUS$490, due in 15 months at a rate of 90-day Libor plus +85 basis points. Eleven banks participated in this transaction, led by Standard Chartered Bank; HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC., which acted as global coordinators.

i. Tax Reform

On September 29, 2014, Law No. 20,780 was published in the Official Gazette. This law introduced several amendments to the current system for income and other taxes. The main amendments include a progressive increase in corporate income tax rates for commercial years 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and from 2018 forward to 21%, 22.5%, 24%, 25.5% and 27%, respectively, for entities applying the semi-integrated system. Or, an increase for commercial years 2014, 2015, 2016 and from 2017 forward to 21%, 22.5%, 24% and 25%, respectively, for entities that choose to apply the attributed income system.

B. Hedge accounting

B.1 Fair value hedges:

The Bank uses interest rate derivatives to reduce the risk on certain items designated as hedged items, for example, long-and-short term debt issuances and assets such as commercial loans.

The Bank uses cross-currency swaps and interest rate swaps to hedge its exposure to changes in fair value of hedged items attributable to interest rates. The aforementioned hedging instruments change the effective cost of long-term issuances from a fixed interest rate to a variable interest rate.

Below is a detail by maturity of hedged items and hedging instruments as of December 31, 20132014 and 2014,2015, under fair value hedges.

B.2 Cash flow hedges:

Cash flow hedges are used by the Bank to:

 

a)Reduce the volatility of cash flows in balance sheet items that are indexed to inflation through the use of inflation forwards and combinations of swaps in pesos and indexed units.

 

b)Set the rate of a portion of the pool of short-term liabilities in pesos, thus reducing the risk of an important part of the Bank’s cost of funding, although still maintaining the liquidity risk of the pool.

 

c)It also sets the rate of funding sources at a floating rate, decreasing the risk that its funding costs increase.

Below is a detailed account of hedged items and hedging instruments by maturity as of December 31, 20132014 and 2014,2015, under cash flow hedges.

B.3 Hedging net investment in foreign operations:

The Bank has a foreign operation (New York Branch)Branch and Colombia) whose functional currency (US dollars)dollars and Colombian pesos) is other than the Bank’s functional currency. When translating the results of operations and financial position of this foreign operation into the Bank’s presentationfunctional currency, the Bank recognizes foreign exchange differences in other comprehensive income until it disposes of the foreign operation. For this reason, the Bank decided to hedge the foreign currency risk arising from its net investment in this foreign operation and has designated non-derivative financial instruments as hedging instruments. Gains or losses relating to the effective portion of the hedge are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading hedge of a net investment in foreign operation within equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in profit or loss. Gains or losses on the hedging instrument relating to the effective portion accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss on the disposal of the foreign operation.

Gains or losses on the hedge of the net investment in its foreign operation that have been recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are as follows:

CORPBANCA AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of December 31, 20132014 and 20142015 and for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 20142015

 

Where appropriate, we obtain collateral in respect of our loans and receivables from customers. The collateral normally takes the form of a mortgage (i.e., urban and rural properties, agricultural lands, maritime vessels and aircraft, mineral rights and other assets) and liens (i.e., inventories, agricultural goods, industrial goods, plantations and other property pledged as security) over the customer’s assets. The existence and amount of collateral generally varies from loan to loan, based on the credit worthiness of the borrower.

We review collateral fair values by obtaining appraisals on impaired secured loans every 18 months and on normal secured loans every three years.

We monitor collateral values between appraisals on an on goingongoing basis in order to capture any unusual significant changes (i.e., improved conditions in the real estate industry, changes in overall economic conditions, etc.) in market-based evidence used in the appraisals. In the event that unusual significant changes occur between appraisals, the collateral values are reassessed and recalculated.

During 2014,2015, the Bank has received assets such as homes, apartments, commercial and agricultural lands, among others, with a fair value of MCh$986 (MCh$3,550 (MCh$1,785 in 2013)2014) through foreclosure or judicial proceedings.

During 2015 there were no mergers and acquisitions. The following information is provided to supplement with respect to intangible assets, impairment, etc.

b.1)Business Combination Banco CorpBanca Colombia and Subsidiaries with Helm Bank and Subsidiaries.

 

 a.Overview

 

On July 4, 2013, the Chilean Central Bank (BCCH in Spanish) authorized CorpBanca to make an investment abroad consisting of the acquisition through its subsidiary Banco CorpBanca Colombia S.A. (domiciled in Bogota, Colombia, the “Acquirer”) of up to 100% of Helm Bank S.A., including its subsidiaries in Colombia, which provide complementary services through the subsidiaries Helm Comisionista and Helm Fiduciaria, Panama and the Cayman Islands (the “Acquirees”), with the purpose of subsequently merging both banks incorporated in Colombia; and for CorpBanca Chile (“the Buyer”) to directly acquire up to 80% of the shares of Helm Corredores de Seguros S.A., (“the Acquiree”, domiciled in Colombia). In terms of the subsidiaries owned by Helm Bank S.A in Panama and the Cayman Islands, BCCH did not directly authorize CorpBanca Chile to invest in them. It resulted as a necessary consequence of the acquisition of their parent company Helm Bank S.A. under the terms authorized by the SBIF. The SBIF established for CorpBanca Chile the obligation to liquidate the operations of the subsidiary incorporated in the Cayman Islands once it took control of the parent company in the shortest time possible and under the terms and conditions set forth in the relevant SBIF ruling.

 

As a result, CorpBanca Colombia committed to acquire the voting and non-voting shares of Helm Bank S.A. and subsidiaries. As part of the agreement, CorpBanca Colombia committed to acquiring up to 100% of the preferential dividend and non-voting shares (preferential shares).

 

It acquired, for merger purposes, 2,387,387,295 common shares, which represent 58.89% of the outstanding common shares (51.61% of subscribed and paid capital) of Helm Bank during the first close and 1,656,579,084 common shares, which represent 40.86% of the outstanding common shares (35.81% of subscribed and paid capital) of Helm Bank during the second close for a total of 4,043,966,379 common shares, which represent 99.75% of the total outstanding common shares and 87.42% of the subscribed and paid capital of Helm Bank, for purchases made on August 6 and 29, 2013.

 

On January 28, 2014, CorpBanca Colombia honored that commitment, carrying out a voluntary Takeover Bid (TOB) for the preferential shares as part of the third close, which was mainly designed to offer a liquidity and sales mechanism to the preferential shareholders under the same economic conditions that were agreed upon for the sellers of the common shares of Helm Bank under the SPA and to facilitate the merger process, enabling CorpBanca Colombia and its subsidiaries to expand their presence in the medium and long term as loan establishments in the Colombian market, obtaining a 12.36% interest and therefore retaining a total interest of 99.78% of subscribed and paid capital .capital.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of December 31, 2014 and 2015 and for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015

 

As explicitly legally required, CorpBanca Colombia and Helm Bank had to merge within the year following the date of the first acquisition of shares of Helm Bank (i.e. before August 6, 2014).

 

On July 1, 2014, the merger between CorpBanca Colombia S.A., as the surviving entity, and Helm Bank S.A., as the absorbed entity, was formalized. As a result, Helm Bank S.A. is dissolved without being liquidated and all of its assets, rights and obligations are transferred fully to the absorbing entity.

 b.Main Reasons for the Purchase

After receiving the necessary regulatory authorizations from regulators in Chile, Colombia, Panama and the Cayman Islands, the Bank took control of Helm Bank and subsidiaries through its subsidiary Banco CorpBanca Colombia. With the recent acquisition of Helm Bank and its subsequent merger with CorpBanca Colombia, CorpBanca Chile has consolidated its operations in Colombia, reaffirming its long-term commitment to this market.

For CorpBanca Chile, the Colombian market has great potential and significant room for growth in the banking business. Many Chilean investors have invested in Colombia and the Bank aims to assist customers with these projects, to strengthen long-term relationships with people and companies in that country, and also to provide peace of mind to our shareholders and investors by diversifying risks and earnings sources.

 

 c.Detail of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed

 

1.The fair values presented as of December 31, 2013, in the audited consolidated financial statements (see (1) in section 3.1 of the table below) were calculated on a provisional basis determined by skilled professionals that were independent from CorpBanca and subsidiaries (the Group).

 

2.In accordance with IFRS 3Business Combinations, if the purchase price allocation is accounted for provisionally, at the end of the accounting period in which the combination takes place the Group should report the provisional amounts of the incomplete items in its consolidated financial statements. During the measurement period, CorpBanca will retroactively adjust the provisional amounts recognized as of the date of acquisition to reflect the new information obtained regarding the facts and circumstances that existed as of the date of acquisition that, had they been known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of that date. During the measurement period, the acquirer will also recognize additional assets or liabilities if new information is obtained regarding facts and circumstances that existed as of the date of acquisition that, had they been known, would have resulted in recognition of these assets and liabilities as of that date. The measurement period will end as soon as the Group receives the information that it was looking for regarding the facts and circumstances that existed as of the date of acquisition or concludes that no more information can be obtained. However, the measurement period shall not exceed one year (in our case August 6, 2014) from the date of acquisition described above.

 

3.During the measurement period, the Group retroactively adjusted the fair values determined on a provisional basis in accordance with IFRS 3. (see (2) of section 3.1 of the table below).

This had no impact on the Consolidated Statements of Income for the period 2013.

(a)This business combination was accounted for using the acquisition method as of the purchase date, which is the date on which control is transferred to the Group. The Bank obtains control in an investee when it has exposure, or rights, to variable returns from the investor’s involvement with the investee and has the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor’s returns. Potential voting rights that are currently enforceable or convertible were considered when evaluating control. Due to its interest in Helm Bank, CorpBanca has the following substantive rights:

 

Voting rights in proportion to its interest in the companies.

 

The right to name or remove key members of management or others of the investees that have the ability to direct relevant activities.

 

The right to direct the activities of investees for the benefit of the bank.

 

(b)CorpBanca decided to measure the non-controlling interest in the acquiree at fair value. This value was estimated by applying the discounted cash flow method.

(e)The goodwill of MCh$ 198,253 recognized as of the date of acquisition was attributed to expected synergies and other benefits arising from the combination of the entities’ assets and activities. This goodwill was not expected to be tax deductible. The final amount of goodwill determined by adjusting the fair value during the measurement period increased by MCh$ 8,631.

 

(f)As of the date of acquisition, the fair value of loans and receivables (including loans and advances to banks) totaled MCh$3,015,395 and their gross amount was MCh$ 3,142,532.

 

(g)A deferred tax asset must be recognized as part of the purchase price allocation for the mercantile tax credit generated under Colombian regulations. This is based on a future tax benefit existing as of the transaction date to reduce the future income tax basis (i.e. this credit is likely to be recovered). This analysis is based on IAS 12Income Taxes. The amount for this deferred tax for the mercantile tax credit is MCh$ 27,990.

 

(h)As of the date of acquisition, a contingent liability with a fair value of MCh$ 3,703 was determined as a result of legal contingencies. As of the date of the reporting period, the Bank reevaluated that contingent liability and determined variations in its value, giving a final amount of MCh$ 1,054.

 

(i)The acquirer recorded and measured deferred tax assets and/or liabilities that arose from the aforementioned assets acquired and liabilities assumed in accordance with IAS 12. The acquirer accounted for the tax effects of temporary differences that existed as of the acquisition date, totaling MCh$47,832.

