The obligations of the several Underwriters hereunder shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Underwriters if (i) since the Applicable Time there has been any change or any development involving a prospective change in the business, properties, management, financial condition or results of operations of the Company and the subsidiaries taken as a whole, the effect of which change or development is, in the sole judgment of the Underwriters, so material and adverse as to make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the Notes on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or (ii) since the Applicable Time there shall have occurred: (A) a suspension or material limitation in trading in securities generally on the NYSE, or the Bolsa de Valores de Colombia (the “Colombian Stock Exchange”); (B) a suspension or material limitation in trading in the Company’s securities on the NYSE; (C) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities declared by either federal, Colombian or New York State authorities or a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States or Colombia; (D) an outbreak or escalation of hostilities or acts of terrorism involving the United States or Colombia or a declaration by the United States or Colombia of a national emergency or war; (E) a change or development involving a prospective change in Colombian taxes affecting the Company, the Notes or the transfer thereof or the imposition of exchange controls by Colombia, in each case that may limit or in any way would materially and adversely affect the financial markets or the market for the Notes or materially impair the ability of the Underwriters to purchase, hold or effect resales of the Notes on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus; or (F) any other calamity or crisis or any change in financial, political or economic conditions in the United States or elsewhere, if the effect of any such event specified in clause (D), (E) or (F), in the sole judgment of the Underwriters, makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the Notes on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or (iii) since the Applicable Time, there shall have occurred any downgrading, or any notice or announcement shall have been given or made of: (A) any intended or potential downgrading or (B) any watch, review or possible change that does not indicate an affirmation or improvement in the rating accorded any securities of or guaranteed by the Company by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization,” as such term is defined under Section 3(a)(62) under the Exchange Act.

If the Underwriters elect to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 7, the Company shall be notified promptly in writing.

If the sale to the Underwriters of the Notes, as contemplated by this Agreement, is not carried out by the Underwriters for any reason permitted under this Agreement, or if such sale is not carried out because the Company shall be unable to comply with any of the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall not be under any obligation or liability under this Agreement (except to the extent provided in Sections 9 and 10 hereof); and the Underwriters shall be under no obligation or liability to the Company under this Agreement (except to the extent provided in Section 9 hereof) or to one another hereunder; provided, however, that Sections 3, 13, 15, 18, 23 and 24 shall also survive termination and remain in full force and effect.

29

8. Default by an Underwriter.

If, on the Closing Date, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase the Notes that it has or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate principal amount of Notes which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the principal amount of Notes set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule A bears to the aggregate principal amount of Notes set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as the Underwriters may specify, to purchase the Notes which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date; provided that in no event shall the principal amount of Notes that any Underwriter has agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement be increased pursuant to this Section 8 by an amount in excess of one-ninth of such principal amount of Notes without the written consent of such Underwriter. If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Notes and the aggregate principal amount of Notes with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to the Underwriters and the Company for the purchase of such Notes are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company. In any such case either the Undewrwriters or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven business days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Prospectus Supplement or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected.

9. Indemnity and Contribution.

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Underwriter, its affiliates (as such term is defined in Rule 501(b) of the Act), directors, officers, employees, agents and any person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and the successors and assigns of all of the foregoing persons, from and against any loss, damage, expense, liability or claim (including the reasonable cost of investigation) which, jointly or severally, any such Underwriter or any such person may incur under the Act, the Exchange Act, the common law or otherwise, insofar as such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or in the Registration Statement as amended by any post-effective amendment thereof by the Company) or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as any such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in, and in conformity with information concerning such Underwriter furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Underwriter through you to the Company expressly for use in, the Registration Statement or arises out of or is based upon any omission

30

or alleged omission to state a material fact in the Registration Statement in connection with such information, which material fact was not contained in such information and which material fact was required to be stated in such Registration Statement or was necessary to make such information not misleading or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in any Prospectus (the term Prospectus for the purpose of this Section 8 being deemed to include any Base Prospectus, any Pre-Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements to the foregoing), in any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, in any “issuer information” (as defined in Rule 433 under the Act) of the Company or in any Prospectus together with any combination of one or more of the Permitted Free Writing Prospectuses, if any, or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except, with respect to such Prospectus or Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, insofar as any such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in, and in conformity with information concerning such Underwriter furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Underwriter through you to the Company expressly for use in, such Prospectus or Permitted Free Writing Prospectus or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in such Prospectus or Permitted Free Writing Prospectus in connection with such information, which material fact was not contained in such information and which material fact was necessary in order to make the statements in such information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(b) Each Underwriter severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, its directors and officers, and any person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and the successors and assigns of all of the foregoing persons, from and against any loss, damage, expense, liability or claim (including the reasonable cost of investigation) which, jointly or severally, the Company or any such person may incur under the Act, the Exchange Act, the common law or otherwise, insofar as such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in, and in conformity with information concerning such Underwriter furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Underwriter through you to the Company expressly for use in, the Registration Statement (or in the Registration Statement as amended by any post-effective amendment thereof by the Company), or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in such Registration Statement in connection with such information, which material fact was not contained in such information and which material fact was required to be stated in such

31

Registration Statement or was necessary to make such information not misleading or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in, and in conformity with information concerning such Underwriter furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Underwriter through you to the Company expressly for use in, a Prospectus or a Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in such Prospectus or Permitted Free Writing Prospectus in connection with such information, which material fact was not contained in such information and which material fact was necessary in order to make the statements in such information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the following information in the Prospectus or a Permitted Free Writing Prospectus furnished on behalf of the Underwriter: under the caption “Underwriting” in the third sentence of the fourth paragraph and the fifth and seventh paragraphs (such information being defined as the “Underwriter Information”).

(c) If any action, suit or proceeding, including any governmental or regulatory investigation (each, a “Proceeding”), is brought against a person (an “indemnified party”) in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Company or an Underwriter (as applicable, the “indemnifying party”) pursuant to subsection (a) or (b), respectively, of this Section 8, such indemnified party shall promptly notify such indemnifying party in writing of the institution of such Proceeding and such indemnifying party shall, if it so elects, assume the defense of such Proceeding, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and payment of all fees and expenses; provided, however, that the omission to so notify such indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability which such indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) above unless such omission results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and shall not, in any event, relieve such indemnifying party from obligations to any indemnified party. The indemnified party or parties shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party or parties unless the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party in connection with the defense of such Proceeding or the indemnifying party shall not have, within a reasonable period of time in light of the circumstances, employed counsel to defend such Proceeding or such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from, additional to or in conflict with those available to such indemnifying party (in which case such indemnifying party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such Proceeding on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such fees and expenses shall be borne by such indemnifying

32

party and paid as incurred (it being understood, however, that such indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel) in any one Proceeding or series of related Proceedings in the same jurisdiction representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such Proceeding). The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without its written consent but if settled with its written consent such indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the indemnified party or parties from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second sentence of this Section 9(c), then the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 60 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have fully reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement and (iii) such indemnified party shall have given the indemnifying party at least 30 days’ prior notice of its intention to settle. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and does not include an admission of fault or culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such indemnified party.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable to an indemnified party under subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 9 or insufficient to hold an indemnified party harmless in respect of any losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims referred to therein, then each applicable indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Notes or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total proceeds from the offering (net of

33

underwriting discounts and commissions but before deducting expenses) received by the Company, and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, bear to the aggregate public offering price of the Notes. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, damages, expenses, liabilities and claims referred to in this subsection shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any Proceeding.

(e) The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in subsection (d) above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount equal to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriters. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 9 are several in proportion to their respective underwriting commitments and not joint.

(f) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 9 and the covenants, warranties and representations of the Company contained in this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, its directors or officers or any person (including each partner, officer or director of such person) who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, or by or on behalf of the Company its directors or officers or any person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and shall survive any termination of this Agreement or the issuance and delivery of the Notes. The Company and each Underwriter agree promptly to notify each other of the commencement of any Proceeding against it and, in the case of the Company, against any of their officers or directors in connection with the issuance and sale of the Notes, or in connection with the Registration Statement, any Base Prospectus, any Pre-Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.

34

10. Payment of Expenses.

(a) Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Company agrees to pay or cause to be paid all costs, expenses, fees and taxes in connection with (i) the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement, each Base Prospectus, each Pre-Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus, each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus required to be filed and any amendments or supplements thereto, and the printing and furnishing of copies of each thereof to the Underwriters and to dealers (including costs of mailing and shipment), (ii) the registration, authorization, authentication, issue, sale and delivery of the Notes including any stock or transfer taxes and stamp or similar duties payable upon the sale, issuance or delivery of the Notes to the Underwriters, (iii) the producing, word processing and/or printing of this Agreement, the Indenture, the Notes, any agreement among the Underwriters, any dealer agreements and any closing documents (including compilations thereof) and the reproduction and/or printing and furnishing of copies of each thereof to the Underwriters and (except closing documents) to dealers (including costs of mailing and shipment), (iv) the qualification of the Notes for offering and sale under Colombian, United States, state or other foreign laws and the determination of their eligibility for investment under Colombian, United States, state or other foreign law (including the legal fees and filing fees and other reasonable disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters) and the printing and furnishing of copies of any blue sky surveys or legal investment surveys to the Underwriters and to dealers, (v) any listing of the Notes on any securities exchange or qualification of the Notes for quotation on the NYSE and any registration thereof under the Exchange Act, (vi) the inclusion of the Notes in the book-entry system of DTC, (vii) the rating of the Notes by rating agencies, (viii) the fees and expenses of the Trustee and its counsel, (ix) the fees and expenses of any registrar and paying agent contemplated by the Indenture, (x) the costs and expenses of the Company relating to presentations or meetings undertaken in connection with the marketing of the offering and sale of the Notes to prospective investors and the Underwriters’ sales forces, including, without limitation, expenses associated with the production of road show slides and graphics, fees and expenses of any consultants engaged in connection with the road show presentations, travel, lodging and other expenses incurred by the officers of the Company and any such consultants, (xi) all the reasonable fees and expenses of the Underwriters (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses of the Underwriters including a U.S. counsel and a local counsel), (xii) all fees and expenses of legal counsel to the Company and of the Company’s auditors and (xiii) the performance of the Company’s other obligations hereunder.

35

(b) If (i) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7, (ii) the Company for any reason fails to tender the Notes for delivery to the Underwriters or (iii) the Underwriters decline to purchase the Notes for any reason permitted under this Agreement, the Company shall not be subject to any obligation or liability under this Agreement (except to the extent provided in Sections 9 and 10 hereof); provided, however, that the Company agrees to reimburse the Underwriters for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby to the extent set forth in Section 10(a) and the Underwriters shall be under no obligation or liability to the Company under this Agreement.

The Company hereby consents to personal jurisdiction, service and venue in any court in which any Claim arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement is brought by any third party against any Underwriter or any indemnified party.

Optional Redemption:	At any time on or after June 24, 2029 (six months prior to the Reset Date) until (and including) the Reset Date, the Issuer may, at its option, redeem the Notes, in whole, but not in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, subject to certain conditions, including prior approval of the SFC if so required at the time of redemption.

A “Tax Event” shall occur if, as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws (or any rules or regulations thereunder) of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, or any amendment to or change in an official interpretation, administration or application of such laws, rules or regulations, or any treaties or related agreements to which the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction is a party (including a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction), which change or amendment becomes effective or, in the case of a change in official position, is announced on or after the issue date of the Notes or, if later, the date on which the applicable Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction became a Relevant

C-1

	Taxing Jurisdiction, (i) the Issuer has or will become obligated to pay additional amounts or (ii) there is more than an insubstantial risk that interest payable by us on the Notes is not or will not be deductible by the Issuer in whole or in part for Colombian income tax purposes, and in either case (i) or (ii) such obligation cannot be avoided by the Issuer taking reasonable measures available to it. “Regulatory Event” means a change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) or treaties of Colombia or any political subdivision thereof or therein, or any change in the official application, administration or interpretation of such laws, regulations, rulings or treaties, which change or amendment becomes effective on or after the Issue Date, which results in an amendment of Title I of Book 1 of Part 2 of Decree 2555 of 2010 as a result of which we will no longer be entitled to treat the full outstanding principal amount of the Notes as Tier Two Capital pursuant to applicable Colombian capital regulations, other than pursuant to of article 2.1.1.1.13 of the Decree 2555, as amended, which provides that starting on the date that is five years before the scheduled maturity of the Notes, the principal amount of the Notes that may be accounted as Tier Two Capital shall be reduced by annual amortization using the straight-line method, thereby reducing the principal by 20% each year.
Optional Clean-up Redemption:	If at least 90% of the initial aggregate principal amount of the Notes has been redeemed or purchased by, or on behalf of, the Issuer and cancelled, the Issuer may, at any time, at its option, redeem the Notes that remain outstanding, in whole, but not in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and any Additional Amounts to the redemption date on the date of redemption.
Substitution or Variation:	At any time that a Tax Event or a Regulatory Event has occurred and is continuing, the Issuer may, as an alternative to redemption of the Notes (without any requirement for the consent or approval of the Holders), on at least 10 days’ but not more than 60 days’ written notice, either: (i) substitute all, but not less than all, of the Notes for Qualifying Tier 2 Notes (as defined in the Indenture); or (ii) vary any term or condition of the Notes with the effect that they remain or become, as the case may be, Qualifying Tier 2 Notes; provided that, in each case, to the extent required by applicable law, prior approval of the SFC or any other then applicable Colombian Governmental Authority has been obtained by the Issuer. Upon the date provided for in such notice, the Issuer shall either vary the terms of or, as the case may be, substitute the Notes in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. Prior to any substitution or variation of the Notes, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee the documents required under the Indenture, including but not limited to an Officers’ Certificate, to the effect that: (i) the relevant requirement or circumstance giving rise to the right to substitute or vary the Notes has been satisfied; (ii) the Issuer has determined that the terms of the Qualifying Tier 2 Notes are not materially less favorable to Holders than the terms of the Notes and that determination was reasonably reached by the Issuer in consultation with an independent investment bank, independent financial adviser or legal counsel, in each case of international standing; (iii) the criteria specified in the definition of Qualifying Tier 2 Notes will be satisfied upon issuance thereof; and (iv) the relevant substitution or variation (as the case may be) will not result in the occurrence of a Tax Event or a Regulatory Event.