 

(j)The total consideration transferred in the transaction was MCh$ 596,004. Net cash received for cash flow purposes was MCh$ 246,759. In 2013 and 2014, the line item “Acquisition of Subsidiary Helm Bank, net of cash acquired” was added to the cash flow statement. This includes the net cash disbursement for the purchase of Helm Bank S.A. and subsidiaries, detailed as follows:

b.2) Business Combination – Banco CorpBanca Chile and Helm Corredor de Seguros S.A.

c)Business Combination – Banco CorpBanca Chile and Helm Corredor de Seguros S.A.

 

 a.c.Overview

As part of the transaction with Helm, Banco CorpBanca Chile, domiciled in Chile, acquired 80.00% of the shares with voting rights of Helm Corredor de Seguros S.A. (HCS).S.A.. This company, created January 16, 1985, is engaged in brokering insurance, under the supervision of the Colombian Financial Superintendency. It is domiciled in Bogota. This entity was common controlled by the same party as Helm Bank S.A. prior to its acquisition by the Bank.

 

 b.d.Main Reasons for the Purchase

With this acquisition, CorpBanca sought to expand regionally and simultaneously participate in the growing Colombian banking market as a complementary business whose potential is based on the sound economic prospects of that country.

 

 c.e.Detail of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed

The fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of Helm Corredores de Seguros S.A. as of the date of acquisition (August 6, 2013) was as follows:

 d.f.Important Matters Regarding the Acquisition

 

The same criteria described for the business combination between CorpBanca Colombia and subsidiaries and Helm Bank and subsidiaries in sections c.1, c.2 and 3.3 letters a), b), c), d), i), j), k), l) and o) were used for this transaction. No adjustments were made during the measurement period.

 

As of the acquisition date, no contingent liabilities were determined.

 

Since the acquisition date, during the 2013 period HCS contributed MCh$ 29 to net interest income, MCh$ 3,081 to net fees and commissions, MCh$ 3,111 to net operating income and MCh$ 901 to before tax profit for the period. If the combination had occurred at the beginning of the period (January 1, 2013), net interest and adjustment income of Banco CorpBanca Chile would have been MCh$ 457,716 and before tax profit for the period would have been MCh$ 232,600 (these amounts do not include the effects of the business combination with Helm and subsidiaries). In determining these amounts, management has assumed that the provisional fair value adjustments originated on the date of acquisition would have been the same had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2013.

 

The goodwill of MCh$ 6,171 recognized as of the date of acquisition was attributed to expected synergies and other benefits arising from the combination of the assets and activities of HCS. Goodwill was not expected to be tax deductible.

 

 e.g.Reconciliation of Carrying Amount of Goodwill.

Goodwill is tested annually to determine whether impairment exists (as of December 31, of each year) and when circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may be impaired. This impairment is determined by evaluating the recoverable amount of each cash generating unit (or group of cash generating units) to which goodwill is allocated. Where the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods.

The following table reconciles the carrying amount of goodwill at the beginning and end of the period:

e) Impairment

At each reporting date, Banco CorpBanca will evaluate whether there is any indication of impairment of any asset. Should any such indication exist, or when impairment testing is required, the entity will estimate the asset’s recoverable amount.

The entity will conduct impairment testing on an annual basis for intangible assets with indefinite useful lives as well as intangible assets that are not yet available for use, by comparing their carrying amount with their recoverable amount. Impairment testing can be carried out at any time during the year, as long as it takes place at the same time each year. Impairment testing of different intangible assets can take place on different dates. However, if that intangible asset had been recognized initially during the current year, it will be tested for impairment before the year ends.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of December 31, 2014 and 2015 and for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015

Impairment of goodwill is determined by evaluating the recoverable amount of each cash generating unit (or group) to which goodwill is allocated. Where the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized; goodwill acquired in a business combination shall be distributed as of the acquisition date among the CGUs or group of CGUs of the acquirer that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination, regardless of whether other of the acquiree’s assets or liabilities are allocated to these units. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods.

In accordance with IAS 36 “Impairment“Impairment of Assets”, annual impairment testing is permitted for a CGU to which goodwill has been allocated, or at any time for intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, at any time as long as they are carried out at the same time each year. Different cash generating units and different intangible assets can be tested for impairment at different times during the year.

CorpBanca and subsidiaries conducted impairment testing for unamortized assets, including intangible assets that are still not in use, and concluded that no impairment exists.

f) Determination of intangible assets with indefinite useful lives.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful life (license, trademark and database) arising from business combinations made by the Bank, were determined by evaluating the factors described in International Financial Reporting Standards highlighting the following:

Intended use of the particular asset, by the Bank, and whether (the) item (s) could (n) be managed efficiently by another management team.

The product life-cycle, as well as public information on estimates of useful lives of similar assets that are used when therefore similar view of their nature.

Expected performance of main competitors to the industry or market, whether actual or potential.

Ability and willingness of the Bank to achieve the levels of maintenance expenditure required to obtain the expected economic benefits of the asset.

Incidence of technical technological or commercial obsolescence or that otherwise applicable to the industry or market.

Period in which the asset is controlled, if it were limited, and the limits, legal or otherwise, regarding the use of the element.

Evaluation of the dependence of the useful life of certain assets over the useful life of other assets of the Bank.

The factors described are then used to perform the impairment tests carried out in accordance with IAS 36Impairment of Assets to unamortized intangible assets, see Note 31Depreciation, Amortization and Impairment, letter b)Impairment.

g) As of December 31, 20132014 and 2014,2015, the Bank and its subsidiaries have no restrictions on intangible assets. In addition, no intangible assets have been given in guarantee for compliance of any obligations. There are also no amounts owed by the Bank on intangible assets as of the aforementioned dates.

In September 2014, Law 20,780 was published in the Official Gazette. The law modifies the income tax system in order to increase revenue collection to finance education reform, make taxation more equitable and improve the current tax system.

One of the most important changes introduced by the tax reform is the creation of two separate taxation systems in the Income Tax Law: the “attributed income” system and the “semi-integrated” system. This law also called for a gradual increase in the corporate income tax rate from 20% in 2013 to:

Beginning in 2017, the applicable tax rate will depend on the tax system chosen. Taxpayers choosing the “Attributed Income” system will have a final rate of 25% while those choosing the “Semi-Integrated” system will have a transitory rate of 25.5% in 2017 and a final rate of 27% in 2018 and beyond.

The impact of this rate change on deferred taxes resulted in a credit to profit for the period of MCh$369.9.373 (MCh$369 in 2014).

2.-Methodology

Cost Method

To determine the cost of benefits, the method of the Projected Unit Credit (PUC) was used, according to the provisions of IAS 19 (revised 2011). Under the PUC method, the “projected accrued benefit” is calculated for each benefit. For all active members of the plan, the “projected accrued benefit” is based on the formula of the Plan and the years of service to the date of calculation, but using a salary average, social security benefits and others, projected to the age at which it is assumed that the employee will no longer provide services. The defined benefit obligation is the present value of the “projected benefits accrued”.

The service cost is the amount of benefits earned in the year by the active members as a result of a year of credited service value.

The interest cost for the year is the interest on the defined benefit obligation.

Method applied to assets

The plan does not have its own assets

(1)The inflation indexing is the result of changes in the Unidades de Fomento (“UF”). The UF is an inflation-index Chilean monetary unit with a value in Chilean pesos that changes daily to reflect changes in the official Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) of the Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas (the Chilean National Institute of Statistics) for the previous month. The effect of any changes in the nominal peso value of our UF-denominated interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities is reflected in our results of operations as an increase (or decrease, in the event of deflation) in interest income and expense, respectively.
(*)The mark to market adjustments are presented in this line for hedging derivatives used in hedging of assets except in the case of foreign currency hedges and cash flow hedges are cross-currency,(cross-currency), their all-in mark to market adjustment is included in the foreign exchange gain (losses) (See Note 27Net foreign exchange income (losses)).

(1)(*)Impairment for technological obsolescence as a result of new regulations on ATMs (decree 222 dated October 30, 2013 from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Public Safety of Chile), accounted for in accordance with IAS36 Impairment of Assets. See note 14Property, Plant and Equipment, letterb).

At each reporting date, Banco CorpBanca and its subsidiaries (the Group) will evaluate whether there is any indication of impairment of any asset. Should any such indication exist, or when impairment testing is required, the entity will estimate the asset’s recoverable amount.

 

(a)i.Financial assets

As of each reporting date, CorpBanca and its subsidiaries assess whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets may be impaired. Financial assets or asset groups are considered impaired only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more loss events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset and the loss event had an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or asset group that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include, among other examples, debtors or a group of debtors with significant financial difficulties, non-compliance or delinquency in principal or interest payments, the potential to declare bankruptcy or undergo another form of financial reorganization, or observable data that indicate a measureable reduction in estimated future cash flows, such as adverse changes in the status of past due payments or in the economic conditions related to such non-compliance.

CORPBANCA AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of December 31, 20132014 and 20142015 and for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 20142015

 

Non-financial assets15

ii.Non-financial assets11

The carrying amounts of non-financial assets, excluding investment property and deferred taxes, are reviewed regularly, or at least every reporting period, to determine whether indications of impairment exist. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is then estimated. The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of the fair value less costs to sell, whether for an asset or a cash generating unit, and its value in use. ThatThe recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent from the cash flows of other assets or asset groups.

The entity will conduct impairment testing on an annual basis for intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, as well as intangible assets that are not yet available for use, by comparing their carrying amount with their recoverable amount. Impairment testing can be carried out at any time during the year, as long as it takes place at the same time each year. Impairment testing of different intangible assets can take place on different dates. However, if that intangible asset had been recognized initially during the current year, it will be tested for impairment before the year ends.

Impairment of goodwill is determined by evaluating the recoverable amount of each cash generating unit (or group) to which goodwill is allocated. Where the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized; goodwill acquired in a business combination shall be allocated of the acquisition date among the CGUs or group of CGUs of the acquirer that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination, regardless of whether other of the acquiree’s assets or liabilities are allocated to these units. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods.

In accordance with IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets”, annual impairment testing is required for a CGU to which goodwill has been allocated and for intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. Different cash generating units and different intangible assets can be tested for impairment at different times during the year as long as they are carried out at the same time each year.

Upon evaluating whether any indication of impairment exists for an asset, the entity shall consider at least the following factors:

External sources of information:

 

(a)During the period, an asset’s market value has declined significantly more than would be expected as a result of the passage of time or normal use.

 

(b)Adverse conditions in the technological, market, economic or legal environment.

 

(c)Increase in interest rates.

 

(d)Market value of equity lower than carrying amount.

Internal sources of information:

 

(a)Evidence of obsolescence of physical damage of an asset.

 

(b)Plans to discontinue or restructure the operation to which an asset belongs, plans to dispose of an asset before the previously expected date, and reassessing the useful life of an asset as finite rather than indefinite.

 

(c)Decrease or expected decrease in an asset’s performance.

In the event of objective impairment, the carrying amount of an asset will be reduced untilto the recoverable amount if, and only if, the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount. This reduction is an impairment loss.

Impairment losses are recognized immediately in the Statement of Income unless the asset is accounted for at revalued value in accordance with other standards. Any impairment loss in revalued assets is treated as a decrease in the revaluation made in accordance with that standard. When the estimated amount of an impairment loss is greater than the carrying amount of the asset to which it is related, the entity will recognize a liability if, and only if, it were obligated to do so by another standard.

1.Goodwill Impairment Testing

The Group’s business combinations began in the first half of 2012, with CorpBanca Chile’s acquisition of Banco Santander Colombia S.A. from Banco Santander Spain1612. The acquiree’s name was changed to Banco CorpBanca Colombia S.A. Following a capital increase in which CorpBanca Chile did not contribute the same proportion as its initial interest, CorpBanca Chile held a 66.27% interest in CorpBanca Colombia and subsidiaries.

In the same period, Banco CorpBanca Colombia acquired 94.50% of the shares entitled to vote of Corpbanca Investment Trust Colombia S.A.13

Subsequently, during the second half of 2013, Banco CorpBanca Colombia S.A. acquired and took control of Helm Bank and subsidiaries, (this acquisition also enabled it to enter the Panamanian market), while CorpBanca Chile acquired 80% of the shares of Helm Corredor de Seguros S.A.Lastly, on June 1, 2014, the merger between Banco CorpBanca Colombia and Helm Bank S.A. was completed in order to operate as one single bank, taking advantage of the synergies generated as a result of each bank’s area of expertise and target business segments.

The Group has conducted annual impairment testing as of December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013. Upon evaluating whether indications of impairment exist, the relationship between its market capitalization and the carrying amount of its equity are among the main factors considered. The Group’s market capitalization is greater than the carrying amount of its equity (Price/BV around 2.2 and 2.3 times, respectively).

The variables evaluated in the projections used in the Colombia CGU take into account aspects such as:

External Variables

Gross Domestic Product (GDP)

Colombia has grown steadily since 2000 forward. In general, the Colombian banking industry should experience sustainedyears before the crisis of 2008, GDP growth was maintained at values between 4.5 and 7%, which were subsequently affected by the subprime crisis, and then continued in loan portfolios, backed by positive macroeconomic outlooks2011 with growth of between 4 and opportunity for growth. This is based mainly on the fact that the Colombian economy has reported sustained growth over the last four years, which4, 5%. 2015 is expected to continueend with a growth of about 3%, because of a general slowdown in comingthe Latin American economy, returning to values above 4% in 2017.

Unemployment

The unemployment rate in Colombia is a good indicator of economic development that have sustained in the past 15 years. Starting in 2001 with an unemployment rate of 15%, which has decreased to 9% in 2015.

Inflation and exchange rate

These variables have not been ignored by the improvement in the last 15 years. Except for the last two years that inflation has increased slightly to 6%. Since 2000, levels have declined and, in general, have remained in line with the inflation target of the Central Bank of Colombia.

Rising inflation in Colombia (2015/2014) is principally due to a devaluation of the Colombian peso, reduction of foreign trade and local economic slowdown. This, situation is reflected primarilycoupled with climatic effects (“El Niño”15) has punished crops increasing food prices 62% increase in currentthe previous year.

Economists expect this negative economic phenomenon will not last more than two years, counting on the end of El Niño in the middle of 2016, the stabilization of inflation to normal levels and the strengthening of GDP growth due to the competitive advantages obtained by the devaluation generated in recent months and the normalization of around 4.4%domestic demand.

Economic Sector

Regarding the most dynamic economic sectors, these were as follows: 8.7% construction, mining and quarrying with 4.2%, an inflation rate of around 3.0%, record low unemployment rates of 7.86%, increased bank usage rates that still leave room for growth, positive expectations from the construction sector that would entail expanding mortgagecommerce, repairs, restaurants and commercial loans, the latter of which is that industry’s main product.

hotels with 3.8% and financial institutions, real estate and business services with 3.6%.

 

16This transaction also included the acquisition of Santander Investment Valores Colombia S.A. (currently CorpBanca Investment Valores Colombia S.A.) and Santander Investment Trust Colombia S.A. (currently CorpBanca Investment Trust Colombia S.A.).
1714 The Group determined that its operating segments also correspond to its reportable segments. As a result, no operating segments were aggregated to create reportable segments.
15El Niño is an abnormal weather pattern that is caused by the warming of the Pacific Ocean near the equator, off the coast of South America. This occurs when the normal trade winds weaken (or even reverse), which lets the warm water that is usually found in the western Pacific flow instead towards the east. This warm water displaces the cooler water that is normally found near the surface of the eastern Pacific, setting off atmospheric changes that affect weather patterns in many parts of the world.

CorpBanca’s market share

Directly responsible for the momentum has been consumption registering a variation of 2.9% due to the growth of household consumption (3.3%) and the expenditures of government (1.8%) ; meanwhile, the sector with negative demand was that of the gross fixed capital formation wich suffered a sharp slowdown.

Portfolio

The growth of the portfolio of Colombian financial institutions is positively correlated with GDP growth (0.72) therefore it has grown and accompanied the development of the economy.

As for the composition of growth in the banking book it shows that 10 years ago, it was led by commercial and consumer loans (microloans have historically shown higher volatility). Currently, the credit growth rate has converged at approximately 15%.

Interest Rate

As for interest rates when bank penetration has been growing and competitive, they have been thus reducing also the spread of loans rates and deposits.

The intervention rate for the end of 2015 is expected at around the 4.5% level, half the expected rate for commercial loans.

Bank solvency index

The minimum solvency ratio required by the regulation in Colobia is 9%, demonstrating the banking industry showed a steady increase between 2000 and 2015 (11.7% and 15.2% respectively).

Banking services

Colombia in the item financial inclusion ranks second among a group of 55 emerging economies, but still has barriers, use and access issues that keep to Colombia at a disadvantage compared to other countries.

The last measurement to establish the level of financial inclusion has to Colombia in the 57th, Korea in first place and Brazil in 29th place (among 82 countries). This analysis also indicates the barriers to further financial inclusion (63rd); in access to financial services (54th) and use of the products (46th).

According to the Banking Association in Colombia (Asobancaria) today throughout the territory of Colombia has coverage of banking services. However, 51% of savings accounts are inactive, and another percentage is only used for state subsidies and that money is fully withdrawn when accredited.

In turn, financial depth, which indicates the level of access to credit with Colombians last October reached 43.3%, according to the Financial Superintendence of Colombia.

In terms of banking services, Colombia is located very close to the Brazilian rates (around 60%) but with a significant growth potential and is expected to report sustainedreach the level of Chile (around 80%) in less than 10 years, due to high levels of growth that have and will loan portfolios of consumer, commercial, mortgage and microcredit.

Taxes

Key assumptions used in calculating the recoverable amount

The values assigned to the key assumptions are an evaluation by senior management of future industry trends based on both external and internal sources. The key assumptions used in calculating the recoverable amount are summarized below and detailed in subsequent sections:

a.Projection period and perpetuity.

 

The recoverable amount has been determined using cash flows based on six -month budgets approved by senior management with a discount rate of around 12%. Cash flows beyond this time horizon have been extrapolated using a growth rate of around 5.0%. This growth rate does not exceed the average long-term growth rate for the market in which the CGU operates.

18An average discount rate is used since the estimate employs different tax rates because of the tax reform passed in Colombia in December 2014.

Cash flow projections correspond to 5 years (until 2019) after which time a present value is calculated for cash flows in perpetuity by normalizing cash flows. This normalization is performed to increase the payment of dividends used in perpetuity without reducing the solvency ratio.

 

The growth rate of cash flows in perpetuity is approximately 5.0% nominal (represents an approximate excess of 2.0 percentage points over inflation). Projected inflation for Colombia is around 3.0%.

e. Discount rate.

e.Discount rate.

 

In order to estimate the discount rate (Ke) and the weighted average cost of capital, the capital asset pricing model was used as a framework. This models sets the rate demanded by shareholders (Ke) equal to the risk-free rate plus a premium that the investors expect to assume for the systematic risk inherent to the company.

 

The risk-free rate corresponds to U.S. treasury bonds, specifically US GT 30 and GOVT.

 

The beta measures the share price volatility for a company with respect to the general securities market. It reflects the market or systematic risk, as opposed to the company’s specific risk. We have selected a group of listed companies that operate in the Colombian banking industry. In the search for these indicators, we concentrated on companies whose main activities are similar. The betas of shares used for each of the comparable companies were taken from the Bloomberg platform. In order to adjust for the financial leverage effect of the beta of each company, the betas were “unlevered”, based on the current history of the comparable company and its debt-equity ratio to give the asset beta of each company.

 

Taxes are projected at a rate of 39% for 2015, 40% for 2016, 42% for 2017, 43% and 43% for 2018 and 2019,2021, in accordance with the tax reform passed in Colombia in December 2014.

f.Dividend payments.

 

Dividend payments were used to maximize the cash flows of shareholders with the restriction that solvency (technical capital to risk-weighted assets) did not go below 10% for projected cash flow. This did not exceed the solvency limits required by regulators, which are in line with the market and future growth forecasts.

Sensitivity to changes in key assumptions used

In determining the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit analyzed, upper management believes that no reasonable possible change in any of the aforementioned key assumptions would make the carrying amount of the unit significantly exceed its recoverable amount.

Results of Impairment Testing

The Bank concluded that the recoverable amounts of the assets tested exceed their respective carrying amounts. As a result of this analysis, senior management has not identified impairment.

 

2.Impairment Testing of Intangible Assets with Indefinite Useful Lives

Licenses.License

The “with or without” methodology was used for the valuation, which reflects the difference between the values of the company based on the time it would take to obtain the intangible asset and, therefore, begin to receive cash flows. The key assumptions are detailed as follows:

 

a.Period of time to obtain the license. A period of 18 months was defined as the time necessary to obtain a banking license and, therefore, begin to generate cash flows.

 

b.Cash flows. The same flows used for the equity valuation model were used (i.e. dividend discount).

 

c.Discount rate: The cash flows were discounted at the same rate used in the equity valuation model described above. A spread of 1% is added for cash flows generated by this asset, which is in line with its nature and is presented as riskier than the average of the assets in the Statement of Financial Position.

As a result of this analysis, senior management has not identified impairment for this asset.

Trademarks.Trademark

The relief from royalty method was used, which considers the income attributable to the brands of Banco CorpBanca Colombia. It also considers a royalty equivalent to the percentage of income produced by the brands and the result of this cash flow is discounted to equity cost. The key assumptions are detailed as follows:

 

a.Evolution of contribution margin. The assumptions that govern the evolution of income and costs are the same used in the valuation of CorpBanca’s economic equity.

 

b.Tax Relief-From-Royalty. The royalty rate used is approximately 0.3%. The same tax rate described above is used.

 

c.Marketing expenses. This uses the assumption that for the brand to continue to generate cash flows, marketing expenses must be incurred, specifically around 21% of results after the effects of the post-tax royalties.

 

d.Discount rate: The cash flows were discounted at the same rate used in the equity valuation model described above. A spread of 1% is added for cash flows generated by this asset, which is in line with its nature and is presented as riskier than the average of the assets in the Statement of Financial Position.

As a result of this analysis, senior management has not identified impairment for this asset.

Databases.Database

For this asset, a value per user was estimated justified by the level of detail in the database and considering total customers for the Colombia segment.