C-2

Loss Absorption:	As determined by applicable Colombian laws and regulations then in effect, if (i) the Issuer’s Basic Individual Solvency Ratio (as defined in the Indenture) or the Issuer’s Basic Consolidated Solvency Ratio (as defined in the Indenture) is below 4.5% (whichever occurs first); or (ii) the SFC, in its discretion, otherwise so determines in writing, the outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and any other amounts due on the Notes will be permanently reduced, pro rata with reductions in the outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and any other amounts due on other Tier Two Capital subordinated Indebtedness as to which such event has occurred, if any (other than subordinated Indebtedness, that, under its terms, is designated as junior to the Notes) to the extent permitted by the SFC at the time, by an amount needed to (x) restore the Basic Individual Solvency Ratio to 6%; (y) restore the Basic Consolidated Solvency Ratio to 6%; or (z) comply with the order of the SFC to restore the Basic Individual Solvency Ratio or Basic Consolidated Solvency Ratio to 6%, as applicable, provided that the principal amount of the Notes may not be written down below zero.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

In connection with the several purchases today by you pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, dated [•], 2024 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), between Bancolombia S.A., a financial institution incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Colombia as a sociedad anónima (the “Bank”), and you, of U.S. $[•] aggregate principal amount of the Bank’s [•]% Subordinated Notes due [•] (the “Notes”), issued pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of [•], 2024 (the “Indenture”), between the Bank and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”) (the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture and the Notes, together the “Opinion Documents”), we, as United States counsel for the Bank, have examined such corporate records, certificates and other documents, and such questions of law, as we have considered necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion. Upon the basis of such examination, it is our opinion that:

1. The Underwriting Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Bank.

2. The Indenture has been duly executed and delivered by the Bank, has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 and constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Bank enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles.

BofA Securities, Inc. Citigroup Global Markets Inc. J.P. Morgan Securities LLC -2-

3. The Notes have been duly executed, authenticated and delivered, are entitled to the benefits of the Indenture and constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Bank enforceable against it in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles.

4. All regulatory consents, authorizations, approvals and filings required to be obtained or made by the Bank under the Covered Laws (as defined below) for the execution and delivery by the Bank of the Opinion Documents and the issuance and sale of the Notes by the Bank have been obtained or made.

5. The Bank is not, and after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Notes and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in the Prospectus Supplement dated [•], 2024 under the caption “Use of Proceeds” will not be, required to be registered as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

6. The issuance of the Notes in accordance with the Indenture and the sale of the Notes by the Bank to you pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement do not, and the performance by the Bank of its obligations under the Opinion Documents will not, violate any Covered Laws applicable to the Bank.

7. Under the laws of the State of New York relating to submission to personal jurisdiction, the Bank has, pursuant to Section 15 of the Underwriting Agreement and [11.09] of the Indenture, validly and irrevocably submitted to the personal jurisdiction of any court of the State of New York, located in the City and County of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, in any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture or the transactions contemplated thereby, has validly and irrevocably waived, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, any objection to the venue of a proceeding in any such court, has, pursuant to Section 14 of the Underwriting Agreement and [11.09] of the Indenture, validly and irrevocably appointed Law Debenture Corporate Services Inc. in New York as its authorized agent for service of process, and service of process effected on such agent in the manner set forth in the Underwriting Agreement and Indenture and otherwise in accordance with applicable law will be effective to confer valid personal jurisdiction over the Bank in any such action, in each case, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles, and assuming (a) the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Underwriting Agreement by you and the Indenture by the Trustee and (b) the validity and effectiveness of such actions insofar as the laws of the Republic of Colombia are concerned.

BofA Securities, Inc. Citigroup Global Markets Inc. J.P. Morgan Securities LLC -3-

8. The execution and delivery by the Bank of the Opinion Documents do not, and the performance by the Bank of its obligations under the Opinion Documents will not, (a) violate the Deposit Agreement between the Bank and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Depositary, relating to the American Depositary Shares of the Bank, which agreement is listed as an exhibit to the Bank’s most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or (b) result in a default under or breach or violation of the agreements listed in Annex A to this opinion; provided, however, that we are expressing no opinion in clause (b) as to compliance with any financial or accounting test, or any limitation or restriction expressed as a dollar amount, ratio or percentage, in Section 7.5 of the Credit Agreement (as defined in Annex A).

We are expressing no opinion in paragraph 6 above, insofar as performance by the Bank of its obligations under any Opinion Document is concerned, as to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights. Also, for purposes of the opinions in paragraphs 4 and 6 above, “Covered Laws” means the Federal laws of the United States and the statutory laws of the State of New York (including the published rules and regulations thereunder) that in our experience normally are applicable to general business corporations and transactions such as those contemplated by the Opinion Documents; provided further, that such term does not include Federal or state securities laws, antifraud laws or fraudulent transfer laws, tax laws, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, antitrust laws or any law that is applicable to the Bank, the Opinion Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby solely as part of a regulatory regime applicable to the Bank or its affiliates due to its or their status, business or assets.