Sensitivity to Changes in Key Assumptions Used

In determining the recoverable amount of the assets described above (in 2.1 to 2.3), senior management performed a sensitivity analysis under diverse scenarios and concluded that no reasonable possible change in any of the aforementioned key assumptions would make their carrying amount significantly exceed that amount.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AsOn May 29, 2013 the IASB published “Amends to IAS 36 Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets. The publication of December 31, 2013 and 2014 and forIFRS 13 Fair Value Measurements amended certain disclosure requirements in IAS 36 Impairment of Assets with respect to measuring the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014

NOTE 32—OTHER OPERATING INCOME AND EXPENSES

a) Other operating incomerecoverable amount of impaired assets. However, one of the modifications to the disclosure requirements was more extensive than originally intended. The IASB has rectified this with the publication of these amendments to IAS 36.

The detailamendments to IAS 36 removed the requirement to disclose the recoverable amount of other operating incomeeach cash-generating unit (group of units) for which the carrying amount of goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite useful lives allocated to that unit (group of units) was significant compared with the total carrying amount of goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite useful life of the entity. The amendments require an entity to disclose the recoverable amount of an individual asset (including goodwill) or a cash-generating unit to which the entity recognized or reversed deterioration during the reporting period. An entity shall disclose information about the fair value less costs to sell of an individual asset, including goodwill, or a cash-generating unit to which the entity recognized or reversed an impairment loss during the reporting period, including: (i) the level of the fair value hierarchy (IFRS 13), (ii) the valuation techniques used to measure fair value less costs to sell, and (iii) the key assumptions used in fair value measurement categorized within “Level 2” and “Level 3” of the fair value hierarchy. In addition, an entity should disclose the discount rate used when an entity recognized or reversed an impairment loss during the reporting period and the recoverable amount should be based on the fair value less costs to sell determined using a present value valuation technique. The amendments should be applied retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014. Earlier application is as follows:permitted.

NOTE 34—34 - FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE

This disclosure was prepared based on the guidelines “Fair Value of Financial Instruments” from the IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurements”.

The following section details the main guidelines and definitions used by the Group:

Fair value.value: The price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e. an exit price). The transaction is carried out in the principal1916 or most advantageous2017 market and is not forced (i.e. it does not consider factors specific to the Group that may influence a real transaction).

Market participants.participants: Buyers and sellers in the principal (or most advantageous) market for the asset or liability that have all of the following characteristics:

 

a.They are independent of each other, i.e. they are not related parties as defined in IAS 24 “Related Party Disclosures”, although the price in a related party transaction may be used as an input to a fair value measurement if the entity has evidence that the transaction was entered into at market terms.

 

b.They are knowledgeable, having a reasonable understanding about the asset or liability and the transaction using all available information, including information that might be obtained through due diligence efforts that are usual and customary.

 

c.They are able to enter into a transaction for the asset or liability.

 

d.They are willing to enter into a transaction for the asset or liability (i.e. they are motivated, but not forced or otherwise compelled, to do so).

Fair value measurementmeasurement: When measuring fair value, the Group takes into account the same characteristics of the asset or liability that market participants would consider in pricing that asset or liability on the measurement date.

Aspects of the transaction.transaction: A fair value measurement assumes that the asset or liability is exchanged in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell the asset or transfer the liability at the measurement date under current market conditions. The measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place: (a) on the principal market for the asset or liability; or (b) in the absence of a principal market, on the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

Market participants.participants: The fair value measurement measures the fair value of the asset or liability using the assumptions that the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, assuming that the participants act in their best economic interest.

Prices.Prices: Fair value is the price that will be received for the sale of an asset or paid for the transfer of a liability in a orderly transaction on the main (or most advantageous) market as of the measurement date under current market conditions (i.e. exit price) regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique.

Highest and best use of non-financial assets.assets: The fair value measurement of these assets takes into account the market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits through the highest and best use of the asset or through the sale of the asset to another market participant that would maximize the value of the asset.

Group’s own liabilities and equity instruments: The fair value measurement assumes that these items are transferred to a market participant on the date of measurement. The transfer of these items assumes that:

 

1916 The market with the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset or liability.
2017 The market that maximizes the amount that would be received to sell the asset or minimizes the amount that would be paid to transfer the liability, after taking into account transaction costs and transport costs.

CORPBANCA AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of December 31, 20132014 and 20142015 and for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 20142015

Group’s own liabilities and equity instruments. The fair value measurement assumes that these items are transferred to a market participant on the date of measurement. The transfer of these items assumes that:

 

a.A liability would remain outstanding and the market participant transferee would be required to fulfill the obligation. The liability would not be settled with the counterparty or otherwise extinguished on the measurement date.

 

b.An entity’s own equity instrument would remain outstanding and the market participant transferee would take on the rights and responsibilities associated with the instrument. The instrument would not be canceled or otherwise extinguished on the measurement date.

Default risk.risk: The fair value of a liability reflects the effect of the default risk. This risk includes, but is not limited to, the entity’s own credit risk. This risk is assumed to be the same before and after the liability is transferred.

Initial recognition.recognition: When an asset is acquired or a liability assumed in an exchange transaction involving that asset or liability, the transaction price is the price paid to acquire the asset or received to assume the liability (the entry price). In contrast, the fair value of the asset or liability is the price received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability (the exit price). Entities do not necessarily sell assets at the prices paid to acquire them. Likewise, they do not necessarily transfer liabilities at the price received to assume them.

Valuation techniques.techniques: The Bank will use techniques that are appropriate for the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available to measure the fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs. The following approaches deserve mention:

 

a.Market approach. Uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable (similar) assets, liabilities, or a group of assets and liabilities (e.g. a business).

 

b.Cost approach. Reflects the amount that would be required currently to replace the service capacity of an asset (current replacement cost).

 

c.Income approach. Converts future amounts (cash flows or income and expenses) to a single current (discounted) amount, reflecting current market expectations about those future amounts. The fair value measurement is determined based on the value indicated by the current market expectations about those future amounts.

Present value techniques.techniques: Technique to adjust the discount rate and expected cash flows (expected present value). The present value technique used to measure the fair value will depend on the specific facts and circumstances of the asset or liability being measured and the availability of sufficient data.

Components of the present value measurement.measurement: Present value is the tool used to link future amounts (e.g. cash flows or values) to a present amount using a discount rate. A fair value measurement of an asset or a liability using a present value technique captures all the following elements from the perspective of market participants at the measurement date:

 

a.An estimate of future cash flows for the asset or liability being measured.

 

b.Expectations about possible variations in the amount and timing of the cash flows representing the uncertainty inherent in the cash flows.

 

c.The time value of money, represented by the rate on risk-free monetary assets that have maturity dates or durations that coincide with the period covered by the cash flows and pose neither uncertainty in timing nor risk of default to the holder (i.e. a risk-free interest rate).

 

d.The price for bearing the uncertainty inherent in the cash flows (i.e. a risk premium).

 

e.Other factors that market participants would take into account in the circumstances.

 

f.For a liability, the non-performance risk relating to that liability, including the entity’s (i.e. the debtor’s) own credit risk.

Fair value hierarchy.hierarchy;Gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1 inputs) and lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs). Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Financial Instruments

The estimated fair value of these financial instruments is determined using quotes and transactions observed in the main market for identical instruments, or in their absence, for similar instruments. Fair value estimates of debt instruments or securities representative of debt take into account additional variables and inputs to the extent that they apply, including estimates of prepayment rates and the credit risk of issuers. These financial instruments are classified as follows:

Derivative instruments

The estimated fair value of derivative instruments is calculated using prices quoted on the market for financial instruments of similar characteristics.

The methodology therefore recognizes the credit risk of each counterparty.

The effect of both CVA (counterparty valuation adjustement) and DVA (negative counterparty valuation adjustement)adjustment) are incorporated in the valuation of a derivatives contracts.

1.2 Fair value hierarchy2118

IFRS 13 establishes a fair value hierarchy that classifies assets and liabilities based on the characteristics of the data that the technique requires for its valuation:

Level 1: inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Entity can access at the measurement date. The inputs needed to value the instruments in this category are available daily and used directly.

In the case of currency, shares and mutual funds, prices are observed directly in markets and the stock exchange. These prices correspond to the values at which the exact same assets are traded. As a result, the portfolio valuation does not require assumptions or models of any type.

For instruments issued by the Chilean Central Bank and the Chilean Treasury, prices are derived from identical assets or liabilities traded on an active market.

 

Level 2: inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

The specific instrument does not have daily quotes. However, similar instruments can be observed (e.g. same issuer, different maturity; or different issuer, same maturity and risk rating). Although the inputs are not directly observable, observable inputs are available with the needed frequency of usage.

In this category, instruments are valued by discounting contractual cash flows based on a zero-coupon curve determined through the price of instruments with similar characteristics and a similar issuer risk. The income approach is used, which converts future amounts to present amounts.

For derivative instruments within this category, quotes from over-the-counter transactions reported by the most important brokers in the Chilean market and the Bloomberg platform are used. The inputs observed include forward prices, interest rates and volatilities. Based on these inputs, market curves are modeled. They are a numerical representation of the opportunity costs of the instrument’s cash flows or the price volatility of an asset. Finally, cash flows are discounted.

The Black and Scholes model is used for options based on prices of brokers in the OTCOver-The-Counter market.

For money market instruments, prices of transactions on the Santiago Stock Exchange are observed and used to model market curves.

18Level 2 and level 1 hierarchy instruments are not subject to adjustments of liquidity and credit spread because prices for such instruments are observed on active markets.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of December 31, 2014 and 2015 and for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015

For corporate or bank bonds, given the lack of market depth, the Bank uses transactions (if any) in the Chilean market, on foreign markets, zero-coupon curves of risk-free instruments, adjustment curves, spread modeling, correlation with similar financial instruments, etc. and givescreates market curves asfor use in the final result.

 

Level 3: inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

This is used when prices, data or necessary inputs are not directly or indirectly observable for similar instruments for the asset or liability as of the valuation date. These fair value valuation models include liquidity and credit spread adjustments, over an OIS CLP swap curve. Additionally The Group has two derivativesderivative products in this category:

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of December 31, 2013 and 2014 and for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014

Due to the lack of liquidity in the basis of the active banking rate (TAB) over the counter,, the price is not observable and, therefore, models must be used to estimate the future cash flows of the contract. This spread is calculated on a historical basis using the Interest Rate Swap with the greatest market depth.

In addition, the Bank develops American forwards to meet its customers’ needs. They do not have a secondary market and, therefore, their value is estimated using an extension of the Hull-White model, used widely by the financial services industry.

None of these products generate significant impacts on the Bank’s results as a result of recalibration. The TAB swap does not have significant impacts on the valuation as the parameters are stable and the reversal to a historic average is empirically quick, which this model reflects correctly. On the other hand, the American forward behaves like a traditional forward when there is an important curve differential, which is the case between the Chilean peso-US dollar curve. Also, the model’s parameters are very stable.

The table below summarizes the impacts on the portfolio of a recalibration of the models based on a stress scenario, recalibrating parameters with the shock incorporated.

1.2.2 Disclosures regarding level 3 assets and liablilities

Level 3 assets and liabilities are valued using techniques that require inputs that are not observable on the market, for which the income approach is used to convert future amounts to present amounts.

This category includes:

 

Derivative financial instruments indexed to the TAB rate. This rate is comprised of an interbank rate and a liquidity premium charged to financial institutions and is determined using a short-rate model with mean reversion.

 

American forward options.

As none of these products has a market, the Bank uses valuation techniques which incorporate unobservable input.

CORPBANCA AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of December 31, 20132014 and 20142015 and for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 20142015

 

These techniques use the following inputs: transaction prices from the main financial instrument markets and assumptions that are widely accepted by the financial services industry. Using this information, unobservable variables are constructed such as: adjustment curves, spreads, volatilities and other variables necessary for the valuation. Lastly, all of the models are subject to internal contrasts by independent areas and have been reviewed by internal auditors and regulators.

None of these products generate significant impacts on the Bank’s results as a result of recalibration. The American forward is only offered for the US dollar-Chilean peso market and until now, given the important differential between these interest rates, the product behaves like a traditional forward. The TAB swap does not have significant impacts on the valuation as the modeled liquidity premiums have a quick mean reversion for the short part and low volatility for the long part, concentrating on the book’s sensitivity in the longest part of the curve. The following table reconciles assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of year-end 20142015 and 2013.2014.

NOTE 35—35- RISK MANAGEMENT

1. Introduction:

1.Introduction:

As a result of its activities, the Bank is exposed to several types of risks mainly related to its loan portfolio and financial instruments. The following sections describe the Bank’s main business activities and policies as they relate to risk management.

Risk Management Structure:

Board of Directors

At CorpBanca, the Board of Directors plays a leading role in corporate governance. They are responsible for establishing and monitoring the Bank’s risk management structure, for which it has a corporate governance system aligned with international best practices and Chilean regulations, mainly from the SBIF. One of the principal functions of the Board of Directors is to monitor, evaluate and guide upper management to ensure that their actions are in line with best practices. To accomplish this, various Committees, support areas, codes and manuals have been developed, which lay out behavioral guidelines for the Bank’s associates and assist them in carrying out their functions related to controlling and managing the Bank’s risks.

Directors’ and Audit Committee

The purpose of the Directors Committee is to strengthen self-regulation within the Bank, thus improving the efficiency of the directors’ supervisory activities. This committee is responsible for, among other functions, examining accounting and financial reports, transactions with related parties and compensation of managers and senior executives.

The Audit Committee’s objective is to promote efficiency within the Bank’s internal control systems and compliance with regulations. In addition, it must reinforce and support both the function of the Bank’s Office of the Comptroller and its independence from management and serve, at the same time, as a bridge between the internal audit department and the external auditors as well as between these two groups and the Board of Directors.

At a meeting of the Board of Directors on August 30, 2011, the board agreed that the Directors’ Committee would take on additional functions of an audit committee and its name would be changed to the Directors’-Audit Committee.

Corporate Governance Committee

2.1 Quantitative and qualitative information about Credit Risk:

For CorpBanca, proper risk management in all areas, particularly regarding credit risk, is one of the core pillars of the Bank’s portfolio management efforts, striving to maintain a proper risk/return ratio.

CorpBanca’s credit risk management is based on the following key elements:

 

Loan policies.

 

Loan approval processes.

 

Sound risk culture that is consistent with the Bank’s strategy.

 

Regulatory and preventativepreventive outlook on risk.

 

Human resources with considerable expertise in loan-related decision making.

 

Active participation from Credit Risk Division in the approval process, using a market segmented structure.

 

Defined monitoring and collections processes with involvement from the Commercial, Risk, Rating and Asset Control Areas.

 

Dissemination of a risk culture throughout the Bank with internal and external training programs for the Commercial and Risk Areas.

 

The Companies Risk Division fulfills a checks-and-balances function for the commercial areas.

The Bank also has Credit Committees, which include Risk Managers, that determine debtor risk ratings. The Bank also has Credit Committees, which include Risk Managers, that determine debtor risk ratings.

These committees define individual and group exposure levels with customers as well as mitigating conditions such as collateral, loan agreements, etc.

The Bank’s risk management tool divides its portfolio into the following categories:

Normal Risk Portfolio

Watch List Portfolio

Default Portfolio

Normal Risk Portfolio

The risk involved is reviewed at the following times:

 

For each loan proposal upon initial granting, renewals and for special transactions.

 

When deemed necessary by the Rating and Asset Control Division or the Companies Credit Risk Division.

 

Whenever the account executive determines that relevant changes have occurred in any of the debtor’s risk factors that may imply greater risk.

 

Through a monthly sample provided by the warning system.

 

Through periodic review by diverse centers of responsibility.

Watch List

An asset on the watch list presents weaknesses that can correct themselves, but requires special attention from each account executive and the Rating and Asset Control Division. Payment outlooks are satisfactory but may deteriorate if these weaknesses are not corrected. Loans in this category do not necessarily present expected losses for the Bank.

To safeguard the credit quality of loans, the Bank has established that the commercial segments must maintain a minimum of 5% of the Bank’s commercial portfolio on the watch list.

The watch list is managed by the Commercial Areas. These areas must comply with action plans established by the Watch List Committee.

The watch list is also reviewed by the Watch List Committee, which is composed of the Companies Credit Risk and/or Credit Risk Division Manager, Rating and Asset Control Division Manager and the corresponding Commercial Area Managers, based on the following timetable:

 

Every 4 monthsDebtors are reviewed using these strategies:
V1Exit
V2Guarantee

Every 6 monthsV4Continue
Every 2 monthsV5Structured exit
If the loan remains unpaid.

The committee reviews all debtors classified individually on the watch list, which controls 93% of the Bank’s commercial portfolio on a case-by-case basis.

The Risk Manager of each commercial segment and the Rating and Asset Control Division Manager are responsible for monitoring the account executive’s compliance with action plans and any agreements made by the Watch List Committee.

Debtors on the watch list must be included in the following action plans, depending on the type of problems that affect them:

 

Debtors with exit plans.
The Bank made the decision to completely eliminate the risk. For these debtors, there must be a defined payment plan.V1
Debtors with plans to increase guarantee coverage.V2
Debtors with plans to decrease exposure.V3
Decrease debt to an amount that is comfortable for the Bank.V3
Debtors with monitoring plans.
Less degree of concern. Example: monitoring the capitalization of a company that is committed but not executed, one-time delays in payments, payment of claims questioned by the insurance company.V4
Debtors with structured payment plans.V5
Defined payment plan for all debt. Only requires monitoring that installments are paid on time.V5
Debtors declared as satisfactory assets.V0
They were eliminated from the system after having satisfactorily complied with agreed-upon action plans.V0

The Rating and Asset Control Division reviews compliance with this provision on a monthly basis.

This portfolio is revisedreviewed by the Rating and Asset Control Division each month.

Derivative Instruments

The Bank has strict controls for derivative contracts negotiated directly with its counterparties. Credit risk is limited to the fair value of contracts that are favorable for the Bank (asset position), which only represents a small fraction of the notional values of those instruments. This exposure to credit risk is managed as part of the loan limits for customers, together with potential exposure from market fluctuations. In order to mitigate risk, the Bank tends to operate with counterparty deposit margins.

Contingent Commitments

The Bank operates with diverse instruments that, although they are exposed to credit risk, are not reflected in the balance sheet. These include guarantors and pledges, documentary letters of credit, bank guarantees and commitments to grant loans.

Cosignatories and sureties represent an irrevocable payment obligation. In the event that a customer with a co-signer does not fulfill its obligations with third parties guaranteed by the Bank, this will affect the corresponding payments so that these transactions represent the same exposure to credit risk as a common loan.

Documentary letters of credit are commitments documented by the Bank on behalf of a customer that are guaranteed by merchandise on board, which therefore have less risk than direct indebtedness. Bank guarantees are contingent commitments that take effect only if the customer does not comply with a commitment made with a third party, guaranteed by them.

Regarding commitments to grant loans, the Bank is potentially exposed to losses equivalent to the unused total of the commitment. However, the likely amount of the loss is less than the unused total of the commitment. The Bank monitors the maturity of lines of credit because generally long-term commitments have greater credit risk than short-term commitments.

Financial Instruments

For this type of asset, the Bank measures the probability of not being able to collect from issuers using internal and external ratings such as risk rating agencies that are independent from the Bank.

Maximum Exposure to Credit Risk

The following table presents the distribution, by financial asset, of our maximum exposure to credit risk, as of December 31, 20132014 and 2014,2015, for different balance sheet components, including derivatives, and without deducting security interests in personal or real property or other credit improvements.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Definition and Principles of Financial Risk Management

Market Risk

Definition

Market risk is the exposure to economic gains or losses caused by movements in prices and market variables. This exposure stems from both the trading book, where positions are valued at fair value, and the banking book, which is at amortized cost. The different valuation methodologies require the use of diverse tools to measure and control the impact on either the value of the Bank’s positions or its financial margin.

Decisions as to how to manage these risks are reviewed by committees, the most important of which is the Asset-Liability Committee (ALCO).

Each of the activities are measured, analyzed and reported on a daily basis using different metrics to ascertain their risk profiles.

The following section describes the main risk factors along with the tools we use to monitor the most important impacts of market risk factors to which the Bank and its subsidiaries are exposed.

 

 (1)Risk Factors

 

 (a)i.Foreign Exchange Risk

Foreign exchange risk is the exposure to adverse movements in the exchange rates of currencies other than the base currency for all balance sheet and off-balance sheet positions.

The main sources of foreign exchange risk are:

 

Positions in foreign currency (FX) within the trading book.

 

Currency mismatches between assets and liabilities in the banking book.

 

Cash flow mismatches in different currencies.

 

Structural positions produced from consolidating assets and liabilities from our foreign branches and subsidiaries denominated in currencies other than the Chilean peso. As a result, movements in exchange rates can generate volatility within the bank’s income statement and equity. This effect is known as “translation risk”.

 

 (b)ii.Indexation Rate Risk

Indexation risk is the exposure to changes in indexed units (e.g. UF, UVR or others) linked to domestic or foreign currency in which any instruments, contracts or other transactions recorded in the balance sheet may be denominated.

 

 (c)iii.Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the exposure to movements in market interest rates. Changes in market interest rates can affect both the price of trading instruments and the net interest margin and other gains from the banking book such as fees. Likewise, fluctuations in interest rates can affect the underlying value of the Bank’s assets and liabilities and of derivative instruments that are recorded off balance sheet at fair value.

CORPBANCA AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of December 31, 20132014 and 20142015 and for the years ended

December 31, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 20142015

 

Interest rate risk can be represented by sensitivities to parallel and/or non-parallel yield shifts with the effects reflected in the prices of instruments, the financial margin and equity.

Movements in interest rates can be explained by at least the following risk factors:

 

Systemic risk

 

Funding liquidity risk

 

Credit risk

 

Specific risk.

A key component of our asset and liability policy is the management of interest rate sensitivity. Interest rate sensitivity is the relationship between market interest rates and net interest income due to the maturity or re-pricing characteristics of interest-earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. For any given period, the pricing structure is matched when an equal amount of such assets and liabilities mature or re-price in that period. Any mismatch of interest-earning assets and interest bearing liabilities is known as a gap position. A positive gap denotes asset sensitivity and means that an increase in interest rates would have a positive effect on net interest income while a decrease in interest rates would have a negative effect on net interest income. Accordingly, a negative gap denotes asset sensitivity and means that a decrease in interest rates would have a negative effect on net interest income while an increase in interest rates would have a positive effect on net interest income.

Our interest rate sensitivity strategy takes into account not only the rates of return and the underlying degree of risk, but also liquidity requirements, including minimum regulatory cash reserves, mandatory liquidity ratios, withdrawal and maturity of deposits, capital costs and additional demand for funds. Our maturity mismatches and positions are monitored by our A&L Committee and are managed within established limits.