In connection with our opinion set forth in paragraph 7 above, we assume that any such action will be properly brought in a court having jurisdiction over the subject matter, and we are expressing no opinion with respect to the subject matter jurisdiction of any such court. Furthermore, we express no opinion with respect to the provisions of Section 15 of the Underwriting Agreement and Section [11.09] of the Indenture insofar as it relates to (i) the subject matter jurisdiction of any United States Federal court to adjudicate any controversy, (ii) the jurisdiction of any courts other than the courts of the State of New York and United States Federal courts, (iii) the conclusiveness or enforceability of foreign judgments, or (iv) the waiver of inconvenient forum with respect to proceedings in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.

BofA Securities, Inc. Citigroup Global Markets Inc. J.P. Morgan Securities LLC -4-

The foregoing opinion is limited to the Federal laws of the United States and the laws of the State of New York, and we are expressing no opinion as to the effect of the laws of any other jurisdiction. We have, with your approval, assumed that the Bank has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a sociedad anónima in good standing under the laws of the Republic of Colombia, and that any document referred to in this opinion and executed by the Bank has been duly authorized, executed and delivered insofar as the laws of the Republic of Colombia are concerned and is valid, binding and enforceable under the laws of the Republic of Colombia. With respect to all matters of Colombian law, we understand that you are relying upon the opinion, dated [•], 2024, of Brigard & Urrutia Abogados S.A.S. delivered to you pursuant to Section 6(d) of the Underwriting Agreement.

We have also relied as to certain matters upon information obtained from public officials, officers of the Bank and other sources believed by us to be responsible, and we have assumed that the Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Trustee, that the Notes conform to the specimen thereof examined by us, that the Trustee’s certificates of authentication of the Notes have been manually signed by one of the Trustee’s authorized officers, and that the signatures on all documents examined by us are genuine, assumptions which we have not independently verified.

This letter is furnished by us, as United States counsel to the Bank, to you, as underwriters in connection with the offering of the Notes, solely for your benefit in your capacity as such, and may not be relied upon by any other person. This letter may not be quoted, referred to or furnished to any purchaser or prospective purchaser of the Notes and may not be used in furtherance of any offer or sale of the Notes.

(e) that the Company has not omitted to deliver any material documentation regarding the documents related to the Transactions Documents, and the consummation of the transactions thereby contemplated as requested for the purpose of rendering the present opinion,

(f) that the parties, other than the Company, have been duly incorporated and are in good standing in accordance with the law of their respective places of incorporation,

(g) the valid and due execution and delivery, pursuant to due authorization, of each of the Transactions Documents by each of the parties thereto (other than the Company),

(h) that each of the parties to Transaction Documents, other than the Company, has the corporate power and authority to enter into and perform each of the Transaction Documents,

(i) that there has not been any action by any of the parties to the Transactions Documents, any third party or any governmental authority to revoke, terminate or declare null or void the Transactions Documents, and

(j) the absence of any other agreements on course of dealing among the parties to the Transactions Documents which modify or supersede any of the terms thereof.

We have relied, as to factual matters, on representations, statements and warranties contained in the Underwriting Agreement and in the documents we have examined. Also, we have examined such corporate records, certificates and other documents, and such questions of law, as we considered necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion.

  

II. Opinion

Based on the foregoing and subject to the qualifications set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

1. The Company (a) has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a sociedad anónima (stock corporation) and is in good standing under the laws of the Republic of Colombia, and duly authorized as a local bank by the Colombian Superintendence of Finance; (b) has corporate power and authority to: (i) own, lease and, operate its properties; (ii) to conduct its business as described in the Prospectus Supplement; (iii) to execute and deliver the Underwriting Agreement and the Indenture, and (iv) to perform its obligations thereunder, including, without limitation, to issue, sell and deliver the New Subordinated Notes as contemplated by the Transaction Documents. All actions required to be taken for the due and proper authorization, execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly and validly taken. To the best of our knowledge, upon due inquiry, no action has been taken to dissolve or wind up the business affairs of the Company.

2. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of its obligations under the Transaction Documents, and the Transaction Documents, have been duly authorized, executed, issued and delivered by the Company, and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the other parties thereof, constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency (including, without limitation, all laws relating to fraudulent transfers), moratorium, toma de posesión, or other similar laws or general principles of equity relating to or affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally.

3. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the obligations under the Transaction Documents, the issuance and sale of the New Subordinated Notes, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in the Disclosure Package and in the Prospectus under the heading “Use of Proceeds” do not and will not result in any breach or violation of or constitute a default under, nor constitute any event which, with notice, lapse of time or both, would result in any breach or violation of or constitute a default under or give the holder of any indebtedness or a person acting on such holder’s behalf, the right to require the repurchase, redemption or repayment of all or a part of such indebtedness under, or result in the creation or imposition of a lien, charge or encumbrance on any property or assets of the Company pursuant to: (i) the bylaws of the Company, (ii) any statute, rule, regulation, order or any applicable law of Colombia, or (iii) any decree, judgment or order applicable to the Company or any of its respective properties, which decree, judgment or order is known by us.

  

4. No filing with, or authorization, approval, consent, license, order, registration, qualification or decree of, any domestic court or governmental authority or agency, self-regulatory organization or other non-governmental regulator authority (other than such as may be required under the applicable securities laws of the jurisdiction in which the New Subordinated Notes will be offered or sold, as to which we need express no opinion) is necessary or required in connection with the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Underwriting Agreement or the due execution, delivery^- and performance of the Indenture by the Company, the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby except such as have been already obtained, or for the offering, issuance, sale or delivery of the New Subordinated Notes to the underwriters of the offer, resale and delivery by the Underwriters in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement; provided, however, that the issuance of the New Subordinated Notes must be registered with the Colombian Central Bank (Banco de la República de Colombia), and any sums must be transferred using the foreign exchange market, subject to all the rules and regulations applicable to foreign indebtedness transactions under Colombian law, that the Company must request the classification of the New Subordinated Notes as Tier Two Capital with the Colombian Superintendence of Finance (Superintendencia Financiera de Colombia), and that the Company must have filed the disclosure of material information (Información Relevante) before the Colombian Superintendence of Finance, in respect of the issuance of the New Subordinated Notes, in accordance with Decree 2555 of 2010.

5. The New Subordinated Notes have been duly authorized, executed, issued and delivered by the Company in accordance with the Indenture and, assuming due authentication and delivery by the Trustee (and assuming that the New Subordinated Notes constitute valid and legally binding obligations under the laws of the State of New York, and are issued and delivered against payment of the purchase price therefor), the New Subordinated Notes will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium (including, without limitation, all laws relating to fraudulent transfers) or other similar laws relating to or affecting enforcement of creditor’s rights generally, or by general principles of equity, and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.