 

 (d)iv.Prepayment or Call Risk

This risk arises from the possible prepayment (partial or full) of any transaction before its contractual maturity, generating the need to reinvest the freed cash flows at a different rate than that of the prepaid transaction.

 

 (e)v.Underwriting Risk

This risk arises as a result of the Bank underwriting a placement of bonds or other debt instruments, taking on the risk of coming to own the portion of the issuance that could not be placed among potential interested parties.

 

 (f)vi.Correlation Risk

Correlation risk is the exposure to changes in estimated correlations between the relative value of two or more assets, or a difference between the effective and estimated correlation over the life of the transaction.

 

 (g)vii.Market Liquidity Risk

Market liquidity risk is the exposure to losses as a result of the potential impact on transaction prices or costs in the sale or closure of a position. This risk is related to the particular market’s degree of depth.

 

 (h)viii.Volatility Risk

In addition to the exposure related to the underlying asset, issuing options has other risks. These risks arise from the non-linear relationship between the gain generated by the option and the price and level of the underlying factors, as well as the exposure to changes in the perceived volatility of these factors.

 1.Management Principles

The following principles govern the market risk management efforts of CorpBanca and its subsidiaries:

 

Business and trades are conducted in line with established policies, pre-approved limits, guidelines, procedure controls and clearly defined delegation of decision-making authority, in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

 

The Bank’s organizational structure must ensure effective segregation of duties so that trading, monitoring, accounting and risk measurement and management are performed and reported independently using a dual-control system.

 

Trading of new products and participation in new markets can only take place if:

 

The product has been approved by the Bank’s New Product Committee.

 

A full assessment has been conducted to determine if the activity falls within the bank’s general risk tolerance and specific commercial objectives.

 

Proper controls and limits have been set for that activity.

 

The limits, terms and conditions stipulated in the authorizations are monitored on a daily basis and any excesses are reported no later than the following day.

 

Trading positions are valued each day at fair value in accordance with the Valuation Policy.

 

All trades must be executed at current market rates.

 

 2.Funding Liquidity Risk

 

 a)Definition

Funding liquidity risk is the exposure of the Bank and its subsidiaries to events that affect their ability to meet, in a timely manner and at reasonable costs, cash payment obligations arising from maturities of time deposits that are not renewed, withdrawals from demand accounts, maturities or settlements of derivatives, liquidations of investments or any other payment obligation.

Financial institutions are exposed to funding liquidity risk that is intrinsic to the role of intermediary that they play in the economy. In general, in financial markets demand for medium or long-term financing is usually much greater than the supply of funds for those terms while short-term financing is in considerable supply. In this sense, the role of intermediary played by financial institutions, which assume the risk of satisfying the demand for medium and long-term financing by brokering short-term available funds, is essential for the economy to function properly.

Appropriately managing funding liquidity risk not only allows contractual obligations to be met in a timely manner, but also enables:

 

The liquidation of positions, when it so decides, to occur without significant losses.

 

The commercial and treasury activities of the Bank and its subsidiaries to be financed at competitive rates.

 

The Bank to avoid fines or regulatory sanctions for not complying with regulations.

 b)Management Principles

The principles used to manage funding liquidity risk include:

 

Balancing strategic liquidity objectives with corporate profitability objectives, designing and implementing investment and financing strategies to compete with our key competitors.

 

Designing policies, limits and procedures in accordance with banking regulations, internal rules and CorpBanca’s strategic business objectives.

 

Establishing a robust framework for managing liquidity risk that guarantees that the entity will maintain sufficient liquidity, including a cushion of high-quality, unencumbered liquid assets that can be used to contend with a series of stress-generating events, including those that bring about losses or weaken sources of secured and unsecured financing.

 

Clearly establishing liquidity risk tolerance appropriate for its business strategy and its size within the financial system.

 

The Bank has a financing strategy that promotes effective diversification of funding sources and maturities. It maintains a continuous presence in the funding market with correspondent banks and select customers, maintaining close relationships and promoting diversification of funding sources. It also keeps appropriate lines of financing available, ensuring its ability to obtain liquid resources quickly. The Bank has identified the main factors of vulnerability that affect its ability to secure funds and monitors the validity of the assumptions behind estimates for obtaining funding.

 

CorpBanca actively manages its intraday liquidity positions and risks in order to punctually meet its payment and liquidation obligations both under normal circumstances as well as situations of stress, contributing to the smooth operations of the payment and settlement systems.

 

 c)Others

The maturity analysis of financial assets and liabilities are in Note 36Maturity of assets and liabilities.

For further information on funding liquidity risk see page F- 219.

3.Counterparty Risk

Credit default risk is the risk of loss arising from non-compliance by a given counterparty, for whatever reason, in paying all or part of its obligations with the Bank under contractually agreed-upon conditions. This risk also includes a given counterparty’s inability to comply with obligations to settle derivative operations with bilateral risk.

The Bank diversifies credit risk by placing limits on the concentration of this risk in any one individual debtor, debtor group, product, industry segment or country. Such risks are continuously monitored and the limits by debtor, debtor group, product, industry and country are reviewed at least once per year and approved by the respective committees.

Exposure to credit risk is evaluated using an individual analysis of the payment capacity of debtors and potential debtors to meet their obligations on time and as agreed.

Furthermore, the Bank has strict controls for derivative contracts negotiated directly with its counterparties. This exposure is managed using limits per customer based on a risk methodology equivalent to credit risk exposure. Lastly, the values of derivatives are adjusted to reflect the expected loss from the counterparty.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of December 31, 2014 and Committees2015 and for the years ended

December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015

The Bank includes in the valuation of derivatives the “Counterparty Valuation Adjustment” (CVA), to reflect the counterparty risk in the determination of fair value.This valuation considers the Bank’s own credit risk, known as “Debit Valuation Adjustment” (DVA). See Note 34Financial Assets And Liabilities Measured At Fair Value.

Offsetting financial assets and liabilities

The Bank should offset a financial asset and a financial liability and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when and only when:

i.- currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts; and

ii.- intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

The bank includes assets and financial liabilities that have master netting agreements but do not qualify to be netting directly in the statement of financial position and hence their values are presented gross in that Statement.

According to the above, the following table shows the impact of the main assets and liabilities offset and those who maintain netting agreements (including financial guarantees), but do not qualify to be netting directly in the statement of financial position.

December 31, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 20142015

 

Risk is monitored and controlled by parties independent from those managing risk, thus correctly aligning incentives.

 

Management efforts should be flexible, within the framework permitted by policies, rules and current regulations.

 

Senior management establishes the guidelines for risk appetite, and

 

Is informed periodically on risk levels assumed, contingencies and instances when limits are exceeded.

In order to guarantee the flexibility of management efforts and communication of risk levels to upper management, the following network of committees has been established:

 

Daily Committee: Meets daily to review financial conditions and the latest market movements. This committee reviews the relevance of positions on a daily basis in order to detect in advance any scenarios that could negatively impact returns and liquidity. It also monitors the performance of strategies used for each of the portfolios.

 

Market and Proprietary Trading Committee: Meets weekly to analyze management of positions. This committee reviews local and global economic conditions and projections in order to analyze the potential benefits and risks of the strategies executed and evaluate new strategies.

 

Financial Management Committee: Meets biweekly to analyze management of structural interest rate and indexation risk in the banking book.

 

Liquidity Management Committee: Meets biweekly to analyze management of funding liquidity risk.

 

Asset-Liability Committee (ALCO): Meets biweekly to analyze economic and financial conditions and inform senior management of market and liquidity risk levels assumed by presenting indexes of market and funding liquidity risk, limit consumption and results of stress tests.

 

Board of Directors The board of directors is informed each quarter of the market and funding liquidity risk levels assumed by presenting established risk indexes, limit consumption and results of stress tests.

The Divisions in charge of managing market and funding liquidity risk are:

The Treasury Division is responsible for managing market risk. Its primary objective is to generate or conduct business with customers while its secondary function is to carry out proprietary trading.

The Finance and International Division is responsible for managing all structural risks in the markets in which it operates through the Financial Management and Liquidity Management Areas in order to provide greater stability to the financial margin and ensure suitable levels of solvency and liquidity.

As with the structure for financial risk at a corporate level, each local financial risk unit arranges its functions based on the specific characteristics of the business, operations, legal requirements or other relevant aspects.

In order to guarantee adherence to corporate policies and proper local execution, the corporate financial risk area and local units have the following roles and functions:

Corporate Financial Risk Area:

 

To design, propose and document risk policies and criteria, corporate limits and decision making and control processes.

 

To generate management schemes, systems and tools, overseeing and supporting implementation so that they function effectively.

 

To know, assimilate and adapt internal and external best practices.

 

To drive commercial activity to attain risk-weighted results.

 

To consolidate, analyze and control financial risk incurred by all perimeter units.

Local Financial Risk Units:

 

To measure, analyze and control the risks under their responsibility.

 

To adapt and embrace corporate policies and procedures through local approval.

 

To define and document local policies and lead local projects.

 

To apply policies and decision-making systems to each market.

 

To adapt the organization and management schemes to corporate frameworks and rules.

 (i)Trading Book

The trading book consists of financial instruments that are allocated to diverse portfolios based on their strategy. The market risk of these instruments stems mainly from being recorded at fair value. As a result, changes in market conditions can directly impact their value. The following sections describe the monitoring and control structure for market risk in the trading book used during 2014.2015.

 

 (a)Value at Risk (VaR)

The Value at Risk (VaR) methodology is the main tool for controlling market risk in the trading book. Its appeal lies in its providing a statistical measurement of the maximum expected loss at a certain defined level of confidence, consolidating the risk exposures with the observed distribution of market factors.

For the above Corpbanca uses a Historical VaR to measure the market risk in their portfolios, this because a Historical VaR has comparative advantages over the other two calculation methodologies best known, for example, with respect to the Parametric or Statistical VaR which is based on assumptions of normal distribution of returns or, with respect to Monte Carlo simulation which is demanding in technological resources and which must make assumptions on the distribution of returns as well. Although the above is recognized that the Historical VaR has limitations associated primarily with data historical used for calculating vectors results which could not be reflecting most volatile periods or loss of correlations. Another limitation is to consider only the positions held between days and not consider intra-day positions that are also potential sources of losses due to changes in risk factors by movements of market variables during the day. That is why the bank has provided complementary risk measures quantification such as Stress VaR, Expected Shorfall, Conditional VaR, among others.

(i) VaR Backtesting

(i)VaR Backtesting

VaR backtesting is carried out at a local and corporate level by the different financial risk units. The backtesting methodology is applied consistently to all of the Bank’s portfolios. These exercises consist of comparing the estimated VaR measurements at a determined level of confidence and time horizon against the real results of losses obtained during the same time horizon. The methodology used compares the results obtained without considering the intraday results or changes in positions within the portfolio. This method corroborates the individual models’ ability to value and measure the risks from the different positions.

The graphs below compare the bank’s daily VaR estimates and the realized P&L over a period of 300 days in order to probe the VaR measurements’ consistency (Kupiec’s frequency test). Indeed, about 99% of the realized P&L should lie within the ±99% VaR interval. Given the time period of 300 days, there should be an expected number of 3 excesses.