  

6. Each of the Transaction Documents and the New Subordinated Notes is in proper legal form under the laws of Colombia for the enforcement thereof in Colombia against the Company, provided that under the laws of Colombia, the choice of New York law as the governing law would be recognized by the courts of Colombia subject to the proof of the provisions of applicable New York law in the manner provided for in such proceedings in Colombia; and it is not necessary to ensure the legality, validity, enforceability or admissibility in evidence of any of the Transaction Documents in the Republic of Colombia or any political subdivision thereof or agency therein that any of them be filed or recorded with any court, authority or agency in, or that any stamp, registration or similar taxes or duties be paid to any court, authority or agency of the Republic of Colombia or any political subdivision thereof; provided, however, that in the event that a legal proceeding is brought before the courts of the Republic of Colombia, a Spanish translation prepared and stamped by a court approved translator, or by the Ministry of Foreign Relations (Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores) or an official translator of the Transaction Documents will be required in such proceeding, which translation must be approved by the court after the parties to the relevant proceedings have been given the opportunity to be heard with respect to the accuracy of the translation, and proceedings would thereafter be based upon the translated documents. Compliance with the Hague Convention (known as Apostille) concerning the legalization of documents executed abroad (outside Colombia), is also required.

7. Except as described in each of the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, and subject to the classification of the instrument by the Colombian Superintendence of Finance (Superintendencia Financiera de Colombia) and the qualifications set forth under herein, the New Subordinated Notes will constitute the Company’s direct, unconditional, unsecured and subordinated tier two capital obligations, that will rank junior to all of the Company’s existing and future unsubordinated indebtedness, pari passu with all other future tier two capital subordinated indebtedness, and senior to all existing and future classes of the Company’s tier one capital and additional tier one capital instruments, in accordance with articles 2.1.1.1.1 et seq. of Decree 2555 of 2010.

8. Subject to the classification of the New Subordinated Notes by the Colombian Superintendence of Finance pursuant to article 2.1.1.1.6 of Decree 2555 of 2010, the New Subordinated Notes meet the requirements to qualify as Tier Two Capital of the Company under 2.1.1.1.9 of Decree 2555 of 2010.

9. Based on the documents and information provided by the Company and reviewed by us, except as disclosed in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus Supplement, to our knowledge, after reasonable inquiry, there is no pending action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation, to which the Company is a party, or to which the property of the Company is subject, before or brought by any court or governmental agency or body, which would reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect, or which would materially and adversely affect the properties or assets thereof or the consummation of the transactions contemplated in the Underwriting Agreement or the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder or the transactions contemplated by the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus Supplement.

  

10. The information in the Pricing Disclosure Package and in the Prospectus under “Enforcement of Civil Liabilities against Foreign Persons”, “Banking Regulation”, “Tax Considerations—Colombian Tax Considerations”, “Risk Factors”, “Description of the Notes” and “Exchange Rates”, and to the extent that it constitutes matters of law, the summaries of legal matters the Company’s charter or legal conclusions, has been reviewed by us and is accurate in all material respects.

11. Except as set forth, and subject to the conditions provided in the Pricing Disclosure Package and Prospectus, and provided that the holders of the New Subordinated Notes are not Colombian residents for tax purposes, there is no tax, impost, deduction, or withholding imposed by Colombia or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein on any payment to be made by the Company pursuant to the New Subordinated Notes.

12. None of the Underwriters, the Trustee or the holders of the New Subordinated Notes will be deemed residents or subject to taxation in Colombia, by virtue solely of the execution or performance of the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture or the New Subordinated Notes, assuming that none of such persons is domiciled or a resident of Colombia for tax purposes, regardless the place where the execution of such documents takes place.

13. The Company, and its obligations under the Transaction Documents, is subject to civil and commercial law and to suit and neither the Company nor any of its properties, assets or revenues have any right of immunity, on the grounds of sovereignty, from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from the giving of any relief in any such legal action, suit or proceeding, from setoff or counterclaim, from the jurisdiction of any the Republic of Colombia, New York State or U.S. federal court, as the case may be, from service of process, attachment upon or prior to judgment, or attachment in aid of execution of judgment, or from execution or enforcement of a judgment, or other legal process or proceeding for the giving of any relief or for the enforcement of a judgment, in any such court, with respect to its obligations or liabilities or any other matter under or arising out of or in connection to the Transaction Documents; and, to the extent that the Company or any of its respective properties, assets or revenues may have or may hereafter become entitled to any such right of immunity in any such court in which proceedings may at any time be commenced, the Company has waived or will waive such right to the extent permitted by law and has consented to such relief and enforcement as provided in the Transaction Documents.

  

14. Pursuant to articles 605 and 606 of Law 1564 of 2012 (Código General del Proceso), the courts of Colombia would give effect to and enforce a judgment obtained in a court outside Colombia without re-trial or re-examination of the merits of the case provided (a) that there exists a treaty or convention relating to recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments between Colombia and the country of origin of the judgment or, in the absence of such treaty, that proper evidence is provided to the Supreme Court of Colombia to the effect that the courts of the country of the subject judgment would recognize and enforce Colombian judgments, and (b) that the subject judgment fulfills the requirements listed below. In order to enforce a foreign judgment in Colombia, it must first be submitted to “Exequatur” proceedings in accordance with article 607 of Law 1564 of 2012 (Código General del Proceso), before the Supreme Court of Colombia which, in addition to the issue referred to in (a) above, must examine whether the following requirements have been fulfilled: (A) such foreign judgment does not refer to in rem rights on assets located within Colombian territory at the commencement of the proceedings in the foreign court which issued the judgment; (B) such foreign judgment does not conflict with public order laws of Colombia, except procedural laws; (C) such foreign judgment is final and not subject to appeal, according to the laws of the country where it was made; (D) a duly legalized copy of the judgment (together with an official translation into Spanish if the judgment is issued in a foreign language) has been presented to a competent court in Colombia; (E) no proceedings are pending before Colombian courts with respect to the same subject matter, or final judgment has been awarded by a Colombian Court in any proceedings on the same subject matter; (F) the subject matter of such foreign judgment is not of the exclusive jurisdiction of a Colombian court or judge; (G) in the proceedings in which such foreign judgment was made, the defendant was properly served according to the laws of such jurisdiction and given an opportunity to defend the action in question and (H) the exequatur requirement has been observed. In any case, enforceability decisions are considered by Supreme Court of Justice of Colombia in a case-by-case basis.