As seen below, CorpBbanca Chile exhibited 2 exceptions over the considered time period, which corresponds to the Basel green zone.

 (b)Interest Rate and Currency Sensitivity

Measuring interest rate and currency sensitivity is one of the main tools for monitoring market risk in the trading book, enabling the Bank to break down, understand and report on the directional positions to which it is exposed.

Interest rate and currency sensitivity is monitored on a daily basis and is limited by the VaR limits established for each portfolio.

At the same time, exchange rate risk is controlled using notional limits, giving fluidity to currency products with customers and simultaneously limiting trading positions. The following table shows the current notional limits as well as closing positions as of year-end 2014,2015, and statistics for that year.

(ii)Banking Book

The banking book consists primarily of:

Assets:

 

Cash

 

Commercial, mortgage and consumer loans from the commercial areas.

 

Fixed-income instruments classified as available for sale or held to maturity.

Liabilities:

 

Demand deposits

 

Time deposits

 

Senior and subordinated bonds

 

Derivative instruments that qualify for hedge accounting: Derivatives that, meeting certain requirements, are given an accounting treatment different than those derivatives recorded in the trading book, the objective of which is to manage risks in the banking book.

The banking book’s main risks and the tools used to monitor, control and manage these risks are described below.

(a) Financial Investment Positions

The banking book includes a portfolio of financial investments classified as available-for-sale instruments, used to manage structural interest rate risk in the balance sheet. Exposure to this type of investments is calculated using PV01 and VaR market value sensitivities, in order to continuously monitor the volatility of book basis equity.

Hedge accounting is used as an effective and relatively low-cost tool to manage this risk.

(b) Sensitivity to Indexation

(b)Sensitivity to Indexation

CorpBanca’s balance sheet presents a mismatch between inflation-indexed assets and liabilities. The Chilean market has more indexed assets than liabilities, which explains why the Bank has a mismatch of inflation-indexed assets. This is due to the existence of medium and long-term indexed assets that are financed with liabilities in Chilean pesos.

Hedge accounting is used as an effective and relatively low-cost tool to manage this risk.

The following table shows the size of the mismatch as of December 31, 20142015 and the mismatch statistics during the year.

(c)Sensitivity of Financial Margin and Economic Capital

The Annual Income Sensitivity (AIS) index measures the sensitivity of the interest margin to 100 bps variations in the repricing rate for assets and liabilities during the next 12 months. The established limits are much lower than the Bank’s annual net income. During 2014,2015, the sensitivity risk in the interest margin in Chile has remained low with a positive sensitivity to drops in interest rates.

The Market Value Sensitivity (MVS) index measures the sensitivity of the economic value (fair value) of the banking book in the event of a 100 bps increase in the valuation rates of assets and liabilities.

The tables below show the evolution of sensitivity indicators for interest margins and economic capital for Chile and Colombia.

(d)Structural Exchange Rate Risk

Structural exchange rate risk arises from the Bank’s positions in currencies other than the Chilean peso related primarily to the consolidation of investments in subsidiaries or affiliates and the net income and hedges of these investments. The process of managing structural exchange rate risk is dynamic and attempts to limit the impact of currency depreciation, thus optimizing the financial cost of hedges.

The general policy for managing this risk is to finance them in the currency of the investment provided that the depth of the market so allows and the cost is justified by the expected depreciation. One-time hedges are also taken out when the Bank considers that any currency may weaken beyond market expectations with respect to the Chilean peso. As of December 31, 2014,2015, greater ongoing exposure was concentrated in Colombian pesos (approximately US$ 1.1 billion).

 (b)Stress Tests

These exercises allow weaknesses in positions and the balance sheet structure to be diagnosed. From this, the Bank can create a critical factor plan to be used before such scenarios come about, or a contingency plan for when the scenarios have already taken place or the estimated probability of occurrence is high.

 

 i)Trading Book

In addition, market stress tests can be performed to test trading book positions under diverse extreme scenarios in order to estimate the losses they would generate.

The results of the market stress tests on the trading book are reported periodically to the ALCO and the Board of Directors.

Stress tests conducted during 20142015 indicated that none of the critical scenarios considered would affect the Bank’s solvency.

The list below enumerates some of the linear and historical sensitivity scenarios analyzed.

 (c)Methodologies

 

 (i)Trading Book

 

 (a)Value at Risk - VaR

For the calculation of VaR, the non-parametric method of historical simulation is used, which consists of using a historical series of prices and the position at risk from the trading book.

A time series of simulated prices and yields is constructed with the assumption that the portfolio was conserved for the period of time of the historical series. The VaR tries to quantify a threshold of expected losses, which should only occur a certain percentage of times based on the level of confidence used in the calculation.

 

 (b)Rate Sensitivity

Sources of rate risk include forwards, swaps and options. Rate sensitivity is calculated and reported by portfolio, by relevant discount curve and by maturity.

The present value of the portfolio is stressed by 1 bp. In other words, the present value is calculated by increasing the respective discount rate by 1 bp. The sensitivity of options is calculated using the theta value.

The variation in the present value of the portfolio corresponds to its sensitivity at a variation of one basis point (bp).

 

LOGOLOGO

 

DV01 :DV01: Sensitivity to 1 bp variation in rate i at band m.

 

PV :PV: Present value of portfolio’s cash flows.

 (a)Sensitivity to Indexation

Sources of indexation risk come from both balance sheet and off-balance sheet positions such as derivatives that, as a result of a change in indexation units (UF, UVR or others), impact the Bank’s net income.

As with currency sensitivity, indexation sensitivity is the market valuation of each indexed cash flow. That is, the cash flows in indexation units expressed at present value.

 

LOGOLOGO

 

PV : Present value of portfolio’s cash flows.

 

  PV’m : Present value of portfolio’s cash flows with shock of 1 unit in indexation unit.

 

 (b)Sensitivity of Financial Margin

This measures the impact caused by a movement of 100 bp, over a twelve-month horizon, in the Bank’s financial margin (interest earned less interest paid).

The information required to calculate the index is obtained from the regulatory cash flows of the market risk data from the balance sheet book (regulatory report C40) only considering the time bands up to and including 1Y.

 

LOGOLOGO

 

  AIS: Annual :Annual Income Sensitivity.

 

  Pim : Net position in CLP in respective time band.

 

Dr : Variation of 100 bp.

 

  Ti : Representative maturity of time band i.

 

 (c)Sensitivity of Economic Capital

This measures the sensitivity of the market value of the cash flows associated with assets and liabilities in the event of a parallel change of 100 bp in the relevant discount curve.

The information required to calculate the index is obtained from the cash flows of the Bank’s entire portfolio using data from the banking book.

The present value of the aggregate flows are discounted using the average terms of the respective time bands. Then the present value is calculated similarly with a shock increasing the respective discount rate by 100 bp.

(2)Regulatory Monotoring

(2)Regulatory Monotoring

Regulatory monitoring of market risk exposure is measured in accordance with chapter III.B.2III.B.2.2 of the Compendium of Financial Standards from the Chilean Central Bank and chapter 12-912-21 of the Updated Compilation of Standards from the Superintendency of Banks and Financial Institutions for both the trading book and the banking book. In the trading book, the impact is measured in the event of a change in the market price of its financial positions as a result of variations in interest rates, exchange rates and volatility. In the banking book, the impact is measured on the entity’s financial margin and present value.

The limits established for the trading book are for exposure to interest rate risk and exchange rate risk. The difference between the regulatory capital recorded by the financial institution and the sum of the following two items cannot be negative: (i) the product of the credit risk-weighted assets defined in article 67 of the General Banking Law and the minimum percentage established for regulatory capital in article 66 of that law, and (ii) the sum of the trading book’s exposure to interest rate risk and the exchange rate risks for the entire balance sheet measured in accordance with the Basel standard methodology with some important differences where exchange rate exposure stands out. As indicated in the paragraph above, the Bank must always comply with the following ratio:

RC-((k*CRWA)+MRE)>0

Where:  
RC  : Regulatory Capital
CRWA  : Credit Risk Weighted Assets
MRE  : Exposure to interest rate risk in trading book and currency Risk in entire balance Sheet
k  : Minimum percentage established for regulatory capital in article 66 of General Banking Law

FIGURE 21: MARKET RISK LIMIT FOR TRADING BOOK

The market risk presented in the table above (measured in units of risk-weighted assets) shows that capital consumption related to the Bank’s exposures to market risks is explained in more than 83% of the cases by the effect of our investment in Banco CorpBanca Colombia. As of December 2014,2015, this investment amounted to approximately US$ 1.1 billion.815 million. This exposure to exchange rate risk—Chileanrisk -Chilean peso vs. Colombian peso—peso- is considered structural in the sense that it arises from a long—term investment.

It is also worth mentioning that in accordance with Chilean regulations, a sensitivity factor of 35% is applied to net exposures in foreign currencies of countries other than those classified as AAA or their equivalent. The standard sensitivity factor in the Basel standards is only 8%. As a result, the capital consumption that the Bank must report to comply with local regulations is more than 4 times greater than if international recommendations were applied.

The regulatory model for market risk in Colombia, as in Chile, is based on the standard Basel model, separated into risk factors (i.e. interest rate, exchange rate and stock price). The volatilities applied to each of the factors are established by regulators. This result is used for the solvency margin, to which a factor equivalent to 100/9 is applied.

FIGURE 22: MARKET RISK IN COLOMBIA

Chilean regulations also require banks to establish limits for their market risk exposure in their banking book, which includes limits based on sensitivity in the financial margin and volatility in its equity value. Measurement of exposure to interest rate and indexation risks in the banking book must consider both the short-term impact on the capacity to generate net interest and indexation income and the fees sensitive to changes in interest rates, as well as the long-term impact on the institution’s economic value of adverse movements in interest rates.

The banking book’s exposure to the net interest and indexation margin is known as the short-term limit and cannot exceed 35% of the accumulated interest and indexation margin, plus fees sensitive to interest rates charged in the twelve months prior to the date of measurement. The exposure of capital to changes in interest rates has a long-term limit that cannot exceed 20% of regulatory capital. Both limits were presented and ratified by the Bank’s board of Directors.

The exposure of regulatory limits in the banking book for Chile are detailed as follows:

a) Management Tools

a)Management Tools

Our general policy is to maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure our ability to honor withdrawals of deposits, make repayments of other liabilities at maturity, extend loans and meet any other obligation. In order to comply with risk management objectives for funding liquidity risk, the monitoring and control structure is centered mainly on the following focal points:

 

Short-term maturity mismatch

 

Coverage capacity using liquid assets

 

Concentration of funding sources

Additionally, the monitoring and control structure for liquidity risk is complemented with stress testing in order to observe the institution’s ability to respond in the event of illiquid conditions.

 (i)Thirty-day Liquidity Coverage Ratio

In order to safeguard the Bank’s payment capacity in the event of illiquid conditions, a minimum has been established for the instrument portfolio that enables cash flows to be quickly generated either through liquidation or because they can be used as collateral for new funding sources.

The limit on the coverage ratio of liquidity is 50% of the mismatches of 30 days (consolidated currency).

The composition of liquid assets as of year-end December 20132015 after applying the respective price volatility haircuts and market liquidity adjustments is presented in the table below.

 (ii)Daily Wholesale Maturities

In order to control concentration of funding sources and safeguard compliance with obligations, the Bank monitors maturities of deposits in Chilean pesos by wholesale customers. This monitoring is conducted with a daily limit of MCh$50,000 in maturities per day.