15. A judgment obtained in a foreign court ordering the payment of money by the Company under the New Subordinated Notes would not conflict with public order laws of Colombia. Proceedings for execution of a money judgment by attachment or execution against any assets or property located in Colombia would be within the exclusive jurisdiction of Colombian courts. In the course of the “exequatur” proceedings, both the plaintiff and the defendant are allowed the opportunity to request that evidence be collected in connection with the issues listed above; also, before the judgment is rendered, each party may file final allegations in support of such party’s position.

  

16. The choice of law of the State of New York as the governing law of the Transaction Documents and the New Subordinated Notes is a valid choice of law under the laws of Colombia, except that all matters governing the authorizations required by the Colombian Superintendence of Finance (Superintendencia Financiera de Colombia) and classification of the New Subordinated Notes as Tier Two Capital of the Company, shall be governed by the laws of Colombia. Subject to compliance with certain Colombian evidentiary requirements, the courts of Colombia shall honor this choice of law; provided, that the primary obligations arising from the Transaction Documents and the New Subordinated Notes are performed outside Colombia; the Transaction Documents and the New Subordinated Notes do not contravene Colombian provisions of public policy; and provided, further, that the application of New York law will be preempted by applicable Colombia law in matters of bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and laws of general applicability relating to or affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or to general principles of equity; the submission by the Company to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the U.S. federal or state courts sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York in the Transaction Documents constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Company, and service of process effected in the manner set forth in the Transaction Documents assuming validity under the laws of the State of New York, will be effective, insofar as Colombian law is concerned, to confer valid personal jurisdiction over the Company.

17. It is not necessary under Colombian law (a) in order to enable that you or any holder of the New Subordinated Notes to enforce their respective rights under the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture or the New Subordinated Notes; or (b) by reason of the execution, delivery or performance of the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture and the New Subordinated Notes, that you or any holder should be domiciled, resident, licensed, qualified, authorized as a financial institution by the Superintendence of Finance or entitled to carry on business in Colombia.

18. Neither the Underwriters nor the holders of the New Subordinated Notes will be deemed to be resident, domiciled or carrying or business in Colombia by reason only of the execution, delivery, performance and/or enforcement of the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture or the New Subordinated Notes. It is not necessary under the laws of Colombia, in order to enable the Underwriters, the Trustee or the holders of the New Subordinated Notes, to enforce any of their rights under the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture or the New Subordinated Notes, that the Underwriters, the Trustee or the holders of the New Subordinated Notes, should be licensed, qualified or entitled to carry on business in Colombia.

  

19. The indemnification provisions set forth in the Underwriting Agreement do not contravene the laws or any public policy of Colombia or any political subdivision thereof, provided that as pursuant to Colombian law, indemnification provisions are not enforceable if there has been gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the indemnified party.

20. Under current applicable Colombian laws and regulations, payments made under the Notes may be freely transferred out of Colombia, and may be paid in, or freely converted into U.S. dollars, in compliance with applicable Colombian foreign exchange regulations.

In the course of our acting as Colombian counsel to the Company, we have participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of the Company, representatives of the independent public accountants of the Company and representatives of the Underwriters at which the contents of the Registration Statement and the Pricing Disclosure Package were discussed and, although we are not passing upon and although we assume no responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus Supplement (except as expressly provided above) and we make no representation that we have independently verified the accuracy, completeness and fairness of such statements (except as aforesaid), nothing has come to our attention that would lead us to believe that (i) the Registration Statement, as of the Effective Time, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, not misleading, (ii) the Pricing Disclosure Package, as of the Applicable Time, and the Prospectus, as of its date and the date hereof, (except for the financial statements and schedules and other financial data included or incorporated by reference therein or omitted therefrom, as to which we need make no statement) contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

  

Furthermore, we express no opinion as to whether a court in any proceeding in Colombia would give effect to certain provisions that may be limited by: (i) applicable procedural rules that do not allow waivers of immunity and service of process by private companies within Colombia and pursuant to which any immunity from proceedings (jurisdiction, execution or attachment) which might in the future be available under Colombian law may not be validly waived in advance; and (ii) the unavailability under Colombian law of equitable remedies or injunctive relief, except for fundamental constitutional rights. The foregoing opinions are subject to the following comments and qualifications:

III. Qualifications, exceptions and limitations

a) The insolvency regime in Colombia is somewhat untested in connection with international bond transactions as there have been no precedents. As a result, there is little guidance as to how the legislative framework would be applied in practice and, in particular, the definitive approach that would be adopted by a liquidator or insolvency appointed judge in assessing the claims of tier two capital subordinated creditors of a company incorporated in Colombia with contractual subordination provisions.

b) Pursuant to the Colombian current regulations, any prepayment, early redemption or repurchase of the New Subordinated Notes can only be executed after five (5) years following the issuance date of the New Subordinated Notes and is subject to: (i) the prior approval by the Colombian Superintendence of Finance (Superintendencia Financiera de Colombia), (ii) the replacement of the New Subordinated Notes by debt instruments that qualify as tier one capital, additional tier one capital or tier two capital in a manner that allows the Company to have sustainable revenue generation capacity, or the demonstration by the Company that its capital position would be above the minimum capital requirements after any early redemption. Furthermore, the Company must not create expectations regarding the prepayment, redemption or early repurchase of the New Subordinated Notes.

c) Optional redemptions of the New Subordinated Notes upon a tax event or a regulatory event (as considered under Basel III) (even within the first five (5) years after the issue date of the New Subordinated Notes) are permitted by current Colombian banking regulation, pursuant to Decree 1477 of 2018. In these events, the Company must also obtain prior approval from the Colombian Superintendence of Finance (Superintendencia Financiera de Colombia).

d) Pursuant to Article 13 of Law 1564 of 2012 of Colombia (Código General del Proceso), civil procedure rules are considered public order laws and therefore cannot be modified or waived by private agreements. To the extent that the parties to the Agreements commence enforcement actions before Colombian courts instead of commencing them in foreign courts (which final rulings may subsequently be enforced in Colombia through exequatur proceedings as described above), any waivers made by the parties to the Agreements and the Securities in respect of Colombia’s rules of civil procedure may be rendered unenforceable.