Special treatment is given to this customer segment for two reasons:

 

They individually could represent an important percentage of CorpBanca’s business.

 

Given the profile of these customers in the wholesale segment, the renewal rate for these deposits tends to be lower. This last reason is consistent with cash disbursement models in regulatory reports, which do not assume that wholesale customers will renew deposits.

The maturity profile for wholesale deposits is monitored on a daily basis for every country. As a result, excesses are detected and reported based on the structure of the maturity profile. Forecasted excesses must be justified the day after they are reported and must then be managed.

 

 (iii)Warning Levels for Liquidity Requirements

In addition to monitoring and reporting all internal limits on a daily basis, senior management is informed each month through the ALCO and the Board of Directors is informed each quarter.

Special importance is placed on the Bank’s liquidity position by presenting an analysis of measurements of concentration, performance, premiums paid and/or other relevant variables.

 

 (a)Monitoring Funding Sources

Monitoring of variations in the stock of short-term funding such as time and demand deposits for each of the segments represents a key variable in monitoring the Bank’s liquidity. Identifying abnormal volatilities in these funding sources enables the Bank to quickly foresee possible undesired liquidity problems and thus to suggest action plans for managing them.

During 2014,2015, different strategies were implemented to diversify liabilities, including: diversifying time deposits, expanding stable funding sources such as on-line time deposits by individuals and issuing bonds.

These strategies enabled the Bank to continue to improve its funding structure, providing more stable funding.

 

 (b)Survival Horizon under Individual Stress

As a function of stressed maturities and renewal ratios, days of survival are estimated based on projected liquidity needs and the portfolio of available liquid assets. Based on these scenarios, any significant deviation is studied to determine whether action plans need to be implemented.

 

 (b)Stress Tests

Stress testing is a tool that complements the analysis of liquidity risk management as it enables the Bank to know its ability to respond in the event of extreme illiquid conditions and to trigger its contingency plans, if necessary, to address such conditions.

In particular, three types of scenarios are modeled:

December 31, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 20142015

In particular, three types of scenarios are modeled:

 

Individual Crisis: the financial system losses confidence in the Bank, which translates into important withdrawals from demand accounts, decreases in deposits and bond investments by customers and penalties to its funding rates.

 

Systemic Crisis:Local weakening of financial and credit conditions that causes the market to seek refuge in the U.S. dollar, greater restrictions on access to credit from abroad, massive outflows of capital, increases in the use of lines of credit and downward adjustments in expectations for the monetary policy rate.

 

Global Crisis: Global weakening of financial, credit and economic conditions that causes the market to seek refuge in the U.S. dollar, greater restrictions on access to credit from abroad, decreased exposure to credit risk (replaced by sovereign risk), increases in the use of lines of credit and downward adjustments in expectations for the monetary policy rate.

(2)Regulatory Monitoring

 

 (a)Liquidity requirement

In accordance with Chapter III B.2 from the Chilean Central Bank and Chapter 12-9 of the Updated Compilation of Standards from the Superintendency of Banks and Financial Institutions, the Bank must measure and control its liquidity position based on the difference between cash flows payable from liability and expense accounts and cash flows receivable from asset and income accounts for a given period or time band, which is called maturity mismatch.

This measurement is determined for controlling the liquidity position of the Bank itself and of its subsidiaries. The maturity mismatch calculation is carried out separately for domestic and foreign currency, setting limits based on capital and cash flows accumulated at 30 and 90 days:

 

The maturity mismatch in all currencies for periods less than or equal to 30 days must be less than or equal to the Bank’s basic capital.

 

The maturity mismatch in foreign currencies for periods less than or equal to 30 days must be less than or equal to the Bank’s basic capital.

 

The maturity mismatch in all currencies for periods less than or equal to 90 days must be less than or equal to twice the Bank’s basic capital.

In full compliance with the Chilean Central Bank and the Superintendency of Banks and Financial Institutions, CorpBanca’s boardBoard of directors approved a policy to measure and control its liquidity position based on maturity mismatches on an adjusted basis with a 10% cushion with respect to the regulatory limit.

In the Colombian market the regulatory measurement known as the standard LRI model measures 7 and 30 days30-day liquidity gaps. It allows entities to quantify the level of minimum liquid assets, in domestic and foreign currency, that they should maintain each day in order to, at a minimum, meet their payment obligations fully and on time. Entities must be capable of measuring and forecasting the cash flows of their assets, liabilities, off-balance sheet positions and derivative instruments for different time horizons in both normal scenarios and crisis scenarios where cash flows vary significantly from expectations as a result of unforeseen changes in markets, the entity or both.

The following tables show the evolution of the 7 and 30 day liquidity gaps in Colombia in 2014.2015.

Shareholders’ equity requirement

Consistent with Chile’s General Banking Law, we must maintain a ratio of at least 8%, net of required provisions between Effective Shareholders’ Equity and Consolidated Assets Weighted by risk, and a ratio of at least 3%, net of required provisions, between our Equity Base and Total Consolidated Assets. For such purposes, effective Equity is determined according to our Equity and Reserves or Equity Base with the following adjustments:

 

a.subordinated bonds with a 50% limit of the Equity Base are added, and

 

b.the balance of Goodwill assets or surcharges paid, and investments in companies not involved in the consolidation are subtracted.

Assets are weighted based on their risk categories, to which we assign a risk percentage based on the amount of capital needed to back each one of those assets. Five risk categories are applied (0%, 10%, 20%, 60% and 100%). For example, cash, deposits in other banks, and financial securities issued by the Central Bank of Chile have a 0% risk factor, which means that, consistent with current regulations, no capital is needed to back these assets. Fixed assets carry a 100% risk, which means that a mandatory capital equivalent of 8% of the value of these assets must be available.

In determining risk assets with conversion factors on notional values, we take into account all derivative securities negotiated off-exchange, thereby obtaining a credit risk exposure amount (or “credit equivalent”). The off-balance contingent loans are also considered to be “credit equivalent” in terms of weighting.

For the December 31, 2014 and 2015, the ratio of assets and risk weighted assets is as follows:

3.Basic capital is defined as the net amount that should be shown in the consolidated financial statements as “equity attributable to equity holders of the Bank” as indicated in the Compendium of Accounting Standards.
4.Regulatory capital is equal to basic capital plus subordinated bonds, additional provisions, and non-controlling interest as indicated in the Compendium of Accounting Standards; however, if that amount is greater than 20% of basic capital, only the amount equivalent to that percentage will be added; goodwill is subtracted and if the sum of the assets corresponding to minority investments in subsidiaries other than banking support companies is greater than 5% of basic capital, the amount that the sum exceeds that percentage will also be subtracted.
5.The consolidated basic capital ratio is equal to basic capital divided by total assets.

On January 8, 2016, the bank paid the full amount of the fine as a mandatory condition precedent to exercise its appeal rights. However, no provision was made as of December 31, 2015 as management believes that it is probable that the fine will be annulled through the appeal process.

c.Law 20,899 Simplification of Tax System and Improvements to Other Tax Provisions

On February 1, 2016, the President of Chile signed Law No. 20,899, which simplifies and includes specifications regarding the 2014 tax reform (Law No. 20,780), focusing on four specific objectives:

Simplify and include specifications regarding the tax reform;

Ensure intended revenue collection;

Maintain the system’s progressive nature; and

Maintain tools to prevent evasion and avoidance.

Among the most important aspects of this law are changes with respect to the adoption of the tax systems incorporated by Law 20,780 of 2014. The previous reform established two optional regimes taking effect in 2017: the attributed income regime and the semi-integrated regime.

Law 20,899 signed last February 1st keeps the two systems, but specifies that they shall be applied as follows:

i.Attributed income regime: exclusively for companies with partners or owners that consist only of individuals domiciled or residing in Chile or individuals or legal entities not domiciled or residing in Chile. Under this regime, income will be taxed at the end of the commercial year and the companies’ partners can deduct 100% of the taxes paid by the company as a credit against their final taxes. Companies that use this regime will use a rate of 24% in 2016 and 25% in 2017.

ii.Semi-integrated regime: this regime applies to corporations and companies with at least one owner or shareholder that is another company. Income is taxed when profits are distributed, but shareholders only have the right to credit 65% of the taxes paid by the company against their final taxes, with the exception of shareholders that reside in a country that has a tax treaty in effect with Chile or that has been signed before 01.01.2017, but as of that date is not in effect such as the United States, Argentina, China, South Africa and Italy. These companies shall use tax rates of 24% in 2016, 25.5% in 2017 and 27% in 2018.

Other modifications incorporated into this law are related to general anti-elusion laws and the application of value added tax (VAT) to certain transactions, mainly sales of real estate and leases with purchase options.

The matters described above do not involve any adjustments to the financial statements as of December 31, 2014.2015.

 

b)Panamanian Banking Superintendency Approves Itaú – CorpBanca Merger

Integration of these banks remains conditional upon approval from the shareholders of both entities as well as regulatory approval in Chile from the SBIF, in Panama from the Securities Market Superintendency (SMV) and in Colombia from the Colombian Stock Exchange (BVC).

The matters described above do not involve any adjustments to the financial statements as of December 31, 2014.

 

c)Acquisition of society Recaudaciones y Cobranzas S.A.

On February 25, 2015, CorpBanca acquired 73,609 shares of the company “Recaudaciones y Cobranzas S.A”, and its subsidiary CorpBanca Financial Consulting S.A. acquired 1 share of the same entity, therefore, the Bank becomes holder, directly and indirectly, 100% of its capital stock, the operation involved a total of MCh $488.

The matters described above do not involve any adjustments to the financial statements as of December 31, 2014.

d)Strategic Partnership between Itaú-Unibanco and CorpBanca

CORPBANCA ADMINISTRADORA GENERAL DE FONDOS

a)Legal Matters

On September 26, 2013, the Company was notified of a lawsuit brought by José Hernán Romero Salinas against CorpBanca Administradora General de Fondos S.A. filed with the 12th Civil Court of Santiago, Case No. C-9302-2013. The lawsuit petitions the court to render null and void four mutual fund investment agreements. As a result of the annulment, the plaintiff is requesting that the subsidiary be sentenced to /i/ return all funds invested in the four mutual fund investment agreements; /ii/ pay for lost profits valued at Ch$100,000,000, which is equivalent to the money that the plaintiff would have invested in fixed income mutual fund units as of the date of filing the lawsuit; and /iii/ pay the plaintiff the sum of MCh$50 for moral damages. On December 1, 2014, the first instance ruling was issued, partially accepting the lawsuit by declaring the agreements null and void and ordering the subsidiary to refund the sum of Ch$512,792,497 consisting of the money handed over to invest. The ruling rejected the petition for lost profits and moral damages filed by the plaintiff. On January 6, 2015, the Bank filed a motion for cassation on grounds of form, arguing a lack of factual and legal grounds for the basis of the ruling and appeal. On January 16, 2015, the plaintiff appealed the ruling, requesting modification for the ruling to include compensation for moral damages, lost profits and court costs. Both filings are pending processing.

The matters described above do not involve any adjustments to the financial statements as of December 31, 2014.

Between January 1, 2015,2016, and April 29, 2015,March 31, 2016, the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, there have been no other events after the reporting period that could affect the presentation and/or results of the financial statements.