  

e) In any proceeding in Colombia, service of notice to the parties thereto must be made in accordance with the provisions of Law 1564 of 2012 of Colombia (Código General del Proceso). Contractual provisions regarding services of notice procedures will not be enforceable.

f) In any proceeding in Colombia in which a law of a foreign country were to be applied, there should be evidence of the law sought to be applied, through (i) a copy of such law duly issued and promulgated by the competent authorities or, (ii) by means of an expertise issued by a person or institutions expert in the law of that foreign country or, (iii) when a written law does not exist, through the deposition or affidavit of two or more lawyers admitted in the relevant jurisdiction regarding such applicable law, in accordance with article 177 of Law 1564 of 2012 of Colombia (Código General del Proceso).

g) Pursuant to Article 251 of Law 1564 of 2012 of Colombia (Código General del Proceso), in order for a document written in a foreign language to be admissible evidence before a Colombian Court, the relevant document must be translated into Spanish either by Colombia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, by an official translator (intérprete oficial), or by a translator appointed by the competent judge. Compliance with the Hague Convention (known as Apostille) concerning the legalization of documents executed abroad (outside Colombia), is also required.

Furthermore, pursuant to Article 823 of Colombia’s Code of Commerce (Código de Comercio): (i) the technical and usual terms contained within documents to be used as evidence of commercial agreements and obligations, or that refer to the performance and execution of such agreements and obligations, will be understood as in their meaning in Spanish, and (ii) the Spanish version of a document used to evidence obligations or contracts which most closely resembles the original text shall prevail over the foreign language version of such document. In the event that a party to an enforcement action considers that the available translation into Spanish of documents written in a foreign language is not accurate, such party has the right to object to any such inaccuracy in such enforcement proceedings.

h) The enforcement of the Transaction Documents may be limited by, and any proceeding for enforcement in Colombia would be subject to the statute of limitations. Pursuant to Article 2535 of Colombia’s Civil Code (“Código Civil”), in order for the statute of limitations to run and extinguish enforcement rights it is necessary that the party entitled to exercise an enforcement action fails to do so during a period commencing on the date in which the relevant right became enforceable and ending 5 or 10 years after, as the case may be (depending on the relevant statute of limitations). Pursuant to Section 2514 of Código Civil, a waiver to the statute of limitations can only be granted once the relevant statute of limitations has elapsed.

  

i) In accordance with Article 902 of Colombia’s Code of Commerce (Código de Comercio), any nullification of a provision of a Transaction Document would nullify the entire document as if the parties would not have entered into such document in the absence of such nullified provision, solely to the extent that the nullified provision is considered “essential” to the agreement in accordance with Article 1501 of the Colombian Civil Code.

j) According to Colombian laws, the laws applicable to a given agreement are those in existence at the time of execution, even if those laws change in the future, provided that the changes are not related to, or do not affect, public order laws, which are applicable to a given agreement in their existing form.

k) Colombian exchange control regulations are deemed to be public order laws, therefore, the ability of the Company to perform its obligations payable in foreign currency under the New Subordinated Notes (and the ability of any person to remit the proceeds of any judgment award issued by a court in Colombia in foreign currency out of Colombia) will be subject to foreign exchange regulations in effect at the time of the relevant payment or remittance.

l) The provisions of the Transaction Documents which treat certain determinations as conclusive may be subject to review in a proceeding in Colombia to determine the correctness of such determinations.

m) Under Colombian Law, charging interest on interest (whether accrued or unpaid) is not permitted unless such interest is charged as permitted under Article 886 of Colombia’s Code of Commerce (Código de Comercio).

n) Except for some constitutional actions, Colombian law does not contemplate the equitable or injunctive remedies or reliefs. However, under Colombia law (mainly Laws 1437 of 2011 and 1564 of 2012) a court may order any precautionary measure it deem necessary in order to provisionally protect and guarantee the subject matter of the dispute and the eventual fulfillment or enforcement of its ruling. That is so for litigation involving state entities (such as the Company) and for civil cases.

o) The enforceability of the obligations of the Company under the Transaction Documents may be limited by laws governing the bankruptcy, insolvency (including, without limitation, all laws relating to fraudulent transfers), reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, toma de posesión or other similar laws relating to or affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and is subject to statutory preferences granted under Colombian laws (including labor, pensions and tax claims), and by claims which have, without any agreement, notarization or other voluntary act, priority for payment by operation of law.

  

p) The initiation of a reorganization or toma de posesión proceedings provides the suspension of the current judicial procedures of collection and the provisional suspension of the guarantee execution. If the reorganization or toma de posesión process is not successful and the debtor initiates a liquidation proceeding, the guarantees will be executed according to the terms of the insolvency proceeding applicable to the Company.

q) Colombian insolvency laws and regulations are considered public order laws (normas de orden público) and therefore cannot be modified or waived by private agreements. As a consequence, any waivers made by the parties to such documents in respect of Colombia’s insolvency rules may be rendered unenforceable and a Colombian Court may disregard any contractual subordination provision relating to the Transaction Documents.

r) The issuance and sale of the New Subordinated Notes are ruled by the foreign exchange regulations, and the Company will have to use the proceeds of the New Subordinated Notes in accordance with the Colombian foreign exchange regulations, including without limitation, the uses established in article 8 of External Regulation 1 of 2018 issued by the Colombian Central Bank (Banco de la República).

s) A final and conclusive judgment (not subject to appeal) of the courts of the State of New York for the payment of money rendered against the Company in respect of the New Subordinated Notes, would be recognized by the courts of Colombia, subject to obtaining the Exequatur of the judgment from the Supreme Court of Colombia (Corte Suprema de Justicia de la República de Colombia), as described above.

t) Any proceeding to enforce a judicial decision by means of seizure, attachment or execution against assets or property, or against any right or interest in assets or properties located in Colombia, is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Colombian courts.

u) Pursuant to Articles 15 and 16 of Colombia’s Civil Code (Código Civil), the waiver of immunity granted under applicable sections of the Transaction Documents is permissible provided that said waiver only affects the rights of the waiving party and taking into account the exceptions and limitations to grant such waiver as indicated herein and in the Transaction Documents. Under Colombian law any immunity from proceedings which might be available in the future cannot be validly waived in advance.

  

v) In rendering our opinion and making the statements herein, whenever an opinion is qualified by “to our knowledge” or similar words, it is intended to mean that no information has come to our attention during the course of our advice to the Company for purposes of the offering of the New Subordinated Notes that gives us actual knowledge of the inaccuracy of such opinion or statement

w) In any proceeding in Colombia, service of notice to the parties thereto must be made in accordance with the provisions of Law 1564 of 2012 of Colombia (Código General del Proceso). Contractual provisions regarding services of notice procedures will not be enforceable.

x) If, pursuant to the Transaction Documents governed by a law other than Colombian law and submitted to the jurisdiction of courts other than Colombian courts, a party to such Transaction Documents were to initiate judicial actions in Colombian courts, although the other party should be able to argue that the transaction is performed outside of Colombia since the bonds are issued abroad, its interests are paid abroad and investors and trustee are located abroad, there are no explicit laws and regulations or Colombian court decisions with precedential value pursuant to which it is possible to conclusively determine (i) if a Colombian judge would assume jurisdiction over the case or, instead, determine that the case is subject exclusively to the forum expressly agreed to by the parties under the Transaction Documents; (ii) if a Colombian judge assuming jurisdiction over the case would apply Colombian law or New York law; or (iii) if a Colombian judge were to apply New York law to the case, the manner in which a Colombian judge would admit into evidence the substantive provisions of New York law and how such Colombian judge would apply, interpret or construe New York law.

y) Article 869 of Colombia’s Code of Commerce provides that any agreement executed abroad containing obligations to be performed by the parties thereof in Colombia must be governed by Colombian laws, regardless of whether or not such parties are Colombian residents. Considering that pursuant to Law 33 of 1992, payment obligations under credit transactions are deemed to be held and performed in the place of payment, we believe that the Transaction Documents contain provisions that, if observed, will make the main obligations thereunder to be performed outside Colombia considering payment obligations are to be paid abroad, and, therefore, parties are not subject to Colombian law as set forth by Article 869 of the Colombia’s Code of Commerce and may validly choose the law of the State of New York as the governing law of the Transaction Documents.

  

z) Under Colombian law, in rem rights over property located in Colombia, including the transfer of ownership, the granting of liens or security interests, and any proceeding to enforce a judicial decision by means of seizure, attachment or execution against assets or property, or against any right or interest in assets or properties located in Colombia, must be governed by the laws of Colombia and any collection proceeding over each assets located in Colombia will be subject to the jurisdiction of Colombian courts.

aa) Pursuant to and subject to the limitations provided for in article 594 of the Código General del Proceso, assets listed in said article are not subject to any attachment.

This opinion is limited to matters of Colombian law in force on the date hereof. We express no opinion with respect to the law of any other jurisdiction. We express no opinion as to the effect on the opinions set forth herein of any failure by any party to comply with laws and regulations pertaining to banks, trustees or other financial institutions or affiliates thereof, if applicable, or other laws or regulations applicable to any party by reason of such party’s status or the nature of its business or assets. This opinion is specific as to the offering of the New Subordinated Notes, and the documents referred to herein and is based upon the law as of the date hereof. Our opinions are limited to those expressly set forth herein, and we express no opinions by implication.

We are licensed to practice law in Colombia and we do not hold ourselves out as being conversant with, and express no opinion as to, the laws of any jurisdiction other than those of Colombia. In particular, to the extent that New York or United States Federal law is relevant to this opinion, we have relied, without any independent investigation, on the opinion of Sullivan & Cromwell LLP, special U.S. legal counsel to the Company, delivered to you pursuant to Section 6(c) of the Underwriting Agreement, and our opinion is subject to the same assumptions, qualifications and limitations with respect to such matters as are contained in such opinion of Sullivan & Cromwell LLP. We assume no obligation to update or supplement this opinion to reflect any facts which may hereafter come to our attention or any changes in the law which may hereafter occur.

In rendering this opinion, we rely as to matters of fact on certificates of responsible officers of the Company and public officials that are furnished to the underwriters.

This opinion is solely of your benefit and may not be relied upon in any manner or purpose by any other person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may disclose the contents of this letter to any person to whom disclosure is required by law or court order, or if such disclosure is necessary to defend or resist an action or claim in connection with the performance of your obligations under the Underwriting Agreement.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I have acted as in house counsel of Bancolombia S.A., a Colombian financial institution organized and existing as a sociedad anónima under the laws of the Republic of Colombia (the “Company”), in connection with the Company’s offering of U.S. $[•] [•]% Subordinated Notes due [•] (the “Notes”) issued pursuant to the Indenture dated [•], 2024 between the Company and the Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”).

This opinion is delivered to you pursuant to Section 6(e) of the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) entered into with you, as underwriters (collectively, the “Underwriters”), dated [•], 2024.

In stating my opinion, I have assumed for the purposes of the opinions expressed herein, that each of the parties to the Underwriting Agreement and the Indenture, other than the Company, has the corporate power and authority to enter into and perform each of the Underwriting Agreement and the Indenture and that the Underwriting Agreement and the Indenture have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each such party. Also, I have examined such corporate records, certificates and other documents, and such questions of law, as I have considered necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Underwriting Agreement.

Based upon the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:

1. The execution, delivery and performance of the Underwriting Agreement and the Indenture by the Company, the issuance and sale of the Notes, the consummation of the transaction contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in the Prospectus Supplement under the heading “Use of Proceeds” do not and will not result in any breach or violation of or constitute a default under (nor constitute any event which, with notice, lapse of time or both, would result in any breach or violation of or constitute a default under or give the holder of any indebtedness (or a person acting on such holder’s behalf) the right to require the

repurchase, redemption or repayment of all or a part of such indebtedness under) (or result in the creation or imposition of a lien, charge or encumbrance on any property or assets of the Company or any subsidiary pursuant to): (i) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, bank loan or credit agreement or other evidence of indebtedness, or any license, lease, contract, or other agreement or instrument (collectively, “Agreements and Instruments”) which is filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement or any incorporated document or is otherwise known by me, after due inquiry, to be an Agreement and Instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them or any of their respective properties may be bound or affected, or (ii) any decree, judgment or order applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective properties, which decree, judgment or order is known by me, after due inquiry.

2. To my knowledge, (i) there are no contracts, licenses, agreements, leases or documents of a character which are required to be described in the Registration Statement, the Pre-Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus or to be filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement or any Incorporated Document which have not been so described or filed as required; and (ii) there are no actions, suits, claims, investigations or proceedings pending, threatened or contemplated to which the Company or any of its respective directors or officers is or would be a party or to which any of their respective properties is or would be subject at law or in equity, before or by any national, local or foreign governmental or regulatory commission, board, body, authority or agency which are required to be described in the Registration Statement, the Pre-Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus but are not so described as required.

I am licensed to practice law in Colombia and I do not hold myself out as being conversant with, and express no opinion as to, the laws of any jurisdiction other than those of Colombia. This opinion is limited to matters of Colombian law.

I am furnishing this letter to you solely for your benefit in connection with the offering of the Notes. This opinion is solely for your benefit and may not be relied upon in any manner or any purpose by any other person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may disclose the contents of this letter to any person to whom disclosure is required by law or court order, or if such disclosure is necessary to defend or resist an action or claim in connection with the performance of your obligations under the Underwriting Agreement. I assume no obligation to update or supplement this opinion to reflect any fact which may hereafter come to my attention or any changes in law which may hereafter occur.

Very truly yours,
